YOU CAN EARN YOUR “SOCIAL SECURITY”— T would seem that “social security’ is des- 1 tined to be a political issue for along time to come. Within the parties there is considerable internal discension as to what is the proper pro gram to pursue. In the meantime, millions of American cit izens are quietly and .effectively achieving social security for themselves without benefit of gov ernment. They are setting up trust funds and savings accounts. They are buying life insurance in un- precendented amounts—and more and more of the insurance sold is of the annuity type which provides old-age income as well as protection for dependents. This is not an argument against government social security, which is believed to be a compell ing need of the time. It is, however, a tribute to that old type of American independence which guards against the future through individual thrift, foresight and good hard work. ------------------- * ------------------- . BALANCED BUDGET MEANS BETTER TIMES— HE first statement of the President as to T future policies dealt with the problem of the Federal deivcit. Mr. Roosevelt, in a brief an- nouncment, said that he believed it would be possible to balance the budget and that he in tended to do so at the earliest possible time. Various commentators, some of them close to the White House, anticipate that the budget will be balanced at the end of the 1937 fiscal year, .which starts next July. It is doubtful if any act by the President and the Congress would do more to restore confi dence in our government's financial structure, or to stimulate industry and investors. Once the budget is balanced—kept balanced—w.e will at least know that the Federal debt will grow no greater. And, with a balanced budget, we can apply ourselves to the tremendous job of reduc ing the debt to a more normal Level. That, ob viously, cannot be done so long as government spends more than it receives and charges the difference against the future. It has been Mr. Roosevelt’s opinion that dur ing a time of depresión a country should spend far beyond its receipts and, once a reasonable amount of recovery is achieved, reduce outero and return to a business basis. Current condi tions indicate that the time is here when business improvement should make emergency spending unnecessary. The President has apparently refused to listen to those who would have the government keep on spending vast sums in excess of income until debt repudiation or insolvency arrived. It is to be hoped that it will be possible to balance the budget very soon. ------------------- + ------------------- LOOKING BACK AT TWO PLEASANT YEARS— T scarcely seems possible that another year I has passed so quickly, but this issue marks the second anniversary of the Journal under the present editor, and now we are stalling on our third year. Time passes swiftly when one is given the opportunity to keep busy at dozens of varied tasks. We want you to feel that this is your news paper and the Journal is here to serve to the best of our ability. Our policy remains the same, to do our level best to help build Nyssa and Mal heur ,county into a better place in which to live, praying that w.e may leave this world a better place than when we found it. The past two years have been very enjoyable ones, and we find the people of Nyssa about the best sort of folks in the whole wide world. With a fine, nublic-snirited, friendly group of people here in Nyssa, the editing of the community pap er is made doubly enjoyable. We can see a won- erful future for our town, but everyone must put their shoulder to the wheel and help keep things rolling. The Journal wishes to do everything in it’s power to build Nyssa and will welcome any suggestions from readers and friends. Remem ber it’s your paper, and we are here to serve Let's make the coming year the best year in S ou. fyssa’s history! Squirts FROM THE LINOTYPE By John E. Public Oil and gas wells are still believed possible over in Payette county, and this week comes news of the Boise Petroleum Corporation striking a good flow of gas on their Beacon Hill site, six miles from New Ply mouth. The company ceased opera tion during the depression but start ed drilling again last June. # + Hh Sheepman are looking forward to good wool prices for next season, and already some clips have been con tracted for as much as 36 cents a pound. With good profits in sight, the sheep men should be willing to pay a fair price for hay this winter Hay bought so far has been at from $6.50 down. It is wise never to take your wife along hunting, as she might call "Dear" when another hunter is nearby. + <8* + Here's the way one paper tried to apollgize for an error: “Our paper stated last week that Mr. John West Is a defective In the police force This was a typographical error What we meant to say was that Mr John West was a detective In the police farce.” + * + GETTINO EVEN: The Pathfind er is responsible for this poetic gem, and brought to our attention by one of our readers: A smart man With some precision, Of a women Gave this definition: "A rag, a bone and a hank of hair. But a smart women. Not to be outdone, Defined man In the following pun: "A nag, a drone and a tank of air." THOUGHTS By Beulah Barrett roots are shallow growing and should be watered. Don’t forget those flowers on the south side of the house as they suf fer most of all. and this means you too, Mrs. W. Don't forget those wall flowers and vines you set out the first part of November In front of your south porch. Christmas Hf> + + By O. J. Pinkston Christmas Is here again. In every window stands the evergreen, its boughs draped with snowy frills, re minding us that winter is here. Surely the world needs Christmas, with its spirit of giving, like the brightness of the sky the night of Jesus's birth. The festival to millions dwelling In the darkness of selfish ness is the one remaining pointer to a happier, humbler way of life. How much His kindness and love are needed in our sin-sick world to day. Therefore at a time when natural ly our hearts turn to that memorable night when Jesus was born in the lowly stable In the City of Bethle hem, what a fitting time to mani fest this spirit of unselfishness. How is It with you and me, as we stand beside our own Christmas trees. Let us be sure that the old serpent of selfishness Is not some where lying crouched in our gar den. That the evergreen boughs are not laden with gifts for everyone ex cept the Man of Galilee. Humanity stands before us today In want. Let us do our bit to exem plify that one who Himself bore our sorrows and was touched with the feeling of our Infirmities. Let us hand something more real and true on the festal branch for Christ, who forever Identified Himself with our needy race when He said “In as much as ye have did It unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have did It unto me.” Matt. 25-40. God gave His son for humanity and Christ In turn gave Himself to us. Then how best may we honor the worlds redeemer? Remember we give to Him when we give to our fallow man. Material gifts alone cannot satisfy a hungry heart. Gold and silver can never satisfy the yearning for heart purity or soothe a grief torn memory of some loved one who has been snatched from us to an untimely death. May we realizes now as never before the necessity of imitating that life that continually throbbed for others and iastituted that Gospel which Is still the power of God unto Salvation. By O. J.
