(?) THE N Y SSA GATE CITY JO U R N A L . N Y S S A . ORSGOJT TH U R SD A Y . SEPTEM BER It. 195« PAGE FOUR "THIRTY" COMES FOR OUR PUBLISHER GEORGE L. WHORTON P ay ette Independent-E nterprise THE GATE CITY JOURNAL ‘T h irty " is a term used by new spaper m en to signify the end They use it frequently, for the end of an item, the end of a day, or week and w ith reverence for the end of life itself for an asso ciate in the profession. So it is w ith saddened hearts, th at we here at the Independent- E nterprise. are called upon to re port th at it w as " th irty " for our publisher G eorge L. W horton in a hospital at C ascade last F riday afternoon. "The Boss” as we called him, was a m odest m an and never sought publicity for him self He lived, we believe, a full life, w ith m uch activity over and above th at called upon for success in his profession, for the good of his com m unity, the new spaper field and for his fellow man. He took the Ind ep en d en t-E n ter prise from a small beginning in 1936 and developed it to ra n k among the top w eekly new spapers in the state. In addition to the long daily hours required by the new spaper he found tim e to serve as president of the K iw anis Club, and the C ham ber of C om m erce in P ayette; the Idaho Editorial Asso ciation, and to take on o th er com m unity responsibilities. For his outstanding w ork as a new spaperm an, he was elected to m em bership in Sigm a Delta Chi national honorary professional journalism fraternity. He was also a devoted fam ily man, and generous in his giving to charity. To us, his activity as a new s paper m an, good citizen, husband and fa th e r is to be em ulated. And it is our sincere p ray er when “th iry ” comes to us, we m ight a t tain a m easure of his success, in the basic activities of a well spent life. DUANE R.

M alheur County, Oregon E ntered at the postoffice at Nyssa, Oregon for transm ission through the U nited S tates Mails, as a second class m atter, u n d er the act of M arch 3, 1879. Political Parties and Individuals M alheur county seems to be typical of the nation—if not m ore so — in regard to political activity on a local level. A recent G allup poll showed that 62 percent of the people believe the Democratic party is more active in their respective neighborhoods than th e Republican party. In the far west, th a t percentage rose to 67 and w ithout doubt a poll of M alheur county alone would rhow a much higher figure. The D em ocrats are to be commended for the worl^ they are doing to acquaint th eir own registrants, poten tial voters and Republicans w ith th eir issues and their candidates. They are ringing door bells, holding m eet ings and w orking right down to each precinct level. On the opposite side of the picture, th e Republicans, who alw ays have enjoyed a substantial m ajority of registrants in M alheur county, are som ew hat dorm ant w ith th e exception of special groups in Nyssa and Vale w here an intense McKay fqf Senator cam paign is being ttaged. These two groups, naturally, are concentrating on one candidate and no doubt are w inning voters to their cause and helping other GOP office seekers. The county GOP organization seems to be enjoying past victories and assuming th at M alheur county “will alw ays be Republican, just look at the m ajorities piled up in the past!” Politics is good for the nation, the state, the county and each level on down to the individual. The two m ajor political parties have a duty to uphold — an obligation to interest more people in governm ent. National spokes m en for both groups speak loud and long — and until proved otherw ise, we believe they are sincere — about the need for a large turnout on election day. Both sides believe the bigger th e vote, the b etter chance for th eir respective parties. P arty w orkers sometimes forget that a vast m ajority i f the people are som ewhat neglectful of th eir obligation as citizens to vote. There are hundreds of eligible voters rig h t here in M alheur county who have not registered and m any of them w ill find them selves unable to call for ballots on Nov. 6. The Republicans seem to have forgotten th at they lost a U. S. Senator in 1954 w ith a m argin of less than one voter in each precinct in Oregon. Never let it be said that one vote doesn’t count! The individual is the most pow erful guy in America at election time, but it takes organizations to bring indi viduals into the fold. B efore I forget it . . .

The G ate City Journal does refuse to print unsigned letters, free advertising about products for sale and m im eographed messages sent out to new spapers by the hundreds from some central point. Libelous and slan derous statem ents are called to the attention of the letter w rite r and that portion om itted from publication. During the four and one-half years the Journal has been under the present ow nership, all letters to the edito r w ith the above exceptions, have been published. That policy will continue.
