The same people who complain about the snow and cold weather staying with us will be the same ones who will complain about the heat next summer. Most of us, at some time, feel that we could improve upon the weather the Lord provides us but can y<>u think of anyone you would care to trust to provide for your needs any better? We want more snow with a higher moisture content for a good crop year. This might lead, if conditions were good everywhere, to a record pro duction and lower prices for pro ducts our farmers market. Was thinking tonight that when I was much younger I’d now be counting the time when 'I could shed my shoes and go barefooted. Most of my associates did the same thing. Only parents who wanted to show they could afford shoes for their kids kept them shod after April. A kid who has never raced barefoot through a woodland trail, occasionally los ing a big toenail on a misplaced stone or root, and getting over his tears so he can show mother how brave he is when he gets home— has missed something. ♦ • * • We provide toy*, playgrounds, swimming poH- and supervi sion for the little ones now — give the family c • ' i 'he older ones (13 on up) but they aren't any happier than the kid who had to provide his own enter- »•••••••••••••••••••••••< Make Your Sabbath , complete CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT Group Services at 7 p.m. Song and Evangelism, 7:45 Nazarene Church Corner of Fifth and Good Ave. Nyssa, Oregon OMAR BARNHOU8E Pastor ••••••••••••••• BEST ► iainment.

Owyhee Community Church News Dear Editor: Your article in “From This Cor ner” of last week, as to my way of thinking, has been long over due. Since when, and why, is it a foul trait of character to be pa triotic? To believe in constitu tional government by law, not by men? To believe in the U.S.A, first? Only since the red ideology has infiitered every fiber of our na tional life. Liberalism is but one of the avenues used by the “reds” and “pinks” to subvert the free dom of this nation. The power to tax is also the power to destroy. If used to that end, it withers the supply of tax money. The national debt of $7000 per person of this nation means only one thing. We are no longer a free people. We are virtually slaves to those to whom that mon ey is owed. What difference is there between losing our freedom to a dictator Communist, union gangster-rule by nationwide un ions, Naziism, National Socialism or foreclosure? The end result is the same — enslavement of the masses. Overtaxation is one of the vil est, most insidious ways of doing just that; i.e., enslavement of the masses. As to my understanding, liber alism has come to mean only one thing — being liberal with other people’s money, so that they, the other people (the great mass of taxpayers) may be thereby fur ther enslaved. Are you the common taxpayer, so abysmally stupid that you can not see in what a state, we as a nation now are? Are you too spineless to let your voices be heard? 'If not, let’s hear your voice, and may it become a roar that will bring this nation back to sanity and freedom in fact. —ADOLPH E. SCHROEDER Nyssa, Oregon. We-Two group met Friday eve ning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elver Nielsen. Games were play ed and refreshments served to 10 young married couples in attend ance. The group made plans to sponsor a potluck dinner to be served Feb. 23 to all laymen of the church. Next meeting of the young- niairieds will be in March at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ste- phen. Time Changes Noted For Sunday Services At Lutheran Church New hours for Sunday services at Faith Lutheran church have been announced by Pastor John Briehl. Beginning Feb. 11, Sun day school will be conducted at 7 p.m., followed by the worship service at 8 o’clock. Pastors Charles Gunnerson of Faith Lutheran church in Cald well and Marvin Greene of Tri nity Lutheran church in Nampa will alternate conducting the ser vices. This will be a temporary ar rangement until a new pastor is called to replace John Briehl who will be leaving next week for Spanaway, Wash. Journal Classifieds Got Resultai Ladies Missionary group will meet in regular session at 10 a.m. Friday. The all-day meeting will be a potluck dinner at the Ken neth Lorensen home. PLUMBING Mrs. Marilyn Stevens and son, Paul, of Seattle are visiting her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Paul Ludlow. Irvin Zimmerman and HEATING PARMA—4-2981 Who Wants To Work? How’s tae nation’s first depressed training program getting along? We’ve got the initial results right from the horse’s mouth—and the report is downright depressing. We take you now to the state of West Virginia, where only about 750 of the estimated 7,000 to 8,000 unemployed in Cabell and Wayne counties (the rail, coal mining and industrial areas) have applied for retraining. And don’t forget—pay is offered to those learning new jobs. Now this depressed area retraining program was de signed as a federal pilot project to aid areas of chronic employment. Its aim was to teach workers with few job opportunities new skills they could use in new, less de pressed vocations. The State Department of Employment Security — charged with processing applicants — hired nine extra people to handle the anticipated rush of applicants. The rush never came. The extra staff has been cut to four for lack of applicants. These were the answers which the employment office got when they contacted unemployed prospects: “I’m just not interested.” “I expect to be called back to work soon.” “I’m too old to be starting all over again.” Looks like the jobless mountaineers prefer to stay home and live on their unemployment checks. Ministers' Families Honored With Dinner Men Slate Extension Unit Methodist Father-Son Banquet Members Meet At Cameron Home Members of the Nyssa Minis terial association met Jan. 22 for a potluck dinner at the Christian church.
