Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879 Like a Monkey on a String Our respect for administration leaders in Washing ton goes up and down like a “Monkey on a String.” We have disliked a great deal of domestic legislation which has been forced through congress by President Johnson in his “Great Society” program—namely, federal aid to education, the civil rights act that eliminates the states right to require a minimum of education to have a voice in our government, the acquisition of more land and the continual effort to run the farming industry from a desk in the capitol. A number of these, along with the proposal to elimi nate the Right-to-Work laws, have been abhorrent to us. Then when the president takes a firm stand to con tain Communistic Russia and China, we gain new re spect for him and his advisers. This is added to when he decides to protect our American citizens in Santo Domingo. But does his own party support him? No, the Fullbrights and Morse’ attack him, saying he is in the wrong and should “negotiate” with these ruffians who have never been known to honor an agreement when it was to their benefit not to do so. But the Republican leaders are strongly supporting him—so four years from now, if the program is successfully continued the Demos can take the credit. In his March 28 “Report to Oregon” our Oregon senator says, “The United States has engaged in acts of international outlawry’ and acts that shock the conscience of much of the civilized world. If the American people do not take their government in hand and demand a stop to these activities, they may find the nations of the world so up in arms against us that our self-assigned mission to save Asia from Communism will encounter increasing opposition not only from the Communists, but from the very people we claim we are saving.” In this two-page letter, not one criticism of the Reds —most of it criticizing our use of the gas that made our enemies sick, not killing them! And our other Oregon senator, Mrs. Neuberger, car ries on a heavy campaign against cigarettes, asking that a warning be printed on each package and in ads stat ing that they are injurious to health. How many of us who use the “weed” have not known this from the beginning of the habit? It seems that she might have picked out alcoholic drinks to better advan tage. Have cigarettes ever caused many crimes to be com mitted or been the cause of people being maimed and wrecked in auto accidents? Or have they been the cause of neglect of children and wives—or gambling away the weekly paycheck? In the case of our two senators from Oregon we have not had many reasons for a rise in respect. May Fellowship Day Observance Planned Tomorrow Afternoon United Church Women of the Nyssa-Adrian area will partici pate in a nationwide observance of May Fellowship Day on Fri day.

CITY OF NYSSA Office of Chief of Police Dear Editor: The following is a letter re- ceived the past week by the Nys sa Police department. Nyssa, Oregon April 28, 1965 Chief of Police F. E. Petrie Nyssa Police Force Dear Sirs: We, the Nyssa Seminary class of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, wish to com mend you for the fine job you are doing here in Nyssa. We appre ciate all you do for us. It’s comforting to know that we have fine men like you willing to pin on a badge and protect us and our town. We hope that we will always honor the law, obey the law and sustain the law.

Royce Bair 1 As different people of different areas have many different opin c c- ions of what they consider a good or satisfactory law enforcement body working within their imme diate area or community, it is of ten difficult if not impossible for an administrative law enforce ment officer to have any idea whether or not himself, his per sonnel and his enforcement poli cies are being accepted by the community and its citizens. In my many years as a law en forcement officer I have always attempted to be a good citizen and a respectful policeman along with being an impartial and non partisan policeman. Over these years I do not know of any time that the arrest of any person gave me any feeling other than sorrow or grief. Yet my policies are and always will be so long as I am a police man that the arrest be made re gardless of whom they may be if there is any possibility of this person endangering his or her own welfare and/or that of oth ers. I believe a healthy, safe and respected community is a must in part of the education of our young citizens and future leaders. The words of Abraham Lincoln, "A house divided against itself cannot long endure," are as im portant today if not more so than when he said them. So it is with deep humility that we thank these young citizens, their teachers and the Church of (PLUS EXCHANGE AND TAX ON ABOVE PRICES) Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for letting us know their feelings and appreciation for the few of us who are doing a job that is very seldom pleasant but is great ly rewarding at times such as this.
