Gate City Journal
Dear Editor:
It is indeed unfortunate that
there are not more people in this
country (our country) like Dellin
A. Erickson giving their opinions,
as his were expressed in last
week's Gate City Journal.
Our officials in government of
city, county and state are eager
to grasp all of the so-called "free”
money possible for them to get
It is exactly comparable to over
spending and buying on credit
by individuals.
A reserve should first be built,
credit based upon the reserve and
used only in case of emergency
Slavery is classing mildly the
eventuality of debt, whether it
be a country or an individual.
Pride is defined as “honorable
self respect” and when accomp
lished. it is security. Desire should
be for security, then selfishness
would not exist.
I would rather eat beans paid
for, than to owe for a steak.

ment "on the ball," shoplifters have found tough sledding lately
in downtown Nyssa. This photo was snapped shortly before noon
Friday in front of Wilson Bros. Dept, store. In the center is Don
Bowers, a clerk in the men's department, who spotted Rick Asher
as he was stuffing socks underneath his jacket. Nyssa Police Chief
Francis E. Petrie was on the scene immediately, and with Bowers'
cooperation, the man was picked up in a nearby tavern. Petrie said
Asher was very intoxicated and he doubted if he even knew what
he was doing. He was arrested for petty larceny and $35 bail was
posted by his employer. The amount was forfeited when Asher
failed to appear in court the following day, the chief stated. This
is the second unsuccessful shoplifting attempt within a period of
one week, as it was on the previous Saturday evening when Sgt.
Alvin Allen spotted and nabbed shoplifters at Michael's Pharmacy.
