On seeing the enclosed paper
I immediately thought of your
advertising during Nyssa’s
"Krazy Daze”. Some of this,
I must admit is in poor taste
but much of it is clever and
original.
We subscribe to the Journal,
after an absence of 18 years
because of close family ties.

wife Laura, daughter of Damon
Savage of the ranch and Tavern.
Thought you might pick up a
few additional ideas. - Very

Dear Sirs:
Please extend our subscrip
tion to the Journal for one year.
Our check is enclosed.
The Journal is like a letter
from home since we moved four
years ago from the Big Bend
area in Malheur county to
Baker. - Sincerely, Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph King.
To The Editor:
Election day has come and
gone. I hope you will permit
me to use your communication
column to express my very deep
and heartfelt appreciation for
all of the thousands of people
all over the state who gave so
unselfishly of their time and
resources to help in my cam
paign for United States Senate.
I have asked myself often why
so many do so much when their
names never appear in the head
lines and they must often feel
that their efforts go unrecog
nized.
I think the answer must be
the same as the answer to the
question as to why candidates
run. It is simply that they are
dedicated to their country and
to the cause of good repre
sentative government.
If this experiment in demo
cracy is to work each of us
must do what we can, whether
it be running for office, working
for a political party of our
choice, or simply registering
and voting. Each individual con
tribution goes to make up the
strongest and best country on
earth of which each of us is so
proud. It is this multiple, mani
fold effort that so overshadows
the few who condemn and tear
down that government which all
of us hope will ultimately bring
freedom and peace in this world.
I want this humble thanks of
mine to extend as well to those
who worked for my opponent.
While I disagreed with their
judgement as vigorously and
honorably as 1 could, their con
tribution to this competitive
election process is a part of
the overall great picture.
I pledge, once again, my sup
port to the choice of the majority
both now and in the fall
election. - Robert B. Duncan.
The Rev. Ralph A. Lawrence,
minister of the United Metho
