Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879.
HAVE WE LOST OUR
SENSE OF VALUES?
One can hardly pick up a daily paper without reading where
the Supreme Court has arrived at a new decision changing
what has been our way of life for generations?
It has made rulings on Civil rights, broadened the rights
of criminals, tied the hands of law enforcement officials and
recently ruled that one could legally be restrained from selling
his private property to his choice of buyers (if sale was judged
prejudicial to other would-be-buyers).
Many of these rulings have been made by a 5-4 vote — meaning
that it finally came down to ONE MAN who made the decision
governing all the people of the United States. There may not
be anything unusual in this except the number of decisions
that have been judged in this manner in recent years. Could
it be that the appointment of our justices should be non-political
and not made by the president?
It also appears that Congress may rush into a gun control bill
as a result of the slayings of Martin Luther King and Robert
F. Kennedy. It is commonly recognized that they were both
National figures with large numbers of followers, but were
they so important that their loss should call for a change in
laws that have been In existence since we became a nation?
Could it be that hysteria and not common sense is playing a
part in the proposed changes?
It is easy to ask, ‘‘Who can resent having their guns regis
tered?” And, to those who never read any history, it sounds
plausible, since there is no effort on the part of most citizens,
to hide the knowledge that they own firearms. But all the countries
behind the Iron Curtain remain there because citizens do not
have the right to own firearms. And, isn’t it logical that any
one desiring to take over this country would first ask for regis
tration, and later when some emergency arose, would find an
excuse to confiscate them. (And don’t say it couldn’t happen
here. Lots of events have taken place here in the past two or
three decades that were thought impossible 30 years ago!)

Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Brown
of Parma became parents of a
six-pound, three-ounce boy,
born June 17, 1968 at the Mal
heur Memorial hospital. He had
not been named at press time.
Nyssa is well-blessed with
parks for a town its size. It
is easy to take them for
granted but it meant planning
on the part of city officials
in the past. There is the river
park, used primarily by tour
ists, the park at the swim
pool, the one in the north part
of town and the South park.
The latter is really used. The
swings, teeter totters, merry-
go-round entertains the small
fry. Those a little older use
the ball field and open sections
and teen-agers and some adults
use the tennis courts.
Monday afternoon while
relaxing on our south porch
(just across the street from
South park) we kept hearing the
crack of a bat and thinking the
Little League game was over,
decided to investigate. Here
was what we found; A lean
lanky boy wearing a green hat
was the batter, a smaller boy
wearing blue shorts and a pale
yellow shirt was pitching and a
real short pee-wee wearing a
pink shirt, pale blue shorts and
a bright red cap was the out
fielder. The pitcher was
throwing strikes, the batter was
hitting them and the short
legged outfielder was running
his legs off retrieving the ball.
Once he lost his cap, hesi
tated, then went on for the ball
before securing the cap. While
we watched he never ceased
chasing at his top speed for the
ball.
We called the Missus to bring
the camera but they were both
at the office, so I checked on
their identity. The batter was
Kirk Savage, age 11, the pitcher
was his brother, Randy, age 10,
the children of Don and Pat
Savage. The pee-wee was Mark
Pitts, son of John and Sharon
Pitts, and he was a lusty age
five.

Sirhan Sirhan of Jordan is
accused of killing Kennedy. He’s
in jail in California. But have
they ever found who killed the
groceryman in Chicago, who
was also from Jordan. It got
little publicity but to his family
he was probably as importantas
Senator Kennedy.

THINKING
IN CIRCLES
toward criminals is successful.
Hoover said statistics showed
that robberies dropped 62 per
cent in the first month after
institution of what he called
the “hard policy of carrying
shotguns and utilizing police
dogs” in Negro districts. This
program, Hoover said, was pop
ular with the Negroes them
selves because “their lives and
their businesses are safer.”
‘‘I submit that,” Hoover said,
“as proof of the fact that a
strict policy in the enforcement
of laws works, whereas some of
the theoretical sociological
policies that are advanced and
urged just do not work.”

Traffic deaths and injuries
were down slightly in 1967,
but, according to a spokesman
for The Travelers Insurance
companies, “52,200 deaths and
4,200,000 injuries in one year

Pastor Ondile Jacobson and
Vernon McCain returned
recently from the North Pacific
district convention of the
American Lutheran church in
Tacoma, Wash. The three-day
meeting dealt with each aspect
of the church, including involve
ment in issues of the day.
The summer worship sched
ule for the Faith Lutheran con
gregation is identical worship
services at 8 o’clock Thursday
evenings and 11 a.m. Sundays.
This will continue through
August. Any family in Nyssa
who will be away during the
weekend is cordially invited to
attend the Thursday evening
worship services.
The high school youth group
of Faith Lutheran will go on
a water-skiing party and picnic
at Owyhee reservoir on Sunday
afternoon, June 23. Cars will
leave immediately after the 11
a.m. worship service.
Have recently observed a
number of young ‘bike’ riders
failing to top at posted stop
signs, as well as signal for
turns. Remember kids - by
obeying bicycle-safety rules,
you might save time, hospita
lization or even your lives.
And do slow those two-
wheelers down for corners. Saw
a mishap of that kind lately, too!
Injuries were not serious, but
there were skinned shins and a
tear-streaked face.
Then too, the small fry sorta
has to keep an eye on us older
folks who drive four-wheelers.
Sometimes we let our minds
wander, too
(which we
shouldn’t do when driving.)
And there are always those
who think the posted "slow”
signs are there for the other
fellers.
AND NO ONE - ’CYCLIST
OR MOTORIST - SHOULD
EVER FOLLOW A FIRE TRUCK
OR AMBULANCE, UNLESS TO
ASSIST OFFICIALLY.

sent a beautiful potted ‘mum’
to the Journal office. The sur
prise-gift arrived with a note to
the publishers end staff in
appreciation for publicity
assistance.
We might add, that we had
excellent cooperation for the in

those efforts.
Those ‘bouquets’, physical or
spoken, are sometimes few and
far between. We too, are guilty
of failing to pass them along.

telling about Lawrence Miller’s
three - legged chicken, learned
that no one we asked knew what
ya* called the hard-surfaced
digits on the end of a chicken’s
toes. We called them ‘claws* -
but doubt the correctness since
they were on a domestic fowl
and not on a bird of prey.
Are they toe-nails, talons,
claws or ??? Personally, after
all these years, we just think
of them as being used for
‘scratchin’ - so maybe they’re
‘scratcbers’.

Different people have different money management needs. That’s why First
National offers a choice of checking accounts for favorite customers.*
A* Th« Regular Checking account
is for you if you write a ‘ regular”
number of checks every month.
You pay a nominal fee for the
service and the checks written.
The service charge varies with
the amount of money in your ac
count. And you receive a detailed
statement each month.
You can choose from a color
ful array of checkbook covers to
complement your purse or
pocket. There is a choice of cus
tom-designed checks imprinted
with your name and address.
(Some are free; the fancier ones
at low cost.)
KThe Low Coat Chocking ac
count is just the thing for the stu
dent in the picture—or a house
wife's budget account. It's for you
if you write relatively few checks
per month. You pay only 12* for
each personalized check written.
If you write five checks the cost is
60<. If you write zero checks the
cost is zero.
J**Record-Rite account. With
Record-Rite checks you write a
duplicate as you write the check
itself, by means of a patented
“carbon" copy process. It’s easy,
non-messy, and provides you with
an instant record of each check
you write. Put the copy in your
checkbook and record it in your
check register later, if you wish.
Custom Credit account pro
vides automatic credit through
your checking account. Once on
the custom credit plan, you can
write your own loan. Repayment
is handled through BankAmeri-
card billing.
A* A Save-O-Matic account offers
a system of saving through your
checking account. Each month an
agreed-upon amount is automati
cally transferred from your
checking to your savings ac
count. It's a great way to make a
monthly payment to yourself. No
charge for the service!
And, you can arrange to make
personal loan payments or insur
ance payments automatic
through your checking account.
Again, no charge.
Convenient? Yes. All banks of
fer the convenience of a checking
account. First National offers
convenience and choice. Good
reasons why more Oregonians
have checking accounts with
First National than with any other
bank.
