Dear Boys in Vietnam, I’m writing this short letter. You might not know me, but much it doesn’t matter. 1 read the newspaper everyday, and for you 1 pray every night. I pray that when you’re in darkness, that God may give you light. When fear hugs you at night, and your hours seem like years; The Lord will comfort you, and wipe away your tears. Enemie’s might be strong and many, and unknown during the day; But God will take care of you, because on my knees for you I pray. - By Victor Martinez, 106 E. 5th Street, Nyssa.

De Leon Tripletts FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH NOTES STANDING UP TO BE COUNTED Early last month when Senator Clifford Hansen got wind of a move in the House to boost Congressional pensions by about a third he declared that he “couldn’t believe that any member of Congress would seriously consider such a proposal when Congress plans a tax increase and drastic reductions in spending in order to cope with rampant inflation.” Unfortunately, the Wyoming Republican’s faith seems to have been misplaced. For members of the House are in fact seriously considering a bill which would give a 12-term member -- a not uncommon tenure — who retires or is defeated for re-election an increase in annual pension from the present $17,100 to $24,000. Indeed, the bill has gone to the floor from the Rules Committee. Who on the committee voted for it? Who against? Chairman William Colmer of Mississippi said there was no record vote but that the bill was approved by "about eight or nine to two.” Now hardly anybody objects to a reasonable annual pension for members of Congress. But the present system, which amounts to about $1,000 for each year of service not only in Congress but in any other Government or military post the legislator has held, seems reasonable enough. A one-third increase hardly represents what Rep. John Dent of Pennsylvania calls “simple justice” for hardworking lawmakers who could do better for themselves in private employment. In any case, the non-record voting arrangement adopted in the Rules Committee is going to be tried in the House, the theory being that if the pension increase should pass by a voice vote the members voting for it would enjoy the anonymity that procedure provides. As Iowa’s outspoken Rep. H. R. Gross puts It: "We are supposed to turn our heads while it passes silently with no record. ...” There is nothing to prevent the House from voting itself an extra bundle of money that way if it wants to. True, it might •well invite another "Bundles for Congress” campaign like the one that brought down on the legislators a shower of old shoes and cast-off clothing when they first voted themselves pensions some years ago, but perhaps the members won’t mind the embarrassment. This is surely the sort of issue though, on which they ought to stand up and be counted. Then the voters, whose taxes are going up and whose pensions, if any, are decreasing the buying power all the time -- can decide if they want to have their represen tatives counted out. EVA P.

For instance: * You pay 18 percent more to get your pants pressed now than in 1960. * The cost of having a baby is up 84.5 percent for hospital room and services and another 27.8 percent for the doctor. * Pork chops (as of April 1, 1968) were up 20 percent over 1960. A pound of processed American cheese has jumped 28 percent and a 6.5 .ounce can of tuna fish is up 3.7 percent. Street shoes are up one-third. * Your housing dollar today is worth only 87 cents, your medical care dollar 60 cents, your transportation dollar 86 cents, your clothing dollar 86 cents, your food dollar only 85 cents. * Movie admissions have risen — 64.2 percent for adults and 75.2 percent for children. * Water and sewer services are up 25.1 percent. * Cigarettes (plaint tip) are up one-third and filter-tips up 27.5 percent. * Bacon per pound is up 23.7 percent over 1960, bread eight percent, and many packaged cereals up at least one-fourth. * Bologna (no matter how you slice it) is up 17.4 percent. Summing up, the Senate Policy Committee said it’s no wonder Americans now spend $400 million every year for headache remedies. Had enough? - Republican Newsletter. WELCOME RODEO FANS • . to. . .
