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.

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.

THE DOLLAR’S PLIGHT ÎÏÏÂS '
What eight years of Democratic rule has done to your dollar
you wouldn’t have believed back in 1960 when the so-called
"party of the people” was promising to "get the country moving
again.”
The precise direction the Democrats meant becomes clear in
an analysis by the Senate Republican Policy Committee which
shows that prices in general have gone up 15.1 percent in the
past eight years. 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.
