BUYING U. S. BONDS Mr. Ted M. Brammer, Co Publisher Nyssa Gate City Journal 112 Main Street Nyssa, Oregon 97913 Dear Sir: We noted with interest the editorial pat on the back that you gave the Salem, Arkansas Jay- cees for their flag service pro gram , and we are sending a copy of your editorial to that club in order that they might know that they have a booster in Nyssa, Oregon. You may be interested to know that the flag service pro gram is one offered by local Jaycee organizations through out this nation, and that the Nyssa Jaycees have offered this service to interested business men for a number of years. With a few exceptions, the response among the businessmen of Nyssa has been quite favor able, and it has been a con tinuing source of pride for us and our subscribers that the program has been so well sup ported year in and year out. The Nyssa Jaycees apprec iate your comments regarding another Jaycee chapter, for their good works are a re flection of our own ideals, as pirations and endeavors. If at any time you wish to focus your attention on Jaycee ac tivities in Nyssa or Malheur County, we would be pleased to furnish you with whatever information you desire. - Very truly yours, Alvin Allen, Pres ident. The Wall Street Journal recently mentioned a discussion by V. Presidential candidate Spiro Agnew drawing the criticism of the Treasury Secretary. The Republican candidate called attention to the purchase of a $100 U. S. Savings Bond (costing $75.00) which, if the current rate of inflation continued through maturity of the bond, would be worth only $62.50 based on current values. Secretary Fowler said, “Maligning U. S. bonds is a disservice to the country.” This ceases to be a matter of patriotism we think, and if the government debentures go down that much in value a great share of it can be placed upon the Federal government who has done so much to live beyond current income. There is a very nice appearing man in the Portland office of the Treasury who calls on us about once each year and asks us to carry ads for the Treasury advising people to buy bonds. We have refused and given him these reasons why we will not: (1) - It has appeared to us that other investments would bring a higher interest return - thus, if this is true we would not want to influence anyone to buy bonds; (2) - The government has money to pay this man’s salary but none to pay for the advertising he asks to run free; (3) - And, what we consider the most ironical of all, the P. O. department says these are ads if we run them and charges the newspaper the same rate as that portion of the paper carrying local retailers’ ads (upon which a higher rate is charged than on news). So — if you never see any ads advising purchase of U.S. bonds in this paper you'll know why. And, this in spite of the fact that it MIGRANT MINISTERS takes money to support fighting men.
