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
