RELIEF OR A SHIFT? We have been deluged with information on the Three Percent Sales tax proposal to be voted upon by the electorate June 3. The Pro element makes a good case for their belief until one has read the other side. The Cons make a good case until one reads the other side. But after reading and studying both sides, with what we have tried to call an open mind, we have concluded that a sales tax will be detrimental to more people than those it would aid. And that it will be detrimental to those who can least afford to pay more taxes. In this manner it is a Shift and not a Relief. In trying to analyze the proposition we applied it to ourselves and could see little difference total tax we would pay now or with the sales tax. But we can see that it could be quite an item to businesses along the Idaho border of Eastern Oregon. We predict, should it pass, that it will soon just be another additional tax and fail to give any class of citizen lasting relief. That has been the history of it in many states having it for a few years. It is our belief that it will fail by quite a margin and personally shall vote against it. We urge every one to study the proposal diligently before June 3 and then go vote one way or the other. Dear Sir: New Plymouth’s Alpha Nu chapter of Beta Sigma Phi wishes to extend its sincere thanks to all those who helped make our Benefit talent show such a success. We are so grateful to the businessmen who contributed to our fund raising project, to the performers who provided the excellent enter tainment, and to your news paper staff tor the publicity our project received. These children are very special to us and your support was certainly appreciated. Sincerely, Connie Sorensen Alpha Nu Secretary I do not think anyone other than property owners, should be permitted to vote on expendi tures of tax money, otherwise, it is like pickpocketing and getting by with it. 1 am tired of having my pockets picked, aren’t you? It is high time for property own ers and taxpayers of the Nation to awaken. The less a dollar is worth, the more it should be watched. Was Hamburger Hill worth the cost? Walter Burdette Nyssa, Ore. Rt. 2 Journal Editor: The Nyssa PTA would like to thank the Nyssa Gate City Journal for the coverage and support you have given to us this year. We’d also like to publicly thank Mr. W. Me Partland, Mr. Chester, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Poor for their loyal suppart. To the teachers who sup ported us we’d like to thank you and tell you that you were noticed and appreciated for being there. To the parents I’d like to thank those who came for giving us a chance to help inform them on community interests. We tried to give programs that was or should have been of interest to everyone in this community. I would like to challenge more parents to become interested and concerned and to become involved next year. PTA is for parents who are interested in children, rich children, poor children, good children, bad children and average children. Surely we have more than 188 parents (PTA membership this year) in our community who care enough about their child ren, about their community and about their schools to come and take part in their PTA. I’d like to thank the Com munity for giving me the op portunity for two years to be PTA President. I can truly say I was prqud to serve. - Thank you. Sincerely, Colleen Froerer. Before I was married my work was on the farm with enough hard work to make even a young person tired. When the weather prevented work it was good Jo rest aching bones and muscles. There was no time for loafing or trouble making and too much sweating for longhair and beard to be comfortable, only law violators objected to law and the police were respect ed. Also, older people, parents and teachers were honored, they instructed the minors and they obeyed. I walked, rode a horse and bicycle to school (not in a bus or dad’s car) and had chores to do before and after school. I went to College in 1920 and 1921. My father (not the Govern A SOLDIER AND HIS GOD ment) paid the tuition and paid for my books.

Protect seed alfalfa with Cygon ...kills lygus, aphids, leafhoppers, grasshoppers Located 1 1/2 miles west of Cairo Junction on Vale highway. Telephone 889-5780 Cygon” 267 Systemic Insecticide is more effective than other compounds because it kills by both contact and systemic action. It gives high initial kill, then continues as a sys temic protector—working from within the plant to iesist ’’weathering " that often shortens the effective life of other materials. Cygon is economical, too. Because it has long-lasting activity and is used at low rates, a little goes a long way. Cygon is also a low- hazard material—and when used according to directions, there are no residue problems. For further information, contact your local insecticide supplier.
