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?

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.

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. Before using any pesticide,
stop and read the label.
