June 14, 1969 Dear Editor: The Senior Citizen’s con ference on the aging, convened in the 4-H building at the State fairgrounds in Salem May 23 and 24. W.D. (Brownie) Brown was the attending delegate re presenting the Nyssa Senior Citizens. The two-day program was both educational and recrea tional, consisting of tours of the Capitol building and all points of interest in and about the city. Cars were provided for all transportation, with the drivers acting as host. Pri vate homes were given the visiting delegates and all ho tels wore a welcome atmos- phere. The beautiful Marion hotel was headquarters and the entire city actuated warmth and friendliness. Dr. Ken Miller, Mayor of Salem, opened the Friday ses sion, followed by speakers from Washington, D. C. and San Fran cisco. Clay Myers, secretary of the state of Oregon, gave an excellent talk. There were work shops on green thumb pro jects, food and nutrition, health and education, crafts, the generation gap, and a banquet in the evening, followed with dancing. Saturday was filled with busi- - ness and reports from the various Senior Citizen organ!- zations. These reports could give a new understanding of the scope involved by these groups in their communities. There were citations of par ticipation much needed in Nys sa. All definitely showing our elderly are useful in commun ity service. Dr. John E. Long was elected at the conference as delegate in 1970, represen ting the Nyssa unit. With similar town support, as was shown in these re ports, Nyssa Senior Citizens are envisioning a future head quarters of their own, where they may carry on these same services. — The Nyssa Senior Citizens. „ June 12, 1969 Editor: There are still a few ques tions to be asked which Presi dent Skinner and the TVCC board have not answered. Also there are many demands that have been made by the public concerning the college condi tions. We wish to set forth some of these questions and demands: 1. Why is Mr. Fowler still both the accountant and auditor for TVCC? Why wasn’t a dif ferent auditor hired to make the yet unfinished 1967-68 audit when Mr. Fowler was tempor- arily indisposed? 2. Why is the present college lawyer a former mem ber of the college board? 3. Would you please present your proof that the so-called “right-wingers” and the Mor mon Church are trying to dis rupt the college? 4. Is there dope traffic in TVCC? If so, is it true that some college teachers are in volved in this dope problem? 5. Is there a subversive group operating within the col lege? Is this subversive group counseling our young men to avoid the draft? 6. Retain the P. E. pro gram; but dispose of the athletic program on the campus. 7. Dispose of the $600,000 OEO program in TVCC. The taxpayers are financing TVCC as a community college not a federal one. Let it serve our LOCAL students. 8. We are demanding the immediate resignation of the following administrators: Pre sident Skinner, Otis Murray, Don Ridener, Ed Haynes and Dick DeBisschop. We have been advised that the present situation at TVCC must be corrected NOW or be prepared to accept the continu ance of the present inefficiency. Respectfully, . The League of Oregon Parents Local Chapter Box 462 By Alda M. Jacoby, Pres. June 5, 1969 Gentlemen: Sincere thanks for your won derful support for our recent, successful educational and fund raising April crusade. Your free public service en ables us to reach many more Oregonians with life saving in formation than we could ever reach on our own. Our three-phase program of public and professional educa tion, research and patient and community service is making headway. In the early 1930’s fewer than one in five was being saved - that is, alive five years after first being treated. Since 1956 the ratio has de creased to one in three. This could be one in two if everyone went to his doctor in time. That is why it is so vital for all persons to be alert to can cer’s seven warning signals and have an annual checkup. With your continued support we will reach that one in two. The other victim still needs Qg/rU4/?/£S MRS.
