A RELATIVE TERM Poverty is a relative term. What one person calls poverty, another would consider abundance. U. S. Representative Olin E. Teague of Texas calls attention to some interesting figures. A survey of one of the poorest regions of the U.S., where 8 out of 10 families live on less than $3,000 a year, showed that 37 percent owned washing machines, 48 percent owned cars, and 52 percent had television sets. Representative Teague points out that a major portion of the so-called poverty-stricken class of America enjoys fruits of affluence which the middle classes of Europe cannot afford -- not to mention the rest of the world. He believes, ‘‘The core of the poverty problem often is psychological, not physical. We should be fighting human attitudes that cause poverty . . . We should replace the ethics of slavery — the brazen demands that ‘somebody do something’ and the slogans that ‘the govern ment owes it to us’ — with the ethics of self - reliance.” Money alone will not teach people that a balanced diet is more important than a shiny new car. Points made by Representative Teague are well taken. They harken back to the fate of the ‘‘poverty - stricken” Indian tribes of long ago who sank into oblivion, not from poverty, but from the misuse of the tools and luxuries of the white man.

The Nyssa Conservative Baptist church moved its pas tor to the newly purchasedpar- sonage at 718 King Ave. Most of the move was accomplished on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Pastor Arthur Coats stated that the church office will be lo cated in the parsonage. The phone number will continue to be 372-3651 as listed in the yellow pages of the phone book. The Coats family indicated that they are happy to be lo cated in a home large enough to accomodate them. They ar rived in Nyssa in the middle of June when Pastor Coats ac cepted a call from the Con servative Baptist church to be its minister. They had rented a house on N. 7th and Locust Ave. for themporary quarters. Pastor Coats said that they will plan an open house as soon as they are settled but that visitors are welcome at any time. LOOKING FOR Strikes continue their uptrend, 47 million mandays being lost in 1968 - or 12 per cent more than in 1967. Furthermore, the price of settling or avoiding strikes was often a sharp increase in unit labor costs. The wages and salaries paid by private industry were 9.5 per cent higher overall in 1968 than in 1967, and average hourly earnings rose 7.4 per cent. Major collective-bargaining settlements produced an average first-year rise of 7.5per cent, compared with 5.6 per cent in 1967 and 4.8 per cent in 1966. At the same time, productivity in the private economy, as estimated by the Council of Economic Advisers, rose only 3.3 per cent - about inline with the postwar average. The result: since wage increases exceeded productivity gains, unit costs rose 3.9 per cent. According to the economic letter of the First National City Bank of New York, this was only partly offset by increased prices. It is high time that labor leaders acknowledge the economic facts of life - gains in productivity must balance wage gains if the inflationary spiral is to be smothered.

It takes about 1,300 gallons of water each day to produce the average person’s food and fiber. That, says the Agri- Business Council, is how important water is to both farmers and consumers. Oregon farmers use over 1.66 trillion gallons of water each year for irrigation, while Oregon consumers utilize 97.9 million gallons for drinking, cooking, bathing and watering the lawn. Despite the fact that the average farmer uses 819 times as much water as the average consumer, only 32 percent of Oregon’s cropland is under irrigation.
