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.

OLEN THOMPSON
Mrs.
Olen (Alma
Day)
Thompson of Alamosa, Colo.,
was notified Sunday evening,
July 27, 1969, that her hus
band, 57, had succumbed that
day after suffering a heart at
tack.
She had arrived in this area

Henry Day family, and left by
plane early Monday to return
to Colorado.
In addition to Mrs. Thomp
son, the deceased is survived
by one son, Kenneth; four daugh
ters, Sharon, Dee, Betty and
Carol. Three grandchildren
also survive. A son, Donald,
was killed in February 1968 in
Vietnam.
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.
