Because my "get up and go” got up and went. But in spite of all that, I’m able to grin When 1 think where “my get up and go” has been. Old age is golden, I’ve heard it said; But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed; My ear’s in the drawer, my teeth in the cup. My eyes on the table until I wake up. ■ I I I Ere sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself “Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?” But I’m happy to say as I close the door My friends are the same as in days of yore.

The bill, HR 18502, amends the Public Works Acceleration Act to pump 950 million dol­ lars a year in new federal funds to eligible areas where unemployment in recent months has been running two and one- half times above the national average. Eligible areas include designated economic develop­ ment areas, major labor market areas and sections of cities and states with nigh unemployment that are especially designated by the Department of Labor. To tie eligible now, an area must have reached an average unemployment rate of 8.75% in 1969. Federal contributions to each project would be raised to 80r< of total cost under the bill. Ullman said, “Expansion of the federal government's spe­ cial Public Works Program of­ fers a real answer to the grow­ ing unemployment problem in Oregon. Many communities in the State would soon be eligible under the bill if the strong up­ ward trend in unemployment continues through to the end of the year." Second Lieutenant Wayne D. Riggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Riggs of 521 N. Sixth St..Nyssa, has been awarded U.S. Air Force silver pilot wings upon graduation at Reese AFB, Tex. Riggs is remaining at Reese as Pilot Instructor in the T-38 Talon jet trainer aircraft with the Air Training Command which provides flying, technical and basic military training for NYSSA FLYER U.S. Air Force personnel. The lieutenant, a 1964 graduate of AWARDED MEDAL Nyssa High School, received a B.S. degree from Oregon State University and was commissioned there through the FOR HEROISM Reserve Officers Training Corps program. His wife, Barbara, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Gross of 1697 S.E. Sixth Capt. Gary L. Thomson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Thom­ Ave., West Linn. son of Nyssa, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, for action December 26, 1969. The citation reads as follows; For herosim while participa­ ting in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam, Captain Thomson distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous action on December 26, 1969, while serving in the Republic of Viet­ nam. When his helicopter came under fire Capt. Thomson marked the area with smoke and returnedfire. Realizingthat the pilot had been hit, he took control of the aircraft and evaded the area. His outstan­ ding flying ability and devotion to duty is in keeping with the highest traditions of the mili­ tary service, and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
