Rules For Making Friends
One of the nice things about a newspaper office is the variety
of nice people who drop in, say hello, leave a news item,
place an ad, or just pass the time of day.
Ole Drylund, a young 82 years old, frequently drops by with
a little joke, a story, or some humerous little item which cheers
up the whole cYew.
He gave us his Rules for Making and Keeping Friends, and
we pass them on to you. They are pretty good rules, and it is
evident that Ole lives by them. They read as follows:
Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word
of greeting.
Smile at folks. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.
Call people by name. The sweetest music to anyone’s ear
is the sound of his own name.
Be friendly and helpful. If you would have friends, be friendly.
Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do was a
genuine pleasure.
Be genuinely interested in people. You can like everyone
if you try.
Be generous with praise - cautious with criticism.
Be thoughtful of the opinions of others. There are three
sides to a controversy - yours, the other fellow’s and the right
one.
Be alert to give service. What counts most in life is what you
do for others.

How do I know that my youth has been spent?
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.

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.

Of all the places my "get up” has been.
Since I’ve retired from life’s competition
I busy myself with complete repetition;
1 get up each morn and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits;
If my name is missing, I know I’m not dead
So I eat my breakfast and go back to bed.

ULLMAN SPONSORS WORK LEGISLATION
Congressman Al Ullman today
joined in co-sponsoring new
legislation that would authorize
nearly one billion dollars more
annually for special federal
public works assistance to
help areas with high unemploy
ment problems.
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

U.S. Air Force personnel. The lieutenant, a 1964 graduate of

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.
