The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Thursday, January 21, 1971 Economist Says To Shop Ads For Food Items Need help in keeping that food budget in line? If so, here are a few suggestions from Velma Seat, Extension Food Marketing Specialist, Oregon State University. Get the habit of shopping your newspaper’s supermarket ad for all it’s worth, for this is one of the greatest time and moneysavers. Find out what meats, fresh produce, fro zen foods, and staples are on special, then work them into your week’s meals. Before you start out, plan your menus completely enough to guide you in making up a shopping list. Take time to read labels and compare brands, grades and sizes, for here are the keys to many savings. For example, house or regional br ands often cost less than nat ionally advertised brands. Compare the prices of meats and poultry with the number of ■servings you'll get from each pound. A rule of thumb: Figure on four servings from a pound of boneless meat, two servings from a pound with bone in, and just one serving from a very bony cut such as spareribs. Take advantage of the foods that are seasonally plentiful. For instance, PORK is plen tiful and will continue to be featured in the food ads.

McCall A n no u nces Veteran's Counseling Governor Tom McCall today hospital and dental care and announced a statewide program of one-day, one-stopcounseling and information service centers for all veterans, their depen dents and survivors. The first center will be in the Salem Armory Auditorium Thursday, January 28, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Later ones will be held in other population centers of Oregon. The pro grams will be coordinated by the State Department of Vet erans’ Affairs. The governor said many vet erans do not know of the be nefits the State of Oregon and the federal government have pro vided for them and their fami lies, and that these benefits are available only upon application. Purpose of the program, the governor said, is to bring to gether under one roof for an entire day all agencies, both governmental and private, that offer benefits and services to veterans and their families. Governor McCall said 26 agencies and organizations are being asked to supply experts to give information,counseling and take applications for such benefits and services as em ployments, loans, GI education, VA compensation, pensions, The biggest problem faced by the new Oregon Legislature-- and a problem which will di rectly influence all of our de- cisions--is the question of the state’s finances. It would be an understatement to say that Oregon will be facing a grave fiscal crisis in the coming two years. This was stressed eloquently by Gov. Tom McCall in his legislative message two weeks ago. Any other Legislature in the nation would probably handle this problem by increasing taxes to meet the demand of state agencies and departments. However, I feel that this option is not available to the Oregon Legislature. I strongly believe that any type of measure de signed to increase taxes--re- gardless of the amount or the reason—would be soundly de feated by the people of Oregon. This has been demonstrated by recent bond, budget and dis trict election defeats, by the sales tax vote, by the defeat twice during the past 10 years of income tax increase mea sures, and by the one-sided defeat of statewide ballot issues which were interpreted by the voters as revenue-producing measures. Rather than attempt to accuse Oregonians of being stingy or short-sighted, I believe it is incumbent upon the Legislature to recognize why the voter feels the way he does, and to attempt to reflect his viewpoints in our deliberations. Consider the average Ore gonian, if there is indeed such a person. He knows that 37 cents of each dollar he earns goes to pay the cost of govern ment at all levels. He knows that two and one-half hours of each eight-hour work day are contributed to government. Last year, he worked from Jan. 1 to May 9 simply to pay his tax bill. On May 10, he went to work for himself and his fa mily. With this in mind, the Legis ment of Revenue, Oregon Bar lature is faced with the alter Association, State Game Com native of a vigorous budget mission, Motor Vehicles Di cutting program, probably even vision, Oregon National Guard, surpassing our efforts of two Army, Navy, Air Force and years ago when we slashed $75 Marine Corps Reserves, Amer million from proposed state ican Red Cross, veterans’ or budgets.

We must establish a delicate budgetary balance, because we must guarantee that no worth while programs are emascula ted and that no demonstrated needs are ur.met. I feel that the Legislature can meet the needs of the state government without theneedfor additional taxation. In fact, I believe we can do this while at the same time identifying additional state revenues which can be applied to property tax relief and to additional state support for local education. Republicans in the House have already endorsed proposals to freeze property taxes for senior citizens, and to increase state support to local education by $33 million. I am confident that we can accomplish these goals—and perhaps others—within the ex isting revenue structure. This is where our emphasis will be placed during the coming weeks as the Governor’s budget begins its shakedown cruise through the 1971 Legislature.
