Nyssa To Honor AFS Students Kidney Association Of Oregon Needs Support Charles V. Elliott, Portland attorney, has been re-elected president of the Kidney Asso ciation of Oregon for 1971. The election took place at the annual meeting of the association in Portland. Elliott stated that, "KAO is dedicated to continue the treat ment of its present 20 patients around the state who are victims of kidney failure, and we will also provide financial support for as many new Oregon kidney failure patients during 1971 as our funds will permit. As a result of our campaign to raise $150,000 statewide, the public has been extremely generous. To date,” he stated, "we have received more than $55,000 in public contributions. This means we must obtain an addi- tional $95,000 in order to con- tinue our life-savingprogram.’’ "Individuals and organi zations,” he explained, “who wish to help the fund drive are asked to send their tax deduc tible contributions for Malheur County to Post Office box num ber 151 in Ontario. It costs approximately $10,- 000 for the first six months of training, equipment and take- home supplies for each new KAO kidney patient. The annual cost of maintaining the life of a patient thereafter is about $4,000. Since most kidney failure vic tims cannot afford the extremely high costs involved, the fuction of the Kidney Association of Oregon is to raise the money necessary so patients can work, raise families and be useful people Ellen Jones Returns From Denver Trip Kingman Kolony Featured in the Nyssa Gate City Journal this week are BY DALE WITT three additional American Field Service students who will PHONE 372-2183 be visiting Nyssa and staying with families of high school students February 17-20.

There were six old members present and four new members joined. We called the meeting to order and held an election of officers. They are Stella Loera, presi dent; Terry Young, vice presi dent; Lori Saito, secretary; Mi riam Kunkel, reporter; Gail Hirdi, treasurer; Kathryn Shell, game and song leader. We attended the 4-H officers training Feb. 13. We examined several types of fabrics to de termine if the material would be suitable for 4-H project work. Lori Saito gave a demonstration on relaxing fabric. Electric Heat is catching It s catching on everywhere. Because it s so clean and comfortable Because it s so quiet and free of care.

It’s entitled: "All I Know About Politics,” by John D. Burns. With the exception of an unintelligible "forward” — scribbled by one of four small Burns children, the pages are blank. There are people in Salem this session who take the contents at face value. Others tend to believe the book was printed with invisible ink. But brief ex posure to the 34-year-old who flew in the face of his party makes one wonder if John Burns is thinking of rewriting the traditional political concept. For emphasis the glib ex prosecutor lapses grammati cally and declares flatly: "I ain’t runnin’ for nothin’!” He isn’t apologizing for bolt ing the Democrat causes and ascending to Senate Presidency on votes of 14 Republicans, him self and Coalition Demo E.D. (Debbs) Potts. "I made an intellectual deci sion,” he said. "I think the Senate was relieved. Every one’s settling down to work.” And when it comes to work, President Burns sets an effec tive example. "We’re here,” he said, "to solve legislative issues.” He doesn’t believe the Legis lature has responded adequately to its chaltatge during the one special and two regular sessions he’s served. "We’ve got to do something in 1971”, he said. If the occupant of what many consider the state’s second most influential office has his way, here are some things the 56th Legislative Assembly will do: Provide "substantial” in creases in basic school support, and, the companion provision --property tax relief. Despite determination to avoid overt alliance with spe cific causes, John Burns is particularly concerned with welfare and children. A law maker who takes his job as seriously in the interim as fu- thering the session, Burns was appalled by experience on the Welfare Subcommittee of Ways and Means in 1969. Recalling the tedium and di ligence with which the com mittee pursued its task, Burns was exceptionally upset to learn of Welfare’s projected $ 19 mil lion deficit a month after ad journment. "Perhaps we should remove Welfare from impact of the General Fund and politics,” he said. “Maybe the way is to establish an outside corporation -- similar to the national bu- reau in Health, Education and Welfare.” It could be “sold,” he be- lieves, because his bureau would operate with all the fiscal re sponsibility of a private busi ness. Because of his age, legal work with juveniles, four offspring and legislative experience — John Burns is absorbed with solving problems of youth. He gives the Generation Gap credence and calls it a symptom of parental dismay at govern- mnt’s inablility to ease the mounting tax burden and re spond to people’s needs. He claims he’s not an angry young man. But he’s quick with disgust for any legislative peer whose actions smack of per sonal aggrandizement. He claims he’s not impatient. But he works day and night to get the Senate show on the road and is admittely niggardly when by Ellen Jones It will be a sad day in south ern Idaho and eastern Oregon by Jack Zimmerman if the Union Pacific really does it comes to granting fellow Se discontinue the passenger train nators "excuse” to take time service after May 1.
