Small Business Week, 1971 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The American tradition of independent enterprise is as old as our society itself. The freemen who tended little stores, ran coastwise shipping, traded in furs, or made candles helped this tradition put down deep roots early in our history. “What most astonishes me,” wrote de Tocqueville as he took the measure of our young nation in the 1830’s, “is not so much the marvelous grandeur of some undertakings as the innumer able multitude of small ones.” From such beginnings, small business has grown into one of the principal economic forces in this, the world’s greatest industrial nation. Today--its name aslde--small business is BIG. Nineteen United States firms in twenty are small businesses. They do nearly three-fourths of the total volume of sales and one-third of all manufacturing. For the industry and resourcefulness which millions of Americans invest in them as owners and em ployees, they return not only profits but also the rich rewards of self-reliance. They contribute to the wide diversity of our society and our economy, and they offer members of dis advantaged minority groups an open door into full partici pation in the Nation’s prosperity--a door through which black Americans, Spanish-speaking Americans, Indians, and other minority enterprisers are now passing in increasing numbers. But if small business is to realize its full potential in the years ahead, it needs and deserves wholehearted support from citi zens and the business community as a whole, as well as the strong encouragement it already receives from government. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week be ginning May 16, 1971, as Small Business Week. I ask all Americans and their business organizations to join with me during this week in paying tribute to the accomplishments of small business and in helping small business toward continued strength and success. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fifth.

Ar«a Woman Attend LETTER T O EDITOR LDS Workshop Editor, The Journal: Since 1942 Eastern Oregon has been my home and the history of its great acres is an epic saga of rugged pioneering. The struggle against a long established wild habitat should be blazoned on a wall for every “Johnny-come-lately” to read. This fair land was reclaimed by long days of back breaking labor done by men, women and children. There were no con veniences, no abundant foods, no free doctors. Welfare was non-existant. Few families had a well in the yard. As I sat in that ultra-mo dern school room, where the salt of the community were met in an honest effort to bring order out of chaos by nomi nating an elective board to ad minister migrant affairs, all about me was the blood of these same pioneers who had made this earth’s productivity pos sible. The very heart beat of our present security. We are asking what legal au thority holds this consensus of public opinion in contempt? La bel it not legal? Why may we be forced to submit to a juris diction of another state being administered in a third state? Does our constitution support this, or does the whole business smack of the Boston Tea Party? Are we to accept a silent part nership in a movement that has its loud voice? We understand the Federal Government has alloted a goodly sum of money to finance this project. What portion of this will reach our state? Since when has the proud State of Oregon needed baby sitters in an alien state? From what our friends tell us Boise should have its hands full keeping their tax payers smiling. Were we correct in that a “sugar tit” was tendered us - “one may apply for a seat on the board.” This is akin to asking the holder to surrender the goose that lays the golden egg. Federal funds are used on our highways and parks. Can we be sure our state is left to administer them? Think well on these matters. Bessie E. Long Relatives To Visit Fath«r Chas.
