One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Electricity Is For People There is something awe-inspiring about a big electric gene rating plant like those Idaho Power Company operates. Its massive turbines create power on a scale that is almost im possible to comprehend. Electricity to meet the needs of many huge factories and of entire cities is sent out through its trans mission lines. Somehow, when we settle down in our favorite easy chair in the comfort of automatic heat to watch television with a soft drink in our hands, it’s hard to relate to the massive struc ture and the enormous turbines which create the power that makes it all possible. They are so monumentally impersonal. It’s hard to keep in mind that, in effect, out of the great power plants come the entertainment, the comfortable room, and the cold drink. And, most likely, the income that pays for it all can be traced to an occupation dependent on electrical service. Because of the magnitude, it’s difficult to appreciate that the services of the sprawling electrical industry, in all of its aspects of power generation, manufacturing, construction and research is, indeed, a personal service--strictly for people. Each year, the industry observes National Electrical Week at the time of Thomas Alva Edison’s birthday, February 11. This year the slogan for the Week, February 6-12, is “Electricity Is For People.” It is a simple statement that is meant to remind the members of the industry, and the millions it serves, that in spite of the many problems of our day, everyone has a stake in electricity. In a most personal way, electricity powers life as we know and enjoy it. Coyote Medicine . Thursday, February 10, 1972 The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton said several weeks ago that he intends soon to send Congress legislation that will end his department’s controversial program of killing pre dators by poisoning. Locally, the program has ramification in the use of the poison 1080 in meat to destroy coyotes. Apparently, Morton’s fear of environmentalists at the na tional level (the same groups that once threatened to fight to the death when he was nominated) is not in keeping with the views of his field men. At a recent meeting in Pendleton, Bill Nelson of Portland, head of Interior’s predator control program in Oregon, said flatly that coyote numbers have increased steadily since 1955 and are still going up. An Oregon Game Commission official told the Legislative Interim Committee on Natural Resources in Salem Thursday that there is “strong evidence" that predators, particularly coyotes, are responsible for much of the decline in mule deer numbers in Oregon. When all of this testimony is added to that of local cattle men who report losses of calves and sometimes cows to coyote attacks, it becomes increasingly clear that Interior Secretary Morton ought to taki some more careful sounding at the grass roots before he embarks the federal government on a poten tially dangerous course. There may tie an alternative to 1080, but it apparently isn’t here yet. In neighboring Morrow County recently, scientists offered a human birth-control compound to coyotes in suet, but the experiment didn’t work. Secretary Morton would be better advised to spur scientific development of alternatives before he leaves stockmen and wildlife interests at the mercy of predators. —John Dav Blue Mountain Eagle. Christian Church Burns Mortgage Members ami Friends Rejoice Feasting on the Word of God, good food, Christian fellowship and much rejoicing were the order of the day, Sunday, Feb ruary 6 at theChristianChurch. The day began at the usual tune 9:45 a.m. as every one as sembled for the Sunday School hour, this is a time when each age group finds their way to the properelass room where the Bible is opened and a diligent searching of the Scriptures be gin. We are convinced that more time spent in this wonderful Book would remove the clouds of misunderstanding and false- hood that hangs over the world today, and would bring nvn and nations to the foot of the cross where there is sufficient grace and love to cover and cleanse every sinner, "Faith com?th by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."

We turned on the radio last week with mixed emo tions, we felt we should be chee ring for Wahtonka since our son is a student there, but at the same time hating to see Nyssa lose their first game of the season. We know it must have been hard to lose that Kame as we have sat through many games there ourselves and also at times were not good sports, but hearing all the boos and noises coming from the fans, made us so ashamed. We have been very proud to tell people here that we are from Nyssa, this week we have not marie that state- ment. Please fans, enjoy the games but think twice before you boo, you never know how far your voices might be heard.

Farter's O.K. Tire Store—Nvssa A Jackson Family Visits With AFS In Panama Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Jackson and their family just returned from Panama where they were able to spend three days filled to the brim by their lovely hos tess and family, Vielka de la Cruz. Vielka had been a fo reign exchange student last year to the UnitedStates in Fort Brag, California. She was among the students stopping in Nyssa dur ing the summer on their way home. The Jackson family was privileged to have her as their house guest during the three days the students were here. Since that time, she has been corresponding with the Jack- sons making plans for their visit. The day the Jacksons arrived in Panama City they were com pletely lost, streets aren’t marked, except in the Canal Zone-and they had several errands to run. Vielka, her sister. Luz (who had attended a university in Pennsylvania for two years) and a friend of the family, Vete (who spoke less English than the Americans did Spanish), met them at noon, and from then on it was fun. They had the errands done in no time, and that evening, Mr. and Mrs. de la Cruz. Luz, Vielka and Vete came out to the trailer park in two cars after the Jack- sons. The first stop was at their lovely homo where they m?t a brother, Hector, 20. and a dear grandmother. Another brother is studying medicine in Spain. Hector and his mother spoke no English, but the father has worked as a carpenter in the Canal Zone for 29 years and understands everything. He prefers to speak in Spanish and have the girls translate, but he spoke English well. The whole family were so gracious and well mannered. Their home had solid oak mo dern furniture and floors that looked like squares of marble. In their garden they grow ba nanas. cocoanuts, oranges (all oranges south of the U.S. are green skinned), limes, grendia She is survied by a daughter.

(fruit) and gorgeous flowers. One was called bouquette de novia-a cluster of tiny flowers on one stem like a bouquet. That evening they all toured Panama by night, andwith Vielka as a guide, all day the next day was spent seeing old Panama, the Miraflores locks, and the city of Panama. The following evening, the Jackson six were invited to a special dinner in the de la Cruz home, featuring typical Panamaian food. After dinner, Vielka had a party to honor her guests. Former AFS students through the past five years came, They are a close knit group, and get together often. The students had all been to the U. S., with most in the Pennsylvania area. They each went out of their way to spend time individually with the guests, and made them feel so welcome and wanted. The former students speak English well, are most polite, happy and full of energy. They are rightfully proud of their country, and prefer dancing to their folk music, instead of the modern music. Their national dance is called the tamborita, and they made each one of the guests try their dance. The kids sing a lot while dancing. They were all very complir mentarv of the U. S., and most anxious to have the guestsenjoy Panama as well. Veilka said her family is very concerned about the creep ing Communism in their coun try. and also worried about the management of the locks when the treaty with the U. S, expires. She feels the Pana- maians cannot run the locks themselves. AFS has certainly accompr lished its goal in Panama with the good understanding lietween the two countries.
