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.

LETTERS
TO
THE EDITOR
Editor, The Journal:
We just received our Gate
City Journal and want to add
our comments to Ray Larson’s
letter to the editor on ‘sports
manship’. 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.
Sincerely,
Dick and Bobbie Miller

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

oranges south of the U.S. are

(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.
