One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Democrats Adopt Platform Did you see the party platform that the Oregon Democratic Party came up with as a result of their three-day convention in Klamath Falls last week? They voted to legalize prostitution; repeal all sexual mis conduct laws; legalize marijuana; give amnesty and commen dation to draft dodgers; increase income taxes and corporate taxes; gain broader women’s rights; give teachers the right to picket and strike; and provide a minimum wage for prisoners. Did we read this thing wrong, or are we so hopelessly out of tune with the times that we just aren’t with it anymore? There isn’t any part of this so-called platform that responsible citizens of either party could embrace, and we have talked to several Democrats who feel the way we do. Admittedly pretty conservative, we would bet that there are not five percent of the residents of Eastern Oregon who could stomach this thing at all. We have always believed in party responsibility. We be lieve that Oregon law which requires a voter to identify him self, and then go to the polls at the primary election and pick the best person for the job to represent his party is a good law. Each party is responsible for picking the best man in the pri mary, and then In the general election may the best man win. Already we are in trouble with the women’s lib and the equal rights people, because we have been identifying the voter in the masculine, when we really mean he, she or it. Incidentally, among other things, the demos propose equal rights for homos. Who is a homo unless it identifies itself as a homo? We have always thought a person’s sexual life was a personal thing not to be broadcast around. Anyway, getting back to politics, we have never voted a straight party ticket in a general election. However, if any Democrats want a vote from this end of the state I would guess they would have to be pretty forthright on where they stand in regard to their party platform, and who they associate with. Let’s get back to some of these planks in their party plat form. Obviously there were few fathers drafting these issues, because if all sexual misconduct laws were repealed, no child, or daughter, or wife wouldbe safe anywhere. And how would they like a pusher selling their son or daughter a marijuana cigarette? How about amnesty to draft dodgers? According to the press report this was accompanied by a commendation for “their courageous and moral action" The Democrats did pass an amendment expressing their appreciation to all who have en listed or been drafted into the service, which was pretty big of them. They want to increase income taxes and corporate taxes in Oregon. They should come over to this Snake River country and see on which side of the river industry is locating. One thing we agree on. They want a ban on putting children under six to work. We haven’t hired a child under six for a long time. How about giving teachers the right topicket and strike? The law requires children to attend school, but they might not have a teacher in their classroom. Let’s do away with compulsory education while we’re at it. The whole thing sounds so ridiculous on the face of it, that it defies the imagination. Maybe somebody will set us straight, and in the meantime we will look with interest at the comments which we expect will be forthcoming shortly from political candidates of both parties. We also look forward to the Republican party platform, but they will have a hard time topping the Democrats.

WELL’S & DAVIES PLANT TO OPEN The Wells and Davies meat packing plant in Payette, closed since last fall, will reopen under new ownership about the mid dle of April, it was learned this week. HOLDS OPEN HOUSE An "Open House" for public inspection was held last Tues day evening at the attractive and spacious new Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Payette. The struc ture was built and furnished at a cost of $400,000. According to Bishop A. E. Borghclthaus, it was the first public showing ofthe new struc ture since its completion in January of this year. Difficulty in acquiring some of the fur nishings for the building oc casioned the delay. Dedication services will be held, probably this fall, after the final payment on the building.

Brady I L THE PAST 10 YEARS AGO Farmers dependent upon irri gation water from Owyhee re servoir, no longer have worries about an adequate supply for this year’s crop needs, according to Paul House, manager of North Board of Control. House said the North and South Boards met jointly Mon day night and established an al lotment of four acre feet for the season. This, he said was adequate for all crops grown in the area. He said, however, storage was still low and “no excess water would be sold under present conditions." * * * Mrs. Ida Ward will be hono red on her 95th birthday an niversary this afternoon with an open house reception at the home of her son-in-law and dau ghter, Mr. and Mrs. William Coleman of Nyssa.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Wilson, and a sixth grade stu dent in Mrs. Mary Hatt’s room. $674,000 appropriation for the Vale project dam on the North Fork was eliminated. Effort is being made to have this item restored in view of the fact that it would be more costly to delay a year than complete the project at once. • * * Tuesday night was a nice night for strolling. Girls found it so and likewise did “Bobby" the tame wildcat owned by Henry McNee. Bobby cut his rope on a barbed wire fence and loi tered to town, causing no little excitement among the dogs of the village. Dogs were making a rumpus near the Kozy Cafe so McNee took that direction in looking for his pet. When called Bobby replied with a grumble and came to his master. Bobby then had the honor of riding home in Mar shall Art Cook’s car. It isn’t the first time Bob by strayed. McNee says he would harm no one unless mo lested. He advises against pet ting him, however. 50 YEARS AGO Nyssa School Items - The freshmen Domestic Science 20 YEARS AGO girls are serving a luncheon Danger of an immediate flood to the Commercial Club Wed of the Owyhee River and pos nesday night in which they will sible damage to a bridge on feature home products, such as the Nyssa-Adrian highway les baked potatoes, prunes, etc. sened Wednesday after two cool They expect to serve about sixty nights held back melting snow. guests at a cost of 40 cents Warm weather and showers a plate. tery. * * * earlier in the week at the upper He was born November 4, Don’t miss the Romance Hun water shed caused an unexpec ters April 19.
