One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Old 8444 Returns Again Treasure Valley echoed to the sounds of the old steam engine last Saturday as many turned out at every depot and crossing from Boise to Weiser to hear the steam whistle and see the smoke billowing from old No. 8444. Nostalgia brought many out, while some of the kids saw a steam locomotive for the first time. The fact that over 600 persons from all over the country made the trip shows the interest in a bygone mode of travel. Perhaps train travel will return some day, especially on the inter-urban and short inter-city runs, like between Portland and Seattle or New York City and Boston. Just last week the new San Francisco Bay inter-urban (BART) finally got part of its system in operation. The advent of the freeway system has almost defeated what it set out to correct in metropolitan areas. Easier access to the city by freeway made areas like Gresham, Tigard and Beaverton outside Portland attractive to many people. So much so, that now the freeways are choked with people trying to get to and from work and parking places are scarce and high priced when they get there. The answer is some form of mass transportation to the city center, and the question is whether people will use it. The BART system will partly answer that question. Fortunately we in eastern Oregon aren’t faced with that problem, but Boise is starting to see the effects of people mi grating to the country. The Meridian area is filling up, and they not only will have the same transportation and parking problems that the bigger cities face, but they will also have water and sewage problems. It’s too bad that these problems aren't faced first, instead of waiting until they are a real problem, and by that time it’s almost too late. We seem to be in a nostalgic age, when all of a sudden the old things are of real interest. This is great as long as private individuals want to undertake the reponsibility of restoring or preserving those things that are of interest to them. It sure isn’t the government’s responsibility. A few weeks ago, Boise people were crying because the old Delamar House was torn down. True, it was a historic old building, but unless its owners could make use of it, there was no commercial value. It certainly was not the responsi bility of some public agency. We looked at the old cars at McCall over the Labor Day weekend. It is hard to imagine that some of them were actrally used for transportation in a quieter and slower day. And yet when we drove our Model A Ford not that many years ago, we went just as many places, and almost as fast, as we do now in our big gas eating cars of today. We hope old Number 8444 will return again some day, and if it does, we will be on the station platform along with the rest of the old-timers, and those not so old-time. It’s kind of nice to hear the sounds, and smell the smells of an era that is long gone.

UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOTES THIS I BELIEVE by Rev. Bob Hutchinson 1 believe in ecumenicisin. Now you may think the type setter got type-happy txit let me tell you what this word means. It means to promote unity of all Christians or to work toward the end that all churches become as one. There are two schools of thought as to how this can be done. Some would say, "Plan a meeting of the leaders of all the churches, have them gather around a common table, settle their differences and then organize a super church to which all Christians would belong. "This has been done, you know, but it has al ways met with failure for each time twoor more denominations have combined those who dis agree have formed other new denominations and we have ended up with more denomina tions than we had before the meeting. I belong to the second school of thought, tlieEcumenl- . bin Of The Holy Spirit I believe the Church of Jesus Christ is already one church t.itli.i tli.in .»It. mptmg I' bring about something which al ready is, I recognize that the church is One In The Spirit and thank God for it.

REVIVAL SLATED N«w Nova Hatchback Coupe Look what we hatched You know us for our little Vega Hatchback Now dependable Nova has one. Which literally makes it half trunk with the backseat down It's a feature as practical as Nova itself. Isn't it romantic? You see that rectangle beaming at you from above? That's a moon roof. Not to be confused with a sunroof. (Although many people will undoubtedly be caught using it like one.) A power roof is available on Chevelle and Monte Carlo; a manual one on Nova. Bumpers are exciting? This year's are something to get New Mai:r. . Colonnade Hardtop Coupe models. Nineteen different models to choose from We’ve been thinking about your legs One of the few things people asked us to improve in our popular Chevelle was leg room in the back seat Well, your knees will be pleased with the ’73s There's almost 31/’ more inches in the sedans. So what else is new Naturally this is only a taste of what's new for '73. Among other things, we're intro ducing larger gas tanks for longer cruising range, a new Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, a hatchback for wagons, and a highly refined flow- through power ventilation system. Plus a reading light for front seat passengers, improved suspen sion systems, engines that give you performance combined with gas economy, reclining seats and scores of dramatic styling changes.
