One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Post Election Observations After all the events that led up to the election last week, and aftermath, it seems hard to drop it without at least its an ’’amen,’’ or “so be it.’’ Some are still crying the blues, but most people acknowledge that the voters had their say in the only way that really counts, and we will abide by that decision. President Nixon got his landslide victory, but it was tempered somewhat by the continuance of a Democratic House and Senate. Most voters thought that he has been a working president, who has done all he can to lead us out of an unpopular war, through a difficult inflationary period, and into a new era of at least being able to talk with the other major world powers. Richard Nixon seems to be a controversial figure, and always has been. Some like him very much, but those that don’t seem to hate him with a vengeance that seems almost abnormal. Particularly the very young, who somehow have been led to believe that he is a wicked man. With these people, you don’t debate the issues but the man, the personality. Actually, Richard Nixon has been in high public office longer than any man in recent history. He was a Congressman, a U. S. Senator, Vice President of the United States for eight years, and now soon to start his second term as President of the United States. He took his lumps too, narrowly losing the presidency to John Kennedy in 1960. and then his loss to Pat Brown for the governorship of California just ten years ago. That he has been able to come back from political defeat to one of the most smashing victories in history speaks well for Richard Nixon. I for one am mighty proud to honor him as my president for the next four years, and 1 guess 61% of the rest of us who voted are also. Surely those who voted for someone else will acknowledge this, as we always have. 1 predict that years from now, historians will say that Richard Nixon was one of the great presidents of all time. He will certainly go down in history as one of the great states man presidents. Last summer when the rest of us were going camping, or taking life easy, Richard Nixon was traveling to Peking and Moscow to start making this a better world. He apparently right now is at the point of ending this ill-fated war and making this a more peaceful world. And I predict that the next four years may very well be the start of the best years this nation has ever seen, under his leadership. I also respect the vice president, Spiro Agnew. He is an excellent speaker, forthright, and tells it like it is. He has made a good running mate for the president, and has con ducted himself in such a manner that it is quite likely he will be running for the presidency in his own right four years from now, I think this nation is in good hands. Oregon’s Congressional delegation was all re-elected. Across the river, Congressman Jim McClure from Payette won a great victory to replace Senator Lenjordan, who is retiring. Caldwell’s Steve Symms also won in a somewhat unexpected victory, and it shows once again that people from Idaho and Eastern Oregon are conservative in their thinking. Perhaps this election will help get the nation back on a more conservative track, where track, where we can once again live within our incomes. SUPERMTENDENT'S CORNER By W.L.

For several weeks now 1 have been speaking in mv pul pit on renewal. 1 wrote of this recently in this i Innin. 1 believe in renewal. Renewal first occurred amongst the young people. In the Jesus Revolution I told you that the student revolution came face to face with Jesus Christ and when it did the Jesus Revolution was on it’s way. When the Jesus Revolution began renewal came to our nation’schurchesthrough her young people. The Church of Jesus Christ had done a very good job of keeping Jesus hidden from view. We hid him in our formal worship. We hid Him in our dry hymnology. We hid Him in our theological discussions. We hid Him be hind our social action, our do- goodism. We hadn't talked about Him. We hadn’t preached about Him. We hadn't sung about Him We acted as if He didn't exist any longer and never tiad existed, But the young people scaled over these walls we had erected around JesusChnstand when they saw Him, they fell in love with Him They wanted Him more than all the world, They began to talk about Him. They told the rest of the world that He was what the world needs now, that He is tlu ’Bridge Over Troubled Waters’ and that He is The One Way to peace and happiness. The Renewal which their new faith in Jesus Christ has brought to our churches has caused people to search for a new relationship with Jesus Christ. It has caused them to want to know God in a personal way. It has caused them to begin to want to think like God thinks and to desire to carry the story of God's love to the ends of the earth. This I Believe, I believe more than ever in renewal. Firemen Summoned On November 10 at 7-45 a.m., the Nyssa volunteer firemen were summoned to North Third and Columbia to extinguish a house fire.
