Lordy how time does fly. I
was watching the boob tube the
other day wondering just what
I would write for theChrlstmas
column. Then Lo and behold I
discovered I was too late. There
was a time when I thought
Christmas would never get here
and now It breezes along at
a frightful pace. The reason
it sneaks up on us may be
due, in pert, to the various
merchants who sell Christmas
Merchandise. Along about the
Fourth of July you can expect
some sort of a Christmas sale.
You see so much of it all year
long that you get so that very
little attention is paid to the
commemoration of the Blessed
Event. In any event 1 do sin
cerely hope that you had a very
Merry Christmas and let me be
the first to extend this Joyous
wish to you for the year 1973.
New Years is something dif
ferent, I’m here on time with
that wish. Happy New Year!!!
New Years hardly sneaks up
on us because we are worrying
most of the year about where
we're going to pick up the
dough to pay the taxes .
In the past I've made some
predictions for the coming year
and if you should care to look
back some of them came true
but on the other hand many of
them didn't. 1 see by the news
that the war in Vietnam is
about to close but I wouldn't
be surprised if we did a little
more bombing in the North.
Those North Vietnamese are
pretty shrewd and before they
ever sign any peace settlement
they have to get bombed a wee
bit more. Why? I’ll tell you
why. The United States has pro
mised to rebuild our bomb dam
mage to the tune of about 4,-
000,000,000.00 (that’s four Bil
lion bucks. Sir). To them life
is expendable to get down to
zero population they will be
willing to trade a few more lives
for more cash to rebuild. I
imagine that the war to them at
this stage with our generousity
is more or less a profit and
loss business. They can't under
stand why we make such a fuss
over prisoners and would be
plenty satisfied if we would
keep our prison camps full for
ever more. The Oriental and
Occidental minds are two dif
ferent things We never seem to
learn that
May you live as long as you
want to and want to as long
as you live.
Happy New Year.

HISTORY OF DRUGS IV
By the 1300s, the Arabs
knew about coffee, and took
it in religious ceremonies for
its ‘‘intoxicating’’ effects.
Some claimed that the Angel
Gabriel had given the coffee
plant to Mohammed; others
claimed that the Koran for
bade such stimulants.
Coffee was widely used
throughout the Arab world
by the 1600s, often with khat,
a stimulant leaf, which is
chewed. Both were officially
frowned upon, especially with
the rise of coffee houses as
important meeting places.
Authorities feared that cof
fee houses would breed re
bellion, and repeatedly tried
to prohibit coffee. Criminal
penalties—including death—
failed to stop the spread of
coffee, however.
It was in the 1500s that
coffee reached Europe, where
its religious and medicinal
virtues were hailed by some.
In 1676, however, Charles II
of England ordered all coffee
houses closed. He rescinded
his order sixteen days later
because of the great popular
outcry. By 1700 coffee houses
were popular throughout
most of Europe and were
spreading to America.
Scandinavia prohibited the
use of coffee until coffee
smuggling got out of hand.
In 1769, coffee was legalized
and taxed, bringing profits
into government treasuries.
Tea, cultivated since an
tiquity in China, had reached
Japan by 600 A.D., and Bud
dhist priests used it ritually
for centuries. In the 15th cen
tury, the tea ceremony de
veloped as a socio-religious
rite, a means of attaining the
peace and tranquility of Zen.
Tea first appeared in Eng
land by the 1650s, and, in
1773, American colonists pro
testing the British tea tax
dumped tea shipments into
Boston harbor. The American
preference for coffee is said
to date from that time.

Robinson F. Barker, chair
man and chief executive offi
cer of PPG Industries and a
member of the executive com
mittee of the National Com
mittee for Employer Support
of the Guard and Reserve
called for “increased support
by American employers,
everywhere, to encourage
employee participation in
National Guard and Reserve
programs."
Speaking at the National
Association of Manufactur
ers’ 77th Annual Congress of
American Industry in New
York, Mr. Barker urged em
ployers to develop "jiersonnel
policies and practices in sup
port of the Guard and Re

that Federal officials might turn
the program over to the Idaho
Community Health clinics, Inc.
if we local people did not take
positive steps to forstall this
action. One action that would
be positive would be for TVUAC
to request Nick Peet to install
clinic in Multi-Service Center
now and tie down the location.
But if TVUAC did not request
this action be taken, Nick would
remain neutral.
PHONE CONVERSATION WITH
EMIL MAAG
That
evening during con
versation with Emil Maag, he
said that Nick Peet met with
members of the County Court
and suggested the same offer;
that if the Malheur CountyCourt
would make a request that the
health clinic be installed in the
Multi-Service Center, he would
adhere to their wishes.
Emil and I decided to get
people from both meetings to
gether and compare notes.
Court, TVUAC, Chamber of
Commerce, Taxpayer’s Voice
and interested individuals met,
and discussed the issue of lo
cation. The decision reached
at that meeting was that TVUAC
and the County Court had been
put into an impossible situa
tion and the group present de
cided to call another meeting
involving
the newly elected
health board and a larger seg
ment of the community.
THIRD MEETING HELD AT
MALHEUR COUNTY LIBRARY
TVUAC, CountyCourt, Mutli-
Service Center, newly elected
Health Board, Taxpayer's Voice,

pital and other interested par
ties were present.
The thrust of the meeting was
designed to choose one organi
zation to represent all and ad
vise Nick Peet on our desires.
Because no specific person or
organization
sponsored
the
meeting, the agenda was not
carefully planned and the people
became confused between choo
sing a clinic site and develop
ing the health program.
