One Year...................$6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Presidential Inauguration Saturday, January 20, the American people will Witness a ceremony which has been repeated every four years since 1789...the Inauguration of the President of the United States. It is an important occasion for all Americans. It is tra ditionally the time when we join ranks for the common good, and when partisan politics are put aside. This year, though, it doesn’t seem to us that partisan poli tics have been put aside. In the wake of an overwhelming land slide victory for President Nixon and Vice-president Agnew, with 61 percent of the popular vote and all but one state, Mas sachusetts, and the District of Columbia supporting the ad ministration, there has not been the good feeling that one should expect from our national news media. They insult the intelligence of the vast majority of the American people who support their president, and showed that support at the polls. At a time when the president and his aides are working day and night to bring this despicable war to a decent finish, and it would seem that they are very close to winning this goal, we have seen a constant barrage of criticism, second guessing, and actions close to being treason. This is a time when President Nixon, Henry Kissinger and the hundreds of others who are negotiating with the Communists need all the moral and spiritual help possible from the Ameri can people. Yet during these hard days we have seen con stant carping in the press, members of Congress are talking about cutting off funds, and under the circumstances it would seem miraculous if a settlement can be reached. We have always been a strong participant in partisan poli- tics, and have never been hesitant to support the candidates of our choice. After the campaign is over, though, we have always given our support to the candidate who has been elected by the majority of the people to represent us. That is the American way. We would like to see that same support now for President Nixon. We are coming into an era, hopefully, of peace. We face what may be the most prosperous years m the history of our country. We will observe the 200th year of our exis tence as a nation during this administration. This would seem like a good time to close ranks. A good time to be thankful for our great heritage and unlimited op portunity. A good time to give thanks that we have an orderly progression in National leadership, with a say as to who will be our leaders. As we witness the Inauguration this Saturday, the surest fact of all is that in January, 1977 there will be a new and different president inaugurated. And again, we will all have a vote as to who that president will be. In the meantime, and for the next four years, lets give our support to President Nixon. SUPERMTEN DENT'S CORNER By W.L. McPartland Last week the Gate City Jour nal carried as an editorial a good summary of some of the problems regarding Nyssa High School’s participation in the Greater Oregon League with the following schools: Vale, Burns, John Day, Madras, Prineville, Wahtonka at The Dalles, and Mac High at Milton-Freewater. The league we now participate in is the SRV League with the following schools: Weiser, Pa yette. Vallivue, Kuna, Emmett and Bishop Kelly. Things that must be taken into consideration are (1) the opportunity to participate in State Championship playoffs, (2) loss of school time on trips, (3) teachers absent because of accompanying the team, and (4) money to finance the trips. The Nyssa School Board must make a decision. The right de cision is the one that the com munity believes in and will support. The School Board needs feed-in from every voter in the school district. What kind of a package will you buy? Please let us know. You can help us make the right deci- sion by talking to your School Board members and return ing the paper ballots. Next Sunday three School Board members, Don Eng strom, Bill Schilling, Gene Stunz and I are going on a 2 1/2 day trip to visit the su perintendents and school boards- llrttrrB 372-2233 DIRICK NEDRY . . . .

In your editorial in the January 11, 1973, Journal, you invited let ters to the editor, but you put the ballot in the same issue of the Journal before future letters will be read by the subscribers. May 1 suggest that this ballot be disregarded and another be printed in the January 25, 1973 issue, using a different format to distinguish them. This will allow an opportunity for others to express their opinions and pre sent information related to the controversy before the ballot can be marked. In addition, would you please state m the next issueof the Jour nal how you determined the es timated cost of $5,000.00 given in your January 11 editorial? —Donald L.
