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.

Editor, the Journal:
You are performing a public
service by helping to air the
Greater Oregon League contro
versy which I am pleased to see
you do.
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. Oldemeyer
(Good idea on the ballot! The
$5,000 figure was used based on
the report that Vale budgeted
$6,500 for athletic travel. Ed.)
