To have any person or per sons to try to force, scare, or demand that we have to belong to the Greater Oregon League to be “eligible” for this pri vilege is unreasonable and we question the legality of it. By belonging to the Greater Oregon League the demands on the student-athlete's time is clear out of proportion. The basic reason for high school is academic....not sports. Phy sical education is fine, but sports should be the secondary reason why anyone is in high school and also the secondary thing to spend the taxpayers money on. If we are “forced” to be long to the GOL, then the State should pay any additional costs relative to it instead of ex pecting our local taxpayers to approve of it. They'll vote down the budget again on that one thing as being “unnecessary.” The students benefiting from State competition is only a very small percentage of your total school enrollment. Why should we havetochoose either of the two evils? Fight to retain our rights towards State competition which we are entitled to without having to join the Greater Oregon League. —Ens and Willis Bertram ^OBITÚABIÍS Victoria Dunton Victoria (Sunshine) Dunten, 93, Nyssa, long-time Malheur County resident, died, Friday, January 19, 1973 at the Mal heur Memorial Hospital, Nyssa.

This faith is not a un», time or some-time thing, but rather that which is preached and taught tn the Church n all times, and is based upon the fact that Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Saviour, and «« Redeemer, is the center of all our worship and faith, and that it is His Holy Spirit which no« dwells in our lives and in our hearts and inspires us tn grea ter faith and greater things to the Glory of God.
