One Year....................$6.00 Six Months.................. $4.00 Jobs Eor Veterans Campaign An estimated 12,000 veterans are looking for suitable work in Oregon. A great number of these are Viet Nam-era veterans--young men who took a year or more out of their lives to help bring "a lasting peace to the world in our time.” Many who had jobs before going into the service will return to them, but many who didn’t will need opportunities for train ing and suitable employment so that they can get back to a normal civilian life. The Governor’s Task Force on Jobs for Veterans is spear heading a "Jobs for Veterans" campaign beginning this month and continuing as long as it takes to find suitable training and employment for these deserving veterans. Such agencies as the State Divisions of Employment, Vo cational Rehabilitation, Veterans’ Affairs, and the Federal Veterans’ Administration, along with the National Alliance of Businessmen, are all cooperating to make this campaign urging employers to hire veterans a success. We join with all of these agencies and organizations to urge all employers to consider the dependability, experience and know how of veterans the next time you have job openings. Or per haps you can create a new position to use the abilities of these experienced veterans. Contact your nearest Employment Division office for more information.

LEITER TO O-o EDITOR Editor, The Journal An inter-community squabble seems to be developing over the possible use of revenue shar ing funds to remodel and up grade the county owned nursing home in Vale. I certainly hope the entire community of Nyssa does not all feel as some of your folks have been voicing. First, everyone should re member that the Malheur Nur sing Home is county owned and operated. It happens to be lo cated in Vale. Its residents are from all over the county. Mal heur County has operated a county owned "old folks home” for more years than anyone carestoremember. Theyhave been in the present facility, which was built and donated to the county by Vale area resi dents, for more than 20 years. The Nyssa hospital decided to enter the extended care busi ness in 1966. You in Nyssa voted to expand and. of course, are being taxed for this ex- pansion. Remember, it was YOUR choice. The county was already in business and you knew this. The Malheur Nursing Home is badly in need of repairs. For many years the county has operated it and has not put money back into it for capital improvements. This, coupled with the increasing demands of the State of Oregon and the Federal, has made it imperative that something be done NOW. Revenue sharing, in the amount of $141,000 seems to be the best possible solution to the problem. Malheur County is too small and the towns have too much to gain from each other to squabble over revenue sharing money, Besides the $141,000 is only 5 quarters of a 5 year or 20 quarter planned amount. We seem to be forgetting the most important thing; providing good nursing home care and a loving home for those in our county that must have extended care. It should make no dif ference whether they are finan cially able to pay for their care of if they have to resort to the public paying for their care.

Mrs. Barbara Morgan, ad ministrator of the Malheur Nur sing Home invites you to come and visit the home and see for yourselves where the repairs and rennovations must be made. —Mrs. Jerry Auyer, Vale. dishes Gas gives you hot water when you want it! What a waste of precious time to wait for hot water to do dishes! When you want hot water, you want HOT water. There's no substitute . . . nothing in between . . . nothing almost as good. How can you be SURE you'll always have hot water at YOUR house? Gas-fired water heaters have a treasured reputation for keeping hot water flowing in households of all sizes, without interruption. No waiting. No disappointments. Gas delivers because nothing heats water like natural gas. If your flameless water heater leaves something to be desired, why not inquire about a change-over. Let the Cascade man talk facts and figures with you. No obligation-except the one you owe yourself.
