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.

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.

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.
