If they are looking for a cause, me of the best we could suggest would be the safe speratioc nt motor vehicles. The Gregcc Motor Vehicles Division has recently issued their 1972 report, and the statistics aren’t gc<«i There are 1.4 million drivers in Oregor. and abcut me-fourth of them are under the age of 25. Yet, they accounted for 40 per cent of the 357,000 cocvictioos for traffic la» v.olatioes in 19T2 Of the more that M.OOC drivers involved in Oregon traffic crashes last year 27 percent »ere between 15 and 24 years ot age When fatal and mjury accidents are considered, that figure climbs to about 38 per cent of the drivers involved. The traffic death and tn jury picture is even worse Orecoo’s traffic death toll last year »as 734, the highest on recc rd. Forty-ooe per ceot of the people killed and 49 per cent of the people injured »ere ander 25 years Ud The Motor Vehicles Division says the results of this un- eoviaUe record are many and far-reaching. Aside from the motley spent for fines, yo«mg drivers pay much higher prem.um? for auto insurance. Then there is the cost and Ukcccvenience of the accidents themselves. Even a non-injury accident generally means loss of the ear for several days or weeks while it is being repaired. Editor, The Journal An injury can result m loss of ume from »irk or school.

It has been difficult to do much in explaining the 1973-74 school budget with the vote on the pro­ perty tax relief measure pro­ viding uncertainty as to bow schools would be funded. The total increase in the Nyssa School budget is $91,705. Two teachers for the vocational program, building trades, and mechanical training are inclu­ ded in this year's budget that have been financed under Ti­ tle in Program for the past three years. Vocational pro­ grams are expens.ve, but very necessary. Money for a ne» bus and van is included in the budget. Last year a chassis »as pur­ chased and an old bus tczfy was installed. In order to compete m state playoffs, it »as necessary to rejoin the Greater Oregon Lea­ gue. Money for extra travel, meals and bousing is included in this budget. The band wiiforms should have been replaced three or four years ago--but we got by »¡th makeshift getups in order to save money. The fixed charges make up almost one-third the trxal increase which includes a so­ cial security, retirement and WE FIX FLATS FOR LADY DRIVERS FREE Bob Elliott Tire Center NYSSA, OREGON insurance.

The School Board, Budget Board i and Administration have worked I hard to keep Nyssa school costs down. Nyssa school costs per child are the lowest in the State of Oregon. It is difficult to maintain the schools and still provide a quality edu­ cational program. This year has been a very good year academically, att- letkaily, and musically, Fm proud of Nyssa students.

Reverend Bob's (x> I limn The disciples on th« road to Emmaus the evening of the re­ surrection of Jesus Christ had been walking for some time, talking of all the things that had happetwd the last few days. They discussed over and over again the trial, the crucifixion, th« burial and the resurrection of Christ. Soon a stranger joined them an their Journey and asked them »hat they were talking about. They said tchim, "You must be the only stranger in Jerusalem who hasn't heard all the things that have happened there recently!” "What Things ’’’ asked Jesus. They then told Him all about the events of the last f«» days but did not know they were talking to their Lord. Jesus began to explain to them why all the things that had happened to Him had to happen and bo» all of it «as the plan of God for the redemption of the world. But still they did not recog­ nise Him. They continued their journey »allung along the road to Emmaus »ith Him but r>ot knowing Him. The journey must have taken several hours for it »as about 18 mites from Jeru­ salem to Emmaus. They talked with Him for the »hole Journey but for some reason they still did not know Him. When they came to the end of tte-ir Journey they asked Him to come eat »ith them and stay with them for the night »as late. Here are the next events as written in The Philips transa- lation of the passage, "So He went indoors to stay with them. Then it happened’ While He was sitting at tbe table »¡th them He took the loaf, gave thanks, broke it and gave to them. And their eyes opened wide and they knew Him But He vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, "Weren’t our hearts glowing while He was with us on the road, and wtien He mamt« rship drive, »ith headquar­ ters tn th»- Libby f the M «ire Hotel, is open from 10 a m to 4 p m dally.
