Some tunes our idealistic young people seem more concerned
■ ith straigtteBU< out the problems of our general::« than
facing up to their own. 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.

SUPERBITENDENT'S CORNER
By W.L. McPartland
Next Monday Nyssa will again
have to vote on next year’s
public school program. 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

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 ma<F
th«- scriptures so plain to us."
