Pag« Eight Thursday, May 10, 1973 Th« Nyssa Gat« City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon HOME EXTENSION 3 —DAY conference Herb Sez... I’m very much aware that sports on TV, the newspapers and elsewhere are very im portant because many, many people are very interested in watching them. I firmly be lieve a considerable portion of the TV should be devoted to sports BUT lightening dove there can or must be some place a saturation point. On a Sunday a couple of weeks ago I wanted to see a certain movie that had been advertised for an entire week. Mod Squad had been preempted for a golf game. I saw the show a half an hour late. It would have been on time but they just had to show re runs of the match for thirty minutes. BREAKING GROUND FOR CONST RUCTION of six new homes in a new Self Help Housing project is Roque Rodríguez, second from left, president of the Self Help Housing Asso ciation. Mrs. Juan Perez and Jessie Me lendez, representing two of the families who will build the houses, have their hands on the gold plated shovel, while Rawghlie Perez, SHH coordinator, and Chalmers L. Jones, administrator of the special programs divi sion of the Oregon Department of Human Resources, look on. TRAVEL INFORMATION CENTERS OPEN The State’s six travel infor mation centers opened for bu siness Tuesday, May 1 and will remain open daily during normal business hours for the duration of the summer tourist season, it was announced today by George M. Baldwin, ad ministrator of highways. The centers are located adjacent to major highways at border sites near Ontario, Klamath Falls, Ashland, Brookings, Astoria, and North Portland. The centers are staffed with trained employees who offer travel information to the mo toring public. Maps, brochures, and other forms of printed in- TERRY L HART MAX CHAVEZ & The lower photo shows Mrs. Perex cutting the cake, supervised by Melendez and Rod ríguez. Refreshments were served after the short groundbreaking ceremony last Friday, with remarks by Chalmer Jones. Twenty self help homes have previously been built in Nyssa under previous programs. Members of the association build the homes in lieu of down payment, and Farmers Home Administration does the financing, with pay ments geared to family income. formation is furnished upon re quest to visitors to the centers. Last season there were 214,536 travelers who received special information at the six centers. The Ontario center opened last June and Brookings last Sept ember so this will be the first year that all six centers will be in full operation for an entire season. Primary purpose of the cen ters is to acquaint travelers with the many points of interest in Oregon and with the highways Once, long, long ago, we had basketball in winter, baseball in spring and summer and football in the fall. Now we have all three most of the year. Golf and hockey are seen the year around. Just about the only thing left to make a national contest out of is spitting at a crack in the sidewalk. 1, personally, don’t think it looks very good to blow a wad of dough to watch an athletic occasion such as a boxing match then complain about the high price of groceries. Today we seem overly willing to pay any price for recreation but balk on paying any increase for the necessities of life. We cry about the cost of clothing, food, fuel, rent, housingand just about anything else, but make time payments on campers, boats, snowmobiles, motorbikes, ski equipment and TRAVEL. Travel is my downfall. I like to go places and see things. While cutting down on the grocery bill I like to make unnecessary trips. This brings me to a point. I seem to be born with two left hands. I never could I could nt»ver catch a ball, learn to swim end when it came to running, 1 had to give that up because the turtles and snails whizzing past me made me dizzy. I have never cared for spectator sports and since I’m not good enough to parti cipate I must spectate. That's why I'd rather watch an old rerun movie than a hockey game 1 suppose that’s also why I dislike hearing people cry about high prices while we pay bil lions in the pursuit of ath letics. Travel?That’s different. I can participate in traveling. TEENAGER’S HEALTH Co verage.
