"It seems to me," he editorialized re cently, "that the end of the war was the end of an era in our country. Life has never been quite the same. “I remember in high school wanting a jobso bad that I offered to work in the local grocery store for almost nothing. I got the job -- and a salary yet. Fifteen bucks a week from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and until 10 p.m. on Saturdays. Man, did we work! There were no benefits, no Thursday afternoons off, no coffee breaks, just work. But I banked the whole fifteen bucks while living with mv folks. It was sort of a status symbol in those days to have a good job and be a little independent. "When my Dad built his home during those depression years, the best labor could be obtained for $1.25 a day. He went to Louisiana to get the kind of wood he wanted for that house, and there was lots of joking about it at the time. But that timber is as good today as it was then. "Then the war came. They were tragic years, but we were held together by a great common bond and by a loving concern for our neighbors and friends. After the war, there was no going back to the old days, and it has never been the same and never will be. People are different, attitudes are different, goals and values have changed.’’ Of course, wr,at happened was that during -- and after-- W’orld War II we all got "rich’’; at least, there has been a lot more money around, even if it goes in one pocket and out the other. In the days Sam Pitner speaks of, money was hard to find, if you found a little, you had a lot, and it didn’t slide through your fingers like it does now. And Sam isn’t the only fellow to wonder out loud if all that extra money we have floating around these days has really made us any happier! U. S. Press Association Reverend Bob’s Gduinii It was at a special evangelis tic service at The Methodist Church that LIFE really began for Francis Foster. She marks the winter of 1930 as the time that God inspired her to give her life to the service of her God. Shortly after committing her life to Christ, Francis entered Westmont College inCalifornia. Several years after finishing school she began a ‘round the world" missionary tour. On this trip she travelled throughout India singing in the native dia lects of India and preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. After her‘roundthe world’mis sionary trip she returned to Ja pan and spent two and a half years of ministry in that coun try. Since then she has spent ano ther two and a half years of ministry of work in Japan. But her heart was actually in India and so after her two and a half years of work in Japan she went to northern India where she preached and opened new chur ches. She worked among the na tional workers of this country for a year and a half. But to her regret the government of India suddenly terminated the stay of foreign missionaires and she along with many others had to leave India. She left India and went into Pakistan where she spent several years of success ful ministry. Francis has given about twelve years of her life to Foreign Missionary work and has also worked in many pla ces here in the United States starting Sunday Schools, con ducting Vacation Bible Schools, working in Bible Colleges, ful filling that inspired call of 1930 to give her life in the service of her God. Service to God was not a new idea to The Foster Fa mily or to Francis. Her pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. W .W. Fos ter dedicated their life to the service of their God when they were married. They have been active members of the Metho dist Church in Nyssa since 1912. They raised their fa mily with the idea that all peo ple should put their service to God first in their lives. The Fosters have one other daugh ter Grace W ilson who has been a missionary in Alaska. She with her husband, Charles Wilson, still live in Alaska where they are active in summer youth camps. Their sen, Chuck Wil son, will enter college this fall to prepare for the ministry. Tom Foster, the son of W. W. Foster and a brother of F ran- cis, has been a Methodist minister for fifteen years. All the other sons and daughters are active in their churches. The list of Fosters who are giving their life in service to their God is long and will go on forever. Francis is now waiting for a visa to return to Pakistan. RUMMAGE SALE MAY 22 - 23 - 24 10 a. m. to 4 p. tn ST.

I enjoyed the dark room best. Thank you very much for taking time out of your work to tell us about “The Nyssa Gate City Jornal.’’ Sincerely Yours, Rick Olsen and FifthGraders Adrian Elementary School. Editor, the Journal: (This is a copy of a let ter to Supt. W.L. Me Partland) Dear Mr. Me Partland I was invited to attend a recent overnight two-day field trip conducted in the Unity, Ore gon area by the 6th grade tea chers and students. I honestly questioned the value of such a trip, and in my own mind did not anticipate anything more than a two day "rat race’’ with 105 kids. I found that I was completely wrong. It was quite evident that much prior planning and study had gone into preparing for the trip. I am certain the students gained much know ledge about an important part of Eastern Oregon. They were well behaved and I was proud of how they conducted them selves. The Forest Service per sonnel, 6th grade teachers, and all of the students deserve praise for their efforts to make the trip a success. I would not hesitate to recommend a similiar trip for next years’ 6th graders.
