POLICE During the last seven weeks, Nyssa's police officers and re serve officers have been putting in extra hours while two of tiie department's newer officers attended the Oregon Police Aca demy, located at Oregon City. LAST FRIDAY, the two of ficers, Dick Cooper and Carl Zellar, graduated from the aca demy and returned to Nyssa. Both were back on the job by Tuesday, but they agreed to take a few minutes of their own time to discuss their ex periences at the academy with The Journal "The main purpoise of the academy," said Cooper "is creating more professionalism in police officers." "A higher degree of police officers, plus just give you a basic concept of police work." added Zellar. "You get the basics there and get the rest out here on the street." BOTH OFFIC ERS had worked for a number of months on the Nyssa force before being sent to the academy, but both felt the experience was worthwhile. Cooper and Zellar said that the "supervised" training they re ceived while here in Nyssa Closely paralleled what they got at the academy, but with more detail added by the academy instructors. "I do have a little more confidence," said Cooper. "It’s an awfully good school," said Zellar, "but I would like to see it about twenty-one weeks instead of seven." "We were getting 33-hour classes in eight hours." THE EMPHASIS throughout the academy, said both offi cers, was on "professionalism" and the routine of the training cycle was geared toward mak ing professional conduct second nature in the officers. "We had classes in the new Oregon Criminal Codes," said Zellar "and classes in traffic accident investigation, which both of us have had to do while on (tie job in Nyssa." "We did cover procedures in homicide investigations and crime scene protection and pre servation of evidence," said Cooper, "some of which we never did here tiecause It never came up." COOPER ANDZEL1AR said that the academy demanded a Adv«rtis*m«nt HOW’S YOUR HEARING? Electronic hearing tests will be given at the Stampeder Motel, Ontario on July 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. by John Pier son, Bellone Hearing Aid spe cialist. These tests will be of fered as part of the better iiearing workshop program now being conducted nationwide. Anyone who has trouble hear ing or understanding is welcome to come in for a test using the latest electronic equipment to determine his or her particu lar degree of hearing loss. Dia grams showing how the ear works and some of the causes of hearing loss will be avail able. To insure that an aerosol starch container will spray properly.

"Each night you spray, remove spray button had to spend hours working on and rinse under warm running your notes because you had to water hand them in each week and were graded on everything from spelling to handwriting." The emphasis was, naturally, on practical police matters such as criminal law, search proce dures, auto check technique and firearms training, to name just a few. Both officers, however, said that they were impressed with some of the discussion groups that the academy set up for the men. "In the course on deaf com munication,” said Zellar "they brought in people who were ac tually deaf and we would talk to them and try and learn how to communicate with them." Ali<i, ttw ff et said they learned a great deal from in formal discussion group ses sions with men who had been convicted of and were serving time for various crimes, in cluding men who had engaged in "shoutouts" cers. Nyssa is a peaceful com- munity and, hopefully, Co<f*r and Zellar will never have to use much of what they learned at the Oregon Police Academy. The city of Nyssa, however, can point with pride to the fact that all of its police officers have been trained to meet the re quirements of their very spe cial "profession", law enfor cement. Why are prices high? Be cause most people are willing and able to pay high prices for food and clothing If you could get $10.00 an hour for all the work you cared for would you do the same work for $4.00 per hour" As long as people swarm into meat markets, grabbing fur meat at any price, the butchers would be either idiots or phil anthropists to sell their pro duct at a lower price. We plan on a shortage of meat with high prices as long as congress with its infinate wisdom keeps rigging the law of supply and demand. About 40 years ago we discovered the way to higtier pork prices was to kill thousands of pigs and we've been doing it ever since. Up until this year, even with planned regulation of crops we have had a surplus. Now sud denly comes a shortage. Ad ministration is planning on forcing every meh of our farm lands into production next year. < >f ( <>ui w tins will be done willingly because we will have a federal guarantee on a good price. I suppose we'll sell next years surplus to China or Yugoslavia for nickels instead of subsidizing the cattlemen with lower grain prices. Of course tile people caught in the middle will be those with fixed incomes. Perhaps if we lowered the wages of congress instead of increasing them, con gress might actually learn that producing menus is a problem with a lot of people. It really is expensive to live in Wash ington but there’s no doubt but that a Sr. Citizen with $3,600 per year to spend foolishly looks at things with different eyes than a congressman with $42.500.00. No wonder a massive groan Is heard when congress Is planning on an increase to $53,000.00. With our economy in mind 1 feel that if we spend one dime that we haven't in our pockets toward rebuilding North Viet nam we should be forced to resort to the food supply that I so well remember from the depression. In the 1930’s I sold hundreds of cans of dog food to people that had nu dog in the family. Times were tough tlien and we have no assurance they wun't get tough again. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shaw Jr., Shawn Young and Mrs. Cecil Fortin went to the fair in On tario Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Evans went to Boise Friday evening and stayed with Mrs. Pauline Carins coming home Saturday afternoon.

Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Wil son and three daughters, Che ryl, Beverly and Niki Lee from Mikkalo, Oregon are visiting this week with his parents, the George Wilsons and other re latives and friends in the area as they used to live here. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Beas ley of Colorado have been visi ting her dad, the F. A. John sons for a month. They and Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Johnson went to Yakima, Washington to Mr, Johnson’s youngest sister’s 50th wedding anniversary, the Mr. and Mrs. Art Waters. They visited Mrs. Johnson’s two daughters and their grandchil- dren at Port Angeles, Wash- ington. The Freeman Beas- leys left last week for their home in Colorado.

Mrs. Edna Lee Stam has been named chairman of the breath of Life Campaign to fight children's lung diseases, according to Don Schollander, Honorary Chairman of the Ore gon Chapter, National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation. Mrs. Stam will lead local volunteers in raising funds to support research and care pro grams for children affected by lung-damaging diseases like cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, chronic bronchitis, bronchiec tasis, and a condition called “childhood emphysema." Chil dren in Oregon and Southwest Washington are diagnosed and followed attheC/FCenter, Uni versity of Oregon Medical School. A house-to-house appeal in Nyssa and Ontario is scheduled for September 10th through the 16th. Cysitc fibrosis, an incurable genetic disease, is inherited when both parents carry the recessive gene for C/F. It is believed that one in twenty persons or 10 million Ame ricans may carry theC/F gene, usually without knowing it. Cur rent research funded by the National Cystic Fibrosis Re search Foundation is seeking a practical test to identify these carriers. SHOP USONS FOR Because of improved therapy and constant research, many C/F patients are living beyond infancy to their teens and into young adulthood. That same kind of therapy is relieving and of ten curing children suffering from the other respiratory af flictions whose symptoms re semble those of C/F. "Most people don’t realize that there are six million chil dren in the U. S. affected by pulmonary illness," said Mrs. Stam. "For some of these chil dren, breathing is not the na tural function we, who are lucky, take for granted." The Breath of Life Campaign supports not only research, but over 100 C/F Centers for diag nosis and treatment across the country. 1ht0ld1i/rri£/L LOW DISCOUNT PRICES + BUDGET S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-R-S FRESH LEAN Xte GROUND USDA CHOICE BONELESS ROUND STEAK USDA CHOICE BONELESS ROLLED RUMP SWEET YELLOW COFFEEMATE 16 oz.
