One Year.................... $6.00 Six Months................... $4.00 School Negotiations Equitable The Nyssa School Board and Nyssa teachers are to be congratulated on arriving at a fair and equitable settlement in salary and working conditions for the coming year. The 1973 Oregon Legislature enacted a new Collective Bargaining Law for public employees, and the teacher board negotiations were carried out under the provisions of this act. The negotiating teams met eight times since last November, and the meetings were earned out in a pleasant and cooperative manner. They negotiated in good faith. We understand that a salary schedule was approved equal to that of Vale, and under the salary scale which the Ontario teachers turned down Both Ontario and Adrian schools have declared an impasse on their negotiations, and an outside mediator must be brought in to help them settle their difficulties. Salary schedules are up, and for the most part reflect the increases in cost of living. It would have been quite easy for our teachers to have been carried away with their newly granted powers designated by the legislature. It is to their credit that they did not, and we predict that the voters will take this into consideration when time comes to approve a budget True, farmers and businessmen for the most part have had a very good year in this area, but it is also true that we are faced with rising costs, shortages, and worries as to what lies ahead. We commend the school budget board and the teachers negotiating committee for using good sense It will make for a much more enjoyable and cooperative spirit within our district in the years ahead. Bureaucrats Will Extend Energv Crunch We are of the opinion that the wag who coined the re mark "even crime wouldn’t pay if the government were to run it” was speaking words of wisdom. The current energy crisis, much of which can be laid at the door of political interference over a period of many years, is now beginning to act as a nucleus for another bureaucratic superstructure which will form another ‘•wart” on the American enterprise system. With at least a dozen bureaus working to get their fin ger into the energy pie, unless the American people wake up and begin to return to their faith in the American en terprise system, we can expect years of growing inter ference with the production of sufficient energy to keep our economy on the move. Our American enterprise system is not perfect, but when operating with a minimum of bureaucratic inter ference, it has always been equal to any crisis. But it takes oil men to produce oil, it takes power men to pro duce power, it takes nuclear scientists to produce nuc lear power, just as it takes farmers to produce agri cultural products. How many sugarbeets, potatoes, onions and agricultural products could the farmers of Treasure Valley produce if hamstrung by government regulations at every turn? Extension Group Meets The AKH Home Extension study group had their meet ing Friday afternoon at the social room of the Adrian Community Presbyterian Church with twenty women attending. This was a A.C.W.W. meeting, a pro ject meeting they have once a year. The Big Bend unit was well represented. Mrs. O’Dell of Huntington, who was the speaker brought two friends. She showed slides of the trip she and her hus band took to the Pogo Pogo Islands in the South Seas, and told interesting things about each picture.

Editor, The Journal February is Heart Month and I have been calling on my friends and neighbors, asking them to invest in the work of the Oregon Heart Association. I also give them a pamphlet of infor mation on heart disease and ask them to read it carefully because the information could save their life-it very possibly saved mine, month a volunteer worker for the Oregon Heart Asso ciation called on me, asked for a contribution and left a pamphlet with me I read the pamphlet and went to my phone and made an appoint ment with Doctor Flanagen. I soon found myself in St. Luke’s Hospital in Boise hav ing open-heart surgery and soon after that found myself feeling great, free from pain and able to do all of the things 1 have always enjoyed doing. I was not a typical candidate for heart disease. I was only 42 years old, and women do not have as much heart disease as men, al though this is rapidly chang ing. I have never been over weight, I have never had high blood pressure, I have never smoked, 1 have exer cised on a regular basis and I get regular check-ups with my doctor. I just couldn't believe that the chest dis comfort I was having was caused by my heart. I am very grateful to the Oregon Heart Association and to the volunteer worker for the in formation that made me rea lize it could be caused by my heart. Since it’s origin in 1948 the Oregon Heart Associa tion has allocated more than $3,000,000 to research tode- velop such life-saving devi ces as the artificial mitral valve, dacron-teflon arte ries, pacemakers and moni toring equipment. They also helped perfect the vein-by pass surgery which has let me lead a full, active life. They also provided post doctoral fellowships for Doc tor Donald Stott and Doc tor Rodnev Herr who arenow in Boise I am only >ne of many who have benefited greatly from their skill. Much has been accom plished in the battle against heart disease, but there is much still to do. 1 very much hope that your rea ders will generously invest in the Oregon Heart Asso ciation and help win the bat tle with the disease that kills and disables more people than any other. I also hope that they will learn all that they can about heart disease. What they learn could save their life!
