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!
