We Depend On Our Schools
This week marks the start of several activities, and with the
planning of these events the community can be really aware
for the first time how much we have depended on our school
fr-ilities.
The opening of the Christmas season reminds us that in the
past we have enjoyed a free pancake supper courtesy of the
Nyssa Chamber of Commerce. With ourcafetria gone, we will
settle for donuts and coffee in the fire station. Not as good,
but the spirit is there, and it in no wav detracts from the
excellent variety of goods and services offered by Nyssa
merchants for the coming season, and every season. With the
rising prices we see everywhere, one has only to look around a
little to know that he can do better shopping in Nyssa thar
almost anywhere in the country.
Basketball and wrestling both start in the next few days,
with the wrestlers in the Takedown Tournament at Ontario
Saturday evening, and the basketball team opening their
season at Emmett next Tuesday.
Wrestling coach Mel Calhoun and basketball coach Gerald
Talbot both have prospects of another excellent season We
have become accustomed to outstanding athletic teams in the
past few years, and we predict that these teams will be no
less accomplished than their predecessors.
While reflecting on these teams, it is well to reflect on the
sacrifices that the boys (and their parents) are making. They
journey to Ontario every night after school, and share practice
facilities at TVCC with the college teams. Many nights it is 7
or 8 before the kids and coaches get home from practice. They
are putting in long hours, and we can be thankful that the
college has been so generous in letting us share their
facilities.
When we have occasion to meet with TVCC officials, it
would be appropriate that we thank them for their help. That
goes also for the LDS church and the Nazarene Church for
allowing our kids to use their facilities for physical ed. and to
the Methodist Church for its use by the band and chorus.
Monday evening the school board has requested that all
school patrons come to the board meeting and hear about
plans for the new school buildings. The school board, building
committee and budget board have worked almost
continuously for six months to formulate these plans, and it
would be well for us to take one evening away from Monday
Night Football and see what its all about.
We are still almost two years away from new schools and
we are only now beginning to realize how much we as a
community depend on them, let alone the students and
teachers. Now that a group of dedicated citizens have spent a
great deal of their time in planning, it's our turn to show an
interest, and do our part towards making plans become
reality.

Mother’s letter to Santa
ATTENTION MOTHERS' The following la a sug­
gested letter to Santa Either recopy it in your own
handwriting, or clip and deliver to your favorite
Santa’s Helper
LETTERS
TO
EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
I feel very strongly that a
replv to the letter from Jane
Brewer, and cu signed by
members of the teaching
staff of the Adrian schools, is
in order.
In this letter the patrons of
this District were severely
criticized for not entering into
the recent dispute between
the teachers and Board of
Directors regarding a salary
schedule.
First, in my opinion, we
should not have been expect­
ed to do so because this issue
must be settled within the
school system and if this can
not be accomplished there is
something wrong with the
system. The presence and
comments of outsiders would
only serve to cause further
confusion and could not
possible bring about a
satisfactory result.
I did not attend the
meeting and do not know how
many were there or what was
said. The point about which I
am concerned is that the
Adrian citizens have been
accused of not supporting the
efforts of their teachers.
I have lived in Adnan for
almost !♦ years and during
all that time, until our recent
retirement, have assisted my
husband with his duties as
Clerk of this District. 1 have
never known of a community
this size which provides more
loyal and constant support to
the efforts and activities of
the teachers, students and
administration. We are very
proud of our schools and have
proved it in many ways. The
employes, to my knowledge,
receive fair treatment and
enjoy pleasant, comfortable
and cooperative
working
conditions. Many of them do
not reside here.
This
arrangement, although not
intended as criticism, be­
cause of the limited housing,
does, nevertheless, create a
situation not entirely fair to
other residents who are also
working for a living plus
helping to pay the school
salaries.
I do not take lightly the
duties and responsibilities of
qualified and
dedicated
teachers. Theirs is an honor­
able profession and not an
easy one. The training and
education required take time
and money. Any worthwhile
endeavor does.
Perhaps the salary sche­
dule in Adrian is inconsistent
with that of other area
schools, but 1 find it difficult
to believe that these people
are underpaid to the extent
as to cause an uprising of this
nature. Our schools have
earned a reputation for
excelling in athletics, music
and
scholastic achieve­
ments. This has taken the
cooperation of everyone con­
cerned. including the pat­
rons. and such unfavorable
publicity is not deserved.
Respectfully.
Mrs. C.G. Brown
Dear Santa.
I've been a good mother, not only thia year, but
for many year» before. Now I want something for
myself and for the rest of the family too
I want a new refrigerator. A great big one, to I
don't have to pack foods in like a three-dimensional
jigsaw puzzle I'd like it to have adjustable shelves
for storage convenience, and I'd like them made of
glass so when I spill things lor the kids dot it'll be
easier to clean up Door bins I can adjust or take
out to clean would be awfully nice, too
A large freezer would let me take advantage of
supermarket specials and help stretch the food
budget. Please make it a frost-free model; I'm sick
and tired of defrosting!
To make it just perfect, it should dispense ice
cubes and crushed ice through the door I swear,
I think I spent half of last summer opening and
closing the freezer and wrestling with ice trays
Thank you, Santa, and Merry Christmas
Yours truly.

Editor. The Journal:
Shortly after the election,
while the evening of Novem­
ber 5 was still keenly fresh in
my mind. 1 saw a sign in a
grocery store announcing
Thanksgiving which said,
“be thankful". Suddenly
those words were speaking to
me.
For the first time 1 had run
a state-wide
campaign.
When it was over the high
hopes were lost in defeat,
but, as I reflect. I am thankful
for all of you who worked so
hard in this campaign, for
those of you who wrote
letters for me, for those who
went door-to-door, for those
who worked to get out the
vote, and for those who did
all of those many things
essential in the campaign.
Most of all, 1 am exceedingly
thankful for the friends
Dolores and I have made in
the last ten months.
"Thank You” are two
short words often used. They
have special meaning as 1 say
them to you now. however,
and they have a special
meaning at this moment.
Yes, I am “thankful".
Sincerely,
Victor Atiyeh
