As it was. the boys played exceptionally well, and we salute the Vikings as a team which will represent District 7 very well. Many football fans have come to realize that the calibre of play in our league equals that played almost anywhere. Both Nyssa and Vale beat VaUivue, who are SRV champs and Idaho play-off winners so far Likewise, they both won over Ontario, which plays tn AAA competition, and has won games in their league. The Bulldogs only losses were by one touchdown each in an exceptionally competitive league. Coaches Art Bullock and Max Brittingham are to be congratulated on molding a team that played hard-nosed, exciting football. To the 20 seniors who played their last game for Nyssa last Friday, we congratulate each of you. and you will be missed next year. On the surface, losing 20 seniors would be a tough blow to any squad. We can take bean for next year by the fact that our seventh grade, eighth grade, freshman and junior varsity teams all had winning seasons. Coaches Vernon Lords. Dennis Savage. Gerald Talbot and Glenn Walker are each to be congratulated. Good coaching and a winning spirit keeps the pipeline filled, insuring good competition at the varsity level. While handing out accolades, we would also like to congratulate Coaches Jerry Huntley and Dan Wilson and their Adrian team, which also had a winning season and gave the Adrian fans a lot of thrills and good football over the season. Reflecting on the Nyssa-Vale game, it represented high school competition at its very best. Good crowds on both sides of the field, bands and school spirit, and exceptionally good football. We have observed close rivalries in other areas, and too often the teams were more interested in inflicting physical injury rather than skill on the field. Not so in the intense inter-school rivalry between Nyssa and Vale, where the athletes do their best on the field and shake hands when the game is over. That’s the way it should be. Football still has a couple of months to go at the college and professional level, but high school fans can now look forward to the basketball season We predict another very good season for Coach Gerald Talbot and his Bulldogs.

The Journal: Thursday night I attended a Town Meeting where Nyssa's garbage situation was discussed. After hearing the discussions. I found I must have time to reflect on the various arguments pre sented before I could make a logical decision. It seems the word '' manda - tory" was the main bone of contention between accep ting or rejecting the Proposed Garbage Ordinance 454 which states "Mandatory perishable garbage collec tion". The word 'Manda tory' is defined by Webster as obligatory or constituting a duty. Thus defined. 1 do feel it is my duty to accept the recommendation of the Cou ncil for a Mandatory Garbage Collection to make it the responsibility of all Nysa residents to pay for keeping our city clean. Further. I feel it should be possible for anyone to be excused from participation if he does not in fact need the service and can maintain his property in an acceptably dean condition without it. Sincerely, Fred A. Robinson Editor. The Journal: On behalf of millions of children who suffer lung-da maging diesases and the Malheur County chapter of the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I say "thank you” to the people of Nyssa and Adrian. So many people contri buted generously—not only in dollars but in valuable time and effort. The newspapers •nd the radio stations have shown interest in reporting the plight of children and the efforts of the Breath of Life Campaign to help them. This year's goal for Nyssa was $293 and we raised a total of $350. This money is used to support programs of assistance and education to help our national programs of research. Remember 81% of this money goes for research to find a cure or control for Cystic Fibrosis and to de- vetape better care far chil dren with lung damaging disease. We can also be encouraged that C/F children are living longer, more productive lives; and children with diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, brood- hiectasis and other king damaging diseases are being treated with increasing effec tiveness. Our progress is worthy of recognition and pnde and we thank all of our friends in Nyssa and Adrian for making it possible. We would like to say a special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hill of Payette who donated a Mist-O-Gen to the Ontario hospital for use in the new respiratory unit. Edna Lee St am.

The Birch Log Hammer and Nixon by John F. MeMoruta Helmunl. Matwhuurltt — On October 1, a man named Armand Hammer pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of making illegal contributions to former President Richard Nixon's 1972 reelection campaign Dr Ham mer. board chairman and president of the Occi dental Petroleum Corporation, had concealed a gift of $64,000, in violation of a 1972 federal law that requires publication of the identity of large contributors to political campaigns (Prior to the effective date of that law. he had already given the Nixon campaign the first $46,000 of a $100,000 pledge i Obviously, Dr Hammer had some powerful reason for keeping his support for Nixon quiet Images Versus Realities Most Americans know that Richard Nixon enjoyed a reputation as an anti-Communiat He achieved it through hia highly publicized but actually minor role in the exposure of Alger Hiss in the late 1940s On the strength of that single ac t and a great deal of rhetoric, Richard Nixon was catapulted into a prominence that carried him all the wav to the White House ( lose watchers of the former President, how ever. have never been (exiled by Nixon's anti- Communist image The real Nixon was re vealed to increasing numbers of Americans after he became President, as he blazed a trail to one Communist Socialist goal after another It was Nixon who brought legitimacy to Mao Tse tung; who engineered fantastic increases in the size and reach of the federal government; who gloried in our shameful capitulation in Southeast Axia, and who delegated enormous power to Henry Kissinger and a host of other left leaning appointees No. Richard Nixon was never a real anti- Communiat. But for some who might require additional evidence to support our view, we suggest a Icxik into the background of Nixon- contributor Armand Hammer It is highly sig nificant that this man would go to euch lengths to help the man with the anti-Communist image For Armand Hammer haa bean a lifelong pro-Communiat Who la Armand Hammer? Seventy seven vearold Armand Hammer is the son of Dr Julius Hammer, a close friend of Soviet dictator lenin and a founder of the American Communiat Party. In 1921 the senior Hammer sent Armand to Russia, where he was warmly received by the Bolshevik leader. Young Armand had brought along large shipmenta of goods needed to sustain the revolution In re turn, he was given a monopoly in pencil manu lecturing, an operation that netted him over 11 million in profits the very first year. Lanin later inscribed a portrait of himaelf to "Comrade Armand Hammer." as evidence of his affection Hammer stayed on in the Soviet Union until 1931. During this period he amaaaed a fortune by gathering the priceless art treasures that had been stolen from the Russian aristocracy by the ('omni uniats. He then took hu fortune out of Russia - he was one of very few able to do to — and made additional millions producing whiskey and raising livestock in the United States In 1967, he acquired the Occidental Petroleum Corporation. In recent years, he has befriended Khrushchev and Brethnev, while becoming the largest beneficiary of the tai-supported U S. trade that keeps the Reds in business An Important Point The point we wish to stress about all of thia is that thia notorious pro Communist, a friend and agent of every Soviet dictator and a bene ficiary of Red tyranny, obvioualy wanted to keep Richard Nixon in the White Houae. Thia ia the story that ought to be headlined, not the mere fact of Hammer's violation of a campaign contribution law. But don't waste time looking for thia story elsewhere, because you won't find it. The Nixon policies that so appealed to Dr Hammer are being continued by Preeident Ford, and the American people have been told that euch perfidy is progress © I97!i Thrjohn H/rch Sorirty F’raturri Paid by Joe Seward, 111 F.hrgood, Nyssa, Oregon J
