A good, strong dose of super-patriotism would help a lot in this anniversary year. There are several encouraging signs already. The Gannett Newspapers announced Monday that they are going to accentuate the positive, and feature more of the good things that go on in this country. The national news media, it seems, has been obsessed with over-emphasizing our faults. There are some very good things happening in this Bicentennial year, particularly on television. Channel 4 has been featunng patriotic senes, and those we have seen are very good. Tuesday night we watched the first of the Adams Family Chronicle, and seeing John. Samuel. Abigail and the family in living color certainly refreshes our memories of American History. We have some ideas that we think would be appropriate for this Bicentennial year in Nyssa. If you have some thoughts on this subject, by all means let the committee know of them. Ideas are no good, though, unless a dedicated group can put them into practice. A good example is the fine job that the garden club. Lions and city did on the beautification project on our north city limits. Idea No. 1: A Nyssa girl. Evelyn Bailey, has joined the wagon train and is going on to Valley Forge. You read about it in last week's Journal, and we think it is important. If Evelyn has enough spunk to take on a task like this, the least we in Nyssa could do is help a little financially. We pledge our support, and have contacted some organizations with like interests. We should get something going here soon. Idea No. 2: By the end of this year Nyssa will have one of the finest auditoriums in the country. A Bicentennial Organ in this fine, new structure would be something the community could provide, and at no extreme cost. A local group has just finished assembling an organ for their church, and there will be more on that later. We have found out that a theater console organ kit is under $5.000. and there are individuals who have the know-how to put it together. An organ would be something that the community could enjoy almoat indefinitely, and it would be fine for instructing our young school musicians. Idea No. 3: Tennis courts. Many have talked about more courts over the years, but we have never got into gear. This would be a good year for the school board to build two courts on the school grounds, and another two courts could be built in the North Park with community effort. Tennis is a wonderful sport that can be played by all. and courts could be provided with a good, concerted effort. Just a few ideas, let the Bicentennial committee know what YOU think.

We were able to attend this year, and were very impressed with the show, the field trips, and with your community. The waitresses in the cafes were most friendly and helpful about the show. Mr. Emil Wohlcke loaned a rock hammer to a woman and two small boys. then, because they would not be returning to Nyssa, asked me to return the hammer to an elderly gentleman in a straw hat at the rock show Where else would a $10.00 rock hammer be entrusted to perfect strangers! He wanted those little boys to experience the thrill of finding a nice rock. We thought so much of your community and of your show that we would like to publicize the 1976 show to our Lockheed Rock Club. Could you please send me the dates for the August 1976 show? Thank you very much. Sincerely. Mrs. B. Boulton 8743 Lemona Ave., Sepulveda. Calif. 91343 P.S.

The Birch Log Our Leftist Senate by John F. McMazusa Hrlmimt, MatmhutrUt - late last October, the Senate Commerce Committee voted down the nomination of brewing executive Joeeph Coon for a seat on the 16 member board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting A spokes man for the dissenting Senators gave the rea sons Mr Coors had funded a television news syndicate which was in his own words "an alternative to the liberal bias" of existing news syndicates, and. further, he had acknowledged making a contribution to The John Birch So­ ciety Senator John Pastore (D.-R.I.) voted against Mr Coon because, he said, such actions demonstrated "animosity toward the Eastern establishment." A seat on the board of the federal Corpora­ tion for Public Broadcasting is hardly a criti­ cally sensitive post Ordinarily a nomination of such relative unimportance receivee little notice and earns rubber-stamp approval But not so in the case of the conservative Mr Coors. He became the focal point of Senate vindictiveness, in spite of the fact that he was eminently qualified for the post, wax an exemplary citizen with no trace of misconduct on his record, and was absolutely correct about "liberal biaa" in the existing media Attorney General Levi A few months prior to the labelling of Mr. Coors as unacceptable, the full Senate con­ firmed by voice vote the nomination of Edward H Levi as Attorney General of the United States. The treatment accorded Mr. Levi while being considered for thia infinitely more im­ portant post turned out to be remarkably differ­ ent from what the Senators gave Mr. Coors. Without doubt, the difference stemmed from the fact that Mr. Levi's ties to the Left are both numerous and undeniable For instance, Edward Levi admita that ho became an active member of the National Law­ yers Guild "in 1936." (The organisation was actually begun in February 1937 Was ho a charter member'’) He further admitted that he retained his membership during the World War II years while holding down a federal piaition The National lawyers Guild, as many people know, is nothing less than the foremost legal arm of the Communiat Party in our country Committees of both Houses of Congress have repeatedly pointed out the subversive nature of thia group In response to such efforts. Mr Levi joined with an array of known Communists and fellow travelers in calling for the abolition of one of those Congressional committees In 1966. while he was Dean of the University of Chicago's Law Sohool. Edward Levi super­ vised a Ford Foundation project that secretly "bugged the deliberations of trial juries The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee inves tigated this serious invasion of jury privacy and turned up evidence showing Mr Levi’s links to numerous other Communists and Communist fronters One such individual was Communist sapionage agent Norman Bursler, who Mr Levi admitted had received his assistance in securing a key poet at the University What Goos OnT The Senate's winking at serious leftist con­ nections and its simultaneous rejection of patri­ otic Americana are not a new phenomenon, but one that has been evident for years and one that has helped to speed our nation down the road toward leftist tyranny As Attorney General, Mr Levi has curtailed the domestic intelligence activities of the F B l and thrown his considerable weight behind moves to deny Americans the right to keep and bear arms Both of these goals have long been sought by the enemies of America Mr Lavi is also credited with arranging for the selection of hie long lime friend. John Paul Stevens, as the newest Justice of the Supreme Court We won der if Mr Stevens' speedy confirmation by the Senate is an indication of the kind of attitude he will bring to the court
