LETTER
TO EDITOR
Whoa! 1 can't bettava It!
Not here In Malheur County,
Oregon. U.S.A.!! (Maybe in
Ireland, but not here.)
Neighbors feeling bitter to­
wards each other because of
the privilege to campaign and
vote...to demonstrate the
rights that our forefathers
fought and died for...that our
brothers, husbands, and fa­
thers have defended and
some gave their lives for?
On this Sunday before
election day. 1 ask myself
these questions and 1 ask
you:
(1) Why celebrate the
Bicentennial
if we don't
honor its meaning?
(2) Why have sports in our
community if "It isn't whe­
ther you win or lose, but how
you play the game?"
(3) Why send our children
to Sunday School if we don't
believe in it... "Love thy
neighbor." "Do unto others
as we would have them do
unto us." "Forgive us our
debts as we forgive our
debtors." "Thy will be
done?”
(4) Shouldn't we be able to
disagree with each other and
still respect the right to
disagree?
(5) Shouldn't we respect
and admire those that dare
stand up fur their convictions
rather than ostracize them?
laa't this what Democracy Is
all about?
Come on. Mom and Dad.
Grandma and Grandpa! Let's
shake this double standard
that we are asking our kids to
put with. Let's Shape Up
Before It's Too Late!
Grandma Pat Bond

Memorial Day is one of the most popular holidays in the
United States, and we will observe it in Nyssa on Monday
with appropriate ceremonies.
Memorial Day was originally established on May 30. 186«.
in honor of soldiers who died in the War Between the States.
The holiday was later expanded to include those who died for
their country in all wars.
Memorial Day has become not only an occasion to honor
our patriot dead, but also a day to visit and decorate the
graves of deceased loved ones and. for many, a traditional
day for an annual family reunion.
Coming, as it does, in the Spring of the year, the weather is
usually good, the days are warm, the roads clear, and the
flowers in bloom. It is a pleasant time for traveling.
Because of all these things, the Memorial Dav weekend is a
time when thousands upon thousands of additional motor
vehicles will be on the highways. Millions of Americans will
be attempting to travel, some for great distances, tending to
leave early, return late, and drive in a hurry.
It is not at ail surprising, therefore, to learn from public
safety officials that the Memorial Day weekend is marred by
one of the highest highway casualty rates in the year. If you
plan to drive anywhere this Memorial Day weekend, even a
short distance from home, remember to drive with extra
caution.
Those of us who plan to stay home should make an extra
effort to take in the ceremonies at the cemetery Monday
morning. The Americn Legion and Auxiliary make a real
