Oregon 9'9|3 under act of Congress of March 3. 1879 MEMBER SUBSCRIPTION RATES Malheur County. Oregon, and Pasette and Canyon Counties. Idaho; $ 6.00 $1 LOO One Year Two Years Elsewhere In the V.S.A. One Year S 7.00 Two Years $13.00 Are Strikes Necessary ? The recent cannery strike in California, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars' worth of perishable fruits and vegetables, demonstrated the extent to which the public interest is ignored by union monopolies. Canneries should not be able to close down at the height of the growing season, causing losses of perishable products that can never be recovered. Fruits and vegetables rotting in orchards and fields while millions around the world are going hungry shows that the power of unions to cause such a situation must be checked. Closer to home, the plumbers strike which will delay the completion of our cafeteria before school starts, should not happen The Meridian schools will have to double-team this fall, because this same strike will cause delays on the completion of their new building. We are seeing it more and more where teachers strike just before school is scheduled to open, and baseball players or football players strike just before their season opens. This smacks of blackmail, because each of these organizations has plenty of time between seasons to settle their contractural difficulties. In these enlightened years, surely there is a better way to settle wage agreements than through shutting down a plant, or school, or business, or whatever. Too many people are affected, and the backlash goes through our entire economy. Steel, or autos, or lumber, or building trades, or whatever gets a large raise, and the whole merry-go-round of price increases and inflation starts all over again. This drives up the cost of autos, housing, and newspapers, and nobody gains. Most of us make enough money if only we could keep down the cost of goods and services. Our farmers right now are caught in the middle of the price squeeze, where production is up, costs are up. and prices are down. We are basically against controls, but somewhere down the line it looks like Congress will be forced to put a control on wages. This would control other costs, and perhaps the economy would flatten out. We have become used to automatic increases, under the circumstances, they have been necessary. There is no way that any of us. from the social security recipient to the businessman, can survive without a constantly increasing paycheck to offset the constantly increasing inflation. That it has slowed down is of only relative satisfaction. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad to go back to the old ways, where our wage increases were based on promotions, increased productivity, or transfer to a better job. We worked three years on our first job before we got our first raise, and it was pretty exciting. But the economy was level (and poor), job* were a prized possession, and a promotion was cause for great satisfaction. We suspect that neither job*, nor automatic raises, nor good productivity are the satisfaction today that they were a few years back.

The Light Touch By Ernie Metcalf LETTERS TO EDITOR Editor. The Journal: Twice in the past eight months we have followed a loved one to the Nvssa Cemetery. Both times we almost had a car struck crossing the highway on Park Avenue. Each time we have tried to explain to the relatives from a distance why there was no police to direct traffic. This is an explanation hard to make when we here at home do not understand why. I’m sure there must be a logical explanation; I'm also very sure that it is no fault of the Nvssa Police Department. While making this statement may I take this opportunity to publicly thank officer Frank Pittz who came while off duty with no police car to direct traffic one way. As long as Nyssa has young men like Officer Pittz on the Police force, we cannot but have a good department. Thank You Mrs. Lyle Reece (Butch) 924 North Jrd. Nyssa. Oregon 97913 Editor, The Journal; Jason Boe's survey shows that the great majority of Oregon's elected officials want land use planning but that practically all of them arc seriously concerned about Land Conservation and Development Commis sion's system of government and want SB 100 and L.C.D.C. either repealed or drastically amended. L.C.D.C.'s dictatorial au thority to review (veto), amend, and administer local elected officials' ordinances, eliminate citizen's right to govern through local elected officials, must be repealed by the initiative measure on the November ballot. With the success of an initiative repeal vote, sec tions of previously enacted law allowing planning by cities and counties will remain. The only way to guarantee change is repeal of SB 100 and L.C.D.C. Repeal is the voice of Oregon citizens speaking to the Legislature. Any possible amendment by the Legislature is subject to veto by Governor Straub, particularly since Governor Straub has rejected every suggestion for amendment that has been submitted. In the name of land use planning L.C.D.C.'* opera tion is functioning outside the democratic process and has taken away the city and county officials decision mak ing vote, overrides local Planning Commissions and eliminates the citizens de sire* in local affairs. Over fifty mayors from large and small cities of Oregon join me in urging repeal of SB 100 and the Land Conservation and Develop ment Commisson.

Mighty Strange How much of this to coincidence? Both Lincoln and Kennedy were concerned with civil rights. Lincoln- was elected Presi dent in 1860; Kennedy in 1960. Both were slain on a Friday and in the presence of their wives. Both were shot from behind and in the head. Their successors, both named Johnson, were Sou- thern Democrat* and both were in the Senate. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was bom in 1839 and Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Booth and Oswald were Southerners favoring un popular ideas. Both Presidents' wive* lost children through death while in the White House. Lincoln's secretary, whose name was Kennedy, advised him not to go to the theater. Kennedy's secretary, whose name was Lincoln, advised him not to go to Dallas. John Wilke* Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and ran to a warehouse. Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theater. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each conta.n seven letter*. The names Andrew John son and Lyndon Johnson each contain thirteen letter*. Both assassin* were killed before being brought to a trial. Both Johnsons were op- posed for re-election by men whose names start with "G”.

HERE’S JUST SOME OF THE pageantry from last week's Shrine football game in Baker. Before the game, and again during halftime, all these flags were marched onto the field. Included were the 50-star flag of todav, the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration flag, the 1776 Ben Franklin's "Don't Tread on Me' the confederate flag and the Betsy Ros* flag The history of each was explained during the Halftime Show. Officials Say Grain Inspections Proper Officials of the State Executive Department and the State Department of Agri, culture denied in a joint statement any knowledge of illegal activities within the grain inspection service* of the State of Oregon. On August 3, wire service new* reports out of Washing ton. D.C., and Sacramento. California, told of federal investigator* finding evi dence of gratuititie* given and other improprieties in volving government-licensed grain inspectors in seven state*, including Oregon. Stafford Haniell. director of the State Executive De partment. and George Moose deputy director of the State Department of Agriculture, said, "We are aware that the grain inspection service* in all states, including Oregon, have been under investiga tion for the past three years, but we are unaware of any discovery of illegal activities on the part of Oregon grain inspectors. “We were told by U. S. Department of Agriculture official* in Washington. D. C„ that the Oregon Depart Conservative Baptist Church News Aaguet 22 • Sunday School, 9:45 Morning Worship.

There have been no report* from that team, however. “The new* report* imply serious improprieties in our grain inspection program, yet if such actionable offense* have been committed in the State of Oregon, it would seem that we would have been notified, The news items mention specific of fenses. but do not identify who or what agency spe cifically is involved in which crime. Until we are notified officially, we are going to continue under the assump lion that we still have a clean bill,” Hansell and Moose said. U O Graduates Two Nyssans Some 1,249 degree candi dates participated in Summer Commencement ceremonies at the University of Oregon August 14.

Alfalfa Commission Fails Alfalfa growers failed by less than six percentage point* to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority in a referendum to establish an Oregon Alfalfa Seed Commie» sion. The referendum repre sented the second attempt by grower* to establish an Oregon Alfalfa Commission, in 1975, a* in 1976, the referendum failed to obtain enough affirmative vote* by a slim margin Department officials said this week that 98 of the state's 316 producers (repre senting 3.430.000 pound* of the state's 6.153.000 pound* of production in 1975) had registered to vote in the referendum in late July. Of the 98 registered. 76 voted; 46 or 60.53 percent voted for; and 30 or 39.47 percent voted against the formation of a commission. To have passed required affirmative votes by two- thirds of those voting as long a* they represented more than one third of the previous year's production. Those voting for the com mission represented 47.94 percent, nearly half of the 1975 production. Journal Classifieds Bring Results!
