The sage advice is from the Idaho State Office of Energy, who through their director. Earl Adams, has released a series of articles on the subject of Energy Conservation. One of these days the crunch of more imports of foreign oil, the dwindling of our ability to keep up with pow er plants, and the limited supplies of fossil fuels will force us to consider other sources of energy. The bicycle is certainly a good form of local transportation. It promotes good health through exercise, poses no threat to the environment, eliminates traffic jams and provides inexpensive transportation that is incredibly efficient. Self-propelled on a bicycle, a human being becomes the most efficient of all moving creatures and machines-fifty times as efficient as the automobile. A true marvel of appropriate technology, using the strength of the most powerful muscles in the human body (thigh muscles) and relying on solar energy indirectly through food, the benevolent bicycle played a central role in the evolution of the ball bearing, the pneumatic tire, tubular construction, the automobile and the airplane. Since its initial development and immediate popularity, the bicycle has given way to the automobile as the preferred form of private transportation. But in a world with fewer resources and more people to share them, the bicycle's expanded use seems certain. The shift will shrink traffic lines, increase the supply of available fossil fuels, prolong the use of valuable iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. and produce longer, healthier human lives. The article states that a preliminary study in Idaho indicates that over the course of the 188-day school year, high school students traveling round trip to school by car consume roughly 500,006 barrels of oil. This is equivalent to the amount of energy used annually by 30% of the homes throughout the state. And Idaho is a low-populated state. Compare this to the other 49 sûtes, and think what a tremendous amount of fuel high school students alone use just driving their cars to school. Look at our own high school, where the parking lots are crowded with student cars, and there isn’t a bicycle rack in sight. Only a handful of these students should be driving to school, the rest should be walking, riding bikes, or taking the buses which are provided. This is an area where big changes could be made if the energy crunch that most authorities predict comes, and it will come. While we will continue to use our cars for long-distance travel, the bicycle will someday replace the car for urban travel. Considering the bicycle’s unique appropriâtness to the human body and to urban society, it will be surprising if modem man does not soon rediscover this practical, useful -and efficient machine. SEEDS FROM IvTHE SOWER I I By Michael A. Guido. Metter. Georgia Georj, A teacher asked her class, “Is the world round?” “My pop says it’s crooked,” said a boy. In many countries crime is the biggest business of all. It is increasing with such ra pidity that our city streets are turned into jungles of terror, mugging, rape and death. But trusted workers pilfer nearly four billion dollars ev ery year from their employers more than twice the amount of money and goods taken by all the nation's bank robbers, burglars, pickpockets and car thieves. Housewives, who do ninety per cent of the na tion's shopping, also do a- bout eighty-five per cent of the nation’s shoplifting. Our world is crooked, and the things that are wrong with the world are the things that are wrong with us as individ uals. Only God can make us straight. That is why one prayed in Psalm 144:11 and 14, “De liver me, that there be no complaining in our streets.” One translation renders this phrase, “no cries of distress in our public places.” Ano ther says, “no crime in our streets.” When men forsake godly principles, they invite devil ish problems. “Treasure Valley Hearing Aid Center" Service A Repair of most major brands.

The Journal: Congratulations to the Nyssa Sports Boosters’ team for winning the “super bowl’’ in the Optimist foot ball program. Nyssa defeated Vale 14 to 6 in the championship game. The coaches for these boys spent many hours working with the team and are to be commended. Dan Kite, Glen Marcum. Max Elguezabal and Larry Wilson did a superb job! Thanks too, to the Nyssa Sports Booster Club for making it possible to have a Nyssa team in the Optimist program. While winning is not the primary goal in a little league program, it certainly is gratifying. Again, thanks to the many people involved with this program for the youth. Everyone should be mighty proud of these boys. Sincerely. Larry Blackburn Editor. The Journal: I want to thank you for sending me a copy of your paper about my visit to your fair city of Nyssa. My wife and I enjoyed very much while we were there. 1 want to wish you and your paper the best this coming year. I also want to thank your paper for the publicity you give to the Nyssa Aerie. There aren’t too many news papers that give Fraternal Orders any publicity at all. Sincerely yours. Robert Meacham State President Fraternal Order of Eagles Portland. Oregon. Editor. The Journal: I'm viewing Measure 13 on Malheur County's November 2nd ballot with mixed emo tion. This measure wishes to establish a tax base for TVCC. The tax base will be 6% more than what was voted on June 29. How come TVCC feels that they can get by with only a 6% increase next year when last year we fought to lower their pro jected increase for Malheur County from nearly 20% to 14% and finallv accepted it at 8.8%’ Is "only the 6% increase" the sugar that officials hope will pass the base? That amount seems mo dest enough. But when I look back to seven years ago and compare the figure to be voted on. $910.964. with the amount voted on then. $323.304, it's too much. It has nearly tripled. Ham burger is still the same price as then. Your salaries ha ven't even doubled in that time. Housing has almost doubled. But what about prices for farm commodities? Or food prices in the store? They're high, but not twice as high. Yet TVCC has tripled their budget and it's not due to enrollment.

The State Legislature is being asked this year to support community colleges' operating cost at 48% (up from 28%) to lighten the taxpayers burden. But if we vote ’’yes’’ on TVCC tax base.
