Bicycle Most Efficient Machine
One solution to the energy crisis is not the future creation of
some incredible new technology, but the expanded use of a
century-old machine-the bicycle.
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.

Sarah Ruth
Editor. 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.

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.

ducted Saturday at the LDS

was at the Nyssa Cemetery.
Mrs. Bunn was born

1925 in Salt Lake Temple.
They came from Lanark. Bear

1937. In 1945, they moved to
Nyssa where they were
partners in the Nyssa Furni
ture Store.
She was an active member
of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints serving
as president of the primary in
the Ontario ward and later of
the Nyssa First ward and
after that as president of the

She was preceded in death
by one daughter, two bro
thers and a sister.
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. November 2. then our
tax there will only increase.
We will be saddled with a tax
base figure we can’t roll
back. It's there permanently
and each year it will
automatically increase 6%
over what it was the year
before without you or I even
voting on it while state
support mav nearly double
for TVCC.
Please go to the polls and
vote November 2.
Sincerely yours,
Adriana Kunkel
