A Time to Rejoice In the New Beginnings Everywhere Around Us 1 George J. Zueger It s Good to be Baek! Almost seven years ago my wife Gen and I drove up Main Street in Nyssa for the first time. We were immediately impressed by the friendly people and the prosperous area. After spending the past six years in the Chicago area, it was a wonderful feeling to be back in a small town. Walking down the street and having people greet you on a first name basis seemed rather strange but very good. It was during this time that mv interest in the newspaper business was rekindled and 1 hoped that perhaps 1 could re-enter the field as the publisher of a good weekly in this area. After an absence of thirteen years the hope of that opportunity is now a reality. In that period of time there have been major changes, from letterpress to offset, no more linotypes, ludlows. casting boxes, trimsaws, routers and locking up the forms. This has all been replaced by compugraphic typesetters and cameras. The end result is a much finer product, but going into the backshop isn’t quite the same. As in most industries there have been significant changes in the last thirteen years. This is progress, needed but not always appreciated, without which no industry can survive. In the early sixties there was much speculation as to whether or not the weekly newspaper would survive—they have and outnumber dailies about ten to one and their future looks promising. About the same time some of these weeklies were in trouble so were the towns in which they were published. Again, through progress they survived. The Journal has been in constant publication for seventy plus years, and should be good for another seventy. In fact, I'm betting my future on it. - We have lived and worked in some of the largest metropolitan areas in the country and 1 can't think of a better place to live or work than right here in the Nyssa area. The Nyssa Gate City Journal, under the direction of the Nedrys and the former owners, has giown steadily over the years and we plan to continue with basically the same policies. We feel very fortunate that the present staff of Pat Savage. Ruth Klinkenberg and Lucille Callahan will be staying on with us to provide us not only with their fine services but also their knowledge of the community. My dad. Bud Peterson, is going to be on hand to assist in whatever way he can and his many years of experience in the newspaper and commercial printing field will provide a vast reservoir of knowledge and experience. Dirick and Margaret, we wish you a long and happy retirement. Last week a local merchant welcomed me to Mam Street. 1 want to thank him—I'm happy to be a part of Main Street and the community. Editor. The Journal: In recent weeks there have been several news articles and Letters to the Editor in various Oregon newspapers concerning the recent pay raise for Members of Con gress. Because some confu sion seems to exist regarding my stand on the matter. 1 would like to make my position clear to your readers I opposed the proposed salary increases because, as did the majority of Oregon residents. I felt such raises were inappropriate in both timing and amount. I am on record as having opposed every pay increase that has been proposed since I en tered the Senate in 1967, and I voted to block these pay increases, as well, when the matter was brought to a vote on February 2. More recently, on March 11.1 voted to bar Members of Congress from receiving any cost-of-living increases that may be granted to federal employees in October. This legislation. S.964. is now before the House of Repre sentatives for their consi deration. I have indicated my support for salary increases for Federal judges should they be considered aepa rately. Thank you for this oppor- tunity to explain my position on these issues. Sincerely. Mark O. Hatfield United States Senator Hearing Help America's most popular in-the-ear aid Rosary for George Joseph Zueger. 54. Adrian, who died of natural causes.

ÌI SEEDS FROM IVTHE SOWER K man had been on a drinking merry-go-round and was driving the wrong way on a one-way street. He was then stopped by a policeman who demanded, “Where do you think you’re going?” “I don’t know,” he ana- wered. "But I’m too late. Everybody’s coming back.” Disregarding the signs on a one-way street may cause an accident. But more tragic are the consequences of tak ing the wrong way in life. There are only two way*- the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. We may choose as we please. We can travel on the way to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church News Adrian Presbyterian Community Church the last gray memories of Sunrise Service United Methodist Church News OuMo, heaven or on the way to hell. Our Lord said, "Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.” Many take the broad way. Looking for freedom, they find fetters. Desiring life, they find death. Psalm 146:9 says, “The way of the wicked He turns upside down.” Remember that everything goes wrong with the person who goes wrong!
