A Time to Rejoice
In the New Beginnings
Everywhere Around Us

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 This has all been replaced by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.

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

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!
