Dear Senator Pactwood: Thank you for your reply to my inquiry regarding your position relative to the condition of the American Sugar Industry. it is my intention to make your words on the subject known to all growers within my area of responsibility, at the same time 1 hope to stimulate some of them to express their feelings to you on the subject. I don't believe very many of them will share your views; certainly 1 do not. You talk of free. markets, free enterprise, and sur pluses. Ideally, all trading would be done on a free market. Not only sugar, but all commodities should be permitted to flow in market channels unencumbered by regulations or other restric tions. The fact is though, that virtually all major sugar producing countries have their own sugar program and policies which alter what might otherwise be a free market system. As for our free enterprise system, let me ask you this Why is it OK for the Government to tell a farmer what he must pay his labor, how he must equip his machinery and buildings to meet OSHA standards, what he may and may not use to treat diseases and insect pests, where and where not he may run his irrigation water etc., etc., and expect him to meet this myriad of regulations without any as surance that he will realize any return for his time and labor? You stated in your letter that stopping imported sugar would encourage more far mers to grow sugar beets. You better look at that as an argument for. rather than against limiting imports. If we don't do something to make it possible for sugar producers to realize a profit we won't have a sugar industry in Oregon next year. This year growers in the Nyssa district are planting only 15.000 acres of beets. This is a ftt tty from the 27 to 30 thousand acres we need to keep this factory on a paying basis Those farmers who are planting beets are doing so with the hope that something will be done in Washington to alleviate the cost-price squeeze which exists at the present time. If nothing is done this year there won’t be any beets planted around here next year. I believe that we have had enough experience to know that it is not smart to get ourselves into a position where we depend totally on foreign suppliers to furnish us with bask commodities. Our foreign trading partners cannot realistically expect us to put ourselves in a position whkh leaves us without bargaining power. In fact I'm sure they would regard us as fools to do so. Is there anything unethical about the U.S. producing one-half of its own sugar needs? There certainly is not; nor woultj it be unethical to let the rest of the world know that we're going to follow that kind of policy with regard to any other com modity whkh we feel is bask to our own well being. I hope you will be realistic in evaluating measures that could be taken to straighten out the problems we face today. Sincerely Yours. Larry Hatch Editor. The Journal: President James Carter Washington. D.C. Dear President Carter: Your energy message and program was a disppoint- ment. There are only two wavs to produce energy. One is by gov.Tnment programs, and the other is by Free Men using the free enterprise system. From the beginning of this nation until recently we have had the most energy at the cheapest price of any nation in the world. Everyone knows that go vernment is the most ineffi cient. ineffective, expensive way to produce anything. Why do you want to socialize the ownership, the produc tion. and the control of the most important property we have-our energy. When go vernment produces, sets the price, allocates to us. and tells us how much energy we can use we are no longer a free people as our Founding Fathers wanted us to be. The idea that energy belongs to the government for the supposed good of all the people is a Marxist philosophy and is no more true than the idea that land and water and labor and business and profits are all property of the government. Please, as a Christian man and as a good man that many say that you are. consider the dangerous proportions of your energy program. Can't you see that our shortage, if we have any. is caused by government control, price settings, and bungling. A gallon of gas costs less than half of the price of a gallon of root beer and is less than a gallon of water in some places. Free Up the free enterprise system and we will have plenty of energy for all and at a price that we can afford. Yours truly. D.A. Erickson 1131 S.W. 6th Ave., Ontario. Oregon 97914 Editor. The Journal. The Walk-a-Thon is over for another year and thanks to a small percentage of our walkers, it may very well be the last walk Nyssa will have... It is not easy to write this as 1 don't like to criticize people. 1 am so proud of the merchants and the people who sponsored the walkers to help us make all this money for such a good cause. The walkers who were honest about their miles walked and didn't do any littering or damage can hold your heads up high and be proud of yourselves and know that I am really proud of you too. You walkers that littered all over the place and cheated on your mileage or did damage to the farmers by cutting across the fields, shutting head gates and damaging syphon tubes should be ashamed of your selves and your parents should be ashamed for not teaching you better. I know the names of some boys who damaged the sy phon tubes, threw rocks (in juring one boy pretty badly; and cut across the fields. These boys are disqualified from any prizes, including the movie. Unfortunately 1 don't know all the names so everyone can not be punished The ones being punished the most are all the little children born with birth defects that you were walking for. If we have to discon tinue our contributions they won't get th< help that they so di »jx ratefv need I also want to apologize to the farmers as they have put up with this every year and it just seems to get worse. 1 don't know why people feel they have to destroy things to have fun. If 1 have anything to say about next year, the walk will be conducted under very strict supervision with people walking in supervised groups. There will be no prizes offered. We will have peopi« who want to walk for one purpose-- to make money for the March of Dimes. I would prefer to have them walk five miles out and five miles back, for a total of ten miles. This would not tire everyone out so much. This way Nyssa and Adrian could be responsible for our people and Ontario could be responsible for theirs. I would really appreciate other people’s thoughts and ideas on this and 1 am very serious when 1 say "h must be changed or we shouldn't even have a walk." I am proud of the ones who deserve the credit and I see no reason why we can't have a walk next year if enough people are willing to work with me to see it is done right.

The Hiding Place, a true story filmed in Holland and other European locations, is based on the experiences of Corrie ten Boom. who. with her father, sister, and bro ther. provided refuge for countless Jewish families. "CORRIE was produced to give people who have seen The Hiding Place or read her many best-selling books an opportunity to hear her share many of her memories about her life in Holland, her family, and her lifetime of service to others." Bliss added that the film "offers a great lesson in the perserverance of a personal faith in a very dark and trying period of world history. Corrie ten Boom, now in her eighties, has a tremendous vitality, a deep spiritual committment, and a pro found love for her fellow man We believe we have succeeded in transmitting a part of her zest, personality, and source of strength through this film ¿tig OBITUARIES Festival Slated Second class postage paid at Nyssa.
