Letters To The Editor
Letter to the Editor and
Senator Bob Packwood.
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.

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.
Sincerely,
Barbara Ulrey,

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
