The Amalgamated Sugar Company has been in Nyssa for forty years and has not missed a campaign and will not miss this year’s campaign, although it will be smaller than normal. As many of you are aware, the sugar market is in very poor condition due primarily to an overabundance of sugar world wide. At present, legislation has been introduced to authorize some government support of the sugar program. However, with cost of production what it is today, this proposed legislation is not enough. The way things stand at this time, the American sugar industry is in danger. Unless something is done, and soon, the possibility exists that Americans could become dependent on others for sugar, just as we are for oil. There is much speculation as to the answer to the problem, however, most people seem to agree that some sort of import quota would be the most effective. I’m not going to profess to bv smart enough to know the answer, but as individuals we should let our Senators and Congressmen know how we feel and that we care, especially in our area where, directly or indirectly, the sugar industry does affect our lives. Write your Congressman or Senator today. I'm going to. What is It? After eleven years in the produce business, primarily the selling and handling of onions, can you imagine my surprise when I found out I made a mistake in the identification of onion seed. Two weeks ago on my way to Ontario in the Cairo Junction area, I spotted a beautiful field of seed onions. Making a mental note of this 1 returned a couple days later with my camera and shot up a roll of film on this beautiful field. That not being enough I put one of the pictures on the front page with the question, “What is it?” See page six. There I went on to say it was a field of onion seed. Well, my bubble was burst when Harvey Wilmot came in and explained to me it was not a field of onion seed but was LEEK. To Harvey and the Desert Seed Company, I apologize along with ail the readers. However, there is some consolation, according to Webster, the Leek is related to the onion so I wasn’t completely wrong. From this experience, I also learned that the leek is the floral emblem of Wales. Editor, The Journal: The dust has finally settled on the 1977 version of the Oregon Legislature. Some good things were accomp lished and some bad things slipped by. And many things were left undone. But throughout the second longest legislative session ever, the people of Eastern Oregon could be justly proud of the job performed by Representative Denny Jones. Few lawmaker exemplify the ideals of hard work, dedication and common se nse that were exhibited by Denny. He was firmly com mitted to representing the people and to helping them in any way he could. He made many difficult decisions--decisions that were sometimes contrary to the majority. But he was not afraid to stand up and be counted, and in the face of various pressures, held true to the courage of his convictions. People may not always agree with the legislature, or individual legislators, but in Denny the people of Eastern Oregon have a lawmaker with integrity and understanding- one with whom 1 have been proud to be associated this past legislative session. Sincerely, Roger Martin Minority Leader Oregon House of Representatives. • • • Editor the Journal: Robert Straub Governor, Sate of Oregon Salem, Oregon. Dear Gov.
