SUGAR
One tiling 1, as an editor, want to stay away from, is
sensationalism and negative news. 1 hope what I say in this
column will not be taken as negative reporting.
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.
