TO THE EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
1 do object to the over
heated and somewhat dis
torted way Carter and Com
pany are marketing the
treaty.
First, they launch their
campaign long before the
text is available, thereby
giving them a chance to
dominate the debate by their
explanation of objectives and
principles, minus discussion
of arrangements
to attain
those objectives and apply
those principles.
Secondly . 1 cannot buy the
argument that the military
importance of the Canal has
diminished significantly be
cause we now have a
“two-ocean Navy' and be
cause large carriers and
supertankers cannot
go
through it.
We don’t have a 'two-
ocean Navy' —what we have
is one Navy split between two
oceans. 1 am surprised that
even the Carter Crowd would
strain the truth this badly.
Moreover, those large car
riers are few in number and
the need for the Canal for the
rest of the Navy in time of

war in both oceans, is great
indeed.
You and I differ on the
wisdom of turning over the
Zone to Panamanian juris
diction. 1 see this as the way
to defuse tension realistically
feeling that this is the prin
cipal issue that inflames
Panamanians passions. Do
ing so alters our outmoded
colonial stance for whatever
value that will bring in the
amorphous court of world
opinion.
However, once we agreed
to grant the Panamanians
jurisdiction over the Zone, we
need not have been as gene
rous and forthcoming as 1
fear the text of the treaty will
show us to have been. For
example, why so much com
pensation on top of the
tremendous physical plant
they get in the Canal
property and on top of the big
input to their economy
through our presence—some
Slb5 million a year......?
The angry roars of dis
approval are not going to
fade away. Americans in all
walks of life can recognize
grandstanding press agentry
of the type the Carter Crowd
is conducting in an effort to
sell to the Senate a bill of
goods the people of this
country won’t buy. There
may be enough suckers in the
Senate to go for this garbage.
But those who vote for or any
other treay with Panama are
guaranteeing their defeat
when they come up for re
election
Americans are not going to
sit still for amputation of a
part of the United States to
appease a mouse that roars.
The peanut burs ted with
power, so the mouse came
forth.

Leroy A. Wild
Leroy Augustus Wild, re
sident of Nyssa for over 40
years, passed away. Friday.
December 23.1977 at the age
of 69 years and seven months
rene by the Rev. William
Russell and the Rev. Ellis
Martin Interment was in the;
Nyssa cemetery
He was bom May 28, 1908
at Oakwood, Oklahoma-the
second child of Ed and Ethel
Wild. While he was still very
young, the family moved to a
farm near Plainville, Kansas,
and later to Alco, Kansas,
where he was educated.
He also taught in that
vicinity for two years, then
became manager of the grain
elevator at Tasco. Kansas for
four years. It was while he
was at Tasco. he became
victim of a disease greatly
dreaded in those days-tuber-
culosis. In 1933 he returned
home to doctor and regain his
health. It was an "uphill
struggle" which resulted in
the loss of his sight in less
than two years.
Because drought condi
tions were so unfavorable to
farming. Roy and his parents
made a decision to sell their
Kansas home. They settled in
Nvssa. Oregon and opened
an OK Rubber Welders
business in 1937, the same
time as the beginning of the
Owyhee Irrigation Project.
He went to The Dalles.
Oregon, for further medical
help and numerous surgeries
curing his tuberculosis. He
then worked with his father
in the tire business, even-
He married Georgia Nkhol
November 22. 1952 and she
then retired from her pro
fession of teaching school
and helped him in his
business.
Roy had always been an
avid supporter of fellow busi
ness associates. He was a
director in the Nyssa Lion's
Club and recently received
his 30-year membership pin.
He was chosen "O.K. Man
of the Year" at the National
Congress of OK Rubber
Welders in Denver in 1954.
Later that same year, al
though not a member, he
was a recipient of an award
and commendation from the
Fraternal Order of Eagles to
a person in the community
who demonstrated perseve
rance and courage in over
coming a physical handicap
He was a member of the
Church of the Nazarene and
was the last "Charter Mem
ber" of the Nyssa church
residing in the community.
He is survived by his wife.

long time resident of Nyssa
passed away Tuesday, De

Many industrial investments help the economy.
would generate not only a
greater number of such jobs,
but also an equal number of
future ones. The five million
capital goods workers are
not involved in the calcula
tion because they would be
employed in either case and
the same is true for con
struction labor, another
three million workers.
The Du Pont Company
made a study of its pol
lution control investment. If
the laws remain unchanged,
by 1985, Du Pont will be
required to invest more thsn
$3 billion in response to just
three existing or anticipated
water, air and noise laws or
regulations. That sum is
equal to a whopping 30
percent of its total pro
jected construction expendi-
turn over that period. In
addition, these investments
would eventually involve ad
ditional operating costa of
some 81 billion each and
every year.
There would be no com
plaint if the projected 83
billion would actually buy
commenaurate
advance
men ta in public benefits.
The study shows, however,
that this will not be the
case—not by a shockingly
wide margin
Of the total of more than
83 billion by 1985, the
company report estimates
that leas than 25 percent is
certain to result in identi
fied benefits that would not
otherwise be achieved in
deaner air, cleaner water or
improved worker protection
against noise.

What Cost Pollution Control?
In the United States econ
omy of the 1970s there are
approximately 22 million
production
workers,
of
whom 17 million produce
consumer goods and 5 mil
lion produce capital goods.
In
addition
there
are
another 17 million workers
involved in transport and
wholesale and retail trade.
In other words, it takes one
person to distribute the con
sumer goods made by one
worker on a farm or in a
factory, on the average.
However, a worker whose
job is operation or mainten
ance of a pollution control
facility required by the
government, has no “op
posite number” in distribu
tion because there is no
product to sell.
Economists used nation
wide data to compare in
vestment in pollution
control with investment in
consumer goods manufac
turing. They concluded that
a given sum invested in
equipment for consumer
goods manufacture creates
more than double the num
ber of jobs than the same
sum invested in pollution
control equipment.
While a million dollar pol
lution control facility could
generate a certain number
of operating joba, that same
million dollars invested in,
say, paper-making machines

Ho* do you say "The
truth ahall make you free**
in Swahili? Or "The Lord is
my shepherd .. .** in Bur
mese? Or "Go ye into all
the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature" in
one of the Quechua Indian
dialects of Peru? A large
chunk of the American
Bible Society's work is put
ting phrases from the Scrip
tures into the languages
people speak in their every
day lives—translating entire
Bibles and New Testaments,
and then getting these Scrip
tures into people's hands.
Today, at least one book
of the Bible has been trans
lated into more than 1,600
languages and dialects, in an
effort to meet the demand
for the Word of God at the
furthermost ends of the
earth. Yet there are still
millions who want a Bible,
but cannot afford one of
their own.
One way of making sure
that God's Word is received
by everyone who wants it la
through the Society's Bible-
a-Month Club. It's an un
usual kind of dub, a book
club in reverse where you
don't get, you five a book.
You donate $3.00 each
month, which defrays the
cost of sharing the Scrip
tures
