PAGE 2 -- THE DAYTON TRIBUNE -- DAYTON, OREGON -- THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1982
To the Editor,
Today is the beginning of Private Property Week.
Yesterday an article in a newspaper stated that Gov.
Vic Atiyeh has proclaimed April 18-24 as Private
Property Week in Oregon. The Governor said, "A
cornerstone of American freedom is the right to private
ownership of real property. It is here that the in-
dividuals who seek to better themselves can invest the
Couple tour California,
Nevada on short trip
fruits of their labors in land, industry, commercial
enterprises or a home to raise their families."
The Governor's statement is true. What is equally
important is what he did not say. In my opinion the
Governor has, in the last four years, done more to
destroy this "cornerstone of American freedom" than
any other man in the United States.
I do not speak from heresy. My rights of personal
property ownership have been stolen, and the fruits of
my labors of a lifetime are largely gone. (Thousands of
Oregonians are in the same boat). The system of steal-
ing these values has been promulgated and condoned
by the Governor with his use of the LCDC. Your readers
are entitled to the facts, not just platitudes issued by
the Governor.
Sincerely,
Brownie Coldiron

Ivan and I took a little vacation starting on 28th of
March and arrived horn on April 7. We had quite an
experience on our trip. We were on a bus tour (three
days) to Reno, then we left the tour on Wednesday and
were to go to San Francisco to visit our son, but had a
little trouble getting there as the big snow storm
through the Sierras was at that time and we were
stranded in Lake Tahoe a day and night and had to go
back to Reno next day (where they got the highway
open to there), took a shuttle bus to Reno Airport and
flew out. Had to land in Santa Rosa instead of San
Francisco, but had a good time despite the incon-
venience. Got to ride the "trolley" car in San
Francisco, visited the Muir Woods, forest preserve
(state) of redwoods. They are the tallest trees in the
world. Visited many nice shops at Pier 39 on the Bay
which was fun; the weather man wasn't very coop-
erative most of the time, but we enjoyed our trip, and
was it nice to get home, away from the snow in the
mountains.
INFLATION REARS AN UGLY HEAD
My dictionary defines inflation as, "An abrupt
increase in the supply of money and credit over
available goods, resulting in a marked and persistent
rise in prices." So we see this ugly monster running
rampant world-wide and it is evident our economists
are totally ignorant of causes and/or remedies.
Because prices depend largely upon DEMAND, why
not buy only those things we absolutely need and then
buy in amounts commensurate with our pocket book. A
punster once said, "The best way to double your money
is to fold it once and put it back in your pocket." In the
same vein a miser explained why he was never broke,
"I live by my theme song which is, 'Let the rest of the
world go BUY'."
Few people recognize the difference between re-
cession and depression. In ~, recession we tighten up
our belts. In a depression we have no belt to tighten.
Labor leaders vow they have nothing to do with in-
flation. I like to make a comparison of their efforts to
Progress Report: Deregulation
Deregulation of the telephone Industry is not something that might
happen in the distant future -- it's already here. Continental Telephone
of the Northwest customers have already seen some of the changes
brought about by deregulation. For example, many customers don't
lease phones from the telephone company any longer, but buy their
own and, In many Instances, hook them up. People who currently lease
phones may continue to do so; however, new single-party customers
and those changing existing service will be required to buy their own
equipment after January, 1983.
TO date, the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) rulings on
customer-owned equipment have only applied to those with single-
party service. Party-line customers are still required to lease their
equipment from the phone company due to technical problems that
may cause Interruption of service to other people on the line.
An Item that's been in the news a lot lately Is the U.S. Justice Depart-
ment's agreement with American Telephone and Telegraph Company
(AT&T). Under this agreement, AT&T will eventually divest Itself entirely
of its local telephone service operations. It's too early to tell how this will
affect Continental operations or local service rates. We will continue to
De your local phone company, however, and will work hard to improve
service and keep rates as low as possible.
Continental has prepared for the new competitive environment by
opening Phone Fairs In many serving areas. The Phone Fair Is a con-
venient store where you can look at the many models available, pick the
right phone for that special place In your home, and, In most cases, take
It with you the same day.
New technology brings many changes with it, and we are dedicated to
providing Improved service and preparing for the future.

keep up with inflation to that of a puppy dog "chasing
his tail." We know that only when puppy lies 6~ ~:~ ~ -J
does he get his tail between his teeth, but union leaders
will not lie down. Unless our government places a
bridle on union powers SOON they will bring this nation
to its proverbial knees.
Inflation cannot be legislated nor destroye~d by
mandatory measures. It is a problem which demands
unified action by all the people. Someone once made
this comment, "It ain't the individual, nor the army as
a whole; it's the everlasting team-work of every
bloomin' soul." That's how we beat inflation.
