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 Box 24 Gold Beach, Oregon 97444 By Freida Hedgecock 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.

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. M.V.
