PAGE 2 -- THE DAYTON TRIBUNE -- DAYTON, OREGON - THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1982
BLIC FORUM...
To the editor:
I read with great interest :he front page article of
the News Registir on December 15, 1982, concerning
the slide situation that damaged Dayton's sewer
outfall line. The article contained several statements
that I feel need to be clarified. The statement
"Engineers said the waterline broke because the
contractors Don and Lotis Construction of Lafayette,
failed to put anchor rods on couplings that connected a
portion of the mainline and that transition couplings
were not blocked," is not correct.
During the construction of the waterline normal and
acceptable construction practices were used. The
coupling that failed was installed similar to other
couplings used on the project, which have been
working properly. For some unexplainable reason, a
gasket on the coupling failed, causing a leak. Upon
repairing the coupling, I could not detect that any pipe
movement had occurred. Normally tie rods are not
used on couplings unless specifically called for. The
plans and specifications, as well as the City Engineer
who observed the construction, did not require or
notify me that tie rods would be required in this
particular case. As far as thrust blocking the
"transition coupling", a tie rod was used instead and
this was observed by the engineer. I never received
notice from the engineer that this was unacceptable
nor was I ever told to place a thrust block in addition to
the tie rod. Don and Lotis Construction, when notified
of the water leak, made repairs immediately and at no
expense to the City.
The statement "City officials suspect the water spill
could have caused the slide," is in my opinion, highly
improbable. Water from the coupling leak was
sprayed almost directly back to the river, 75 feet away
from the slide area. What I think likely occurred, was
a combination of heavy rainfall saturating the trench
backfill and rising river levels eroding away the base
of the slide area, causing the saturated trench backfill
to slide towards the river.
We take pride in our work and always have. But we
feel the residents of Dayton need to hear our side of
the situation rather than depending on unsubstantiat-
ed statements as appeared in the Dec. 15th article in
the News Register.
Respectfully,
Lotis R. Hanks, President
Don & Lotis Construction Co.
Lafayette, Ore.
issue isn't over yet, and I'll continue to work against a
pay raise for Members of Congress at this time, when
so many of my constitutents are out of work, running
out of unemployment benefits, and with so many
others living in fear of losing their jobs. Sincerely,
Los AuCoin, Member of Congress
Hopewell SDA Church
Pastor Paul Haynes gave the sermon during church
hour Dec. 18. Mrs. Roger Swaren, pastor's wife from
Hopewell Evangelical Community Church, was the
one who gave the special music before the preaching.
The Joe Pearles Quiet Sound group sang for the
closing song. They also had two musical numbers for
the Sabbath School program. It was Sabbath School
Improvement Sabbath and Mission Spotlight pictures
and script given by Harry Christianson.
A good neighbor Community Service Award was
given to Pastor Roger Swaren at the opening of church
service. This award is given to the one who has done
the most for our community the past year. This is a
tribute to selfless service beyond the call of duty in
helping others in our community. Pastor Swaren is the
minister for the Hopewell Community Church.
Fellowship potluck dinner was held in the Junior
Room building following the service a large group
stayed to enjoy food and fellowship.
The quarterly 13th Sabbath program will be held on
Dec. 25th in Sabbath School. The offering is for the
Africa-Indian Ocean Division. A new Adventist Uni-
versity of Central Africa for French speaking African
countries in Rwanda, Central African Union.

With Christmas just a day away I want to take time
and say thank you for all the gifts of encouraging words
I have received about my column. Christmas is a time
for giving, and I thank you for the encouragement you
have given to me.
As we think of Christmas it is a time of giving. Not
just giving gifts to loved ones. This tradition is simply a
way of remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
God gave us the first and the greatest gift when He sent
His Son Jesus to be born in Bethlehem. We are all
familiar with the words of the angels to the shepherds
that first Christmas night, "Do not be afraid; for
behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall
be for all the people; for today in the City of David there
has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

This year as you give and receive gifts remember that
we do so because God sent His Son to be our Savior.
Take time and reflect on this. Take time to give God
thanks for sending a Savior to rescue us from the
penalty of our sin. Christmas is a beautiful time to
reaffirm your committment to Jesus Christ. Or, if you
have never pu.t your faith in Jesus there could be no
better time than at this Christmas season.
God bless you all this Christmas season and may the
true meaning of Christmas live in your hearts this year.

you keep Christmas all the coming year
In ~ilver threads of peace, in joy and cheer;
May you be one whose heart will never lose
The generosity, but rather choose
To share with all mankind the truth and right
God gave the world on that first Christmas night.

We want to thank the many Dayton folk who
remembered my 100th birthday by sending their cards
and best wishes.
All of my seven children came to help me celebrate.
Relatives came from Georgia, Kansas, Texas, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon. On Nov. 20th, 46 gathered
at the OSU Peavy Aboretum Lodge for a special days
of celebration. It was so enjoyable and wonderful to
see so many. I was very honored.

To the Editor:
I'm damned mad at the way my vote in opposition to
the Congressional pay raise has been distorted and
misrepresented by the news wire services and others.
l am writing so your readers can clearly understand
what happened, and why, in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
By law, all Members of Congress would have been
given a $17,300 pay increase if the House had taken no
action, As a Member of Congress opposed to any pay
increase, I had opportunities on two consecutive votes
to strike a blow at the size of the increase, and then try
to kill the whole kit and kaboodle.
On the first vote, the choice was between $17,300 or
$9,000. I voted to lower the raise to the lower figure,
limiting the damage if, God forbid, the attempt to kill
the raise failed entirely.
The second vote was on the question of killing the
pay raise or leaving it at the $9,000 level. I voted to kill
it, just as l've voted against every pay raise since I've
been in Congress. Unfortunately, that attempt failed,
on atie vote of 208-208.
That's the chronology, and my strategy, 0~ the
votes. If the wire services can't understand that, then
they belong in a strait-jacket. More important, the
