ATHLETIC HONORS,
ARE GIRL SCOUTS
Two Nyssa girls, both leaders in
Girl Scout activities, are making
reputations in college athletic cir
cles.
Miss Pearl Williams, graduate of
Nyssa high school in 1930, has
pledged Phi Deta Pi, national
women's physical education frater
nity at Utah State college in Salt
Lake. She is vice-president of the
women's athletic association. She
teaches swimming at the college to
earn expense money. Miss Williams
is the daughter of Mr, and Mrs, H.
B. Williams of Kingman Kolony
community near town.
Miss Katherine Leuck made the
junior first team of the intra-mural
hockey squad at the University of
Oregon. Last week she was one of
four girls in the physical education
department selected to put on a
tumbling exhibition during the
"Health Week” program.
Frank T. Morgan, secretary of the
Owyhee Irrigation District, has been
appointed a member of the committee
from Oregon which will attend the
governors’ conference in Salt Lake City
next week for the purpose of aiding
and stimulating the cause of reclama
tion. Mr. Morgan received his appoint
ment from Marshall N. Dana, of Port
land, chairman of the committee and
long a friend of the Owyhee and Vale
projects in this county.
“ I shall be pleased if Mr, Morgan is
able to attend this conference,” said Mr.
Dana. "He is unusually prepared to
represent our real interests in reclama
tion."
Other members of the committee,
which will represent the Oregon Recla
mation Congress, are E. C. Van Petten
of Ontario and Dr. W. L. Powers of Cor

Inspirational talks on the work of the

made by state and district officers at
the joint meetng of the Ontario and
Nyssa Post here Monday evening, but
none were more stirring than the plea
of Mrs. Tom Lowe, gold star mother, for

many eyes and recalled the fact that
war is more than military music.

Leslie M. Scott, chairman of the Ore
gon highway commission, said Monday
that improvement and maintenance of
highways are involved in automobile
license cuts, and advised a cut of not
more than one-third so that curtailed
construction and proper maintenance
might be carried on. Meagre revenues,
Scott said, would stop work, curtail em
ployment, hazard property taxpayers
with highway debt obligations and ex
pose the state to demands for further
bond issues to match federal aid.
Mr. Scott is very much opposed to
| more than one-third reduction in the
| license fee.
j Scott emphasized the matter of fixed
charges which confront the highway
commission each year. The sum in

SCENES AT
C. A. BETTS TAKES MOVIE SHOTS
OF HEAVY WORK AT DAM, DEDI
CATION CELEBRATION AND TUN
NEL CONSTRUCTION.
The big bucket which placed concrete
and steel in Owyhee dam has been still
ed five months, the great cableway lies
in the bottom of the river and the head
tower is no more. A few months ago,
humans marveled at the precision of
machinery. They saw one man guide
controls in a cabin dizzily suspended
from the cableway, and direct all oper
ations of the gigantic task. Those spec
tacular scenes were scenes of yesterday.
Today the dam stands completed, the
highest in the world, but the thrilling
scenes of construction have not passed
entirely into the background of oblivion.
For the purpose of recording them, C.
A. Betts, member of the Owyhee engin
eering force, purchased a midget movie
eamera and has two reels of Owyhee
pictures which are attracting mu.-h
local interest.
The movies include the dedication
ceremonies in which Ray Lyman Wil
bur, secretary of the interior, and Dr.
Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclama
tion, took part. They show the arrival of
the one and only passenger train at
Owyhee dam which brought thousands
of people to the dedication. They pic
ture the beautiful trees, yards and
homes which were built up at the camp
by the government engineers who re
sided at Owyhee several years.
Even dark tunnel pictures, difficult to
take in the gloomy heart of the earth,
were added to the Owyhee movies by
Mr. Betts. At the end of the second
reel is depicted some of the later work
on the project such as the excavation
of the North Canal by the Tertehng
company dragline.
Mr. Betts has the only movies of
Owyhee dam construction. They are
small, about four by two feet in size. A
light colored blind served as the screen
when they were run off Friday night
for Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Morgan
and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. MeLing at the
Betts home in Ontario. Opening the
program was a reel which showed Felix
teaching a little golf.
The movies will be presented at the
Ontario Kiwanis club program next
week.
OWYHEE SCHOOL IS
GIVING PLAY FRIDAY
Patrons of Owyhee school will present
the comedy, “Two Days to Marry,”
Friday evening, December 2, at the
schoolhouse. The seven characters are
Kennetli McDonald, the darkey; Bob
Morfitt, a wifeless heir; Rex Walters, a
lawyer; Helen Clement, Emily Jane
Pink, black as ink; Dorothy Morfitt,
widow by choice; Alta Bradley, sweet
young thing; Fred Pullen, a millionaire.
[Miss Bernice Dunn, Owyhee teacher, is
director.
Miss Dunn says the comedy is a laugh
from start to finish and quite as good as
the excellent play which was presented
last year by Owyhee school. Admission
is 25 and 10 cents.

MOTION DENIED IN

The Oregon supreme court handed
down an opinion Tuesday which denies
the motion of John A. Oliver of Jordan
Valley to dismiss the appeal of the Jor
dan Valley Cattle company in the mat
ter of the application of Oliver for a re
hearing in the Owyhee river adjudica
tion.
The circuit court had
entered its
decree on Oliver's application for a re
hearing, permitting him to use the nat
urally impounded water of upper Cow

pany appealed from that decision and
served only him.
Oliver claimed that it was necessary
for the Jordan Valley Cattle company
on Its appeal to serve all of the users of
water on the Owyhee river and on that
ground moved to dismiss the appeal.
The motion was denied.

School Children Sell Christmas Seals
for Sick; Red Cross Drive Continues
"Do you want to buy Christmas seals,”
queried a small voice at the door yester
day. It was the worth the price of many
stamps to see the happy smile on a little
face when a sale was made, for the boys
and girls of the Nyssa school were sell
ing seals for the sick. The sale was also
a contest for them as high honor goes
to the grade selling the most stamps. As
a result, all of the 200 grade children of
Nyssa were salesmen yesterday.
Even Into the black night, the raps at
the door continued.
”1 Just sold some more seals," called
one youngster to another.
