The date for the affair has been set for Tues day, November 24th in the Commun ity Church, starting at 8 o’clock. The Choral Club, whose members are the outstanding musicians of Nyssa, have been practicing several weeks for the affair, and have a well rounded program in the final stages of rehearsal. The program is said to bo very well balanced, with numbers to appeal to every musical taste. One of the features of the program is a one-act play entitled, “Enter the Hero.” Miss Fuqua is directing a cast of characters made up of Mrs. Neil Jackson, George Reberger, Miss Galley and Miss Jones, local ter.chers. Another number of note fetHires the singing waiter Idea and a rio has been made up Including Howard Larsen, Jr., Neil and Bob Jackson who will sing, "While Stroll ing Through the Park,” while Miss Hlntmoa Cloninger gives a Character dance. Two Indian numbers have been prepared with Miss Kate Young and George Reberger in the singing roles. The Indian numbers are “In dian Love Call,” and “Indian Dawn.” Mrs. C. L. McCoy is on the program for solo numbers; along with several other duets, trios and quartette numbers; besides numbers by the chorus. The club expects to make a small admission charge for the program to help defray the ex pense of music. A call for an extra practice has been made, and this practice will be held Saturday evening, November 14th at the John Young home start ing at 7:30. Fastest Growing Town in Oregon No, the men did not don aprons for the American Legion pheasant feed last Thursday night, as there were no birds to fry. Supt. Hollenberg, who takes the role of chef on all these oc casions, almost literally had the grease hot awaiting for Ameri can Legion hunters to bring In the birds, but he waited in vain. The prestige of leading Ameri can Legionnaires as hunters Is very much damaged, and In or der to get in good standing again, they expect to hold a duck feed later on. Now as Is well known, ducks are harder to get than pheas ants, especially on the wing, and if the hunters who failed to get pheasants, can actually bring in ducks, which they shot them selves, they may save their rep utation yet. On Friday evening, November 13 there will be held the annual 4-H club achievement program. Mr. E M. Hauser, county club leader, also the members and leaders from Wade, Owyhee and Kingman have planned one of the best program to be held. On the program are three rkits by club members; a report o i summer school, state fair and Pac ific International. Also on the pro gram will be group singing and talks by prominent speakers, chief among these will be Mr. Allen from Oregon State College who Is the as sistant state leader. The 4-H club people wish to extend an Invitation to everyone who wishes to come and Join them.
