Outlook For Ball Squad Looks Dull By Wesley Sherman With the mournful statement, “ I feel pretty low about football after trying to run the plays,” Coach John O. Young in a few words described his outlook on the coming football season for the Nyssa high school Bulldogs. Out of the eighteen mighty letter- men of last year’s squad only four are back in suits this season. They are Herb Smith, quarterback. Ray M orfitt, fullback, Frank Wilson, either left half or end, and Norbert "D oc" Sarazin, center. Around this valuable quartet, the 1940 eleven will be built. Three transfers show possibilities, according to the coach. Richard Le wis, who came from Utah, may make an end on the first string. He is counted as a versatile pass receiv er. The Eldridge brothers, Don and Bob, from Nampa, may fill a couple of gaps in the lineup. Don is a back, while Bob plays guard. Biggest job of the current cam paign. in Coach Young’s opinion, is to fill the big shoes of last year’s Harold “ Missouri" Holmes, line- plunging fullback, and Stanley Ray, master broken-field runner. I f Dave Green and Harold Taylor, students at the high school this year, were not Ineligible because of their ages, the outlook would be brighter, says the coach. Others fighting for berths on the first team are the following: Ends, Duane Weeks, Ray Larson, Eugene Brady. Warren Heldt, and Lester Keizer; tackles. Bill Coleman, Bill Fagan. Elton Jennings, and Berle Draper; guards, Alvfinn Ekanger. Rex Shelley, Leo Hollenberg and George Hale; center, Homer W h it man; backs, Clyde Smith, Dave M a lone. Eugene Cleaver, Dick Haun, Chester Ashby, Reid Cottle, Bob D uffy and Jimmy Frost. W hat are the team’s chances this season? “ Anywhere from the bottom will satisfy me pretty well,” mourned Coach Young. Nyssa football fans must wait un til October 25 to see their first home high school football game, accord ing to the schedule of the Snake River Valley conference. The Bulldogs play four games a- way from home befoie they tackle an opponent on the local field. Weiser, at Welser. on Friday, Sep tember 27, is the first conference op ponent on the local field. Welser. at Weiser on Friday Sep tember 27, is the first conference opponent o f the Blue and White. On following Fridays they will play in succession Payette, there, Oct. 4; Adrian, there. Oct. 11; and Vale, there, Oct. 18. Frultland comes here to meet the Bulldogs on Oct. 25 followed by Em mett here, on Nov. 1. The schedule ends with the “ Big little game” of the season with On tario here on Nov. 8 . >w Comers to Nyssa Mr and Mrs. H. L.

Professor Serviss accompanied by Mr. Walt Russow and Mrs. George Masterman of G. L. F. Cooperative Mills of Buffalo, New York met Monday morning in the County Agent's office with representatives of the seed trade in this area and with Prof. G. R. Hyslop, Head of the Farm Crops Department of Oregon State College and E. R. Jackman. Extension Specialist in Farm Crops. During the afternoon, a number of fields cf red clover seed were visited in the county. It was pointed out to Professor Serviss that 90 per cent of all of the red clover seed produced in Oregon ir. grown in high altitude east of the Cascade mountains and that 80 per cent of the total is grown in M al heur county. Malheur county seed Is grown under exactly the same cli matic conditions as much of the readily accepted Idaho seed, it was further pointed out. Before leaving Professor Serviss stated that he saw no reason why seed from this area should be dis criminated against and that he would present the matter to the State Technical committee of New York with every hope of favorable action. The party from the State of New York are visiting most of the small seed-producing areas of Utah, Ida ho, Oregon and Washington but were particularly interested in ob taining first hand information on the growing conditions of Oregon red clover about which there has been so much difficulty during the past year. Prejudice against Oregon red clover seed was built up in the days when the bulk of the Oregon seed was produced in the Willamette valley and this seed was definitely not suitable for planting in the mid- western and eastern states.

GAME COMMISSION Project Payment J HAS ™ POWER TO Plan Discussed s e t l im it s The problem of the repayment of the construction costs of the Owy hee Irrigation project was the sub ject of a meeting held in Nyssa last Saturday between the board o f se veral districts under the project and a commission composed of Fr. W il liam Peterson, of Logan, Utah, D i rector of the Utah Agricultural Col lege. W L Powell, o f the Oregon State Agricultural College and B. E. Hayden, project superintendent of the Klamath Falls Project. This commission is to make an in vestigation of the Owyhee project and make their recommendations to the Commissioner of Reclamation, John C Page, on the most feasible plan of repayment. The directors of the Owyhee project recommended to the commission that a plan whereby the fanners would make their payments based on 5 per cent cf their crop valuation, would be the most practicable. The commission, while they could not comit themselves, admitted that they were sympathetic to the plan and would give it their serious con sideration. keep house in America, and that our immigration laws must be strength ened. On this latter, Ellis said that Congressman Pierce's vote against the financing of the Dies Subversive Activities committee and against the bill to deport Harry Bridges, west coast C. I. O. leader was now sup plemented by a vote in Congress, on June 5, against an amendment to H. R. Bill 6075 that would in crease the penalty for espionage. This particular amendment would impose a fine of $5000 or 5 years imprisonment, or both on any per son who knowingly or willingly ad vocated the overthrow of govern ment by force or violence. “ It is significant that Pierce has voted three times now against bills that are designed to get rid of fifth col umn or subversive activities in this country,” Ellis said. In his tour throughout his district Ellis said that he found a prepon- derence of sentiment for Charles With school opening last Monday, McNary and Wendell Wilkie.

Students to School NO SPECIAL LEW ON CITI BUDGET EOO M No special levy will be assessed for city taxes for 1941 following action of the budget committee which met Monday night at the city hall. Several items of the budget were either entirely eliminated or cut be low that of last year. The city band director’s salary and the city ceme tery fund were two of the items to be eliminated. The fire department funds were cut from $1003 to $700 and the street funds were cut from $2300 to $2000. Supplies fund for the city recorder’s office was whit tled from $300 to $200. The • city grounds (park) funds of $1000 will be required to care for the further development o f the city park and the cemetery grounds, which is bad ly in need of a sprinkling system ac cording to Councilman J. C. Olsen. He estimated that the cost of this system would be in the neighbor hood of $500. leaving the park board to operate on a balance of approxi mately $500 out of which must come the 20 monthly payments for a care taker, the buying and planting of seed and the construction of walks, tennis courts and a wading pool for small children. The water depart ment, faced with extensive repairs and supplies for the coming year will have to operate on the same a- mount of money as it did last year, $5500. The emergency fund was in creased from $300 to $800. The estimated expense of running the city’s business for the coming years is only increased $566.05, or a total of $26.869.36, out of which will come $2500 for bond retirement and $1899.36 for interest on bonded in debtedness. The total amount to be raised by taxes for the coming year has been set at $15,269.36 an increase of $719. 36 over that of last year, and $16.04 under the 6 per cent limitation es tablished by law. A full report of the budget is pub lished on the editorial page of this issue of the Nyssa Journal.
