By Wesley Sherman Four (Inal games will be played In the northern division of the Snake River Valley high school basketball league this week-end, but all the struggles of the entire season will be culminated In one of those games, that of Nyssa and Vale on the Viking court Saturday night. As Nyssa dropped a harrowing contest to Adrian last Friday 36 to 34 In the third overtime period, the Bulldogs will have to defeat Vale Saturday night and again In a play-off to go to the state tourn ament. T hat also applies to the Snake River Valley league. Nyssa defeated New Plymouth 3S to 30 at New Plymouth Tuesday night. The Bulldogs defeated the home team worse than the score Indicated as Coach Elder used sub stitutes In the last half. If a favorite were picked be tween Nyssa and Vale, the nod would go to Vale by virtue of a slim, 34 to 33 victory over Nyssa In an earlier game. Vale. too. will be on lta own floor. On the other hand, the Nyasa squad will have a weak of rest with only the New Plymouth game played this week. T he Vikings, after meeting On tario and Boise last week-end must play the Payette Pirates Friday night prior to the Nyssa game. Coach Floyd Holt has built another hard-driving and tight de fensive quintet around Bill Mus- grove, called by many the smooth est ball handler and must accur a te shot In the region. In the Nys sa Bulldogs, Coach Elder has an all-round team with no outstand ing star. Even-play and a well- balanced offense and defense are counted on to win. Vale gained vengeance over On tario last Friday. 43 to 35, and Nys sa overwhelmed Welser, 49 to 34. The other division teams will -vie for third place. Ontario, now In third, could ertd the season In th at spot by a victory over Welser Friday night.

The chamber Is In favor of Nys sa being on Pacific time at this time of year. The vote was taken after Dale Garrison and Frank Sherwood, representing the Oregon Trail Orange, had discussed the attitude of the producers living west of Nyssa. The two guests met with the chamber to learn what the merchants are going to do about opening and closing hours, as most cf the farmers living west of Nys sa are observing Pacific time. Mr. Garrison said the farmers would like to have all clocks set ahead one hour and operate on sun time. "We want to have all of the working hours the same”, Mr. Gar rison said. "We will get used to whatever hours ycu merchants keep. However, it is the opinion of most of the grangers that we should be on Pacific time. It is the feeling of the grange members that the merchants should open their stores at 9 a . and close them at 7 p. m. Opening of the stores at 9 a. m. would make the time correspond to the time used by the schools. The school opening and closing time and the noon hour are the biggest problem”. In general, the attitude of the farmers is that the town and country residents should be on the same time. Most of the merchants In Nyssa are now observing moun-, tain war time, but are opening their stores at 9 a. . and closing at 7 p. m. so that In effect the time the stores are open Is the same as before.
