One of the hardest hit sections was an area about a mile wide extending across tije valley near the Hashitani corner. Some fields of spring lettuce in the Nyssa area were riddled by the downpour of hail, but other fields were not badly damaged and parking was resumed at the local sheds this week. Some seed onions were also damaged. Many acres of sugar beets were badly battered by the storm, but farmers said damaged plants would recover. Considerable damage was also caused to the pea crop. Some farmers living on the Black Canyon project on the Idaho side of the Snake river reported that all of their apples and prunes were damaged by the hall. The storm extended into various sections of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho. Precipitation in Nyssa, as meas ured on the bureau of reclamation instruments, during the 24 hour period from Sunday morning to Monday morning amounted to .67 of a inch. A total of .14 of an inch of rain fell Monday of this week and about a trace Tuesday. Prior to the heavy storm of Sunday, .23 o f an inch.

TWO OFFICES IN NYSSA BURGLARIZED Tw o Nyssa business places were burglarized last Saturday night, but little of value was taken. The burglars broke a window in a door at the Veltex service sta tion near the school grounds and entered the station, but no theft was reported. Thieves entered the Boise P ay ette Lumber company office on First by prying open a rear win dow. They took 50c or 60c from a cash drawer. Apparently nothing else was disturbed. The thief or thieves left the Boise Payette office by the same window and closed it after them.

Company officials said "The com pany still believes that the area around Ny-sa will develop into an excellent dairying country. How- ever it does not .believe that the development will be as rapid as it first supposed it would be. It bases this assumption on the fact that the total milk production in the Nyssa area has not increased since June of last year, although there has been a very active campaign carried on to secure more milk by both cooperatives and private com panies in the Nyssa area. Avoset "ompany, because of the type of products it manufactures, cannot afford to put in a plant unless it feels certain that a large supply of milk will be forthcoming short ly.” TT , V Ole »s n n n n NYSSA’S NEWEST INDUSTRIAL PLANT Memorial Day Ceremon ies Held In Gym And On River r>.. ______l On $40,000 ¡r 1 opOSdl 39 To 3; Work W ill Start Soon Residents of the Nyssa school district voted *40,000 in bonds ai, a sprclal election held last Satur- j ay for construction of four addi- tlunal rooms on the grade school building and improvement of the present structure.

"This nation lives because of those who gave their lives in Am erican wars". Rev. Whipple said. "This nation was the first that was dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all human rights. As we think over the foun dations o f our country and the things those boys have given their lives for it behooves us to remem ber the things for which they died. “Three-fifths of the people of the world are Illiterate. During the last war men from all portions of the world were thrown together. Those who did not have the priv ileges realized the advantages of the literate. W e face a great re sponsibility when three-fifths of the people cannot read and write. When they learn how to carry on their own affairs the world should be ruled by that three-fifths. “ When nations become rich, the people have a tendency to settle down and give themselves over to lust. Our leaders have cautioned us not to be satisfied with our suc cess". Hugh Tobler and his mother. Mrs. L. L. Tobler, sang “God Bless America” , accompanied by Miss Ad- drienne Peterson.

Whipple gave the benediction. After the gymnasium ceremony, several of the group went to the boat landing on 3nake river, where tribute was paid to the dead who remain at sea, with Commander R. L. Williamson in charge. Dr. John Long gave the prayer and Wallace Holmes directed the color guard and firin g squad. Mrs. George N.
