Country Roads Cleared A fter Terrific Storm Road District Praised For Quick Action In Emergency The Nyssa community had al most completely dug out from un der the snowdrifts that piled up in the city and rural sections last Sunday during a terrific storm that blocked traffic and caused many other inconveniences in the entire Snake river valley. Employes o f the Nyssa Road Assessment' district took the lead tn clearing the rural roads in the Nyssa area. As soon as the wind subsided, Melvin Smith and Everett Rhodes drove the district's two patrols onto the roads for the clean-up operation and remained on their machines for 36 hours without stopping. Dale Garrison, head of the road district, complimented the two men for taking the initiative when "the bosses” were out of town. School Superintendent Henry Hartley said that “ the road district is entitled to a lot o f commendation for the manner in which it has cleared the roads.” Drivers did not take the school busses into the rural areas M on day because o f 'the deep drifts piled up during the blizzard and did not cover all of their routes Tuesday. Even Wednesday the drivers failed to reach a few scat tered places. Mr. Garrison said the patrol op erators covered 150 miles o f the 300 miles a F roads in the district. He stated that the men worked in both the Nyssa and Adrian dist ricts, but added that most o f the snow-blocks were north of Nyssa. In response to inquiries as to why the schools are kept open when only a portion o f the children in the district can attend school. Sup erintendent Hartley said "W e do this primarily because of the m an ner in which the state school sup port fund operates. The Nyissa schools receive approximately $800 for each day’s operation from this fund. Opinions of the attorney general specify that the school must actually operate to receive payment. Closure fo r epidemics, acts o f God or for other reasons not specified in the law abrogate receipt o f this money for the per iod of closure. By remaining open, we satisfy the requirements o f the law and save the taxpayers a con siderable mount of money. The town youngsters aren’t too happy about the set-up, 'but it is the best arrangement we can make". Rural mail carriers covered their routes Monday, but missed a few patrons because o f the heavy snows Their troubles were about cleared up Wednesday. They expressed appreciation fo r the co-operation of the patrons in clearing snow from approaches to mail boxes. A fter weeks o f cold weather and the blizzard Sunday this vicinity began to feel Wednesday night the impact o f a new storm reported by weather bureau employes to be moving in from the coast. The forcast is fo r rain and snow, with warmer weather in prospect. FUNERAL HELD FOR ACCIDENT VICTIM Funeral servtqes were held in the Nyssa Funeral home chapel Sunday for Claude W.

Rev. Campbell said “ It Is not only the houses of -prostitution, but the moral situation generally in the town that we are interested in". The minister mentioned gambling illegal sale of -liquor and other forms o f vice. “ W e are not crusaders making a splurge", Rev. Campbell said.
