Local Leader
At an L. D. S. stake conference
in Weiser Sunday. January 8. presid­
ed over by Apostles John A. Widtsoe
and Mathew Cowley of Salt Lake
City, a new Nyssa stake was created
The new Nyssa stake will consist
of the Vale. Ontario, Owyhee.
Parma and Nyssa first and second
wards. Arvel L. Child was chosen
and set apart as president of the
new stake, with W. Fred Blacker
and S. Milton Nelson of Ontario
as his assistants.
The old Weiser stake Is to be pre­
sided over by President J. Raymond
Dewey of Letha, Idaho. His coun­
selors are Grant W. Weber of Weiser
and Clifford E. Bradshaw of Letha.
The L. D. S. church has shown a
rapid growth in the valley in the
past 10 years. All wards have out­
grown their building accomodations
and a heavy construction program
Is being carried on. Vale has just
completed a $135,000 building. O n­
tario Is now working on plans for
an extensive remodeling and enlarg­
ing program. Nyssa second ward
has under construction a $149.000
building, which will be the largest
in the stake.
The members of
Parma will soon move into a new
three-unit building, which they are
constructing at a cost of $89,000,
and Owyhee has plans drawn and
are soon expected to start on a
$100,000 structure.
Most all L. D. S. buildings are
built on a three-unit basis; chapel,
recreational hall, and classroom
wing. This gives opportunity for
worshipful services, classroom study
and recreational facilities for the
heavy recreational program of the
church.
“ It Is the attitude of the L. D. 8.
church, that If they would keep their
young peeople out of disreputable
places, and keep them from the
many degrading temptations that
confront them, U$ey must oi naces-
sity have a pi» e provided for them,
and a program of activity that will
occupy their mind and talents and
lead to a development of the finer
arts in them,” President Child said.
This kind of program calls for
smaller wards and stake units so
that more personal contact may be
had, which was the motivating fact­
or In dividing the Weiser stake.
It Is expected that the new three-
unit building on Alberta avenue will
be completed In early summer, and
after completion It will house the
offices, and be the headquarters of
the new Nyssa stake.
Members of the high council of
the Nyssa stake are Robert Gilchrist
of Ontario, E. Lyon Blacker of On­
tario, Harold H. Saunders of Vale.
Oren J. Burgess of Parma. Wellllum
Bens of Nyssa, Oeorge W. Palmer of
Vale und Rosel Hunter und Wilford
