The two men, en route to Bend to attend an Eagles meetim;. were not Injur ed, although the automobile was badly damaged Before sttriking the deer, the Renstrom car killed a coyote attempting to cross the highway.

The Mexican's automobile crashed against a machine operated by City Councilman Harry Miner and one of the fenders of the Miner car was so badly damaged he could not drive It.

The youths told him the police were looking for him and for him to re port to officers. He failed to ap pear before police and his car was impounded. C Acts On Portland Group C Of Farmer Issues To Visit Owyhee A group o f Portland residents, led by L. C. Binford, president of the Portland chapter of the Izaak W ait- ton League of America, expect to spend June 11 and 12 on the Owyhee reservoir, according to a letter sent to Bernard Frost of the Malheur Game league.

Mr. and Mrs Oscar O Anderson The special occasion for the visit Ls the graduation of James Pruyn from Nyssa high school to night Crenshaw Views God’s Place In American Life Baccalaureate Service At tended By. 34 Grad uating Seniors Fifty-four members of the grad uating class of Nyssa high school heard the Reverend Claire T. Cren shaw of the St. Paul's Bpiscobal church, as the speaker for the 1951 baccalaureate s e r v i c e , ask the vital question “Where Are You G o ing to Put God?” The sermon was based on the verse from the 6th chapter o f Math- hew from the scripture reading by Rev. Donald S. Campbell, pastor of the Community Methodist church, which stated "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteous ness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” The theme for the thoughts of the evening were taken from the story o f a small girl wno went In to assist a young couple moving into a neighborhood, un pack. In rummaging through the packed boxes the small girl came upon a small statue of Christ, and taking it to the young couple, asked “ Where are you going to put God?" Reverend Crenshaw reminded the members of the graduating class that they were now moving into a new life; up to this time they had been learning those lessons which were the tools from which they would make their life. “L ife,” he stated “ is like a vast department store where one moves from counter to counter from which merchandise may be purchased, and that unless Judgment Is used one will find him self bankrupt with no purchases of importance.” In life each one must consider what is to be "the pearl of great price", and to learn that first things must be placed first. "Since the aim o f the church throughout all time has been to aid persons to find fellowship with Ood it therefore follows that the most important thing in life is Ood and our relationship to him". Rev. Crenshaw then showed how the question of "Where are you going to put God? was the import ant question In many phases of Mfe. "Throughout our country Ood is present in our chambers of com merce when God is present In Christian businessmen. We are In need of more Christian men and wo- men in the business world who are able to put the problems and needs of others above their own selfish de sires. "By the same token, we need more honest workmen who are willing to give an honost day's work for the wages they receive. We are prone to criticise those in high places for graft and corruption when many fail to give full value In labor. “T he question of 'where are you going to put Ood?' should be con sidered In the realm of recreation. In a country where there Is so much emphasis on recreation each person should consider what people are be ing kept In business by the money spent on recreation. "W e complain of gambling, yet we support the people we criticize. "In the realm of politics and ec onomics. the question should be con sidered for In this day of tensions, we may need to keep party politics out of the pulpit, but we do need to Include Ood In our political and economic life. As in everything eLse, If God is left out, the results can only be poor. In these times, much is being said about the four free doms and religious freedom, when the same persons show a lack of moral responsibility, evidencing the fact that we need more people In high places who attend and support the church. The youth of today are those who will be sending representatives to Washington. "The question o f where are you going to put Ood should also be asked of those who go to church. (Continued on Page 6) Former Nyssa Youth Drowns— Word has been received here of the death of Gerald Gibson, 18- year-old son of Mr and Mrs. B. F Gibson of Nampa, who w vs drowned In a flash flood Monday evening at Hays, Kansas. The Oib- son family formedly lived in Nyssa, where Oerald attended the first six grades of school. According to reports the young man. with four other youths, were traveling through the town when their car was washed from the high way and Hays and three o f the other young men were drowned. The dead youth is a nephew of A. P. 8eward of Apple valley. Funeral services will be held In Nampa at the Northstde Nazarene church Sat urday, May 26 at 2 p m. TWO SECTIONS—TEN PAGES Company Removing Old Phone Lines The Malheur Home Telephone company is removing wire and cross-arms from its "plant" between Nyssa and Adrian preparatory to erection of new lines as part of a program that has been underway for the last few months. Company officials said it Is nec essary 'to remove the open wire and cross-arms so the materials can be re-used in extending service to those persons who have not had service in the past. As soon as crews finish removing the old plant, they will start using the material in the new construct ion. Silven Attacks High Dam Plan David C. Silven, a Baker attorney and president o f the Baker Free Enterprise association, told mem bers of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Southwestern Idaho and Eastern Oregon, Including a considerable number of Nyssa resi- Jents, at a dinner In Slmplot hall m the College of Idaho campus Monday night that construction of Hell's canyon dam on the Snake river would be another step along the road to socialism. Silven said most of those present are working against socialism so that he would not talk along that line, but on the two proposals In volved In the controversy, construct ion of a high dam by the govern ment in H ell* canyon or construct ion of five low-head dams by the Idaho Power company between Hell's canyon and Weiser. The speaker said that two years ago government proponents claimed the output o f Hell's canyon high dam would be 900,000 kilowatts. The figure grew to a million and kept growing as opposition increased and now proponents are using the figure of 1,400,000 kilowatts. Silven said his association secured the services o f P. R. Schank, an In dependent Portland engineer, to analyze the stream flow of the Snake river for 60 consecutive months. On an average, the five dams during those years would have produced 487,000 kilowatts and the high dam would have produced 388,- 440 kilowatts. "That la directly opposite to what you had expected", Silven «aid. “I thought the high dam would pro duce more. The high dam has the advantage o f storing a great deal of water. " I f we could have blocked the entire flow of the Snake river at the time o f the Vanport flood, we would have dropped the water level at Vanport one foot. I f we block ed the run-off, we would have re duced the water level at Vanport one inch. Most o f the flood water comes from the Clearwater and Salmon rivers. Why don't the pro ponents of H ell’s canyon want flood control dams placed where they are needed? They do not want this area opened by a private concern” . Silven went into Senator Her man Welker's home state to ac cuse the senator of being Incon sistent in his attitude toward Hell's (Continued on Page B) Graduation Held For Adrian CI uhn The Adrian high school gymnasi um was crowded beyond seating capacity for the class night pro gram and commencement, which were held Wednesday and Friday nights, respectively.
