County Budget Kept In Bounds Mrs. Campbell Dies Suddenly Burglars Routed kinsm an Grange Suggests Signs From Building In Thievery Attempt A committee was appointed at a meeting of the Kingman Kolony Grange this week to contact Coun ty Judge S. Stanton about the er ection of directional signs In the Kingman Kolony area. Members of the committe are Mrs. Herbert Thompson, Mrs. Lult Stam and Mrs. K. I. Peterson. Kingman residents would erect the signs and paint the names of residents living in the area on the signs if the county would furnish the material. The Grange voted to give a schol arship to 4-H summer school at Corvallis. The Kingman Grange has entered an apron in the state Orange apron contest. The apron was made by Mrs. W. E. Piercey. Burglars who broke Into the Boise Payette Lumber company office In Nyssa last Thursday night were so surprised when they knocked the combination off the safe they rush ed from the building apparently without taking anything of value. Crushing the combination caused a tear gas bomb Inside the safe to explode and the gas forced the burg lars from the office. The tear gas was still thick In the building Fri day morning when employes opened the building. A radio was moved from its usual place, giving rise to supposition that one of the burglars intended taking it, but dropped it when the gas fumes forced a hurried retreat.

Car- lene Jones, had thanked their par ents, faculty and others lor the co operation and help they received during their four years in high sohool, Gerald Wallace, Boise edu cator, told the 54 graduates of the Nyssa high sohool at commence ment exercises held in the gym nasium last Thursday night to look In a mirror for indications of what to expect of the future. “Seniors, look at yourselves In a mirror", said Mr, Wallace. “I am talking about a picture of you In the mirror. The great challenge to youth tonight is 'can you think?' The great challenge to youth to night is 'can you think, or can you just parrot back what someone else said to you?' You did not go to school just for a veneer o f education. “Can you work, or let someone else do It? Have you learned success that comes from toll and sweat? The thing that has made America great is the fact that our forefathers were not afraid to work. I know the atom bomb Is hanging over you, but If you can work, America will settle this problem too and give you the right to work. Someone has to work to put atomic energy to good use. Mr. Wallace, assistant superin tendent for personnel and instruct ion In the Boise public schools, told the students "You are going to be able to create wonderful things In the next 40 or 50 years. In the laboratory I saw a house poured in two and one-half hours. You could not burn it or break it; It was dust- proof. You are going to revolution ize the country. You are going to transform the world if we can over come the atom bomb and learn to live together. The question U whether I can work for mankind or whether I am Interested only In destroying mankind. "The way you hve 40 years from now wtll be better. Can I do that? That Is a tough challenge. If I don’t America will go down hill as all nations have gone down that have become soft. “Learning how to live Is the most important. That means building character. You don't live unless you develop yourself physically, mental ly, spiritually and morally” . Students Speak The valedictorian said "Yes, we. the graduating class of 1951 and all of the graduating classes of 1951 throughout the United States have been given much and for this reason I believe it is very ritting and most proper to give my utmost recog nition and thanks on this night to those people to whom I shall ever be indebted".
