Attendance In
Nyssa Schools
Shows Decrease
Drop Under Last Year
65 ; Enrollment O f
1072 To Increase
Enrollment of students in the
Nyssa schools this week showed a
drop in attendance of 65 Wednesday,
the second day of school, under tne
figure o f the 1950-51 school year,
according to Superintendent Henry
Hartley.
Attendance in the first six grades
showed a drop of 57 and in the high
school a drop of 16, but the junior
high school showed an increase of
8. making a net decrease of 65 under
the second day attendance last year.
School officials expect the total en
rollment of 1072 to increase during
the next two weeks.
The loss in school population is
believed to be due to the movement
of people from the interior to the
coastal areas, principally because
of the greater number of available
defense jobs. Some local business
men doubt that Nyssa is losing more
population than it is gaining through
movement from one locality to an
other.
School attendance Wednesday by
grades was as follows: First, 110;
second, 102; third, 109; fourth, 104;
fifth, 98; sixth, 86 or a total of 609;
seventh, 91 and eighth 92. or total
of 183; and ninth 80, tenth, 74;
eleventh, 82, and twelfth, 44, or a
total of 280.
Total second-day enrollment in
1948-49 was 1154, in 1949-50, 1184;
and 1950-51, 1137.

Maze Upheld In
Marijuana Gase
Chief of Police Orville Maze of
Nyssa, who is reported to have re
fused to arrest a man In a local
pool hall on a charge o f selling
marijuana because he had no war
rant for the man-s arrest, was up
held In his action this week by
Sergeant Walter Walker of the state
police staff at Ontario.
Fred Cardwell, night officer on
the Payette police force, reported,
while he was o ff duty, that he traced
sale of marijuana in Payette to
Nyssa and made the purchase of
the narcotic. He asked Maze to
make the arrest and the Nyssa
officer asked him to 6wear out a
warrant for the dope peddler's ar
rest.
Cardwell ret used on the
grounds chat the evidence would be
lost If he left the peddler to sign
the complaint. A third person Is
reported to have purchased the
marijuana cigarette that Cardwell
had in his possession, but the P a y
ette officer said he paid for the
“stick” with a marked dollar bill.
Sergeant Walker said "Maze oould
not have made a legal arrest. It
would have put the city of Nyssa
behind the eight ball If he had made
an arrest without a warrant. The
law says that an officer must know
in truth that (he crime was com
mitted In order to make an arrest
without a warrant. He must be able
to convince a Jury that there Is
reasonable proof that a crime was
committed.
"Actually we have two or three
bunches o f marijuana cigarettes
that we have taken in Nyssa, but
we have never been able to get a
federal man to touch the case. Sale
of marijuana Is a federal offense” .
