The streets that the city has asked the state to help sur face under the state-aid-to-cities program are First street from King to Good avenues, First street from Green to Locust avenues, Locust avenue from First to Third streets and Third street north from Locust to the city limits. The state could spend up to $15,000 on the proposed project.

Several radio transmitters have already been erected by "Radio Free Europe" with funds provided by the Crusade for Freedom to penetrate the "iron curtain.” The money to be raised in the present campaign will be used to erect two more radio stations. Sponsors of the campaign have announced that "It offers each one of us, as Individual citizens, the opportunity to strike a blow for freedom, to add our voice to the voices o f truth piercing the iron cur tain.

Lions Profit By Game Concession The Nyssa Lions club has com pleted another successful project, which has netted sufficient money to pay for installation of additional lights for softball at the rodeo grounds owned by the Owyhee Rid ing club. To make the rodeo arena suitable for use of the Nyssa Softball league as a diamond, the Lions club agreed to pay for the installation o f the lights, changing the arena fence and making other alterations in re turn for the right to operate the refreshments stand during softball games. The gross receipts of the Lions club in connection with the project amounted to $2049 72. Total ex penditures were $2032.32, leaving a profit of $17.40. However, the ex penditures Included $522.28 for the construction, so that the club act ually made a profit of $539 68 con sidering the $522.28 as a capital in vestment, according to Secretary Everett Heldt. No admission was charged to the softball games, but the Lions club solicited contributions at the games to help pay for the lights and the services of the umpires. In addition to the construction coats, the expenditures for the year included concession supplies, power, advertising, electric light bulb re placement, umpires pay, Boise team travel expense and district playoff expense. Under a verbal agreement, the Lions club plans to operate the concession stand next year under similar arrangements, but will have the profit to use for other worth while projects. Dick Tensen and Finley Shuster were appointed by the club directors at a meeting held last week to act as co-chairmen of the committee that will have charge of the annual Lions club carnival, to be staged In November.

TWO SECTIONS—TEN PAGES Governor Visits Nyssa; Sees Owyhee Reservoir And Talks At Luncheon Chief Executive Taken Through Dain; Eats Lunch At Spring After experiencing a first-trip thrill on viewing the spectacular Owyhee reservoir area Wednesday. Oovernor Douglas McKay said “It is beautiful." “This is a wonderful site for a state park because of the natural beauty of the area and its location in southeastern Oregon, which does not have a state park," said the gov ernor. 'Oregon has more parks than any other state, but we do not have any money to develop camping and other facilities on them." Governor McKay expressed the opinion that “ we can do something about the Owyhee area,” but painted out the difficulties involved in se curing sufficient Interest and money among those who are in a position to give proper authority for the work. It is also involved in several fed eral agencies and two or three state commissions. Upon his arrival by train from Portland at 11:30 a. m. Wednesday, Governor McKay was taken to the clubhouse of the Amalgamated Sug ar company at Fourth street and Bower avenue, where he changed clothes for the trip to the reservoir. With the governor on the automobile trip to the dam were three carloads of local residents and other persons. After Dick Stockham, superinten dent of the dam. lowered the group down the baatUft to the water, the visitors boarded three inboard mot or boats operated by Murle Marcum. Hubert Keith of Vale and Bert Lienkaemper. The boat handled by Lienkaemper was owned by Warren Farmer of Nyssa. Paying his first visit to the dam and reservoir, the governor passed close to the site of the proposed Owyhee state park about two miles above the dam and along the route that would be followed by a high way to the site. Those In the gov ernor's boat pointed to the gradual incline of the site from the sandy beach and suggested the possibility of terracing the area, planting trees and developing two large natural springs. The group then passed by Cherry creek, the mouth of dry creek and the airport in an area covered with sagebrush, broken with many low (Continued on Page 2) Lankfords Pour Arcadia Curbs Lankford Brothers, Sam, Don and Wes. of Nyssa have started pouring the curbing on the Arcadia boule vard improvement Job The broth ers hold a sub-contract under Bab- ler and Rogers.

S * Faces Problem O f Balancing Budget Oovernor Douglas McKay issued a warning at a luncheon sponsored by the Nyssa chamber of commerce in the Masonic hall at noon today that the state is going to start levy ing a property tax. The governor, speaking before a large crowd, said “The state has a right to levy a property tax. We haven’t done it, but we are going to. We are in much better condition than some of our neighbors. We have accumulated a surplus of 54 million dollars in special funds. That is bad business in public affairs; there are too many crazy people shooting at it. We budget around 178 million dollars for two years. We have been spending 10 million more a year than we have been taking in. No one has been paying any attention to it because of this 54 million dollars, so we are faced with a terrific deficit. We will end this biennium broke. When the legislature meets in 1953 it is going to find out the facts of life. We will start out with a 40 million dollar deficit. Seventy- five million dollars of the 17« mil lion dollars were voted by the people. All we have left is 103 million dol lars. When you take out 40 million you don't have much left., I don't think we should be in debt. Just broke. We will be faced with the problem of balancing the budget and will have a 40 million dollar deficit.” Again revealing the smooth humor that usually features a McKay talk, the governor said "The only fair tax is on someone else." Turning to the subject o f rec lamation and Irrigation and the de velopment of natural resources. Governor McKay pointed out the great possibilities for development In Oregon. "Even in the Willamette valley, which is supposed to have so much moister, water is a precious thing. As the water table goes down, the only thing saving us it storage of water behind dams. So, eastern Oregon is not the only area de pendent on water. These resources of ours are not worth a thin dime without water, and no resource !s worth a thin dime unless there is someone to develop it. "I am not a pessimist. Too many people are frightened; there Isn't anything to be afraid of. Russia can’t hurt us. She is developing her resources faster than we are percentage-wise, but we are so far ahead she can’t hurt us. The thing we need to worry about is ourselves. We are losing sight of the things that made this country great." In what he called a rambling speech, Oovernor McKay said "We don't want to get too set in the way we live. You know your town and your county are going to grow. You should plan so you won't get caught short. Don't get too hidebound on old ideas.” The governor opened his talk with the remark that Malheur county is a fantastic county and the state ment that he had never before seen the Owyhee dam and the lake be hind it. The amazing thing to me It that the government would spend that kind of money and leave the dam and reservoir sitting there in the brush. There should be some access roads to It. I think it is possible to develop facilities there so they would accommodate many people. I would like to see It taken over as a state park. I hope we can get it designated as a state park and get the federal government to build access roads " The President Thomas Jones pre sided at the chamber luncheon and introduced several visitors, Including Theodore Rust of Nyssa, who fought with Oovernor McKay In the Argon- ne forest in world war I. The gov ernor chatted with his former buddy after calling the Nyssa man to the head table to eat. Oeorge Henneman, chairman of the city council, welcomed the gov ernor and other visitors to Nyssa. The fried chicken dinner served at the luncheon was prepared by the Eastern Star and Job's Daughters. Kiihljrr Welder Shop R«>in»(l<-|p«l Roy Wild Is remodeling his O. K.
