Nyssa Makes Songfesi a Success
( From the Nyssa High Bulldog)
Successfulness of school events, such as the recent
Hootenanny, is largely dependent upon the students them
selves.
We are certainly justified in being proud of our Hoote
nanny, and judging from the comments of out-of-towners,
they seem to share in some of our exuberance. Perhaps
NHS has started something which will lead to better re
lations between valley schools—at least we’ve started it;
now it will be up to another town to continue the idea.
Few of us realize the amount of time and work that
went into the songfest, but those who donated it certainly
ly do!
One interesting point was the number of adults in at
tendance. Whether they were prompted by mere curiosity
or a genuine love of folk songs is debatable, but some are
still relating their favorable comments, showing this was
not exclusive to the teenager.
Events like this show the older generation we aren’t
a bunch of hoodlums or juvenile delinquents, and on occa
sion, we really can be human, which may come as some
thing of a shock to some of them.
Let’s show them more of the same!
Recreational Facilities Praised
The Methodist junior high class
held a party Friday evening in
the church social hall and was
attended by over 30 young area
residents, including members of
the class and their guests.
The recreation room was decor
ated with corn stalks, pumpkins,
gourds and crepe paper in keep
ing with the autumn season. The
fall theme was also carried out
in refreshments.
The youngsters, assisted by
their mothers, planned and placed
the decorations, prepared refresh
ments and selected games to be
played.
Effie Ellen Smith, teacher of
the class, was also present for the
party.
CATHOLIC CIRCLE MEETS
AT BILL WAHLERT HOME
St. Teresa’s circle of the Catho
lic church met Nov. 6 at the home
of Mrs. Bill Wahlert with eight
in attendance. During the ses
sion, discussion was held on mak
ing advent wreaths for home use.
Father John Baumgartner
showed a film on “The Ten Com
mandments.”
Refreshments were served by
the hostess at the close of the
meeting.
EPISCOPAL LADIES VOTE
TO ADOPT INDIAN CHILDREN
Members of the Episcopal guild
met Nov. 6 in the Grant Rinehart
home. The ladies planned a ba
zaar and dinner to be held Dec. 8
in the church and voted to adopt
some children in India and will
finance their education in a day
school for one year.
BRADY VISITS MOTHER

Aiding Heart Attack Victim
To help someone who may be
suffering a heart attack: Sum
mon a doctor immediately; keep
the patient quiet, warm but not
hot and as comfortable as poss
ible, the Oregon Heart association
advises.
(From the Nyssa High Bulldog)
Have you bothered to look around at our parks lately?
Nyssa is certainly fortunate, for a town of its size, to have
three parks with recreational facilities.
At the new park by the river at the entrance from
Idaho, there are camping facilities for travelers, and al
ready there have been tents and trailers seen taking ad
vantage of the new accommodations.
There was a lot of work done at the north park this
summer. Baseball diamonds were set up for the summer
baseball program. Swings and other recreational equip
ment are put to full use by the youngsters and now they
don’t have to cross Main Street to play in a park.
Of course the old south city park still gets put to use.
Many improvements are shown here, too.
City Manager Art Colby and other city employees are
to be commended on the fine job they have done for Nyssa
by improving our recreational facilities to such a fine
standard.

Difference Discussed
Between Copyright,
Patent Law Coverage Reports on Projects
Alert observers frequently no
tice that some articles are patent Heard at Meeting
ed, while other seemingly similar Of Methodist Ladies
items are copyrighted. The ques
tion accordingly arises as to what
constitutes the difference be
tween a patent and a copyright.
Patents are granted to inven
tors on new and useful articles
of manufacture, compositions of
matter, methods and processes,
ornamental designs of articles
of manufacture and certain
types of plants.
Copyrights are granted to au-
thors, composers or artists on
works such as books (which in-
elude not only bound volumes,
but also pamphlets, leaflets and
even single sheets), periodicals,
speeches, plays, musical composi
tions, phonograph records, works
of art, maps, photographs and
motion pictures.
Some articles are difficult for
an untrained observer to classify.
Printed forms are an example of
such articles.
If the form is a card or sheet
having a peculiar shape or a
physical structure (such as per
forations or notenes in certain
positions) that adapts the card
or sheet for a particular use, so
that it amounts to a new article
of manufacture, the card or the
sheet would constitute a sub
ject for coverage by patent ra
ther than by copyright.
If the same or another card or
sheet bears graphic matter such
as a written text, a compilation
of figures or of other data, a chart
or a diagram, the graphic matter
(distinguished from the card or
sheet itself) would be subjected
to coverage by copyright rather
than by patent.
