I Lend a Hand For Nyssa's Rose Parade Band (Editor's Note—The following appeared as an editorial in the Ontario Argus-Observer, Nov. 14 issue. We think if is a real nice friendly gesture. It was written by Editor Wm. F. McKnight. We recall Vale businessmen making a sizeable contribution to help with expenses when the band was sent to the Seattle World's Fair.) The people of Nyssa are supporting a civic-minded project to finance the appearance of the Nyssa high school band in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Par ade on New Year’s day. For those citizens who have seen the sprightly Nyssa band march and play, this project is deserving and timely. The appearance of the Nyssa band in this world- famous parade is a matter of public relations and pride for Malheur county. We are proud in Ontario to say we have a high school band in our neighboring community that is qualified to perform. The appearance of the Nyssa band will be a credit to all of us. Nyssa folks are having a time though, in raising all of the needed financ ing. It requires approximately $6,000 and Nyssans have collected through various programs a sum of $4,000. Now is the time for all good Malheurans, neighbors and friends to come to the aid of your neighbors. Drop a check in the mail. Address it to the Band Director, Nyssa High School, and help this worthy cause. You will have a feeling of pride and admiration to see them on the television screen during the parade. We should all pitch in and help a little. Nyssans will appre ciate your assistance, for these folks are unselfish in their devotion to the youngsters and their dedication to this musical ideal. Auxiliary Leaders To Aiiend LDS Two-Day Session THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1963 DID YOU KNOW? Three prominent auxiliary or ganization leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - Day Saints (Mormon), Salt La' City, will attend quarterly coi rence of the Nyssa stake Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 23-24 in Nyssa. They are Bertrand Childs, a member of the Sunday School General board; Verl F. Scott and Gladys D. Wright, representing Young Men’s and Young Women’s Mutual Improvement associations of the church.

By Elementary School Faculty Members . . . That during the week of Nov. 4-8, there were 563 parent teacher conferences held in the Nyssa elementary school? A total of 94 scheduled confer ences were not completed; how ever, of this total, 72 were for children of Spanish-speaking par ents. The elementary school faculty considers this a commendable record and wishes to express its appreciation to parents for their cooperation and receptiveness in this endeavor. We feel that this personal contact between teacher and parent on behalf of a particu lar child is invaluable for build ing understandings and apprecia tions. -'ll Salem Scene « with one exception; it Most Legislators Back I package becomes effective in April 1964 Governor Hatfield's rather than 1965.

Hatfield requested legislative support in two principal areas: (1) authority to cut basic school support and (2) the enactment of a speed-up of income tax pay ments by employers.

Dernedde available io Oregon industry and others by $72 million, since deposits usually generate six times the funds available for lending according to recent tes timony by bankers and invest ment people. Reason for an earlier effective date was to earn interest on the extra $12 million per year. The $72 million in circulation, how ever, might have proved more fruitful to the state in the long run. The Senate has passed this bill and is also expected to give the governor the allotment authority. Meanwhile the House will spend the remainder of the ses sion examining a general sales tax, cigarette tax and four oth er new tax bills introduced by the majority of its taxation committee. These bills include an increased tax on domestic insurance compa nies, a hotel and motel accommo dations tax, increased tax on beer and wine and a net receipts tax. The rules committee had earlier refused to introduce these bills. Chances for enactment of any new tax bills are dim. The Sen ate majority in caucus voted not to pass or refer any new revenue raising measures during the spe cial session. Hatfield who had urged that no taxes be enacted also holds the power of veto over any tax bill that might slip by the Senate. The governor is hopeful of balancing the budget with a *35 million reduction in areas with in his jurisdiction combined with a cut in basic school sup port. The $12 million additional income from the speed-up of withholding taxes would offset the remaining deficit. Still unsolved as of this writing is the salary control bill which would give the governor the re sponsibility for cutting legislators’ pay as well as himself and other elected officials. The ways and means committee defeated last Thursday by a 9-5 party line vote a Republican move to cut legis lative salaries by half. The legislature, however, is ex pected to give the governor auth ority to cut both elected and state employee salaries. It is also expected that the legislature will put the damper on high education’s plan to in crease tuition and admission re quirements.
