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.

. . . 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

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.
