Church Delegates Express Appreciation For Nyssa Hospitality Nyssa, Oregon August 18, 1964 Editor The Gate City Journal: A few weeks ago it was our privilege to serve as hosts for a meeting of the Tri-State Baptist Association of Washington, Ore gon and Idaho. Approximately 50 members of that group of Chris tians met in Nyssa for business and worship in connection with the program of their denomina tion. The attached letter will at test to their appreciation of the hosiptality extended to them. ♦ There’s an old adage that “Nothing is as dead as yes terday’s newspaper.” It is not true and never has been. It sounds cute, has a twist and has lived through the years. But to the person who has not read the weekly, it remains alive, sometimes for weeks until it has been read. Unlike radio and television, one does not have to be at a particular place at a certain time to get the message — it does not leave the room with the speed of sound or sight — it may lay in the room for days or weeks and be new to some member of the family. Watch the weekly in your home. The whole family doesn’t need to be present at one time to enjoy it. Doz ens of things may delay one’s reading of it. Mom may be answering the phone when the mailman brings it — Sis may be studying — Bud may be practicing ball or Dad may be attending a meeting . . . but it is waiting—brand new until each member of the family who desires to do so has read it. We have always been proud of the fact that people who get our paper pay for it — we know how many sub scribers we have and where they live. No radio or tv station can give you this same information — turn on your car or home radio — start at the left side of your dial and turning slowly see how many stations you can get before you have reached the right side. In a rural area such as ours you can get one each quarter inch without turning up the volume. (There are at least seven within a 50-mile radius.) So when any one station tries to make you beljeve that everyone within hearing distance listens to a particular station — and keeps it on most of the day where they can get your ad vertising message — it just isn’t so! And were it true, how many of the listeners are with in your trade territory that might become your custom ers? The “saturation” program the ad men speak of just won’t hold water! » i Where's Our Pride? \4hat has "happened to Nyssa and the area’s pride? For years we were leaders in donating blood for the mobile blood bank. We not only reached our quota while other cities and towns were falling below theirs, we fre quently gave more. But two weeks ago when our quota had been reduced to 150 pints we gave only 85 — what happened? The need for blood for emergencies is greater than it has ever been, according to the American Association of Blood Banks. More accidents, more surgical opera tions and more disasters require blood. Yet only three percent of the total population donate blood regularly. Authorities say that persons between the ages of 21 and 59. in good health, can give blood safely. And if anything happens that may require attention at the blood bank, you’ll get it. The fact that the Red Cross workers may accompany the mobile unit almost every day does not make them hardened to your problem — we learned this the hard way (through a member of the family needing attention) at the last visit of the unit in Nyssa. Quite a number of persons give their time and talent to enable those needing blood to get it when it is needed. It may take an hour of your time out of the field or away from your business but what about the life your blood might save — it could even be a member of your own family. Let’s remember this and get back to the top of the list and recover our pride when the mobile blood bank comes to Nyssa again — in about six months!

Alvon Griffin, Pastor Dear Pastors and Members: It is with our deepest gratitude that we extend to you our heart felt thanks for the extreme hos pitality shown us while here in your fine city. We have been made welcome to all the church facilities. The delegates appre ciate the warm receptions in the homes. Truly nothing was left undone for our comfort.

Wilkens, Secretary IT'S YOUR LAW By Oregon State Bar Property Owner's Liability Under Law A popular misconception of law has it that everyone who is in jured on another’s property is en titled to recover all damages he may have sustained from the owner of that property. Property owners themselves as well as those seeking recompense for injuries, often subscribe to this erroneous principle, and it is not at all uncommon for a home owner, discussing an injury at his home, to remark, albeit reluc tantly, “Well, I guess I’m liable— the accident happened on my ♦ ♦ On Sunday, Aug. 30, the mem property.” This is NOT the law.
