Treasure Valley Community college at Ontario has made
a phenomenal growth since the first class opened Sept. 24,
1962. The number of full-time students has grown from 40
to 308, part-time students from 120 to 132.
The teaching staff and courses offered have kept pace with
the student growth. In the 1962 fall term six full-time and

Captain Reported
Safe After Feared
Missing on Flight
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ferguson of
t h e Apple Valley community
learned on Wednesday evening of
I last week that their son, Capt.
I Charles Ferguson, was alive and
safe. They had been notified
earlier in the day that he had
been shot down during an Air
Force flight over Laos and was
feared missing.
The good news first came to
them from their daughter-in-law,
wife of Capt. Ferguson, when she
telephoned the parents from Clo­
vis, N.M., to say that she had re­
ceived a direct phone call from
her husband, and even though
the connections were bad, heard
his voice telling her that he was
all right.
The Apple Valley couple later
received an official telegram from
the commanding officer at Clovis
AFB telling them of their son’s
safety.
Capt. Ferguson, a 10-year Air
Force veteran, left Cannon Air
I Force base near Clovis about a
month ago for duty in the Far
i East. He had been stationed at
the New Mexico base since Au-
j gust 1961.
His parents are long-time resi­
dents of Apple Valley. Mr. Fer­
guson has been custodian and bus
driver at the community’s school
for a number of years. His wife
is first grade instructor, having
taught in the school for approxi­
mately 20 years.

Amalgamated’s Nyssa factory has processed more than 80

To date, 745,000 tons have been completed, at a rate in
excess of 6,600 tons per day, and work is on schedule, the
manager said. Some spoilage is found in some dumps but as
