The school is smaller than in Nys sa because of the Catholic grade and high schools; however, the children like it and have gotten acquainted fast. We were thrilled to watch the Nyssa junior bowlers in the state tournament at Portland and offer congratulations to them and their parents. Being able to participate is quite an achievement. We do miss all our Nyssa friends and never has there been such a scramble for the Journal. Please extend our warmest wel come to anyone visiting in our area. Sincerely, Clarence and Dorothy Clapp and Family.

Journal Classifieds Bring Results I Ellis White Republican Candidale FOR RE-ELECTION MALHEUR COUNTY JUDGE The County Judge of Malheur County Has Jurisdiction and Responsibility for the Juvenile Department and Court, the Probate, Adoptive and Mentally Ill Courts. Ellis White has proven his ability and willingness to administrate and work with others in judicial matters in the interest and for the people of Malheur County. The Juvenile Court has been adminis tered with firmness and fairness. Car rying out programs with local law en forcement officers, agencies, parents and the child has resulted in one of the low est rates of second offenders coming to the court in Oregon. Believing that delinquency is a re sponsibility of both parent and child, policies leading to rehabilitation of the delinquent through probation to the court and parent, repayment for dam ages by earnings of the child at the risk of sterner measures by the court and publishing of the name of child and par ent, have contributed to less involve ment of delinquency. In cooperation with our high schools, students volunteer and are selected at random for youth juries who hear cases and make recommendations to the court. This has resulted in fuller understand ing by youth of the court’s function and purposes and has served as a prevention to delinquency. By reason of his interest in youth, Ellis White has been chosen and attend ed seminars and training courses spon- sored by the Council of Juvenile Judges and the Universities of Oregon and California. The Probate Court has been adminis tered in cooperation with attorneys and persons concerned with estates for less time of probation and brought to cur rent basis a backlog of probates. The Adoptive Court hears about 60 adoptions each year. Ellis White has en joyed working with the several hundred adoptive parents and their attorneys in the carrying out of our adoption laws, which safeguard both child and parent. The Mentally Ill Court, holding about 50 hearings each year, has been adminis tered in cooperation with our physicians with understanding and consideration of both the patient and family. Prior to the 1965 Legislature, Ellis White was invited to speak to the Ore gon Mental Health Association on the subject, “Commitment Problems of Eas tern Oregon A number of his sugges tions for improvement of services and information to families of patients in mental institutions were accepted by the Interim Committee and enacted into law. Presently the court is working with the Public Health Board and Interim Committee for state paying 100 percent cost of community health clinics by rea son of savings to our mental hospitals. Ellis White Has Carried Out the Administration of the Juvenile, Probate, Adoptive and Mentally Ill Courts With Understanding and in the Interest of the People of Malheur County. His Experience and Proven Abilitv Will Continue This Service! (Paid Political Advertisement by Ellis White, 125 SW 9th Ave., Ontario, Ore.)
