Representative Smith in Ore gon’» delegate to the Public Land Laws Review com mission, set up by the federal government to determin«- "if public lands shall I m - retained and managed or be disposed of, all in the manner to provid«- th«- maximum benefit for the general public.” Th«- c«jmmission is composed of 12 congressmen, six members-at- largc appointed by the President, 25 advisory members represent ing industry and 50 liaison mem bers appointed by the governors of th«- 50 states Need for Study Increases Smith said the ne«-d for a long term study was becoming more and mon* important with the in creasing reduction of private land. The latter is due in large part to city expansion, more and wider highways and the population ex plosion bringing about the use for more home building and in dustrial expansion. And not to be ignored is the erosion of till able land from improper care. He stated that a California eco nomist predicted that by the year 2000 there would I m - no private agricultural land availabl«* for crop production Then only pub lic lands would be remaining for farm uses, parks and recreation, and for a continuing expansion of homes and industry. Problems Noted Some of the problems listed by Smith were: (1) most of the land in question is in the west and most of the population is in the east — «o the political problem arises as to what will please the most people. So many in the east, where conditions are so crowded, would like all the land set aside for parks and recreation. (2) All stat<*s share in the divi sion of incom«- from timber and grazing lands of the west without the eastern areas having any problems about a base support for local government.

Rites Set Sunday For AHS Seniors FHA Siudenls Stage Annual Fashion Display in 'Misty Moonlight' Setting Committee Pares Budget $25,000.00 MRS. ANGIE COOK, a native of Malheur county and a 55-year resident of Nyssa, was winner of the color television set given away Saturday afternoon by eight downtown Nyssa firms. The Journal publishers join with many others who have remarked that the prise went to a most deserving Nyssan. Not only has she been a longtime Nyssa resident, but she has been an active worker in various local organisations and community affairs. Her deceased husband, A. V. Cook, served 18*/i years as Nyssa police chief and her four children attended local schools and were graduated from Nyssa high school. The drawing was held immediately following the Thunderegg Mall dedication ceremonies by City Manager Fred Koch. Also on the program were selections by the NHS Pep band, under direction of Frank Turner. Performing with the musicians were Susan Hartley and Jo Strickland, twirlers of flaming batons. The sponsoring merchants have stated that they were well-pleased with the large crowd present for the dedication rites and that re ception of the new parking mall by area residents has been most gratifying.—Journal Photo.
