II The Portland Oregonian, large daily of Oregon's lar gest city, has again muddled information in what could have been good publicity for Nyssa and the surrounding area. But for a thinly populated area of Eastern Oregon, which one Portland legislator described as a land of “Jack Rabbits and Sagebrush," what else could one ex- poot The first instance was during July 1961 when Joe Bianco, agricultural editor, registered in the Nyssa labor camp (through the help of a local church official in the middle of the night) under the guise of a needy migrant laborer. After spending three days in the area and three hours as a field laborer, he became an expert on all the problems, without bothering to check with responsible authorities as to conditions. As a result of his trip, he distorted the facts and printed untruths which were later published in national magazines. Some three weeks later, after numerous let ters of objections, the paper carried our editorial along with a letter from Mrs. John Schenk, where Bianco had performed his “three hours of labor.” But the harm was done — these were never carried in the national publi cations as a refutation of his story. The second instance, and the "Repeat Performance,’’ appeared in the Thursday, July 7, 1966, edition of the Oregonian under an item by Frank Sterrett, chief pho tographer of the Oregonian. It was not vicious, as was Bianco’s series, but was untrue in what local people con sider as important. While touring the Owyhees and the reservoir, under the guidance of Lloyd Russell and William MacKnight, editor of the Argus-jObserver, Sterrett wrote of the un usual features of Malheur county, and gave us quite a lot of favorable publicity. In fact, we consider he went “overboard” on part of it. He expanded on some to the point he sounded like a member of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce — sans true fact. But — when he moved Thunderegg Days from Nyssa to Ontario for Aug. 4-5-6 — it is unforgivable. That is strictly our promotion and belongs in no part to our lar ger neighboring city. They will benefit from it with our overflow of travelers but are not entitled to the credit. We cannot blame our Ontario neighbors who served as guides on the tour, but in fairness, feel that they should enlighten the Oregonian where the “Rockhound Convention” is to be held . . . and w’ould suggest that the big daily not try to make feature writers of their photographers!
