Ontario has 2234 with 1018 Democrats and 1216 Republicans; Nyssa has 486 (D) and 500 (R) for 986, while Vale has 636 with 304 (D) and 332 (R). Precincts Show Differences Precincts having quite an edge of Republican registrations are: Arcadia, 201 to 126; Butte, 299 to 201; Ontario 5, 247 to 116 and On tario 7, 145 to 67. Those having more Democrats registered are: Brogan, 64 - 19; Jamieson, 186-133 — while Rome, in the extreme south portion of the county, is exactly the same with 41 registered for each party. If one could judge the outcome of the various local and state con tests by the interest evinced by talk of voters in the Nyssa area today, one could care less, and as frequently happens in this country, a minority could again decide who will run our govern ment for us. Perhaps candidates and issues will take the forefront in the next two weeks and we will have a real turn-out in the Nov. 8 elec tion. Perhaps!

The program will be presented by J. Elliott Hollister, professor of sociology at Northwest Nazar- ene college in Nampa. He ob tained his baccalaureate degree at John Fletcher college and was granted his master’s at Santa Fe college. The professor is a can didate for his doctor’s degree at the University of California at Berkeley. PTA officials report that from all indications, it will be an in- teresting program. Refreshments will be served at the close of the meeting. NUMBER 42 Thousands of Huniers Invade County As Pheasant Season Opens Saturday; Prospects Appear Bright for Big Crop Hunting Legal on Other Upland Birds, Waterfowl Giving Sportsmen Wide Choice With prospects for one of the biggest pheasant crops in many years in Malheur county, thousands of hunters are ex pected to be on hand for the 8 a.m. opening hour Saturday morning. A partial check of hotels and motels of the three towns of the county indicate a shortage of accommodations for the opening weekend. ♦ The game commission has not given a report on the state as a whole, but farmers in the Nyssa area say there is an Wyckoff Resigns abundance of birds.
