Little Town ... (This poem was submitted for publication by Mrs. Emil (Alia) Stuns. The author is unknown. Mrs. Stuns states that it is among her favorite poems, as the message reminds her of her hometown. Nyssa, Oregon.) I like to live in a little town, Where the trees meet across the street; Where you wave your hand and say “hello” To everyone you meet. I like to stand for a moment Outside the grocery store And listen to the friendly gossip Of the folks that live next door. For life is interwoven With the friends we learn to know, And we hear their joys and sor rows As we daily come and go. So I like to live in a little town; I care no more to roam, For every house in a little town Is more than a house . . . it’s a home! Classifieds Bring Results!

It was a pleasure to buy j at retail establishments without receiving and paying for trading stamps (outlawed there). It is puzzling to understand how sugar is sold there at 10 pounds for 78 cents, while here it is $1.27. Folger’s coffee there sells at 49 cents per pound and is 89 cents here. Ice cream is 49 cents per half gallon and is 89 cents here. Eggs there sell at 31 cents per dozen and are 62 cents in this area. It seems to me that we are paying “on the moon” prices. Talking prices: A concern in a town near Nyssa advertised a “regular $500 sofa” for sale at $149.95, new. If it was the value stated, would that firm sell it at the price asked?

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Young re ceived a telephone call Sunday from their son, Richard in Japan. He was ready to board a plane to return to duty as gunner on a rescue helicopter with the 101st Airborne division in Vietnam. Richard had been recuperating at a hospital in Japan after suf fering hip wounds from a sniper’s bullet on June 25 while on com bat duty in Vietnam. j family and veterinarian, with all his shots, could give. It made no difference that the big, gentle coal-black tomcat had hurt his legs and could not run so well, climb trees or fight with other cats. No, the love and trust he gave to his family - owners made him an “object of affection.” Then one Saturday night, Nov. 5, 1966, he was caught outside the house by a pack of barking, yip ping dogs from in and around Nyssa. The lovable pet, who could neither run nor fight, was not found until the next day. He was taken to a veterinarian whom he had visited on numerous occa sions. Sam was given shots for shock and infection, but to no avail. He was torn inside, his back was broken and be died that night. On Nov. 9, he was buried by a j very sad 15-year-old boy. Now this is not the first in stance of its kind in our neighbor hood, and I do not believe that just because a dog has a license it gives that animal the privilege of destroying some other family’s pets. I feel that action should be taken in an attempt to discourage any further destructive demon strations by a dog or pack of dogs. Yours very truly, C. GRANT PETERSON COOKED FOOD sa !
