Heathdale Ave. Covina, Calif. 91722 May 28th. 1968 Editor Nyssa Gate City Journal Nyssa, Oregon On seeing the enclosed paper I immediately thought of your advertising during Nyssa’s "Krazy Daze”. Some of this, I must admit is in poor taste but much of it is clever and original. We subscribe to the Journal, after an absence of 18 years because of close family ties. 1 am son of A. Chadwick; my wife Laura, daughter of Damon Savage of the ranch and Tavern. Thought you might pick up a few additional ideas. - Very truly yours, Vernon Chadwick. Baker, Ore.

The Journal is like a letter from home since we moved four years ago from the Big Bend area in Malheur county to Baker. - Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph King. To The Editor: Election day has come and gone. I hope you will permit me to use your communication column to express my very deep and heartfelt appreciation for all of the thousands of people all over the state who gave so unselfishly of their time and resources to help in my cam paign for United States Senate. I have asked myself often why so many do so much when their names never appear in the head lines and they must often feel that their efforts go unrecog nized. I think the answer must be the same as the answer to the question as to why candidates run. It is simply that they are dedicated to their country and to the cause of good repre sentative government. If this experiment in demo cracy is to work each of us must do what we can, whether it be running for office, working for a political party of our choice, or simply registering and voting. Each individual con tribution goes to make up the strongest and best country on earth of which each of us is so proud. It is this multiple, mani fold effort that so overshadows the few who condemn and tear down that government which all of us hope will ultimately bring freedom and peace in this world. I want this humble thanks of mine to extend as well to those who worked for my opponent. While I disagreed with their judgement as vigorously and honorably as 1 could, their con tribution to this competitive election process is a part of the overall great picture. I pledge, once again, my sup port to the choice of the majority both now and in the fall election. - Robert B. Duncan. The Rev. Ralph A. Lawrence, minister of the United Metho dist Church in Nyssa for the past four years, will preach his final sermon to the con gregation Sunday, June 9 during the 11 a.m. worship service.
