That day has arrived, the papers have been signed, and effictive October 1st he and his wife Margaret will be the publishers of the Journal. Visiting with the Nedry’s, we find that Dirick wjs born in Nyssa March 13, 1917, and lived here until 1922 when his father, Britt Nedry, moved the family to Tigard, Oregon where he was elementary principal for many years. Dirick brought his family back to Nyssa in September, 1962 when he assumed the duties of clerk-business manager in the Nyssa schools. ____ ______ In between these years he finished grade and high school now a senior at the University in Tigard; was a boy sales of Oregon, majoring in manager for McFadded Publi journalism; and Janet is cations in Portland; Sales Rep starting her junior year at the representative for McFadden College of Idaho, majoring in in Tacoma, Wash.; andattended Sociology.

However, if two teams should be tied at the end of regulation time, a one-game playoff will be staged on Friday, Oct. 3, with a coin toss deciding the site. The win ner will then go into the regularly sched uled playoff final against the champ in the other division on Oct. 4, as planned. World Serie« on Oct. 11 If there should be a three-way tie in a division, one team will draw a bye, then play the winner of the Oct. 3 game between the other two—on Oct. 4. Obviously this would put the final playoff series back one day until Sunday, Oct. 5. The team having the best seasonal records against the other AMONG THECRAZIEST SIGHTS EACH YEAR on Nyssa’s annual Krazy Saturday* are the kids who go all out for the afternoon parade and try for cash and merchandise prizes. And the 1969 participants were among the 'zaniest’ These Journal photos tell the story. In the upper left photo is Tammi Frederiksen who took first place in the Journal-sponsored contest. Next to her is Bridget Gallegos, second place winner. Also in the top row is Rhonda Miller who received an award as top-advertiser for the local publication.

And, if suf ficient beets have been delivered the factory will open its fall campaign the following morning. The full harvest will not be gin until cooler weather has ar rived and the company can start stockpiling without danger of spoilage. A peak harvest time about 800 people are employed by the company. After the beets have been delivered this figure will drop down to about 600 for the campaign. About 200 are year- round employees.

Other prize winners are listed in a separate story on page 1 of this Journal issue. two in a three-way tie would enjoy the bene fit of the bye. If there should be a four-way tie in either division, two elimination games would be played Oct. 3, with the winners playing off the next day. Baltimore plays Minnesota in the AL, no travel dates will be necessary when the playoff scene shifts after game No. 2. But if the Mets should be involved with San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Houston, there would be open dates between the second and third games Meetings between the Mets and Cincinnati or Atlanta would be played on successive days. East-West TV schedule It is possible, of course, for one league to finish its playoff prior to the other league's But nothing short of an extended stretch of inclement weather could delay the opening of the best four-out-of-seven- game World Series on Saturday, Oct. 11. This series will open this year in the home park of the AL champions. Since the American League playoffs will be held somewhere in the East and National League eliminations in the West, it will be possible for interested fans to watch almost all of every game on television. Eastern contests will start at 1 o’clock Eastern Daylight Time. Western games will begin at 4 o'clock EDT. Only if the Eastern game is long will viewers miss the start of the Western contest. There is one exception to this nation-wide TV schedule. The National Broadcasting Company will do two games every day ex cept Sunday, when only one will be aired. But highlights of the other game will be an nounced at regular intervals. Though a playoff series could be run off on consecutive days, the World Series, as usual, will have open dates between the second and third, and fifth and sixth (if necessary) games Thus is television assured of two weekend exposures if the classic runs the full seven games without interruption. The possibility of a Cinderella team like the Mets marching right on through a play off and World Series should keep fan inter est on a high pitch and make baseball's first post-season eliminations a roaring suc cess TED A. BARTON Principal Gene Chester has announced that a Nyssa high school student has been named a semifinalist in the 1969-70 National Merit Scholarship Program. He is Ted A. Barton, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Barton of Nyssa. The 15,000 semifinalists ap pointed today are among the nation’s most intellectually tal ented high school seniors. They will compete for about 3,000 Merit Scholar ships to be a ward ed in 1970. The semifinalists were the highest scorers in their states on the National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), which was given last February to some 750,000 students in 17,250 schools nationwide. They constitute less than 1 per cent of the graduating secondary school senoirs in the United States. The semifinalists are repre sentative of the country's most intellectually able youngpeople, according to EdwardC. Smith, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NM- SC). "From this group will come many future leaders in business, industry, and the pro fessions,’* he said. "These students bring honor not only to themselves, but also to their families, their teachers, and their com munities. The future success of these young people will, how ever, depend upon their ability become productive at the high intellectual levels that they are capable of attaining.’* Semifinalists must advance to finalist standing to be conside red for the Merit Scholarships to be awarded next spring. Se mifinalists become finalists by receiving the endorsement of their schools, substantiating their high NMSQT performance on a second examination, and providing information about (Continued On Page 8)
