HARMON KILLEBREW This valley’s best known and probably one of it’s best liked citizens was honored Monday at a testimonial luncheon given by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. Residents of Ontario, Payette, Nyssa and Vale turned out to pay their respects, to say hello, and to hear a few words from one of this nation’s finest athletes, Harmon Killebrew. Second only to Babe Ruth in most home runs for times at bat; and leader of both major leagues in home runs this year, 49; and runs batted in, 140; Killebrew exemplifies everything that is good in American sports. Harmon has just completed his best year in his major league career, and last week was picked by “Sporting News” as Player of the Year. Most certainly he will, or should, be picked as the league’s Most Valuable Player, an award that is overdue. For each of the past eleven years he has either led the league or been right at the top in home runs, runs batted in, and runs scored. He plays first base, third base, left field or where- ever he is asked to play with never a grumble. He has been in each of the all-star games for most of these years, and last year suffered an injury which almost ended his career. Most important of all, he is a modest, friendly person who does his job exceptionally well, and without the necessity of attracting attention through extra-curricular pursuits. Harmon is a family man, he loves this valley and it’s people, and perhaps this environment has in turn helped him in his accomplishments. Nyssa people know Harmon Killebrew very well, and when he played baseball, basketball and football at Payette High School he had some of his finest hours on our fields and court. We salute Harmon Killebrew, we hope he has a few more great years in baseball, and we’re mighty proud to know him. This is a sentiment that we feel sure is shared by all our readers.

BUENA VISTA NEWS MAKE HALLOWEEN SAFE FOR KIDS Nearly 50 million young sters will be out trick or treating this Halloween. It will be fun for most but, unfortunately, a few will be involved in accidents and may be seriously injured or even killed. Parents must make an effort to reduce the hazards their children will face this night. “Your child’s costume can be a source of trouble itself. It should not be so long that it will trip the child nor so loose that it might catch on fences or bushes. Boys should not wear heavy boots nor girls high heels. Sharp objects like make-believe swords should be avoided. Fire is a serious threat on Halloween. Bad burns may oe avoiaea Dy dipping costumes and wigs in a fire retardant solution pur chased at your retail store or made at home with nine ounces of borax, four ounces of boric acid and one gallon of hot water. Also light that indoor jack- o’-lantern with a flashlight instead of a candle. Too oftenchildren’scos- tumes are made of dark colored material which in creases their chances of not being seen by drivers as they cross streets at night. Parents can help to correct this by making or purchasing light colored costumes. Children should be in- i structed to remove their ■ Halloween masks when I crossing streets to avoid | having their vision ob- ■ structed, and reminded to cross only at intersections j or pedestrian cross- < ings. They also should be told to travel in groups I and stay away from unfam— I iliar areas.

We couldn’t ask for a stronger testimonial. \r ’< 4, f Flameless energy can’t match the speed of the in tense blue flame of natural gas. There’s no wait ing when you turn your gas heat thermostat up —or turn it down. Action is instant. But the same exercise with flameless heat is a long-drawn-out process. While you wait for an electric tempera ture to come up—or go down—to the desired level, you’re paying ... sometimes ’til it hurts. There are many wonderful uses for electricity.
