One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Welcome, Rockhounds! Once again Nyssa is playing host to people from all over the country as rockhounds gather for our sixth annual Thunderegg Days. We welcome »hem and hope that they have the usual good luck in finding the rocks they seek, and that they also enjoy their stay in Nyssa and their visit with our citizens and fellow rockhounds. These visitors not only look for these semi-precious stones, but they bargain, trade, buy, sell and just look at what the other fellow has. After visiting with some Tuesday evening, we know that they also have some good stories to tell and are very interesting people. We encourage Nyssa residents to get acquainted with our visitors, as we have tried to do, and think that the experience is most worthwhile. We also encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the barbecue tonight (Thursday) put on by the Nyssa Jaycees. It is always an excellent meal, and features some of the best pit barbecued beef that you will ever eat. We suggest also that you stick around the park and visit with friends and visitors, and enjoy the program that follows. Bob Kindschy of BLM will present slides on Malheur County that are excellent. The rock exhibits at the old gym are also well worth seeing, and this year will feature exhibits from several new clubs. The ice cream social put on by the Me thodist Church Friday evening also promises to be an enjoyable event. Wayne Moncur and the Thunderegg DaysCommittee has worked hard for months preparing for this event, which includes an swering over 200 letters from many parts of the United States and Canada. We commend them for their hard work, and hope that the whole community will share in some way with the experiences of our visiting rockhounds. Most Rev. Thomas J. Con nolly D.D.

In Memoriam August 1, 1970 Michael, Debbie and Cynthia Richter "I’ll lend you for a little time some children of mine,” he said, for you to love the while they live, and mourn for when they die. It may be six or seven years —or twenty-two or three. But will you, till I call them back, take ake care of them for me? ‘ They will bring their charms to gladden you, and shall their stay be brief, You’ll have their lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise they will stay, since all from earth re turn, but there are lessons taught down there I want them to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes — I have selected you. Now — Will you give them all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate Me when I come to call to take them back again? I fancied that I heard them say: "Dear Lord, Thy will be done.*’ For all the Joy these children shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter them with ten derness; We’ll love them while we may, and for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay. But shall the Angels call for them much sooner than we plan ned, we’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Aunt Sarah, Ilove you. Remember my 10th birthday, when you gave me that funny piece of green paper and everybody made such a fuss over it. (Except me.) Frankly, it was a pretty disap pointing present for a kid. I couldn’t eat it, couldn’t play with it, couldn’t wear it—and Mom took it away from me practically the min ute I got it. And every birthday after that (and Christ mas, too), you gave me another one of those Bonds, you called them. I thought you were pretty gooney. At least, I never had to guess what I was go ing to get from good old reliable Aunt Sarah. And what I got was good old reliable U.S. Savings Bonds. What I didn’t realize then was that you gave me a gift of security for the future. Thanks to you and those Bonds, I had extra funds for col lege. And they helped when I bought my first new car. Next week, I’m giv ing my nephew, Harry, his first U.S. Savings Bond. I know the kid is gonna think Tm some kind of nut. But. some day . . . Take stock in America. Now Hotuls paya bonus at maturity.
