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.

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.
