F* .' nMBtaEi ■L-u University Of Oregon Library Eugene, Ore. 97UC3 X X X X X Nyssa Gate City Journal Volume LXV The Ny««a Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Thunderego Capital Shrine Auction Grosses $5,000 This year’s annual Shrine Benefit Auction was “very suc cessful” in the words of Ace Lloyd, chairman of the Snake River Valley Shrine Club Auc tion. The Shriners held their annual auction Sunday afternoon at the Malheur County Fairgrounds. Lloyd said there was a good crowd and a lot of good items, most of them new. Everything was sold by 8:30 p.m. Final tabulations are not yet available but Lloyd estimated the final gross figure would be near $5,000. Auctioneers for the event were Bert Anderson, Col. Ro ger Baker, Col. Guy Sparks, and Dallas Chaney. Mrs. Sparks clerked the sale. Each year the auction is a prelude to the annual caravan by the Shriners when they take money, food, and other items to the Portland Shriner’s Hos pital for Crippled Children. Lloyd expressed his gratitude to the auctionners and members of Demolay who assisted and anyone else who helped make the auction a success. Ellen Ashby and Jan Pecora, and heading the refreshment committee is Mary Ann Dority, vice president of the Pep Club. Ron Schoen, accompanied by Tony Rigney, will sing the theme song at the dance scheduled to begin at 9 and end at mid night Saturday. Friday afternoon, the high school student body will have a pep march down Main Street, and conduct a Pep Rally at Thunder egg Mall. Included at the ralley will be a “spirit stick” com petition yell between classes. Local merchants will judge the floats during this time. TVCC Tuition Rates Increase The presidential wage-price freeze, according to Oregon Superintendent of Public in struction Dale Parnell, does not affect tuition increases insti tuted on or before August 14. In a special directive from his office it is stated, “the ruling now indicates new tuition rates may be charged if announced on or before August 14. The Treasure Valley Com munity College Board of Di rectors set out-of-state tuition for 1971-72 at $540 per and adjusted the credit hour rate for part-time students on March 17. This was 151 days before the deadline. Rates for in district and out-of-district stu dents were raised to $270 and $330 per year at a February 23 board meeting, 174 days be fore the deadline. It might be noted that other institutions of higher education in the state of Oregon have set higher rates of tuition. In the same directive, how ever, it says, "No individual teacher is eligible for a salary increase unless he was eligible to accrue wages at the higher rate prior to August 15.” Trea sure Valley Communitycollege instructors and staff whose new contracts did not go into effect before August 15 will not receive their increments pending fur ther interpretation oftheWage- Price freeze after November 14. FFA Officials Will Visit TVCC Robert Franklin, TVCC Avia tion Program Coordinator, an nounced today that represen tatives of the Federal Aviation Administration will visit the campus September 29 to conduct an instrument flying seminar for commercial and private pilots.

FARMER ATTACKS PACKWOOD’S BILL John Brandt of Nampa, a far mer affiliated with the South western Idaho Development As sociation sounded strong oppo sition to Senate Bill 717 popu larly known as the Senator Pack wood Bill, during the Monday evening meetingof the Treasure Valley Chambers of Commerce in Payette. The Packwood Bill, he as serted, would ban further dam construction on the Middle Snake River and in doing so, would be a “greater threat to the future of Idaho land development than previous proposals to divert the waters of the Snake to the arid Southwest and Los Angeles.” He urged all Idaho civic or ganizations to oppose the Pack wood Bill and to support the seven - year moratorium asked by Idaho’s Senators Church and Jordan and recently supported by first district Congressman James McClure. Brandt also attacked the “Wild Rivers” proposal for the Middle Snake on grounds this would make it a recreational area for a “few,” as compared to the present family type re creation.

Good browse production this summer coupled with springs and potholds over flowing have caused a wider dis persal of deer than usual. Be cause of these factors, nimrods will find the going much tougher than in past years. In the Lake County district prospects are poor. Severe winter losses occurred in this area. Fair at best is the out look for Silver Lake and Fort Rock units. Last year’s fawn production and this winter’s fawn survival were the lowest on record for these units. Deer appear to be staying at higher elevations, probably due to a good forage production year. Southeast Oregon is presently dry and dusty and the fire ha zard is high at this writing. Mule deer hunting in the Beu lah, Owyhee, Malheur, and Whitehorse units is expected fair. In the Beulah Unit hun ters should have the best suc cess in the north and west sec tions. Deer are reported widely scattered in the Owyhee country. Best bet in the Malheur Unit is expected at higher elevations around Star, Stockade, and Monument mountains. White horse, Little Whitehorse, Wil low Creek, Oregon Canyon and upper McDermitt Creek look okay in the Whitehorse Unit. The Trout Creek Mountains are also expected to produce fair re sults. Hunter success in Harney County is expec ted about on a par with last year.
