OUT OF
THE PAST
10 YEARS AGO
Dr. K.A. Danford toldaJour-
nal reporter yesterday that con­
struction of his and Dr. K.E.
Kerby’s new clinic building
would be started in the im­
mediate future.
Holcomb and Main were suc­
cessful bidders at approxi­
mately $58,000 and the build­
ing will be ready for occupany
about May 1, 1962
The building will be located
at the northwest corner of Third
Street and Good Avenue. The
old frame house, known as the
Crawford place and lot have
been purchased. The house was
sold to Bob Chatelain and was
moved this week to First and
Green Avenue.
Tentative plans call for Dr.
David Sarazin to move from his
present location in the Ray’s
Food Fair building into the
Sarazin Clinic building being
vacated by Kerby and Danford.
20 YEARS AGO .

Electric power and telephone
service were interrupted Mon­
day for a period of a few hours
in the Nyssa section along with
the remainder of the Snake
River Valley by an unusually
severe early winter storm.
A two and one-half hour in­
terruption of service was ex­
perienced by the Idaho Power
Company on the Idaho side of
the river when heavy snow and
wind broke wires and shorted
some of the cut-outs. A high
tension wire shorted out and
burned down near Mitchell
Butte, the interruption put
Adrian out of service and halted
service to a few customers
in the Mitchell Butte area for
one and one-half hours.
So much of the wet snow piled
up on the telephone wires that
it caused them to short and
ground out. The storm effected
all aerial wire over the valley
for a period of four to five
hours.
Telephone company officials
said the storm is the only type
that will put a telephone plant
completely out of service. Du­
ring the storm trouble cannot
be eliminated. The company
and customers just have to wait
for a change in the weather.
Damage is then repaired as
quickly as possible.
30 YEARS AGO
30 YEARS CON'T
Nyssa a resolution declaring
their loyalty to the UnitedStates
Government.
The resolution reads as fol­
lows;
“We, the members of the
Japanese Farmers Association
and of the Japanese-American
Citizens Club of southwestern
Idaho and eastern Oregon,
deeply deploring the unjusti­
fied acts of aggression on the
part of the imperial government
of Japan, do hereby declare our
unswerving loyalty to the go­
vernment of the United States
of America and we declare our
determination to uphold its po­
licies.”
“We appreciate the advan­
tages we have enjoyed here and
the
friendship
manifested
toward us by the people of
Malheur County, Oregon, and
of southwestern Idaho, where
many of us were born and
others of us born across the
Pacific have made our home
for upward of 40 years.”
“In token of our loyalty and
of our appreciation of citizen­
ship or residence we hereby
tender to Malheur County de­
fense committee, the sheriffs
office, or such other govern­
mental agency as may be de­
signated by them, our Com­
munity Hall near Ontario, what­
ever use they desire to place.
Due to it’s central location,
we feel that it can during this
grave emergency be thus most
useful to the public.”
40 YEARS AGO
Evergreen trees along Main
Street, glistening snow that fell
today and the cheerful decora­
tions in every store window
bring the Yuletide atmosphere
to downtown Nyssa.
The City Council has pur­
chased four Christmas trees,
one for each intersection in Main
Street. They will be lighted
to add much Christmas cheer
in Nyssa. The largest tree
will be used as a community
Christmas tree.
50 YEARS AGO
Last week Fred Snively took
a load of lumber up to his home
on the river, hired a carpenter
and intends building an addition
to his house. Well! Well!

count of rain and snow storms
between Portland and LaGrande.
