Christmas Season 197 2
This issue of the Journal marks the start of the 1972 Christmas
stropping season ir. Nyssa This is the issue when Nyssa mer
chants announce to our trade area that they are stocked full
of merchandize, at reasonable prices, and »elcome your trade
Friday night, the merchants, through the Nyssa Chamber of
Commerce, also express to the trade area by means of a free
pancake supge-r. that they appreciate the loyalty and business
that you the customer have given them during the past year.
Last year the Chamber uf Commerce put on this feed for the
first time, and it »as so successful that it has become ar annual
event
And »hat better way can the merchants welcome the
Christmas season than through a free dinner for area residents'’
Last year over 1,200 meals were served andcommittee mem
bers are getting prepared to serve many more. And the only
requirement for admission is that you patronize your local mer
chant and pick up a free ticket from him or any other business
in Nyssa.
Ac added treat this year will be the Christmas music during
the meal giver, by the high school stage band and chorus. And
to make the start of Christmas really meaningful to the younger
set,
Santa Claus tumseif »ill arrive during the evening with
candy for the youngsters.
We in Nyssa can feel most fortunate that »e have the many
fine stores in wtucb to shop. Not many small communities
have as many mercantile stares, food markets, drug and hard
ware stores, and all the other businesses that we have in Nyssa.
Low overhead allows our merchants to provide us with quality
merchandise at fair and competitive prices, and they all back
their products.
Free and convenient parking is available, and shopping is
easy without walking the long distance sand fighting the crowds in
the bigger malls.
In most cases you will find just what you
are looking for right here m your hometown store. You will
save time and money, and more important, you will keep vour
money at home where it can do the most tor all of us.
We depend on each other in a small town, and without each
other we could not exist. That we in this area have supported
each other is evident, and the local businessmen are responding
in appreciation.
Friday evening should be a fun night for
all, including those who are turning the butcakes, frying the
eggs and cooking the sausage.

Idaho Legislature on November 7.)
Two years ago the now Governor Andrus beat the then
Governor Samuelson.
This was supposed to indicate to the
rest of the United States that the people of the State of Idaho
were in favor of developing Idaho into a great wilderness
area.
It was supposed to tell the world that the citizens of
this state frowned upon building dams for irrigation, flood
control, and power. We gave the impression that mining was
taboo in Idaho. It appeared as if we all »anted Idaho to stay
just as it was.
All the election two years ago proved was
that Samuelson had made too many enemies in the political
field.
Jim McClure had always been an advocate of the multiple
use of state and federal lands. He hedged on banning dams
on the Middle Snake River forever.
He objected to setting
the White Clouds area aside for back packers only. So the
Idaho press got onto his b4ht., «tecordmg to the press, every

voiced or.
the editorial pages
Not all editur^MMpbay but some of
the city dailies were of the opinion tha^» McClure should
not represent Idaho.
Jim was elected by the people of this
state and if we were to interpret the vote as before we could
come to the conclusion that the citizens of Idaho are not as
wild as some suspect in preserving our forests for the sole
pleasure of out of state back packers and the Sierra Club.
As 1 lave said before, I am not a preservationist. I am a
conservationist. 1 believe in using our lands such as mature
forests and then replanting them for future generations. 1
think more camp grounds should be built in our forests for
the pleasures of those who have neither the time nor ability
to backpack.
I don’t believe in emotional legislation. DDT was banned
in all cases and was never to be legally used again. The
Tussock Moth is destroying hundreds of thousands of acres of
forest land in Oregon. Nothing much is being done to check
the onslaught because nothing effective has been found that
will kill the little beasts.
1 have been told that DDT will destroy them but can’t
be used because it’s illegal. Now which do we want? Should
we spray the Oregon forests with DDT or destroy the forests
because DDT , like calcium, builds up in the body? No human
has been known to die from DDT. Sometimes it's harder to
get a law
the books than it is to get one enacted. Emotional
laws can be a dangerous thing.
