One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Jim Robinson Benefit Once again the heart and help of a small community has been extended to a family in need. We refer to efforts now underway to help the family of Jim Robinson. Almost everyone knows Jim. Young and personable, he has been the local Farmers Insurance Agent for the past eight years. During this time he has been active in the business and community affairs of this city. As a child, Jim had hepatitis, and has suffered from its effects on and off ever since. Two years ago he was hos pitalised for four weeks with liver failure. During the months of January and most of February he was hospitalized in Portland while undergoing two very extensive and serious operations. Due to the extended nature of his illness, Jim has not been able to secure additional insurance, and his present insurance has been exhausted. Several weeks ago, a money tree was established, and se veral hundred dollars in donations were received. Much more is needed, however, and a group of friends have organized a committee to help in a much more substantial way. Sunday afternoon a musical show will be presented at Nyssa High School Cafetonum, featuring the Capital Singers from Boise and a variety of local talent. Everything is donated, and all proceeds go to the Robinson family. Tickets are only $1.00 and everyone is urged to buy a ticket or tickets, whether or not they can attend the show. Door prizes of a color television set and a 10-speed bicycle will be given, and both of these valuable prizes were donated. The TV by Parma Furniture and the bicycle by the Nyssa Merc and Nyssa Lions Club. Jim returned home last weekend, but recovery is slow and it will be some time before he can return to work. We commend those committee members who have worked so hard to help a friend and neighbor in distress, but it can only be a complete success if all of us pitch in. Don't Sign Recall Petition We understand that efforts are being made to recall Circuit Judge Jeff D. Dorroh, Jr. We haven’t seen the petitions yet, but we certainly don’t intend to sign one, and we urge that you don’t either. The persons circulating the petitions object to Judge Dorroh’s actions in two instances, according to news reports. The first relates to a salary increase sought by the judge for his secretary. This is being settled in court, and is a matter of judicial de termination. The second relates to Judge Dorroh setting aside the verdict of guilty against James Brandon, who had been found guilty of five charges of negligent homicide. In this case the judge ap parently found that there was insufficient evidence to justify a finding of guilty and this is not only his perogative but his duty under the law. Our judicial system and Consitution provide for separation of powers, and the administration of justice should not be the subject of popular vote or recall. According to the Malheur County Bar Association, a judge should have a right to con scientiously make his decision without the threat of a recall petition being filed by those who disagree with him. The Le gislature has provided means to appeal the decisions made by a judge through the higher courts, and this is as it should be. The rule of many is fine for political decisions, but a court decision has to be made by a duly constituted judge and who else is there to protect the rights of an individual in court? We object to recall petitions being circulated against public officials just because we disagree with them. The recall should only be used where there is proven malfeasance in office. Re calls only destroy confidence in public office, and put neighbor against neighbor to disrupt local government. Judge Hirai, Sam Hartley and other county officers are just now entering into a new term of county government. They should be allowed to pursue the wishes of the voters and get their feet on the ground, without the cloud of a recall fight hanging over the County Court House. BLM MAKES OIL The Bureau of Land Mana gement has mailed the State of Oregon a check for $7,222.- 69, today as its share of money collected during the last six months of 1972 from mineral leasing on national resource lands, formerly called public lands, within the state. Oregon receives semi-an nual payments of 37.5 percent of the revenue collected by the Bureau of Land Management within the state from mineral leasing bonuses, rentals, and OBITUARIES LETTERS Doni«l VanScoy TO Jehovah's Witnesses To Hold Bible Training Convention THE EDITOR To the people of Nyssa, Although I am not currently a resident of the City of Kuna, I feel that ] have the right to speak as an alumni of that community’s high school. 1 would like to apologize for the incident at Kuna in which a Nyssa player was assaulted by a Kuna resident following the game. I, as well as other Kuna fans are hoping that pro per action is taken against this individual. The incident spoiled what was, up to that point, an ex cellent basketball game. I think all of the real basketball fans in the gymnasium could see that Kuna was defeated by one of the best clubs to ever play in that structure. As a former sports editor, I would like to voice the opinion that the Nyssa team could hold its own against just about any team in Idaho, no matter what size the school. And along with being excellent players, the Bulldogs also show some of the best sportmanship seen in the area. The school’s cheering section should also be compli mented on its sportsmanship. I’m sure that Nyssa too has individuals of the type who caused the problem at Kuna. The type of small minded per son who commits such an act is in every community. The real Kuna fans hope that you rea lize that they dispise this type of behavior as much as you do. Sincerely, Wayne Cornell 320 7th Ave. So. Nampa, Idaho Editor, The Journal: Please renew my subscrip tion for another year. We always look forward to receiving our "hometown” paper every week, although it is usually a week old by the time we receive it. We always look for news of the family.
