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.

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

We haven’t been home for 3
