One Year................... $6.00 Six Months.................. $4.00 Nyssa Continues To Progress Three news stories on the front page of this issue of the Journal are of considerable significance to the residents of the Nyssa trade area. We refer to the announcement of th« Grand Opening of the new Gambles store, the announcement that plans are completed and work is underway on remodeling the old Nyssa Theater to provide additional and much-needed facilities and space to the Twilight Cafe, and the announce ment that a new mobile home park is ready for occupancy. Cities thrive and continue to prosper only with the addition of new blood, new facelifting, new municipal improvements and a constant upgrading of existing facilities. This is true not only of cities, but of homes, businesses, and all property. There is no standing still, only progress or decline. There is a popular desire among some people right now for the status quo, leaving things just as they are, and zero growth. This is a desirable and fanciful dream, except that it won't work. If the old house doesn't get a new coat of paint, a new roof, and a little modernizing once in awhile it’s only a short time before it looks like some we saw in Centerville last week. That's true of Mam Street, each individual business, and the whole town in general. So our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Buker and family for their shiny new Gambles Store. They looked around, had many choices of places to invest their money and live, and they picked Nyssa. Like the rest of us, they came here by their own choice, and we hope that they prosper. Their new business will add to an already excellent shopping and business district, and will make our town just a little bit better place in which to live, work and shop. Congratulations also to Guy Sparks and Fred Bennett for the very big job of turning the old Nyssa Theater into very fine restaurant improvements and new business spaces. Here's a case where oldtimers in the community have enough faith in their town to invest their own money to make it better. The plans call for the Twilight Cafe to be one of the better restaurants in the valley, and it will be great to have adequate banquet facilities available so that we won’t have to go to neighboring towns for every gathering, in fact we predict that in the future groups from neighboring towns will come to Nyssa for their banquets. Again, congratulations to Guy Sparks and his partner Roger Baker for the new mobile home park. More and more people have found that the mobile home meets their housing needs, and additional, modern spaces for these homes is a must in every town. Underground utilities and landscaping will add much to the north end of town. We have seen many fine improvements in both the business section and the residential sections of Nyssa, and more will come. We are told that plans are nearly complete and we can expect an announcement in the near future on construction of the new Nyssa branch of First National Bank of Oregon. Our economy is good, the future is bright, and we can be thankful that our progress is sound and steadily upward. We can also be thankful tha| this is recognized by both new comers to our area, and the old faithful as well. Wedding Bond. Take »lock in Amenta Give L.S.
