the excellence of our youth ■ ttotir setexastK achievements,
their athletic ability and their skills a busk drama, and the
maay other areas in whack they excel.
Nov it seems we must be extra oonsc km » of the beauty of
our yxwsng laAen, because they are act only beautiful ta our
eyes, but in the eyes of ¡«fes trained to evaluate these at­
tributes on highly eoapetinve level.
Beauty, as such, means different t.umgs to tdfereat people.
• e claim » t* as expert in this retard as most, but we also
a<teit that to describe these attributes is very Xfhcalt.
he like the eleM-cvt. well-scrubbed, .xMAxv-type healthy
kihd of beauty we are used to seeing m Nyssa, and so do the

ladies fr.'u < through grade and tugt scb.-cl and into college
Awtapiat their skills in the band, chorus, drama and other
activities w our schools, churches and ccenmunity Not beauty
queens, especially, but just good all-around young citxiens.

LETTER

EDITOR
Sylvia Alma Fox
Dear Governor
I am writing to you in re­
ference to the very serious
drought condition and the feed
situation far livestock for the
Fall and * inter months.
It is estimated that Harney
County will be short at least
50% in hay production and Fall
and Winter will hr very short
also.
It has teen br xight to m> at­
tention that a supplemental feed
can tv bought through the ASCS
office, if Harney County is de­
clared a disaster area. 1 have
heard of hay teing shipped into
Haraey County at a price of
$40-$ 50 a ton. The real prob­
lem is that it is getting harder
to find and the price is going
higher each day. We are ia a
time when stockmen should not
sell cows and reduce produc­
tive. However, if they cannot
find W inter feed this will hap-
P«-
If we can get supplemental
feed througt the ASCS pr.<ram,
it will help relieve this situa­
tion. Therefore, »e are asking
that Harney County tv decla­
red a disaster area.
As President of the Oregon
Cattlemec's Association I am
asking veur sigport for this
program.
Ttr Aigt a copy of this letter,
I am mforcunc other county
livestock associations of this
action. I am sure other Oregon
cownces are experiencing simi­
lar drought protiems. No foubt
we will tv heir mg from them
asking for similar relief

cave, located approximalely 40
miles south and a little west
of Juntura.
The men are inviting all in­
terested area resiAnis to ac­
company them on the trip to
the cave site.
A Journal reporter contacted

Malheur cave.
He said the
monument is now owned by the
Burns Masonic Lodge, having
been AeAd to them approx!
mately two or three years ago
by the feAril government
The walls of the cave con­
tain Indian writings, indicating
that the red men probably dis­
covered it a number of years
ago.
Porter told this reporter that
the entrance to the cave is
approximately 10 feet high and
20 feet wiA, located on a hill-
siA in otherwise flat country.
Tbe tunnel slants Awnward and
eventually opens into a large
natural amphitheater where the
lake is located.
It is there
that tbe men plan to do their
unArwater diving, hoping to
come up with historical findings
The historical spot has be­
come pretty well known through­
out the United States.
