One Year..................... $6.00 Six Months.................... $4.00 Important Events Recognized Several events of more than passing interest have oc curred in our town and area in this past week, and in the days to come, each important enough to deserve editorial comment and recognition. PEREZ RECEIVES ANNAPOLIS APPOINTMENT What an achievement for a young man who has demon strated his ability in the classroom, in athletics, in the arts, and in class leadership. To top it off, he also received an appointment to the Air Force Academy, which he declined in favor of the Navy. Manuel will join Keith Oldemeyer, who will be a first classman (senior) next year. It would be our hope that a man from Nyssa is always at the Naval Academy, and the other military academies as well. Our “first line of defense" needs the kind of officer material that our area can produce, and has produced in the past. And what a tremendous education and career opportunity for these young men! EXPO ’74 OPENS SATURDAY Spokane’s World’s Fair opens Saturday, May 4, and it has been exciting to read and know about the work and plans for this great exposition that* will run through November 3. Millions of visitors throughout the United States and other countries will visit this fair, and it will give them an opportunity to see our pjrt of the country as well. President and Mrs. Nixon will join Washington Sena tors Warren Magnuson and Henry Jackson and other dignitaries in formally opening the world’s fair at 11:15 a.m. Saturday, and each day thereafter will be full of events and exhibits until it closes six months later. The theme of the fair is “Celebrating tomorrow's fresh new environment,” and we look forward to a visit. We will never have a world’s fair any closer. SCHOOL ELECTION TUESDAY, MAY 7 Nyssa school district voters will go to the polls Tuesday to vote for two directors and the school budget. An important election, because our schools are our most expensive part of our local taxes, and they deserve con tinued good management. The levy is down this year, our board and teachers acted sensibly and responsibly in their negotiations, and they deserve our support. Don’t forget to vote Tuesday. BLOOD DRAWING ATTRACTS 13 STUDENTS For the first time, to our knowledge, highschool students have participated in the Red Cross Blood Drawing. We commend them, and predict that with their help we will soon meet our quota again, as we did regularly for many years. We have wondered when this would happen. The voting age was lowered to 18 a few years ago, but this is the first evidence of these young adults getting involved in community responsibilities. It’s time, audit’s welcome, and we would hope that we will see more of this kind of involve ment in the future. Our thanks also to Mrs. Wilson, cnairman of the blood drawing, and all the organizations and individuals who make this community an important contributor. LATIN ASSEMBLY OF GOD BREAKS GROUND SUNDAY Our congratulations to this relatively young church in our community. They have struggled for many years in small and inadequate facilities, but through faith and enlightened leadership have grown into one of our areas strongest congregations. Their achievements, particularly among the Mexican-American young people of Nyssa is remarkable. Now they will have their own fine house of worship. The Assembly of God Church, we understand, has nearly 1,000 Latin Assembly churches in the United States, operate five colleges to train their ministers, and pro vide grade schools, high schools, day-care centers and drug prevention centers throughout our country. •**- • '*■ • to • « W. -w- « -to. * -to. » - SUNSET VALLEY ACTIVITIES ----- BY MARTHA LORENSEN - PHONE 372 - 2186 ------- SUNSET VALLEY - Mr. and Mrs. Vernal Brandt of Neligh, Nebraska arrived by plane Sunday night and are guests at the home of cousins, the Wilbur Chapin's.
