Welcome, Rockhounds I
Once again we take this opportunity to welcome visitors
from many parts of the United States and Canada, as
Rockhounds gather for Nyssa's tenth annua) Thunderegg
Days.
To our visitors we extend greetings from Nyssa and
Treasure Valley residents, and know that you will find the
kind of hospitality and friendliness typical of our part of the
country. You will find Nyssa merchants and their staffs
cordial and well-equipped to take care of your every need, and
ail of our service people are ready to serve you if needed.
To our local residents, we remind you that our visitors are
very interesting people, and most of them have been all over
the country in search of rocks and gems. The fact that so
many return each year to Nyssa speaks well for our area, and
it is worth your time to get acquainted with them.
The Nyssa Lions Club will again host the barbecue
Thursday evening, and this is always one of the best dinners
served anywhere, with the tasty beef cooked over the pit and
served with our fresh golden corn.
On Friday evening the ice cream social put on by the
Methodist Church is another enjoyable event. Ice cream, cake
and good fellowship is a combination just as popular today as
it was in the early days of this community.
A new event this year is the watermelon feed Saturday
night, put on by the Nyssa JayCees. Stop by these feeds
before going to the rock show in the old gym. Excellent
exhibits are displayed, and a visit with the tailgate» is also a
rewarding experience, with rocks and gems displayed from all
parts of the country.
The Sports Boosters will again hold their carnival Thursday
and Friday evenings, with proceeds going to bolster the high
school athletic programs. Started last year, this event proved
very popular, and the opportunity to dunk some well-known
citizen in the tank is irresistable. Games of chance and skill
make for an enjoyable time.
So once again we welcome our vishon.and hope that your
stay in Nyssa is both enjoyable and profitable, and that you
will come back again in future yean.

THE EDITOR
. Editpt. The Journal:
Enclosed is my check for
another year's subscription
to your fine paper and it's
* many fine features. Although
1 have been away for a great
many years. I still call it
home and I guess I always
will.
1 thought the following
might be of some interest to
the real oldtimers.
Do you remember
In the winter time, hooky
bobbing betnd wagons as
they pulled down main
Street?
Skating down the old
Wilson Ditch all the way to
Arcadia Lake?
Going over the Snake River
Badge into Idaho to coast on
the slopes of the foothills?
In the summer time,
walkingout to the "Big Ditch**
to go swimming? 1 think our
favorite spot was just above
the old Gibson farm. —And.
maybe helping ourselves to
some fruits from the orchard
on the way back to town?
Playing hooky the first
warm day of spring to go
swimming in the Snake River
Slough?
As youngsters picking up a
few dollars driving derrick
during the summer time?
These are just a few of my
many memories of my
childhood days in Nyssa. I
have lots more that I like to
recall. It was a good place to
grow up in.
1 just couldn't resist
including the above in my
letter. I hope that I haven't
made a bore of myself in
recounting the above.
Sincerely.

Dear Journal,
Hi. I'm in Nigata, Japan. I

match by a pin in the firet

10-3.
We have two more mat
ches left.
Then on August 4, we head
to Hawaii for four days,
arriving in Portland August
8.
Over here we have par
ticipated in such things as
basketball, baseball, arm
wrestling, swimming and
kindo fighting. We stay at

homes. I will write later.
Sincerely.
