Danny Needs Your lood
By Vera McCrady
Yea, his name is Danny
Moreno. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Carlos Moreno of
South Second Street in
Nyssa. He has a brother,
Georite, and three sisters.
Lolita. Angie and Anna.
We have seen a lot of this
little family the last four
years, as they live at the back
of our yard. Danny is a very
special young person to his
family and to us. as he has
had three open heart sur
geries in less than three
years. That helps to make our
two famuies closer, as Red
had open heart surgery in
July, before Danny had his
first surgery in October of
1972. Then in February of
1974. his second and he
underwent his third surgery
July 24. 1975
Fred Robinson
Appointed
Danny Moreno
He is a very brave and
sensitive little boy who just
turned 12 years old on June
21. Medically and physically,
he has undergone more than
most of us go through in a
lifetime. Danny is not going
to get to start school this fall
as his doctors in Boise want
him to get lots of rest and be
quiet. When he docs get to
attend school, his teachers
and classmates must realize
that Danny is going to need a
lot of help and cooperation to
help him win his battle and
keep him going All he wants
to do is to be healthy so he
can run and play like other
boys and girls But he will
need help.
Danny never asks for
sympathy or complains and
unless you ask him how he
feels, you probably would
never know. He loves buil
ding models and this is one of
his hobbies that he can do
while regaining his strength.
Yes. Danny is trying to get
well, but he still needs your
help as do many others who
have had surgery. Why?’
These surgeries require ma
ny units of blood, and without
blood banks and the many
blood donatams, these sur
geries could not be done
How?’ Donate a pint of blood
at the Blood Drawing. Wed
nesday, August 27, at the
Eagles Hall, 2 p.m. - 6 p m.
The Chamber of Com
merce will set the unit up and
the Church of the Nazarene
will be hostess.
Donate a pint of blood in
Danny Moreno's name to
replace some he has used.
I'm sure Danny would say
"thanks" for helping him to
get well.
We say 'thanks
again for the blood given so
generously for both Red and
Danny in the last three years.
Please help, give a small part
of you. so that Danny and
many others may become a
whole person, healthy and
happv. able to run. walk and
play.
We are the Moreno's

Application forms are be

letter to parents. Additional
copies are available at the
principal's office in each
school. The information pro
vided on the application is
confidential and will be used
only for the purpose of

In certain cases foster
children are also eligible for
these benefits. If a family has
foster children living with
them and wishes to apply for
such milk for them, it should

sion. The policy contains an
outline of the hearing proce
dure.
Each school and the office
of the Superintendent has a
copy of the complete policy
which may be reviewed by an
interested party.
The Interior Department's
Bureau of Outdoor Recrea
tion (BOR) will lead a
Federal-State study to de
termine if a 115-mile stretch
of the Owyhee River, in
southeastern Oregon, is eli
gible for membership on the
National Wild and Scenic
Rivers System.
As a first step in the study.
BOR
will hold several
informal public information
meetings to explain the
processes and goals of the
study. The first meetings are
planned for 2 p.m. and 7p.m.
on September 10. at the
Treasure Valley Community
College Student Union in
Ontario. Oregon. Two addi
tional public information
meetings are scheduled for 2
p.m. and 7 p.m.. on
September 11, 1975 at St.
Bernards Catholic Church in
Jordan Valley. Oregon.
The Owyhee study is
required by the National
Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
which names the stream as
one of 56 rivers, in all parts of
the Nation, to be studied as
potential additions to the
national system. The Parks
and Recreation Branch of the
Oregon State Highway Di
vision. U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Oregon
Department of Fish and
Game. Interior's Bureau of
Land Management and the
U. S. Forest Service will join
BOR in the study effort.
This study will focus on the
main stem of the Owyhee’s
South Fork, from the Oregon
Idaho border downstream to
the Owyhee Reservoir. Por
tions of this stretch are
already in the Oregon State
Waterways System. Upon
completion of the study BOR
will report its recommenda
tions as to whether the
Owyhee is qualified for the
national system and. if
qualified, how the river
should be classified and
which agency or agencies
should be responsible for its
management The final de
cision on adding of the
Owyhee River to the National
Wild and Scenic Rivers
System will be made by the
U. S. Congress.
The National Wild and
Scenic Rivers System was
created in 1968. It contains
12 of America’s finest wild,
scenic and recreational rivers
including three—the Middle
Fork of the Clearwater.
Idaho; Rogue. Oregon and
the Middle Fork of the
Salmon. Idaho—in the North
west.
Cyclists To Be Cited If
Violating Bike Laws
As the school year fast
approaches the thoughts of
bike riders becomes a great
concern for the
Police
Department. In an effort to
prevent accidents we caution
parents to instruct their
children regarding bicycle
safety.
Quite frequently officers
are witnessing violations of
the traffic laws by bike
riders. In the future, written
warnings will be mailed to
the parent of the violator and
a copy will be sent to the
Juvenile Department. Of
fenders stopped for a second
time will then receive a
citation and will be required
to appear in juvenile court.
To better acquaint the
parents and youngsters, the
following State and Chy
Regulations are listed:
ORS 483.034 states Every
person riding a bicycle upon
a roadway Is «abject to the
pres talons of this Chapter
applicable to the driver of a
vehicle.
In addition the Nyssa Citv
Code prohibits riding on
sidewalks and riding at a
speed greater than Is reason
able and prudent under the
conditions existhig.
No parent of any child shall
authorize or permit a minor
child to violate any of the
provisions of this chapter.
Parents should also remind
their children to register their
bikes at the Police Station.
This registration is most
helpful in cases of theft or
loss. There is no charge for
this service.

Commerce lunceon for the
