Bulldogs Enjoy Good Season
The Nyssa Bulldogs have completed another successful
football season and we commend them for a good job Had it
not been for a succession of injuries to key. experienced
performers we might well have gone into the game with Vale
Friday evening undefeated. As it was. the boys played
exceptionally well, and we salute the Vikings as a team which
will represent District 7 very well.
Many football fans have come to realize that the calibre of
play in our league equals that played almost anywhere. Both
Nyssa and Vale beat VaUivue, who are SRV champs and Idaho
play-off winners so far Likewise, they both won over Ontario,
which plays tn AAA competition, and has won games in their
league. The Bulldogs only losses were by one touchdown each
in an exceptionally competitive league.
Coaches Art Bullock and Max Brittingham are to be
congratulated on molding a team that played hard-nosed,
exciting football. To the 20 seniors who played their last
game for Nyssa last Friday, we congratulate each of you. and
you will be missed next year.
On the surface, losing 20 seniors would be a tough blow to
any squad. We can take bean for next year by the fact that
our seventh grade, eighth grade, freshman and junior varsity
teams all had winning seasons. Coaches Vernon Lords.
Dennis Savage. Gerald Talbot and Glenn Walker are each to
be congratulated. Good coaching and a winning spirit keeps
the pipeline filled, insuring good competition at the varsity
level.
While handing out accolades, we would also like to
congratulate Coaches Jerry Huntley and Dan Wilson and
their Adrian team, which also had a winning season and gave
the Adrian fans a lot of thrills and good football over the
season.
Reflecting on the Nyssa-Vale game, it represented high
school competition at its very best. Good crowds on both sides
of the field, bands and school spirit, and exceptionally good
football. We have observed close rivalries in other areas, and
too often the teams were more interested in inflicting physical
injury rather than skill on the field. Not so in the intense
inter-school rivalry between Nyssa and Vale, where the
athletes do their best on the field and shake hands when the
game is over. That’s the way it should be.
Football still has a couple of months to go at the college and
professional level, but high school fans can now look forward
to the basketball season We predict another very good
season for Coach Gerald Talbot and his Bulldogs.

Quartet Slated At Owyhee Church
Editor. The Journal:
Thursday night I attended
a Town Meeting where
Nyssa's garbage situation
was discussed. After hearing
the discussions. I found I
must have time to reflect on
the various arguments pre
sented before I could make a
logical decision.
It seems the word '' manda -
tory" was the main bone of
contention between accep
ting or rejecting the Proposed
Garbage Ordinance 454
which states "Mandatory
perishable garbage collec
tion". The word
'Manda
tory' is defined by Webster
as obligatory or constituting
a duty. Thus defined. 1 do
feel it is my duty to accept the
recommendation of the Cou
ncil for a Mandatory Garbage
Collection to make it the
responsibility of all Nysa
residents to pay for keeping
our city clean.
Further. I feel it should be
possible for anyone to be
excused from participation if
he does not in fact need the
service and can maintain his
property in an acceptably
dean condition without it.
Sincerely,
Fred A. Robinson

On behalf of millions of
children who suffer lung-da
maging diesases and the
Malheur County chapter of
the National Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation. I say "thank
you” to the people of Nyssa
and Adrian.
So many people contri
buted generously—not only
in dollars but in valuable time
and effort. The newspapers
•nd the radio stations have
shown interest in reporting
the plight of children and the
efforts of the Breath of Life
Campaign to help them.
This year's goal for Nyssa
was $293 and we raised a
total of $350. This money is
used to support programs of
assistance and education to
help our national programs of
research. Remember 81% of
this money goes for research
to find a cure or control for
Cystic Fibrosis and to de-
vetape better care far chil
dren with lung damaging
disease. We can also be
encouraged that C/F children
are living longer, more
productive lives; and children
with diseases like asthma,
chronic bronchitis, brood-
hiectasis and other king
damaging diseases are being
treated with increasing effec
tiveness.
Our progress is worthy of
recognition and pnde and we
thank all of our friends in
Nyssa and Adrian for making
it possible.
We would like to say a
special thank you to Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Hill of Payette
who donated a Mist-O-Gen to
the Ontario hospital for use in
the new respiratory unit.

The Birch Log
Hammer and Nixon
by John F. MeMoruta
Helmunl. Matwhuurltt — On October 1, a
man named Armand Hammer pleaded guilty in
federal court to a charge of making illegal
contributions to former President Richard
Nixon's 1972 reelection campaign Dr Ham
mer. board chairman and president of the Occi
dental Petroleum Corporation, had concealed a
gift of $64,000, in violation of a 1972 federal law
that requires publication of the identity of large
contributors to political campaigns (Prior to
the effective date of that law. he had already
given the Nixon campaign the first $46,000 of a
$100,000 pledge i Obviously, Dr Hammer had
some powerful reason for keeping his support for
Nixon quiet
Images Versus Realities
Most Americans know that Richard Nixon
enjoyed a reputation as an anti-Communiat He
achieved it through hia highly publicized but
actually minor role in the exposure of Alger Hiss
in the late 1940s On the strength of that single
ac t and a great deal of rhetoric, Richard Nixon
was catapulted into a prominence that carried
him all the wav to the White House
( lose watchers of the former President, how
ever. have never been (exiled by Nixon's anti-
Communist image The real Nixon was re
vealed to increasing numbers of Americans
after he became President, as he blazed a trail
to one Communist Socialist goal after another
It was Nixon who brought legitimacy to Mao
Tse tung; who engineered fantastic increases in
the size and reach of the federal government;
who gloried in our shameful capitulation in
Southeast Axia, and who delegated enormous
power to Henry Kissinger and a host of other
left leaning appointees
No. Richard Nixon was never a real anti-
Communiat. But for some who might require
additional evidence to support our view, we
suggest a Icxik into the background of Nixon-
contributor Armand Hammer It is highly sig
nificant that this man would go to euch lengths
to help the man with the anti-Communist
image For Armand Hammer haa bean a lifelong
pro-Communiat
Who la Armand Hammer?
Seventy seven vearold Armand Hammer is
the son of Dr Julius Hammer, a close friend of
Soviet dictator lenin and a founder of the
American Communiat Party. In 1921 the senior
Hammer sent Armand to Russia, where he was
warmly received by the Bolshevik leader. Young
Armand had brought along large shipmenta of
goods needed to sustain the revolution In re
turn, he was given a monopoly in pencil manu
lecturing, an operation that netted him over 11
million in profits the very first year. Lanin later
inscribed a portrait of himaelf to "Comrade
Armand Hammer." as evidence of his affection
Hammer stayed on in the Soviet Union until
1931. During this period he amaaaed a fortune
by gathering the priceless art treasures that had
been stolen from the Russian aristocracy by the
('omni uniats. He then took hu fortune out of
Russia - he was one of very few able to do to —
and made additional millions producing whiskey
and raising livestock in the United States In
1967, he acquired the Occidental Petroleum
Corporation. In recent years, he has befriended
Khrushchev and Brethnev, while becoming the
largest beneficiary of the tai-supported U S.
trade that keeps the Reds in business
An Important Point
The point we wish to stress about all of thia is
that thia notorious pro Communist, a friend
and agent of every Soviet dictator and a bene
ficiary of Red tyranny, obvioualy wanted to
keep Richard Nixon in the White Houae. Thia ia
the story that ought to be headlined, not the
mere fact of Hammer's violation of a campaign
contribution law. But don't waste time looking
for thia story elsewhere, because you won't find
it. The Nixon policies that so appealed to Dr
Hammer are being continued by Preeident
Ford, and the American people have been told
that euch perfidy is progress
