OBITUARIES
Welcome, Rockhounds I
For the eleventh straight year. Rockhounds are gathering
from all parts of the United States and Canada for Nyssa
Thunderegg Days.
We extend greetings to our visitors on behalf of Nyssa and
Treasure Valley residents. We know that you will find the
kind of hospitality and friendliness typical of this area, one of
the reasons why so many of you have returned for one or more
times. So many of you now seem more like neighbors than
visitors, and it is nice to see you again.
Nyssa merchants are staffed and ready to take care of your
every need while here, and you will find them cordial and
their prices reasonable. All of our service people are ready to
serve you if needed.
To our local residents, we remind you that Rockhounds are
a hardy and interesting group of people, and we suggest that
you get acquainted with them. Thev have traveled over the
country in search of rocks and gems, and the fact that thev
come here, many as repeat visitors, speaks well for this area.
The Nyssa Lions Club will again host the barbecue
Thursday evening. This has become zn event that people look
forward to. and the combination of barbecued beef cooked in
a pit. fresh golden corn, and good fellowship under the big
trees is hard to beat.
Friday evening the annual ice cream social put on by the
Methodist Church is another enjoyable event. Ice cream, cake
and companionship is just as popular today as it was in the
early days of this community.
The Police Reserve is taking on the task of providing the
watermelon feed on Saturday evening. These all precede the
rock show, which is really the big event of the week, and
always attracts thousands of visitors from al) parts of the
valley. The exhibits this year will be in the halls of the
elementary school. Excellent exhibits, some of the best seen
anywhere, are open to the public at no charge. Next year this
show will have new quarters in the multi-purpose room now
under construction.
We hope that you Rockhounds have an enjoyable stay in
Nyssa, that you find lots of rocks, and that you will want to
return again next year.

dates to refrain from attach

"concerned" about the sa

“We urge candidates to

Nails used to attach pos

another hazard since they can
