Miss America
Most Nyssa and Malheur County residents will be watching
television Saturday evening in anticipation of the Miss
America awards. Naturally, we think that Shan Moss. Miss
Oregon and Miss Malheur County, should be picked for Miss
America.
How the judges pick the winner and runners up is
something else, and admittedly they have a tough job. Each
of the 50 girls is tops in her state, and all are beautiful and
talented
Shan has been in Seaside for the last month being groomed
for the contest, which includes learning to walk and talk in
accordance with beauty contest requirements. With her own
natural beauty and talent. Shan will be hard to beat.
We notice that Shan has also been making appearances as
Miss Oregon, a job that she will have throughout the year.
The opportunities for travel, scholarships and experience
makes being Miss Oregon very worthwhile. The publicity
given Nyssa and Malheur County is an added benefit.
We wish Shan all oi the luck possible, and win or lose, we
will be rooting.

To the Frieuda of Sbrteir’s
Hospitals:
Each September for the
past twenty-one years, the
Snake River Shrine Club has
held a benefit auction to raise
money to aid in the support of
the Shriner's Hospitals for
crippled children.
Other than the money that
we raise through these
benefit auctions, we also
solicit produce. foodstuffs,
and supplies for use by the
hospitals which we deliver to
the Portland and the Salt
Lake units during our annual
Shrine Caravans that are held
just for that purpose.
Shriner's Hospitals are not
tax supported. They are
supported by money that is
given by Shriners. or contri
buted by people such as you.
to support this worthwhile
endeavor. There are nine
teen Shriner's Hospitals for
crippled children that give
free orthopedic care and
three Shriner's Burns Insti
tutes.
If you know of any child
needing orthopedic care, just
let a Shriner know and he'll
handle it from there. Re
member—no one stands so
tall as he who stoops to aid a
crippled child.
Soon there will be a
Shriner calling on you to
solicit your help in this
project.
The children at the hos
pitals and the members of the
Snake River Shrine Club
thank you sincerely.
Bob Lanterman,
President
Editor. The Journal:
I would like to say how
much 1 appreciate the efforts
of the Town and Country
Garden Club on the north end
of town. It's a refreshing
change to be met with bright
flowers and green shrubs
each time I enter Nyssa from
that direction. And the Bicen
tennial theme on the point is
attractive and appropriate.
I would like to say thanks
to these ladies for initiating
this project and the many
hours of maintenance they
have put in this summer to
keep it looking nice.
It's projects like this that
help to make us proud of
Nyssa.
