A Personal Message By Dirick Nedry This issue marks the end of the trail for Margaret and 1 as publishers of the Gate City Journal. Exactly seven and one-half years ago we bought the paper from the Brammers, and during this period we have prospered from this trusteeship which we have been privileged to enjoy. The Journal is in its 71st year in Nyssa. During these years it has had several publishers, each a custodian of your newspaper, and each in his way has contributed to the success of the paper and the growth of the city and area. We believe the new publishers. Jim and Geri Peterson, will carry on that tradition of service to the community. They live here, and obviously want to remain here. We are proud that during our tenure the Journal has grown each of those seven years, and that our circulation figures reflect an all-time high. It is important that so many of you read the Journal, and in turn support this community, its schools and institutions, and contribute to its economic well-being. Why retirement? Since it has been generally known that we were selling the Journal, the reaction has been mixed. All the way from “You lucky stiff,” to “What in the world will you do now?” Actually, that decision was made by us a long time ago. I joined the Naval Reserve in 1935, and remained active for over 36 years, accumulating a lot of points towards retirement at age 60. March 13 that goal was reached, and 1 have a new ID Card which says “U. S. Navy, Retired.” Now we plan to take advantage of the Financial security, medical privileges, travel and other benefits which military retirement provides. God willing, we shall. We have some children to visit, some grandchildren to observe in their grow ing up years, and a few places to visit in the United States that we haven't seen yet. We do have some building and playing to do, and a business in North Idaho which needs more attention than we have given it in the past few years. It’s now time to let younger persons serve you as publishers of this newspaper. We wish Jim and Geri Peterson well, and thank our employees, correspondents, readers, advertisers, and friends for the considerations given us during the past few years. Superintendents Corner By W. L McPartland 1 want to personally thank you. Dirick and Margaret, for your help and continued support for the past fifteen years in Nyssa, seven at the school and eight at the newspaper. The support you and your paper have given to the school and community has been positive. Your support of the activities thru the Chamber of Commerce, Ny ssa Lions Club and other community functions in your paper, and your personal dedication have made Nyssa just a little bit better place to live. This is the last issue under your direction. I want you to THANK YOU ! Mr. Ballou's 4th and 6th period Science classes wish to thank the following people for their contributions to our plant study unit: Simplot Soil Builders for the fertilizer; M&W Market for the soil-aid and Bob and Betty Hopkins of Fangen Floral for their expertise on plant soil mix and generally how to raise plants.

Thursday, March 31, 1977 letters ♦n ttje Editor Editor. The Journal: We are of the understand ing that there is a proposal being made to build ten government subsidized apart ments on Ehrgood Avenue betw een 9th and 11 th Streets in Nyssa. We are residents of the neighborhood and are opposed to the addition of the apartments to our neighbor hood for the following rea sons: 1. Seven apartments have just been completed on this same block. By adding another ten apartments, there'll be a minimum of 34 children living in the apart ments. alone. There are no play facilities available or fences on the property. 2. In a Comprehensive Plan Development for Nyssa, one of the issues considered is the need for prospective homebuyers, especially in the middle to upper income range. At this time, the only place in Nyssa where housing of this caliber could be built is in this neighborhood. The lots are priced in the highest price range in Nyssa for residential lots. The building of more of these apartments discourages building better homes in our neighborhood. 3. The sewer from this neighborhood also handles the school, the hospital, and a large church, besides the residential housing. It would be wiser to keep this area for low density housing which the sewer can accommodate. 4. We've viewed the HUD commercials on TV which suggest that the best inte rests of the neighborhood are kept at heart. We've had no say in how our neighborhood should be built up. We are taxpayers and in all fairness a project which is government subsidized ought to be discussed and considered with us before it is brought in next door. We've appealed to the City Planning Commis sion, but to no avail. Apparently we have no control, if outside influences want to determine the growth of our town. We would like interested persons to write Consumer HUD, Washington, D.C. 20410 and state our views in opposition to this project being brought into our neighborhood. Brenda D. Pett Clayton R.
