IF EVERYBODY WERE
PUBLIC SPIRITED—
Baker Democrat-Herald
w:
’ OULDN’T it be great to live in a town
where everybody was public spirited?
Where there was eager competition for places of
labor in the service clubs, lodges, churches, Y.
M. and Y. W., boy and girl scouts, chamber of
commerce and other organized activities. Where
everyone gave his or her share, always boosted
what would help the community and never
knocked.
Yes, we know. There is no such town. It’s the
same sad story everywhere. A few doing the
work, some more helping with money but not
much time or effort, the great majority holding
back, henefitting from the efforts of the few but
contributing precious little to the cause. From
coast to coast and doubtless in foreign countries
this holds true.
Of course not everybody can work in and con­
tribute to .everything. One man can be active in
a lodge or two. He likes that sort of thing. An­
other can do his bit for the church or Y, another
can serve on the chamber and club committees.
Only the richest can contribute to everything,
there are so many oganizations now days who
are doing useful, worthwhile work.
But everybody ought to be doing his bit some­
where. Life doesn’t stop with working, earning
a living or even supporting a family. There is a
community to be bettered, else one’s own life as
a citizen of it will be incomplete. Public spirited­
ness is after all only enlightened selfishness. You
have a hard time taking more out of anything
than there is in it. There can’t be a good com­
munity without a large number of people work­
ing for it, and if they do work for it they will be
well repaid.
Look around and see if there isn’t a plaice for
your surplus energies .unless you happen to be
one of the conrmaratively few who are now carry­
ing the bulk of the load.
STRONG NEED FOR
CITY PLANNING—
ITH Nyssa definitely on the verge of in­
W
and a greatly ex­
creased industrial activity
acti
panded building program, right now is the time
for city planning. W hen the new activity arrives
no one is going to have time to think about city
nlanning. Buildings and homes are going up
nelter-ske
lelter-skelter unless a definite program is map­
ped in advance.
Maybe it was because land was not at a pre­
mium when the pioneer founders of Nyssa first
laid out the town, but th.e townsite covers an
area large enough to accomodate a population
several times the size of Nyssa. As these vacant
places fill in, it is important that a definite plan
be followed. Care must be taken that streets are
amply wide for all purposes; sidewalk improve­
ments must be extended; water and sewer ex­
tensions will have to be made. Provision should
be made for a city park and other necessary civic
improvements. Lets plan Nyssa to make it the
city beautiful. Steps have been taken in this dir­
ection bv the city administration but if the city
is to he built to a certain goal, teeth will have to
be put in the ordinance requiring ALL persons
building within the city limits to get a permit.
This practice has been followed within the fire
limits, but there is an ordinance now on the
books reouiring a permit by the city council be­
fore ANY building can be constructed within the
city limits. Unfortunately this rule has not always
been followed and we see rudely constructed
shacks built in districts which should be reserved
for better type buildings. Before this rule can be
efficiently enforced, it will require a united
public opinion, and a DEMAND for it’s enforce­
ment. It is up to the public if these things are to
be done.

Oregon doctors are a little upset
because the poll of editors shows the
scribes favor the hospital associa­
tions as against the medical soc­
ieties. What do the Doc's expect?
Their campaign just shut off the
hospital
association advertising
which was not a very hot move with
ye eds, and that calls up the old
story about the doctor who com ­
plained that his name was not men­
tioned in connection with a birth,
then the Editor who offered to
mention his name as each was
recorded followed the same policy
in regard to deaths.
