MALHEUR COUNTY’S LARGEST NEWSPAPER VOLUME XXIV NO. 32 NYSSA. OREGON. FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1930 ELIZABETH LEIGH WILL CLOSE LONG TERM IN OFFICE f « News has been received in tqwn of a pending change o f postmastership in Nyssa. e Mrs. Leigh, incumbent, began work in the office in 1910 as assistant to her father who was then postmaster. In 1912 she received the appointment as postmaster from President Taft, and was again reappointed by Presi dents Wilson, Harding and Coolidge. To date she has completed twenty years in the postoffice service in Nyssa. and through all these years she has served with notable faithful ness and efficiency.

Mr. Smith is well known in and around Nyssa, having been em ployed by the Eder Hardware Co., for several years. OBITUARY The subpect of this sketch, Edith, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Lindsey was born at Oakland, Colo., October 14, 1919, and died at East Portal, Colo., April 27, 1930. Funeral services were held in Fras er, Colo., on the afternoon o f April 30. While playing Edith came in con tact with a live wire and was elec trocuted. Death was instantaneous. It is comforting to believe it was pain less. She was a bright little girl, a generous playmate and a loving, dutiful daughter. She made wonder ful progress in all her school work and was dearly loved by her teacher and all her schoolmates. To the bereaved family we ex tend our heartfelt sympathy though conscious that nothing we can say can heal so deep a wound. We can not fathom the depth o f infinite wis dom. In our pilgrimage here we often reach a limit where reason can pene trate no farther and where faith lights the way and we can acquiesce in the divine will. Only wheti the will is in harmony with God’s will can we utter that sublime expression of complete submission, ‘ Not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Having sown in God’s acre this resurrection seed the bereaved par ents may come again with rejoicing bearing a sheaf with them for that which was sown a natural body shall t * Miss Bigelow Vale Teacher Sunday Bride The country home of Mr. and Mrs. ' .Silas D. Bigelow on the Owyhee was the scene of a pretty wedding Sunday morning when Miss Juanita A. Bige low, Vale high school teacher, was wedded to Mr. Carl A. Jungquist, Vale project surveyor. An altar o f flowers decorated the living room. The cere mony was performed at 9 o’clock by the Rev. Edgar A. Pollock, Vale pas tor. The bride was charming in a gown o f flowered moire taffeta. She car ried a bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley. Her only attendant, Miss Velma Allen, wore printed chiffon in golden shades and carried a bouquet o f sweet peas and roses. Mr. Louis Ackerman acted as best man. Miss Lois James played the wedding march. The simple ceremony was attend ed by immediate relatives of the bride and a few friends o f the young couple, Mrs Jphn Boswell, Miss Jac queline Honeywell and Louis Miles. A delightful wedding breakfast was served by Mrs. Bigelow and Mrs. R. R. Overstreet. Immediately after, Mr. and Mrs. Jungquist left for a brief honeymoon in Portland. They returned to Vale Wednesday evening and after June 1st will be at home to friends at the Frank Chester residence. They have the hearty good wishes o f many friends in the Vale and Owyhee com munities. NOTICE Due to the dangerous nature of the work on the Owyhee Dam it will be necessary to ex clude all visitors from the work until further notice. THOROUGHBRED POLICE Pups for sale reasonable.

NYSSA VICTIMS OF GOLF ARE NUMEROUS Spreading rapidly through the | past two weeks an epigpnic directly traceable to Parma has fastened it self on the citizenry of Nyssa and bids fair to go on unchecked. About May 16 Ray Wilson and Dr. Mitchell o f Parma visited with a number o f local citizens and when they left it was found that about twenty local people had been ex posed to the incurable disease of GOLF. In rare instances those ex posed overcome the affilction but the cures are so infrequent that no hope is held for the local exposes. The only relief from the itch caused by the vicious bite of the Golf Bug is to visit some g olf course and try to emulate Bobby Jones and Don Moe. This gives temporary relief but only aggravates the condition so that continued relief is constantly being sought. Probably the most severely bitten ones were Klass Tensen and Aden Wilson. The attack was so severe that they felt the need of eighteen holes to give them relief. The re action from such a severe initial dose has left them rather stiff and sore so that it will probably be sev ers days before they take another dose. It has been learned that Dr. Norcott was already a victim of the disease before coming to Nyssa which no doubt accounts for the ease with which it took hold here. Other victims include Dr. Sarazin, Eddie Powell, Marlin Wilson, C. L. McCoy, Roy Willoughby and Omer Adkinson. The last named had the misfortune to break two o f his clubs during the first treatment but like a true addict was not deterred from taking further treatment. It is also rumored that several ladies o f Nyssa have been bitten but the virus has not yet a f fected them enough for them to seek the golf course to bat the elusive pill about.
