/ NYSSA. OREGON GATEWAY TO THE OWYHEE AND BLACK CANYON IRRIGATION PROJECTS FIND HAVEN IN PHOENIX CAMP - T LODGES AND CLUBSL JOIN EF FORTS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR IN FANTILE PARALYSIS FOUNDA-. TION ESTABLISHED BY PRESI DENT ROOSEVELT. When Kenneth Williams and his cousin went south several weeks ago, they were looking for work. Being young and unmarried and in the transient or "gypsy” class, they found Jobs as scarce as "hen’s teeth.” But this proved a good world after all. They heard of a boys’ camp opened by the govern ment at Phoenix, Ariz., so they went to look it over. It proved to be a sort of outdoor college with a welcome for all boys. Kenny and his pal study auto mechanics in the morning and in the afternoon attend radio school. A cot and three square meals a day are thrown in for good measure. Kenny says the boys’ camps, established In many of the larger cities, are fine, If they are all like the one at Phoenix. All lodges and civic groups of the city will combine efforts In sponsoring a Birthday Ball for President Roosevelt on January 30, Joinng countless towns and cities who are making like plans throughout the nation. All proceeds will be used for a permanent endow ment fund for the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation for Infantile Par alysis, while the event in each city will pay tribute to the President on his 52nd birthday January 30.

A heartening stability was pictured. J. B. Bretherton, member of the NRA compliance board of Boise, gave an ex cellent talk on the national recovery program and also explained the work ings of his particular board. The rais ing of prices, out of line with increased costs resulting from NRA compliance, was rapped by several speakers. President J. C. Palumbo of Pavette painted a brighter picture for apple growers. He reported that a solid train load of apples Is leaving this valley for the cast at the present time. He shipped 18 cars to Rotterdam, Holland, this week. Every day inquiries come from brewers of wine. He believes re peal will stimulate apple prices—as well as individuals. Mr. Palumbo announced that the next meeting will be held In Boise in February. Frank Morgan of Nyssa, sec retary of the associated chambers, was instructed to send a copy of the min utes of each meeting to all chamber members.

Three Rum Plans Are Studied By State Board; Applications Many Three Plans Studied The commission is considering three plans. The state can Install Us own stores. It can deputize agents, who may be business men or firms already estab lished In a town to handle sales on a salary basis. It can, if the community is large enough install Us own stores and In addition deputize agents who would work on a salary basis. "The problem presents many angles.” said Sammis. "but we’re working hard on it and will be prepared to go as soon as the supreme court sustains the validity of the act.” The ruling Is ex pected without undue delay.
