Claire Baldridge of Parma was elected president; W. J. Pinney o f On tario, .vice-president; and Lee Fisk of Parma, secretary, at the annual meet ing of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the Snake river valley in Emmett Monday evening. Retiring o f ficers ware J. C. Palumbo of Payette, former president; and Frank T. M or gan, secretary the past year. Representing Marshall N. Dana of Portland, chairman of the Oregon planning committee for federal emer gency relief administration, C. A. M c Clure gave an interesting report on the line-up for FERA. He stated that the plan is to have each community repre sented by a local planning committee which would devise projects of public benefit. This committee is to be ap pointed by the mayor which will act with himself, the city attorney and city engineer. Mr. McClure stated that the Administration held the view that the C W A program was a success to the end that it provided labor for unem ployed men but doubted if full value was given in projects o f public benefit in keeping with the money expended. The planning boards for FE R A have been delegated to correct this situation. Projects eligible under the 13-point requirement o f P E R A are water works, sewage systems, sanitation, streets, schools and playgrounds. Federal al locations must be spent on labor only while materials must be supplied by local agencies. Baker Chamber of Commerce ex tended an im itation to the associated chambers to meet in their city on June 11 and be their guests at the Baker Country Club golf links the fo l lowing day which is Sunday. Mr. Morgan and W. F. McLing at tended the Emmett meeting, R. W. Jones, president of the Ontario club, and Secretary Mr. Pinney were dele gates from Ontario. MOTHER OF MRS. P-T-A WILL HOLD HOLLY DIES FRIDAY SPRING COUNCIL Out Rattlesnakes; Camp Ge* Scare When the warm sun of an early spring brought the flowers out ahead of season, it also awakened the hiber nating rattlesnakes on the Owyhee des ert south of Nyssa where numerous men and their families are living in construction camps on the Owyhee pro ject. Hissing rattlers almost caused an uproar in the tunnel camp of the G en eral Construction company Tuesday. Mrs. Wm. Drain, w ife of a tunnel employe, had a narrow escape when she stepped onto the porch at the rear of her trailer house and found a big rattler curled up in the comer. To escape she had to pass him, she was afraid to call for fear he would attack. Badly frightened she remained in a corner until her husband arrived. Norville Leuck drove over a snake at the oamp while many others have been killed by workmen the last few days. A lizard caled on Ray Kendler, time keeper, in his small office.

What is the status of Nyssa's propos ed sewage system project? Asked many times, this question was answered yesterday in a report from Senator Steiwer who stated that only 13 Oregon P W A projects have been ap proved while many more are awaiting the appropriation of more money. Esti mated cost of the sewage system is $35,000. Considerable data was supplied the state P W A committee by Mayor Howard Larsen and the city council. Ontario is seeking $22,200 for water system; Harper $18,000 for a new school. The three Malheur county pro jects are on the waiting list. FISHIN’ IS GOOD ON BURNT RIVER EARLY BIRDS SAY So far as is known Roy Pounds and Ted Newell were among the first from this community a'flshing to go, so they told the first fish story. About dawn Sunday they left with their bait for the whispering pines and gurgling brook in the Burnt river mountains. They ar rived at 8 o'clock. They puled so many speckled trout from the creek they had ample for two starving fishermen at luncheon time. In ad dition they had numbers to bring home— in fact they caught their limit before noon. They were home in time to cook another trout feed for supper. Others on Burnt river Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Beam and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Flygg of Snively camp. Burnt river is extremely low for this time of year. So Pounds says fishermen will do the trout a favor by fishing early. C O M PLAN TO GROWERS HERE 241 FARMERS W I L L RECEIVE BENEFITS FRO M AAA CO RN-H O G C O NTR O L; A LLO TM E N TS AR E PUBLISHED TH IS WEEK. Beuclfts approximating $50.000 will be received by the 241 signers o l the corn- hog control plan in Malheur county, said County Agnet R. G. Larson who compiled the individual allotments for publication this week. A payment of $2 per head on allotment, which is 75 per cent of average cost production, will be made at once. A second pay ment of $1 per head will follow in Nov ember and the remaining $2 per head, less county administrative costs, will be paid in February of next year. Local farmers welcomed the sign-up because they have been reducing pro duction of late because of low prices. The bonus is bringing smiles all around.
