TELEPHONE COMPANY DESERVES A BOUQUET— biggest major advancement of the tele T HE phone industry in Nyssa was made this week when the Malheur Home Telephone Company moved into their new quarters. The old place of business had served for 25 years, but the com pany is growing and the new building is a result of this expansion. The company deserves credit for investing in Nyssa and helping foster the growth of the community. The second big growth can be expected early this summer when the company will install all new equipment, even to replacing the hand- crank phones in the system here. Subscribers will welcome this improvement made for their con venience. --------------------------------- + --------------------------------- BARNUM SAID THERE WAS ONE BORN A MINUTE— HE experience of several people in a central T Oregon town, will probably bring a sheepish grin to many local people, as it icaji be matched in many cities, including Nyssa. In this case it was an itinerate shoe salesman, who made a house-to-house-canvass, soliciting orders for shoes. This particular salesman had a most engaging way of making it appear that once the customer had poked his feet into one of his shoes, the ef fect would be like magic. Foot discomforts would vanish and the customer would find him self prancing about like a cat on a spring-filled mattress. You know what happened, the solicitor col lected a dollar down, the balance to be paid c.o.d. Of course the shoes failed to arrive, and when one impatient customer wrote to the fac tory they promptly replied they had never heard of the salesman, and that while they appreciated the interest in the brand of shoes, it was sorry the dollar could never be refunded nor the shoes de livered. The customers got exactly what they were asking for. When people buy shoes, or hardware, soap, light globes, clothes, gadgets or other items from itinerants—items wnich are stocked by their own town merchants—they are asking for trouble. A peddler can always put up a glamorous sales talk—hecause he doesn’t have to back it up. The home merchant does; he has to tell the truth to assure himself of future days and years of resales to the same customers. Sometimes the mail order articles may seem a little cheaper. Maybe, unlike the shoes, the stuff does arrive at some later date. But the one who makes the purchase rarely saves any money. If he thinks he saves directly, he is sure to loose in directly. People who make their living in a town owe their support to that town and its business. Oddly enough, even business people often forget that their own welfare is closely linked with that of every other business in town. Almost every day a business person can be seen sneaking home with a mail-order package tucked under an arm. It isn’t fair, and it isn’t sensible. Those who have chosen to live in a town should help others who live there. Think twice before sending away, and then patronize your friends, the home town mer chant. --------------------------------- * --------------------------------- MORE BUSINESS BUILDINGS BADLY NEEDED IN NYSSA— for a large business district was one of N EED the most important facts brought out by the Nyssa census taken Monday afternoon by the Civics class of the high school, co-operating with the Commercial Club. From a town of 821 when the federal census was taken in 1930 to a city of over 1300, was the surprising information dis closed by the census. Here we have a growth of approximately 500 people, with very few busi ness buildings going up during that time. The census proved that Nyssa absolutely must build, and very soon, if it is to keep pace with fast growing neighbors. The outlook for this summer is very encourag ing as several buildings are scheduled for con struction during this coming year. The healthy growth of Nyssa should encoràge others to invert in our town. The census taken Monday was not a hit-or- mis3 affair, but was probably as accurate a cen sus as it is possible to take. The students were divided into teams of four and the town divided into eight divisions. A team assigned to a certain division was responsible for getting every name in their section ... and they did. A further check up was taken Tuesday at places where the occu pants were not at home, and the present list can be counted on to be accurate. There might have been a few missed, and if so, the committee would appreciate having these people call at the Journal and give the desired information. Need for a “Better Housing” drive is also im portant. With a growth of 500 people, and the new houses built confined to a mere handful, is there any wonder we have a housing shortage? This situation must be corrected if we are to l each oui goal of being the leading city of the Snake River Valley. Squirts FROM THE LINOTYPE By John E. Public Over in Emmett the city fathers lave a damage suit to contend with with Anna C. Fredenhagen filed suit for damages in the amount of $5,000. She claims severe injuries as the result of a fall on the icy surface of a sidewalk. Andrew Little, holder of legal title to the adjacent property, was also made a party to the suit. The injury was suffered when water from the roof was permitted to flow onto the sidewalk, freezing there and causing a sheet of slippery ice. It would be easy for a similar ac tion to take place in Nyssa, should anyone suffer severe injury as a re sult of a fall on certain portions of the sidewalks around town. To the credit of majority of the property owners, they have removed the snow from their sidewalks, which only makes the offending parties negli gence stick out like a sore thumb. According to municipal law, it is up to the owners of abutting proper ty to remove the snow from the side walks and keep the sidewalks in re pair. ■#* Hh HH Several Nyssa people, interested in the further advancement of the city have made violent protest against certain “flood" articles appearing in Portland papers—and rightly so. As everyone knows, the chance of a flood in Nyssa is about as rare as the proverbial hens teeth. There was some concern two weeks ago but this soon quieted when qualified engin eers inspected the situation and said in effect that there was absolutely nothing to be feared It Is significant that all of these "Nyssa flood" stories are carried with an Ontario date line. We feel the Ontario people are not to blame, but it simply looks like amateur news paper reporting. It's a safe bet that whoever wrote those stories never talked with any one qualified to give an opinion, was not familiar with the situation, had no idea facts were important in a newspaper story . . . and also overlooked the im portance of the fact that Ontario is lower than Nyssa and if Nyssa was flooded. Ontario stood an excellent chance to get an even worse soak ing. from a carbuncle on his n:ck but L somewhat Improved.
