BU Y PR O SPE R ITY B Y BU YIN G OREGON GOODS— start today, April 1, on L O a Y ten A L day Oregonians special effort to boost Oregon products and are urging everyone to help the cause along by using Oregon produced goods during this period. Once the consumers use Ore gon goods, ifris believed their superior merit will encourage the continued use o f Oregon products. The development o f industry in every city of the Columbia area is o f vital interest to everyone in the state, Nyssa included. Larger payrolls for every section o f this territory will rebound to the general benefit, and everyone should keep this in mind while shopping, and whenever pos sible, demand Oregon-made goods. Some o f the finest products and goods made are produced right here in Oregon. Prices are on a competitive basis, and in many cases Oregon-produced goods can be sold at a bit less than merchandise shipped from distant states or foreign countries. I f we are to enjoy posperity to the fullest extent we must be willing to help each other. W e should make it a habit to buy the pro ducts of Oregon farms, manufacturers and pro cessors. Great good should come from this cam paign sponsored by the Columbia Empire Indus tries, and you can do your part by demanding Oregon-made goods every day in the year. ------------------ + ------------------ A FIRE A M INU TE IN TH E U N ITED STA TE S — D ON’T leave small children alone at home! Tragedy after tra^edv has been recorded where an untended child lias been either killed or disfigured for life by fire. A recent case is cit ed by the Industial Commission o f Wisconsin. A bov o f four and his brother of six months were left in the house when the parents went visiting. The boy pushed the baby buggy containing his brother too close to the heating stove. A blanket caught fire, and the infant was fatally burned. Other accounts tell o f fires started by children playing with matches. In still other incidents a stove door is opened or lids lifted o ff by the child and fires are started. Fatal results have often fo l lowed the pouring o f kerosene on a fire by a child. All small children love to play with fire, no precaution should be overlooked in restrain ing them. Parents should immediately take two steps. First, never leave your children alone at home. Second, do the simple and inexpensive things necessary to the elimination of common fire haz ards. All fireplaces should be screened. Clothes should be hung at a safe distance from pipes and stoves. All heating equipment and adjuncts should be periodically inspected and overhauled. Continuous care should be taken in handling and storing inflammable liquids. Waste o f all kinds, such as papers and rags, should be dis posed o f or stored in metal containers. The wir ing o f electric appliances should be checked oc casionally— a frayed or twisted cord can cause short circuits followed by fire. Every minute a fire breaks out in America. Two-thirds o f all those fires occur in homes.. W ill four home be on that list this year— and will you and your family be subjected to a menace that may take life and destroy property? G A TE C IT Y JOURNAL. THURSDAY, A PRIL 1, 1937_ of repair, that you to looked to be in a sad state the chimney shot sparks— and decided have those matters attended to another day? Some times the other day never comes? Remember when you awakened and found the room full o f smoke from smoldering cigar butt that had fallen onto the bed or the carpet? The insurance records are full o f cases where the smoker in question never did wake up again in this world. The list o f careless actions that may cause fire could be prolonged indefinitely. You may take a chance a thousand times and get away with it— and on the thousand and first time it may get away with you. The man who lights his cigarette with a twenty dollar bill is not as waste ful or reckless as the man who takes a chance on fire. -------------------------- + -------------------------- C O N S O LID A TIO N M IG H T BE TH E A N S W E R — V E R Y school district in this vicinity is fac- J ed with a problem o f increased enrollment which is already taxing present facilities to cap acity and it is only a matter o f time when larger buildings will be needed in practically every dis trict. Along with additional buildings comes the necessity for more teachers, transportation fac ilities and other costs to be borne by taxation. This increase in enrollment is due principally to the heavy influx o f new settlers on the lands o f the Owyhee project and the prospects are that each district can expect a substantial increase in enrollment each year for the next several years. Right now, when this thing is just getting un der way, wouldn’t this be a good time to con sider consolidation? The idea has been advanc ed, that if the various school districts around Nyssa were consolidated, the Nyssa school could be enlarged to care for students from the fifth grade upwards, while the present school facili ties in each of the districts could be used to care for pupils up to and including the fourth grade. This would eliminate the necessity o f building three new buildings in the three districts of A r cadia, Oregon Trail and Owyhee. A uniform transportation system could be worked out by a board of directors chosen from each o f the dif ferent districts. While not exactly advocating this consoli dation until we study it more, the Journal would like to hear from representative taxpayers in these districts and get their reaction to such a plan. If the majority are in favor, it should be adopted in time to put it in practice next fall. It Happened In Nyssa Years Ago Interesting bits of history gleaned from the files of years ago. From The Gale City Journal April 1, 1927 Jack Lynch started excavation work on the lot next to his residence Tuesday and will erect a new bunga low. Harold Hoxie Is on crutches as a result of a sprained ankle caused from a base slide during ball prac tice. The Nyssa Packing Co., are losers of a dressed hog which was taken from the slaughter house last F ri day evening. .T h e March Issue of the Oregon Business, published by the Chamber of Commerce of Portland, give an in teresting column on Nyssa and vi cinity, contributed by A. R. Millar, secretary of the Nyssa Commercial Club. Wrndell Pogue of Kentucky has accepted a position in the Wilson Bros, store. Mr. Pogue is a nephew of Barney and Ernest Wilson. Miss Juanita Bigelow, daughter of M r and Mrs. S. D. Bigelow of Owyhee received honorable men tion in the University of Oregon paper as being one out o f 91 stud ents to win honors as having receiv ed no grades less than two. Dwight Smith and son John Jay and Frank Fry celebrated their joint birthday anniversary Sunday with a big dinner at the Fry home. John Moore of Ontario, employee of the Standard O il Co., has rent ed the Jim Fogle house and will move his family here in the near future. Mrs W ill Beam and daughter Rita left Thursday for their new home at Crane where they will join Mr. Beam, who has accepted a position as foreman of a large ranch in that vicinity. From The Gate City Journal April 2, 1928 Stanley Fenn is digging a well for J Boy dell, which will be used for irrigation purposes, Ernest Wilson is the owner of a new car, M r and Mrs. H. C. Oarman of Omaha have purchased the Dick Shourman place just opposite the pipe line farm. Mr. and Mrs. H. P Slippy o f the Owyhee are the parents of a son Unison of th o u g h t! Mighty projects are created by visioo! The foundations for navigation and power dams — the reclamation of arid areas— the construction of industry— find their first impulse in the mind of man; their conception In a unity of thought by many. Remember when a fuse blew last winter and you couldn’t find another— and so established the circuit by putting a penny behind the old fuse? Thousands o f fires, many o f which have desroyed lives, have been caused by this highly dangerous practice. Remember when a cord for your reading lamp wore through and you repaired it yourself, with the aid of a kitchen knife, some automobile tape and considerable profanity? The list o f fires resulting from amateur electical repairs would fill a big book. Remember the cold morning when the fire was balky and, in a fit of anger, you turned to kero sene to get it going? That practice has burned down thousands o f homes— and provided many a «nan with a n abrupt passage to the hereafter. Remember when you noticed that your fur nace doors are no longer tight, that the flues Theresa R. Renden et vlr to Otto G Wolfe, N 4 S E 1« and N E 4 S W 4 Sec 36-20-45. 12. 18, 36 *1,119. C. W.
