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?

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.

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

Remember the cold morning when the fire was
