M A K IN G BETTER MEN T H R O U G H CCC T R A IN IN G — O NORING the fourth anniversary of the H Civilian Conservation Corps, Lieut. Elmer Cloninger of Nyssa camp BR 926, as well as the commanders o f all CCC camps in the United States, held open house last week, at which time the general public was privileged to thoroughly inspect the camp and learn first hand of the training the enrolled men were receiving and the methods used for their care. Visitors to the local camp last week found the camp in excellent condition. Sleeping quarters, kitchen and dining hall were scrupuously clean, recreational halls ample and an educational program which cannot help but produce better manhood. Proof that the sanitary conditions at the camp are of the best and that the food is well prepar ed and the personal habits o f the boys watched over is well demonstrated by the fact that ser ious illness at the camp is almost unknown. The boys are healthy, contented and doing a fine job. President Roosevelt has recommended to congress that the Civilian Conservation Corps be made a permanent institution. The Journal believes such a step would be wise. The CCC camps are and will continue to be worth every cent expended by the government in building hetter manhood and putting talents to construc tive use. ------------------ + ------------------ O P P O R T U N IT Y BECKONS IN M A LH E U R C O U N T Y — M A LH E U R county is probably the fastest growing county in the United States today. This may seem like a bold statement made sev eral times, and we believe it to he a fact. Vast changes are taking place under our very eyes; changes which transform our own partic ular section o f the county into a vastly different sort of community. The Owyhee dam, providing a stable water supply for thousands of acres near Nyssa, is attracting people from practically every state in the union. The Warmsprings and Beulah irrigation systems have brought a new meaning to agriculture near Vale. Ontario and Adrian both snare in the benefits of the Owyhee project, along with Nyssa, and it is doubtful if the most careful searcher could find an agri cultural county which is growing like Malheur today. Literally hundreds o f new farms have been established in the county the past two or three years; and bv the highest type o f settlers deter mined to make the desert bloom, and build real homes here in Oregon. In 1930 the population o f Malheur county, according to the federal census, was 11,269 people. This must be close to 18,000 today. Nys sa itself has jumped from 821 in 1930 to close to 1400 today. Ontario and Vale are both growing rapidly, but the real growth is in the country dis- ricts. Here settler after settler has come, bring ing his family, and has started the task of build ing a farm and a home. Those who first received water from the Owyhee dam two years ago have already established very creditable farms and farm hoir-'s. Settlers near Vale have enjoyed water from their system for a slightly longer per iod, and many fine farms have been established. But the great future is still before us. Ten years from today this entire Owyhee project, as well as the Vale project, will be one solid block o f farm land . . . fenced and cross fenced; neatly painted houses and buildings; lawns, trees and flowers well established; roads built, mail routes in operation .school bus and cream trucks mak ing their regular rounds. W e will see an extenison of the type o f agri culture which is becoming more popular the past few years. Principal crops will no longer be nay and grain, but each farm will also produce an acreage of sugar beets, lettuce, potatoes, onions, melons, peas, beans, and other types o f Jairyim igs w i“ find stock feeding a popular and profitable o ff season business.
