EGARDLESS o f how fondly we look back
toward the “ horse and buggy days,” from
a sentimental point o f view ; the man or the
community traveling such a gait will sooner or
later find they have been left far behind in the
daily procession o f life. To progress, you must
change and constantly select better methods to
ward the end that efficiency will be served.
One o f the things back in the “ horse and
buggy” days is the Nyssa city charter adopted
in 1903. A splendid document at the time, it
has become mutilated by custom, progress and
varied conditions until the city has a hard time
following the word of law as laid down by the
charter. The only thing needed is reasonable re
vision and Tuesday the voters will have an op
portunity to put the OK stamp o f approval on
needed changes . . . or if the proposed improye-
ments do not suit the voter, he or she naturally
has the privilege o f voting their convictions.
Any election, to be truly succesful, must re
flect the opinion o f the majority, and the only
way such an opinion can be recorded is by the
ballot. Free speech, free press and the voting
franchise are things worth fighting fo r; Every
citizen owes a duty as a loyal citizen of Nyssa to
go to the polls Tuesday and vote as their con
science dictates.

MORE JOBS FOR GRADS

(Caldwell News-Tribune)
F
OR the first time in a number of years, col
lege graduates this spring will be able to find
jobs without too great difficulty. There are, ac
cording to recent surveys, jobs to find.
So marked has been the improvement that
the Bureau o f Industrial Service in New York
finds that employment prospects for college
graduates this year are only slightly less favor
able than in 1929 and far better than 1936.
Characteristic, too, o f the prevalent practice
before the depression, major business concerns
are recruiting many o f the grads. General Elect
ric, Du Pont, Proctor and Gamble, Westing-
house and various subsidiaries o f the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company are once
more taking the-cream o f young America from
Commencement rostrums.
It is a good omen. One of the peculiarly unfor-
cap that it placed in the path o f American young
tunate effects of the depression was the handi-
men and w omen. Anxious to get started on their
life ’s work, there was no place to start. The e f
fect was many

iy fold.
l
employed rolls, probably contributed materially
to the participation o f youths in criminal ven
tures, sent thousands o f both boys and girls over
the country, living a nomadic existence and
made marriage and the establishment o f homes
impossible.
It is a brighter future that faces young men
and women today. For those who sincerely
look for something, there is a place.

TNDAY, M A Y 9 deserves to be a national
S holiday,
for it is Mothers Day and set aside
to honor the Mothers who have made this great
nation a world power. W e celebrate July 4th as
the birthday of the nation, but Mothers Day
goes deeper.
No man or woman worthy o f the name needs
to be told the significance o f the day, but the
important thing is to not let the hurry and bustle
o f life cause you to overlook this most important
day.

The white collar worker» these day’s is prob
ably in arears with his laundry bill.
Probably no one would complain, though,
if hitchhikers wrere to fold up their thumbs and
engage in a sit-down strike.
That their work- week be reduced from 90 to
84 hours is now being demanded by the Jap
anese— the lazybones.
