NYSSA NEEDS THEIR OWN DRIVERS’ LICENSE EXAMINER— HE matter of drivers taking examination for licenses is far from satisfactory from a Nyssa point of view ; as a group of over 25 found out last Thursday. According to announcement from the Secretary of State’s office, there was to be an examiner here on that date, and in re­ sponse to this invitation, some 25 people show­ ed up at the city hall to take the examination. Several were farmers from far out in the country, who left their work and many duties to come to Nyssa for the examination. After waiting around until their patience was about exhausted, a phone call was made to Ontario to see what might be holding the examiner up. They were told curtly that this wasn’t his day to come to Nyssa and “they might as well go home.” Since the state requires drivers to carry a lic­ ense; and an examination be given as to their ability to drive, the least the state can do is to provide an examiner available at all times. There have been times when famers have driven 20 miles to take the examination, only to be told it was a minute after five o’clock, and “come back come other day and come before five.” Surely there is someone in Nyssa who can give the required examination and make it more con­ venient for people wishing to take the examna- tion. Someone made a mistake when the examiner failed to show up last Thursday and since the schedule sent out from the Secretary of State’s office definitely stated that August 12th was the d ay; there is not much doubt as to who is re­ sponsible for the waste of a half days time for 25 to 30 people. T --------------------+ ------------------- FLASH' Word Just received from Earl Snell, Secretary of State, reads In part: "I appreciate very much your letter of Aug­ ust 14th, regarding the licensing of drivers a Nyssa. Just at this time a change is being made in the examiner serving at Ontario due to the resignation of Mr. Turner . . . I am sure th at we shall be able to make arrangements that will prove satisfactory to the residents of that community . . . I am very sorry that the people in your community were incon­ venienced by the fact that the examiner was unable to take care of those who were waiting on August 12 and wish to assure you that it is not the policy of this department to schedule examin­ ation stops and fail to provide the promised service on such dates . . ." 4-H CLUB PASS MILLION MARK— of the most hopeful signs for the future O NE of agriculture is the fact that the enrollment in 4-H clubs has passed the million mark and is still continuing to increase at a rapid rate. The young men and women who join the 4-H will be the producers of tomorrow'. In their club work, they are instucted in new methods and techniques that make it nossible for the fanner t)o raise larger crops and earn a greater re­ turn. They are given an opportunity to develop qualities of leadership that will prove invaluable to them in the future. They are learning the deeper side of farming and the forces which control supply and demand . . . and prices. In brief, they are wisely making a career of fann­ ing. The 4-H club movement deserves to grow’ and no thinking person can deny the usefulness of the work. EDITORIAL TABLOIDS BY OLIN MILLER It’s easy to identify an Englishman. His con­ versation sound as if it had been rehearsed. The college graduate who set out so bravely some weeks ago to lick the world is now holler­ ing for somebody to come help him turn it loose. “The strip-tease is the backbone of burles­ que,” declares a New York showman who seems to be taking a backward view of the matter. — + — It seems that no matter where shooting breaks out on this globe, there’s invariably a bunch of Americans present to do a lot of ciangerous in­ nocent bystanding. Even if it were true that the New Deal is evervthing its proponents claim, there still would remain this all-important question: Can we afford it? « 5 8 Ministers or ethers Interested In church publicity are Invited to use the columns of the Journal to carry Important messages and notices to their congregations.
