NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURS.. SEPT.. 16,1837 liquor. It may seem a harsh and unworkable rule but it is our suggestion that the driver of an auto mobile should be given an ACTUAL physical examination. Not only a perfunctory eye exam ination but follow the line that is required of Airplane Pilots. The physical well being of a person changes, a yearly examination, upon re newal of the drivers license would not, in the interest of cutting the auto mortality rate, be asking too much. And just to forestall the in evitable ‘kickback’ on this suggestion we are NOT subsidized by the A.M.A. Don’t tinker with the automobile, you may need that extra surge of power to get out of a tight ‘hole,’ get healthy and mentally normal people behind the wheel and you will cut the death rate!

STOCKHOLDERS— N the v e r y efficient business system throughout our nation it has been found more advantageous for those who wish to invest money in a corporation to elect a board of dir ectors to represent these stockholders and to see that the wishes of the majority of those who have money invested are carried out by the dir ectors so elected. Our city government can be likened to that of the corporation mentioned above. Each taxpay er, each resident of the City of Nyssa is, to a more or less degree, a stockholder in this thriv ing community. Our Directors (the Council) are men who serve without any pay. It is perhaps, and we are sure is, most discouraging to attend these meetings (all held at night after a hard days work) and find but three or four citizens present. These men who are trying to lead the City of Nyssa forward to a place in the sunlight of pros perity that it properly deserves, They cannot hope to do the job without some mistakes. Mis- takes perhaps that by your presence could be avoided. Each citizens is vitally affected, in some degree, each time our council meets. Doesn’t it sound reasonable that if for no other reason you should make an effort to find out what is taking place to help the City of Nyssa progress, by at tending the council m eetings. Your Council, we are sure, would welcome you. I -------------------- + -------------------- ‘'Will someone please come to our rescue and tell us how to stretch an inflated dollar,” Olin Miller, in the Weston Leader. Sure, Olin. Just like you cook a rabbit. First catch your rabbit. ------------------- + -------------------- BOOSTERS— VERY live community has its share of boost ers, and just to prove it we went out to get enough money to increase the music portfolio of our city band. The response was overwhelm ing. We didn’t have time to get in touch with all of the businessmen of the city but with 100% support so far we know that the balance will be in with their share. So if there are any names missing its only the fault of thé old phrase ‘lack of time.’ And speaking of boosters, every mer chant in Nyssa is going out after more business by GIVING MORE FOR YOUR DOLLAR. ------------------- * -------------------- E Ministers or others Interested in church publicity are invited to use the columns of the Journal to carry important messages and notices to their congregations.

Two M in u te OUR CONSTITUTION A HERITAGE— Serm ons OMORRW marks the one hundred and T fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States. No govern ment on the face of the globe can boast of the record of this Government. With the exception of the Civil War there has never been an armed revolution to the constituted authority. All of the ‘old world’ Governments have been thru changes— changes that have not always been ‘for tne betterment of the lower classes.’ Yet we find among us those who would tear down this marvelous structure of self government. For what purpose—that we may be regimented into servility to some despot? We can do our part to keep these radicals with their droolings of subverting propaganda by inculcating into the coming generation the necessity of taking active. Real Live Action in the Govenment under which thev enjoy the only REAL GOVERNMENTAL FREEDOM in the World. --------- *--------- GOVERNORS NOT THE ANSWER— GITATION on the part of Earl Snell, Secretary of State, to place governors on automobiles that will keep the speed down to fifty miles per hour seems to be out of line with the experience of highway officials in Calif ornia. The State of California has a speed limit of forty-five miles per hour, yet the Safety Coun cils are tearing their hair out trying to keep down the ever mounting toll rate. The driver of an automobile is not 100 per cent to blame for accidents. The pedestrian must bear his share of the blame, and strangely enough a good per centage of pedestrian’s hit have been found to be under tne influence of A By Rev Floyd E. White WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF NYSSA GO TO CHURCH i By V. W Martin. Pastor of Church of the Nazarene the There are a number of reasons why we as a community should boost the church of our choosing. I believe that there are two reasons that are especially out standing. We might take these into consideration First, there is character building, or the duty we owe our children. The scripture declares, bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from It. We are all agreed upon the j fact that early training is the mold ing pot of the entire life. The char acter of a man is designed when he is a boy A criminal usually becomes a criminal when he is a small boy Habits good or otherwise, are the outcome of the early life We do not find people of notorious character in the church as a rule. Why? B e cause the church, should and does condemn them. Those who go to church, are those who are looking for a better way of living. They want something that will fill the desire of their heart. A very small per rent of the inmates of the peni tentiary were constant attendants of the Sunday School or church. Very few of the Inhabitants of the dens and dives of the United States were ever in the local churchs. Very few boys and girls in the house of correction were ever In God’s House on the Sabbath day. A Chisago Juvenile court Judge recently dis covered on checking over his cases, that poxerty, alums, and education were not the principal causes for moral delinquency, but we quote his words which are worth repeating: ASSEMBLY OF GOD Ernest C.

PROMOTION RALLY D A Y— September 26. “I have as frequently as not, found the particular youth to be of good family, to come of substantial, w e|l thought of parents, to be in at tendance at an excellent school. I have usually found the elements which, blend, make a good boy or girl—all except the most important one. I have asked, ‘what spiritual education did he have?’ And the answer almost Invariably has been N one” These words were from a man who was In a position to know The second thing to consider is the Influence of the church. The United States government was, first based upon the Bible. There has never been a nation in all the world that had the blessing of God upon them as our own native country Some have asked, why? It is be cause of the Influence of the church upon the nation. It is because of their devotion and trust in a mighty God The people of the community have faith in the churches, and this as it should be. Whe.i ever the church loses, its influence over the people there Is a great loss to that community. We as the leaders must see that the people do not lose faith in us But the parents in Nys sa must help as well. If we all wosfc together in this cause, we will be able to advance a cause that will make real men and women out of the children who live In and about this little city. THE WAY OF SOME PEOPLE Somebody is always taking the joy out of life. The latest offender to come to our notice is Olin Miller, wisecrack editor of the Weston Leader Says Olin in a recent edi tion of our esteemed contemporary "If eating an apple caused Eve to realise that she was practically un draped .It's Just about time for wo mankind to eat another apple ~ For shame Otlnl Why not let 'em give us men a treat? * - It Happened In Nyssa Years Ago Interesting bits of history gleaned from the files of years ago.

Oaynor Parks Looney and id » (By Harry Weidemann) (Photo by H. W.) The Rooks tools are natives of Caloway, Nebraska, a dry farming and cattle country. After the dry summer of 1934 Mr. Rookstool started a search for a new home, and in the fall of 1935 he came to Nyssa and in October purchased 160 acres located seven miles south of Nyssa and one mile west on the read to the CCC camp. When asked why he came to Ore gon he said that the main reason was that the dry summers were so bad the last years that they couldn’t even raise Russian Thistles. In the winter of '34 and '35 they wintered their cattle on thistles, soap weed, cotton cake shipped in from the couth and a little alfalfa that was brought from Colorado at from $20 to $25 per ton. They woud have shipped it in from Oregon but Neb raska would not allow it, because of the weevil. In the summer of ’35 it was so dry that even the weeds would not grow and with the un certain water supply of the future there seemed to be more prosperous and certain communities to live in. They have found this a pleasant community in which to live and are raising a very fine crop of sugar beets, wheat, oats and red clover. Two older boys of the family are assisting with the work and they all like their new home fine. Deliala Prances. 9, 11, 37. Richard Allen Davis and Helen Margery Johnson. 9, 11, 37.
