TIM E FOR F A R M E R ’S CO-OP?— HILE grain farming is still the rule, there is W without a doubt, the sensible trend toward toward row crops in this valley. Beets o f course will take their rightful place at the top of the list of such row crops.There will still be other crops, potatoes, onions, lettuce and undoubtedly more will be added. May it not be a good plan to start on the road, suggested by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, the other day in Louisville, Kentucky, when he pleaded for ‘solidarity among farmers’ ? It will probably be said the farm marketing co-opera­ tives have been tried before without success. However, one need only to look to the Califor­ nia Citrus Growers Association, or the Dairy­ men’s League Co-operation Association, Inc., to see that a well organized and managed group of fanners can conduct their farming along true business channels. The co-operative idea may not appeal to the large grower, because in most cases he can ship his produce out to market in his own cars. Not so with the man with but a few acres, say o f onions. He must sell his cron locally and take whatever is offered him. If tne company that buys the small growers crop, has it’s own crop, it would only be natural to suppose that the company would put it’s own crop on the market at the most advantageous time, leaving the small grow­ er out of the market until the company had dis­ posed of it’s own crop. Perhaps the farmers in this community are waiting for some one to start such a co-opera­ tive, if so, and some one is willing to go thru the trials o f starting it, may feel free to use the columns o f this paper, wnich are always open to the welfare o f the farmers and business people of Nyssa. ------------------ + ------------------ DO W E W A N T TO M A K E A C IT Y ? — IT H the advent of the building of the sugar factory in Nyssa, may it not be wise for us to look to the future of our residential districts? This matter o f zoning has been brought up before, and did not reach it’s goal. Principally because it wras either too technical or was not thoroughly understood by those who looked over the plan. You cannot expect anyone to build a thoroughly modern house in the midst o f a neighborhood of shacks. Neither should wre restrict building to a point where the average person cannot, from a financial standpoint, af­ ford to build. ■% <1 W W e have before us the problem o f building this city to at least twice the size it now is. To encourage people o f subsantial worth to locate their homes in Nyssa, we must wrork out some plan that will entice them to build, and build modem homes. », W e can accomplish this through the intelli­ gent use o f our planning board. It is their duty to recommend to the Council, plans that will look forward to the future o f the city. No one on this board, we are sure, wrould want a plan o f zoning that would stop the less financially able, from building a house that would be commen­ surate with their pocketbook. But there should be taken into consideration, at least, the health o f others, to say little o f their esthetic sense. For this reason may we not hope to see some zoning ordinance that would restrict building of houses to at least modern sanitary conditions. Our City still has nlenty o f room left for the zoning o f residential buildings. But when, and if we do ^et such an ordinance, why not enforce it, impartially? ------------------ + ------------------ Editorials are sprouting all over the country, taking a ‘raj)’ at Associate Justice Black for ad­ mitting having once been a member o f the Ku Klux Klan. While most everyone is opposed to what the Klan is supposed to represent, may it not be that the Justice, in his younger days may have been one o f those ‘joiners’. As many a member o f the Townsend CI u I ks can testify, any­ one looking for a political career, will join any organization that will grab o ff a few more votes. “ Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.” ------ ------------- ♦ It Happened In Nyssa Years Ago T h e Gate City Journal W IN IF R E D ------ 11:15 a. m.

(John 15, 12) Believe It or not, this great coun­ try of ours Is entering into a new period of history. The old system of individualism, that Is, everybody for himself and the devil get the hind­ most, has served its purpose during the pioneering stage of our nation. The welfare of the masses of the people calls for a modification of our old metheds and for a more fair distribution of resources and a more equitable income for the families. Every man who performs an honest day’s work has a right to such in­ come as will provide for his wife and children In a respectable and decent manner. In the present turning tide of a f­ fairs, all people of thought want to avoid extremes of Individualism as well as those of collectivism or communism. All forms of dictator­ ship are abhorrent to the principles of a free nation. Three simple thought will ever keep us right in our economic, social and all other affairs and they are: There is Ood. There Is property. There Is charity and common sense. Without Ood, there is no secure sense cf responsibility and no order. Without property, real and personal, (including one’s right to occupation and work) there is ne freedom. Without charity for the under-priv- eleged and the suffering, there is no common sense or love for neighbor. “This Is My commandment,” says the Savior of the world, "that you love one another.’ T h is command­ ment implies a religion of love. It contains all other commandment* within itself. It comes from heaven. It Is common sense. It s the strong­ est factor fer peace and happiness in our homes and in our commun­ ities. And, when everything is said and done, there is no solution of our national, state cr local affairs, un­ less the underlying motive and principle Is "love one another,” charity and common sense. "This is My commandment, that you love one another.” P R E S ID E N T R O O S E V E L T V IS IT S N Y S S A .
