AS A SELFISH MOTIVE—
URING the past weeks, we of Nyssa have
D heard
rumors that some of our neighboring
cities have been visited with epidemics of small­
pox and diptheria.
All of which may or mav not be true—we will
hope that it is not—but there is one thing that
these stories do bring home to us, and that is,
that Nyssa DOES NOT HAVE A HEALTH OF­
FICER!
Just a few days ago we were talking to a phy­
sician of this city on the question of quarantine
of smallpox and he said that he had seen not less
than three cases of smallpox on Main Street.
Asked why they were not quarantined, he ans­
wered that there was no Health Authority to see
that such cases were quarantined!
It is not up to the private physician to tell
those with contagious or infectious diseases to
stay away from public places or gatherings.
Our police authorities have enough on their
hands with their police work without expecting
them to take care of the duties of the health of­
ficer.
Other conditions require the attention of a
health officer. One of the least of which is the
proper disposal of garbage. This one source of
disease spreading, alone, is a problem that a
health officer would straighten out and without
a doubt stop the possibility of a major epidemic
in this community. .
We as a community, with the problem of un­
precedented growth facing us, have a lot of
things to work out, but none is so urgent as the
health conditions of the city in which we have
chosen to live.

THE NYSSA CORN SHOW—
RIDAY and Saturday of this week, The
Nyssa Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring
a Malheur Corn Show. The motivating factor
which is the state wide corn show to be held in
Portland, November 29th to December 4th. This
show is sponored by the First National Bank of
Portland.
Our county agent, Mr. R. G. Larson, who inci­
dentally is celebrating his tenth year as Malheur
county agent, is keenly interested in getting as
many exhibits, both at the Nyssa show and the
Portland state wide show, as is possible.
We in this county are perhaps so close to the
forest that we cannot see the trees—in this mat­
ter of raising corn. Every thing is in our favor in
the raising of this crop, it is a good money mak­
ing crop and one that does not require the season
long attention that many other crops do.
Every State Fair has it’s corn exhibits and
those from Malheur county always draws the
most favorable comments. Both as to size and
to quality.
With this local show, farmers of the county
have an excellent opportunity to display their
husbandry and announce to the worlu that Mal­
heur county does raise the best com in the state.
The Nyssa Chamber of Commerce is to be
complimented on their interest in the farmers
of the county, bv sponsoring this show. It is
through their efforts that the cash prizes for the
exhibits will be awarded.
It is now up to the farmers to show their in­
terest in this worthwhile undertaking, by bring­
ing in their displays to the local brancn of the
First National Bank of Portland, so that the ex­
hibits may be judged in time to be shipped on
to Portland for the state wide show.
