Nyssa baseball team will be held
next Sunday at the Nyssa school
grounds, at 1 p. m.. according to
Heinz Sonnakes, manager of the
team.
A short workout is planned for to
night at (i, for those who care to
get the “feel" of the ball prelimin
ary to Sunday's try-outs.
Donations for the support of the
team are still far short of that nec
essary. according to Sonnakes. and
a further effort will be made to get
the balance. Mrs. Sidney Bur-
bidge. a loyal fan and booster of the
team solicited the funds that have
been received so far, anti she will
probably be the one who will try to
get the remaining $100.
Guy Bush, local triple C man
second baseman, last year will be
missing from the line-up this year
due to transfer to Walla Walla.

Eight Malheur county farmers
have organized the Kingman Col
ony Combine Co-operative near
Nyssa, under the sponsorship of the
community and co-operative ser
vices section. Farm Security admin

Facilities of a combine harvester
with seed threshing equipment will
be made available for use to mem
ber farms and a limited number of
other farmers in the community
may be enable to participate. The
new co-operative is set up on a
joint ownership plan with members
signing partnership and participa
tion agreements on a fee basis.

DEISEL PI.ANT WOULD
SERVE 10« FAMILIES
The rural electrification adminis
tration has given preliminary con
sideration to an application for a
loan of $30,000 to build 25 miles of
rural lines to serve some 200 farms
in Malheur county and has out
lined the steps wihch must be com
pleted before an allotment of funds
can be made. R.E.A is correspond
ing with Lawrence Chestnut, Jor
dan Valley, Ore. Electricity would
be furnished from a deisel generat
ing plant.
The project sponsors should ob
tain and submit signed applications
for membership in the co-operative
as well as applications for electrical
service from it; also obtain signed
easements for the right-of-way for
the power lines, and perpare and
send to R.E.A. a detailed map of the
proposed project, showing the area
mast feasible to be served with the
allotment when and if it is made
available.
It will be necessary for the spon
sors to select an attorney and in
corporate under the laws of Oregon.
They have been requested to notify
the R.E.A. legal division of their
choice as attorney so that he can
be promptly approved and sent sug-
geted forms to be used for incorpor
ation and for easements.
Although no retail rate for sell
ing electricity can be established
until all cost factors have been de
termined, a rate has been tentative
ly suggested, under which a mini
mum bill of $3.00 per month would
pay for 40 kwh. This amount of
electricity will not only adequately
light the average size home, but it
will operate several appliances such
as a washing machine, iron, radio
and water pump.
Speed in development of this
project depends very largely on
prompt compliance by local leaders
and the community with the R.E.A.
requests for information and ac
tion. If the information is satis
factory and the local organization
adequate, R.E.A. expects to be able
to allot money to meet the entire
construction costs. No money will
be lent to pay for right-of-way.
