NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1939 Kl U g PAGE TWO Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa's Shops In a walk along the river's edge this past week it suddenly didst dawn upon us that autumn would soon be here again, in spite oi the present heat and glaring sun. For already the wild rose berries hang like glistening clusters of Chinese red laquer on overburdened stems, yellowing plumes of golden rod mass against the deep green of the willows and stiff stalks of burdock now brown with seed stand sentlnal. Seared grasses crackle under foot and here and there a leaf is yellow ing Along a tip top fence wire a flock of wee brown birds rested as tho preparing for the long trek south ward. The old river flows quietly and peacefully on, its waters now almost clear. Different from its mad muddy dash of early spring. And in the eve’s quiet we didst think of mice and men and many things. But most of all how all around us here are people living, working and loving from whose live a thrilling book could be writ ten. Lives lived nobly and courage ously with no thought that they were so, nor that they themselves displayed the things from which heros are made. For not only is the one who meets death or sudden emergency fearlessly a hero but also he or she who meets each seeming drab day as it comes cheerfully and gives to the task at hand the best Professional Cards JESS R.

Some day perhaps a wise generation will erect a statute to their memory too. And there came to mind those who we feel honored to call our friends folks who have done Just this, and who never, we are sure have thought themselves fit char- ceters for a book. Already they had passed that first vim of youtli when their horses stopped at the edge of what then was Nyssa. Where the Idaho Ore gon bridge now is, plied a ferry, the dust was hub deep in the city streets. A summers sun beat down mercilessly sending shimmering heat waves out over a barren land and dust laden desert. There was no shade. The woman, who had lived and beeen bred in the traditions of the old south and had spent other years with this her mate inclass rooms where the old Pacific sends in its cooling breezes and trees and flow ers bloom the year round because they want to. now looked at him and wearily and desperately said, •But, John, its so dry. Why they couldn't have had rain here since the flood.” But the eyes of him at her side were seeing other things and other years. A vision? Maybe. “Yes, I know, was the answer, "But they will have water here some day and all these acres will be green fields and many more people will raise their families and it will be a land of plenty, indeed." The mother looked at the children beside her. A boy and a girl. Could she raise them in such a place. So far away from everywhere. So lit tle to offer when they were grown to man and womanhood. But they stayed. On a homestead just at the edge of the jumping off place. Stayed and planted trees and a lawn and flowers. Flowers that grew in the south and on the coast where moist, winds blow. Now it Is in the best of the acres of the "old land.” The boy and girl attended the lit tle school and this mother taught there. Taught other little girls and boys their ABCs. And some thing more. Gave them braveness of soul and desire for upright living, gave them ideals and a desire to succeed in the right way. Some times the husband was away. Teach ing too. that the new home might not have to be given up. But they carried on, heads high in hope and with a courage undimmed. In the early spring this mother would walk with her children to the crest of the hill top. The desert was a bloom with flowers. Baby faces and sego lillles and shooting stars and wild larkspur. Then did she love this her new home. But always she prayed with a faith undlmmed that these chil dren might not be deprived of those things necessary to make possible honored and honorable positions positions for them in a larger feld.
