NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 14,1939 Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa's Shops ----------------------- -— • ■ ■ ■ ■ ♦ Came the sweet patter of rain early Monday mom with the boom and rattle of thunder to usher it in. And now the wind whistles “ Summer is gone; summer is gone” . But what a comfort to know that in the cold months ahead our hus bands and brothers and sons will be snug and warm by their own fireside instead of standing shiver ing and wet in some stenchy trench slimy with mud, or freezing and sick in an enemy prison camp in alien lands, all pawns of foreign diplomats in their eternal struggle for international supremacy. May that All-knowing which has pre served this nation so far give us sane minds and cool reason and stamp out this bitter antagonism and mass hysteria becoming so rampant on all sides. Tis but a step from this present state o f mind to the acceptance of war itself. Just a few burning brands of well- laid propaganda and ballyhoo and we will again be supplying Europe with gunfodder as well as muni tions, money, food supplies. And tho’ our hearts break in the agony of separation, still in unholy joy we send them. A world must again be saved! A crusade begun! the youth of our nation sacrificed on the altar therof. Let us always remember that a strong, stalwart son returning happily home with his babe in his arms for fam ily re union is sweeter and more blessed by far than a white cross rotting on some Flanders field. When the drums stop rolling and taxes start mounting there is little solace in a tarnished war medal and a folded flag. Let us not forget. Let us do what we can here, but let us and all that we have stay here. W e have plenty to do if we in crease our own aimy and navy suf ficient for adequate defense. And then mind our own business. And a day this week we didst chat with that charming lady, Mrs. Doc Marshall about this storage busi ness and didst learn many things new to us along this line. What with war so close and the threat o f food prices soaring beyond the reach of the flattened purses of most of us, tis cheering to know that there at the Polar Storage company foods of all kinds may be frozen on that new “freezing” plate then packed away in the stor age lockers and months later re moved and be restored to their orig inal freshness and fine flavor.

And soon harvest season wilt be vertisers and ye wilt not waste thy ended for this year. Already the time and thy gas going farther. old moon hast waned and too soon new wilt come frosty nights and frozen ground. And tis the time to build up the soil again against another summers crops. Time when the idle soil should be fed and en riched for the strength it has given into food for man and his beasts. And among the best of these soil enrichers ist plain good old-fash ioned barnyard manure. And now with the new tractors and the new est of manure spreaders such as ist sold by Nyssa Implement company at their store on Goode avenue just west of the irrigation offices, tis not the smelly messy Job as it was with old dobbin and a trusty fork. And now with the wee ones at school again and many for the first time have marched away pridefully to take their long awaited place in class rooms comes the question of hot lunches for the little bodies. But this year it need not be the worry of other years for at the Sloat sandwich shop conveniently located at the Y of the highway they are specializing in nourishing lunches at moderate prices. And fear not that it is not sanitary. For verily it be as shining clean as the white satin sugar fresh from the factory. And now the Nyssa Tailor shop and the Main"s Cleaners in order that they may serve their ever- widening clientelle the better, are each adding fireproof cleaning rooms to their already topnotch modem cleaning emporiums. And they did »ach tell us that their outlay would not raise their prices to their customers one iota. And this past week our relative didst purchase a bovine, a female o f that cud-chewing specie. Then didst lay in a supply of feed. Third cutting hay, rich and green in a stack long side the snug bam and then a sack of that cow chow that bossies do find so much to their particular taste that ist made by the Purina mills and trafficked here in this town by A1 Thompson and his son Herschel at their feed store at First and Goode. And in consequence thereof the lactic juices do flow with an added in tensity and the cream arising there from is as yellow as the light from a summers rising sun. Tis a fine milk increaser and cow conditioner. Aye verily. And didst know that a cracked or broken window pane canst so reduce the thermal units in thy rooms temperature that to keep them up twill make a big addition to the monthly coal bill. And now ist the time 'ere winter ist really here to check up on the cracks and crevices in the family homestead. Then tighten them gainst that zero day that we must need look for ward to ere the spring has come again.
