Phone 1 0 8 (Continued from Page 1) “ The approach of the holiday season once again brings direct ap peal of Christmas Seals to the citi zens of Nyssa. To protect homes from the tra gedy caused by the dread ravages of tuberculosis is the never-ending ob jective of the Christmas Seal cam paign. In the final analysis, our is a community of homes and what could be more vital than the un ceasing vigilance and protection of these homes. As the Mayor of Nyssa. it gives me great pleasure and a sense of fulfilling official duty to endoree whole-heartedly the purchase of Christmas Seals as a method of raising funds for the fight against tuberculosis. As Mayor, and as a private citizen. I hope that all our citizens will buy as many seals as possible and that every greeting card and gift package going forth from our community will carry this decoration, attesting that Nyssa Is doing its part in a great drive.’’ R. A THOMPSON, Mayor. way Pacific northwest products have been treated by Secretary of Bute Hull have been filed by Senators Bone and Schwellenbach at Wash ington. Senators McNary and Hol man of Oregon. Senators Johnson ! and Downey of California. First skirmish will come when congress meets in regular session in January to be followed by the congressional elections later. Cultivated Acreage Only 15.8 per cent of all the land in Washington state is available for cultivation, and of the total state acreage only 8.7 per cent is actual ly under plow. Number of acres used for crops is 3,733,099 out of 42.775.040. In Oregon only 8 per cent is available for cultivation and only 5.1 per cent is being used. Ore gon's cultivated acreage is 3.112,168 out of a total of 61,188,480, accord ing to the bureau of census. Nevada ranks lowest of all, with but 0.4 per j cent of its entire area cultivated; Arizona next with 0.7; Wyoming, 2.8. Nor is California so "hot". Of that advertised garden spot only ; 11.7 per cent is available for culti- | vation and but 7.1 per cent of the I state's acreage is used for crops. These statistics will form part of an argument made next spring in congress in justification for insist ing the federal government pay taxes on its holdings in the 11 west ern states. Figures are from the census bureau. • r YOUR CREDIT STANDING IS JUST W HAT YOU MAKE IT Christmas Seal Drive Opens The annual Christmas Seal sale Friday. Under the direction j of Mrs D. H. McAuley of Ontario, ! committees in all parts of the coun ty have been organized. From Irorf- i side to McDermitt, letters will go I into the mails Friday morning en closing seals and asking that as ! many as possible of the seals be purchased. There will be no school sale of seals this year. Seventy-five per cent of funds raised remain in the county to finance the work of the Malheur County Health asso ciation. The balance goes to the Oregon Tuberculosis association for its state-wide program. “Just what is the money used for in this county” is a query often di rected to local chairmen. To answer this question, Arthur Atherton, treasurer of the Malheur County Public Health association, has com piled a financial report showing where the funds have been used dur-ing the past year. Total expenditures for the year have been $262130. Of this amount, 869.64 has been used for X-ray ex aminations of suspected tubercular cases, mostly children, for tonsil- ectomies for children unable to pay for them, and for other minor op erations. Vaccine and toxoids used in the clinics cost $51.08. Office ex penses. printing and postage took $291.72. Eye glasses and eye exam inations took $83.50. Drug purchases for those unable to purchase drugs otherwise cost $51.56. Dental treat ments accounted for $13. To pay its share of the cost of maintain ing a county health nurse, the as sociation gave to the county $450.00. Seal sale expenses were $87.43. For the expenses of the Oregon Tuber culosis association $599 was con tributed. Total receipts from last year’s seal sale from the clinics were $199.51. The association had on hand from the year before $727.69 but most of this was spent during the past year. Its financial statement shows a bal- j opens PROGRAM N YSSA Washington News an re at the present time of $10540. No one connected with the asso ciation receives a salary or expense money except a part time steno grapher who is employed for sev eral months during the year when the work of the association is the heaviest at $25 a month.
