With our permanent step-out- wither didst on Friday evening at tend the banquet of the Chamber of Commerce at which Marshall Dana of Portland didst tell of many things pertaining to this land and of the men who have given so much that their dreams of the abundance from irrigated lands might come into reality. He it was who one time in the interest of this project made a trip to Washington to show to the committee in charge even to the president himself, the folly of diverting the reclamation monies to new fields when the job was but half finished. And succeed ed. This man knows his Northwest and his heart is with it. He is a man of great vision, and of pene trating sagacity and great wisdom. Among the lesser things he spoke of someday seeing a public park in Nyssa by the waters edge. Where birds and waterfowl and little chil dren and men and women might find refuge from summer’s heat in I he shade of many trees. Where at eventide they might watch the bril liance of the setting sun cast its glory on still moving waters. And there find rest and peace to their soul. That also is one of our own pet dreams. Filled with emotion, he called the alarm of freedom fast being lost to our citizenry if we too long neglect our duties as citizens and sit idly by without voting while bureaucrats and autocrats slowly sap the privi lege from us and we wake too late to find ourselves the automats of a regimented peoples. Without free dom of anything. Now this European bomb throw ing contest has seemed to us a cock eyed and screwball mess from the start. Every kettle calling the pot black and threatening to move heaven and earth to annihilate each other, then digging in in the latest and most modern dwellings in the Maginot and Siegfried lines and waiting for the other guy to start the fireworks. Strange it is indeed with all of them apparently hating each other and this country most of all. Eng land calling us cowards and heath ens and selfish because we have not yet shown the proper attitude by sending our youth over to pull her political and trade chestnuts out of the central European fire yet, and Germany yowling at or duplicity and double-crossing tendencies. And Russia hating us principally because she has not yet been able to smear our red.white and blue flag into one great bloody blot of red. And we donate to the Finnish relief to help keep Finns and the rest of the world safe from Sovietism. Then we read where on January 7 there came to the shores of these United States and docked at the harbor of San Francisco where perches high on a rock the United States mint a Russian freighter, Kim, bearing much gold, "approxi mately $5,600,000 worth and nothing else. That is it cost this government $5,600.00 but it is reported that it when they compound a drug for thee. Only the purest and freshest of drug; go into it and none touch it exc.pt a licensed and qualified druggist and charge no more for their service so there 1st no reason to take a chance with life or health by anything less than perfect. And bid Smith the boss man there didst tell us that he wilt have a fine stock of Easter candies when the sprucing up day arrives. But what is a baby chick to do no matter how fine the feed without a warm place to snuggle under, ev en as it does 'neath its mothers breast? So the Gamble store hast cared for all this and have on hand a thermostat controlled brooder that wilt keep the tiny chirpers as happy and healthy as though they were being covered by the downy warmth that nature provided. And cheap ist the cost when one considers what is provided. With spring fever in the close o ff ing and already sitting upon some of our door steps a bit of a spring tonic wouldst not be amiss and none is better than copious quaff- ings of tomato juice. It puts the pep back into our depleted red cor puscles and urges them on to put forth the effort required in spring cleaning, plowing and all manner of doings and at the Wilson grocery mart they do have it there in great or small tins at prices so reason able that the whole family can en joy their fill every day. Then watch the pink creep back in little cheeks made pale by winter colds and flu. And Ernie and Les at the bakery say eat more bread for fine health and at the Nyssa Packing store ’tis Butch’s command to eat more meat if all are to beat the winter ills to the punch. And verily we do believe that they are both right for they are the foundation on which every meal shouldst be built. And even re ducing experts now claim that both should be found in every diet to maintain the body balance and that the ills accrued from dieting may not be worse than a bit of over weight. And be not among those who feel that a finer show may be found in another town than that shown here every day in Nyssa. Twill never be for only the best of entertainment is provided at this Nyssa show house. Shop in Nyssa with Journal ad vertisers and ye wilt not waste thy time and thy gas going farther. cost about $11 an ounce for Russia to produce It. Some differed ’twtxt $35 and $11. What a tidy profit for the Soviets to tuck ’neath their hol sters again and buy with their cred it the things it takes to make dead men of Finnish soldiers and wastes of their countryside and long estab lished cities. While here at home, our own peo ple in spite of the untold wealth in gold stored, cannot even purchase the things necessary for decent liv ing nor build a home nor find a job. Sounds something like millions for carnage but not one cent for peaceful living. Didst ever stop to think what wouldst happen to us in this coun try if all the other nations of the earth suddenly went off the gold standard as a monetary basis? We would surely be left holding the well-known sack. The weather man was a meanie to sandwich in a cousin to a bliz zard ’twixt two springish days. But if it is water the country needs it should now have its fill for a spell. What with puddles and pools filling every low spot on the earth’s sur face in these parts. And galoshes are certainly the dress of the day for mud lying in wait for the un wary all the way from ankle to hip deep it is a foolish one indeed who ventures forth without tootsies snugly covered. And at the Atkeson apparel shop at Main and Third they do have on hand a large stock of neat foot coverings in rubber and rubber fabrics. And now that spring ist in the offing that threat on thy part to remodel and enlarge the old home stead ere another winter rolls around may be a bit more than an idle threat if thou wilt see John Ostrom at his Nyssa lumber yard and let him explain to thee and thy John just how easily one may re model or enlarge the worn out or out-grown family abode through the A. B. C. loan plan of which he ist ever preaching long and loud. Veri ly ’tis a pretty set up. And hast seen the brood of wee cockerels that Hershel Thompson has bedded down in those snazzy brooders at the Thompson feed and fuel shop? They are a husky lot of little chirpers and ever at the troughs where they are sure to find day and night a bountiful supply of Purina starter mash. They didst re mind us that Easter be not far off. And with that happy date when folks of all sizes cast off their win ter garb for the brighter apparel of spring, ’tis time to cast a weather eye over the family wardrobe and see what there is in it that may be salvaged for another season. Twill be a bedraggled lot no doubt that wilt give thee an empty feeling mid ribs. But be not too dismayed for 'tis a miracle almost what these Nyssa cleaners at the Nyssa Tailor shop and at the Main’s Cleaners can do to out-at-the-elbow, down-at- the-heel wearing apparel. Oft we do speak of the care and pains taken at the Owyhee Drug store on Main near the theatre ADRIAN HOOPSTERS TO PLAY AT UNION ADRIAN—Adrian will play her first round in the 17th annual East ern Oregon Basketball tournament with Union at Union.
