. THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1940 And it will be a tired and happy family that returns to the home nest at nightfall with happy mem ories of a happy day. But tis no picnic for Mother if she must stand over a hot cook stove all day before getting ready the feast for the picnic meal. Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa's Shops But here in Nyssa that ist not necessary for at the Nyssa Packing store they do have all manner of cold meats and cheeses to pop into sandwiches or to take along and make the eatin's on the spot. The latter 1st a labor and money-saving device for what ist left then canst be brought home and used for cold lunches at the home table where prepared sandwiches brought home from the picnic always smack of left-overs. COW HOLLOW The Happy Farmer The water is on in the canal again and everybody is wearing a big smile. A bunch of us were helping put up Jim Trammel's hay, when the water came down the ditch. We went to Lem McCoy's for dinner. One fellow said, “ I am going down and wash in the ditch. It has been a long time since I have had that pleasure." We all made a run for the ditch. It was rather hard to get into along there and some fell in, but boy, it felt good to splash in the ditch once more. Jim has recovered from his wreck very fast. Two weeks and two days from the day he was smashed up, and looked as though he might not live, we were putting up his hay. Jim said, "I can't do anything my self so I will take the car and a couple of barrels and go get some water for the horses for noon.” When he came back we were still a couple of men short so he said, "I believe I can drive a slip until one of them comes. I can ride both ways." When he got out into the field there was an extra fork on the slip and we were short-handed so he took the fork and helped load. He had been going on crutches just two days before. When another man finally came he put him to pitching in the field and the other man never did come so he worked on the slip all day. Next morning, Jim said he was pretty sore but he worked all day again, anyway. While the water was off a few people got some visiting done, but everybody is plenty busy now. Mrs. George Gabriel’s aged aunt, 82 years old, and uncle from Cali fornia were up and spent a week or 10 days and left Monday morn ing at five o'clock for to start their journey home. They were dreading their drive home. It gets pretty hot these days for people of that age, to be driving all day on the highways. The Parker boys' mother from Hood River have been visiting them in Cow Hollow for some time. It doesn't get so hot on the sides of old Mt. Hood as it does out here in the desert. But we are getting shade trees started and more grass pastures so after awhile it won’t be so hot here either. Mr. Lornsen and family from Sunset Valley spent the day with the Fraiyc Parker family on Sun day before the water came on. The chances are they spent the next Sunday with the water. We were all more anxious to see the water than anybody we knew of. Doc Raffington is expecting his brother from Kansas, out here the first part of July. Doc has two brothers and they both are dentists too. This one runs a big wholesale dental supply house and the other one is in business in Missouri. Don Parker had an earache and it kept getting worse and worse un til finally it was just setting him wild, he thought it was a mastoid and went to the doctor on Friday morning. Doctor Maulding picked a piece of cheat grass out of his ear and Friday night he was able to sleep again. Elza Nlccum and Fred LaShaunse have three sows with pigs now. A fourth now, a big red one, had 11 pigs and died the other day.

The first she said that hadst ever been given there. And she didst wonder why no one before hadst ever thought of those p u r e waters flowing constantly warm from earth's center as sym bolical of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And surely no finer spot for consecration to God could be chosen than that one. Placed high on the Butte where lie everywhere the evidence of eons of the perma nency of the All-Knowing, below spread out the fertile valleys, be speaking His eternal goodness to man and a brooding beauty in land and sky that twould be hard to duplicate. Even without baptism one leaves the place with soul re freshed.
