Column
Things About Nyssa’s Shops
All month wf had looked forward
to a trip to the mountains, to look
cut again upon craggy mountain
peaks blue in the distance and to
gain again some of their serenity
and peace.
But although they lay there as we
knew they would, as beautiful and as
Inspiring as ever, still the peace and
serenity was not for us. We had left
hurriedly with little time for any­
thing other than packing, but the
farther we got from this office and
our mind settled down to orderly-
thinking the more we realized that
unconciously and without malice
aforethought we had done a grave
injustice to a noble organization as
well as to our many-friends here at
home. So obsessed did we become
with the thought of our misdoing
that we talked of it to our perman­
ent co-traveler and he understand­
ing was willing to cut short our stay
and another day in the timber to
return that some how we might do
what little we could to make things
better. Especially bad did this col­
umn sound when last week there
came a call from the Nyssa Red
Cross chaiiman, Mrs. Dick Tensen,
who gives so much of her time, en­
ergy and self in the matter of var­
ious relief for others.
This much we can say that the
article was already off the press
when her news came in. If it had
not been it would not have been run.
neither would it have been if the
office critic had b°en at hand, but
a meeting had called him that day.
After reading it in quiet and sober
judgement we wondered how we
could hnve written it. fcr the things
we had intended to convey were
hidden and the things we do not be­
lieve were there.
Certainly no belittlement was
meant for the unselfish labors of
our many friends and acquaintances
who in the midst of busy harvest and
canning days find time to labor in
sincere pity for suffering people
whom they will never see.

And those groups in cities who
have heurs of idle time on their
’ ands and fill them with effort
».hat ever their motive are bette. eff
than with no constructive thing to
accomplish.
Of course funds of the Red Cross
are raised by public donation, we
ourselves have helped to collect them
and have paid our own tithes from
time to time.
And in these funds collected there
is allocated to the home community
a certain percentage to be used there
as the Chairman deems necessary.
Mrs. Tensen has told us more than
once of the things she has been able
to do to help a needy person, where
other relief funds were not avail­
able. One such we remember was a
spool of thread and sewing equip­
ment that a poor man might fix his
clothes a bit and apply for work.
As for other rehabilitation work
the government is working out many
plans now for the alleviation of pov­
erty. The tearing down and rebuild­
ing of old slums in cities
Right here in this country the
P. S. A. is cairying a program of aid
little realized by these not immed­
iately interested in it. Just one small
instance was the aid and relief given
through those offices to the polio
suffers of last autumn. There too is
a housing program started which
no doubt will expand as time goes
on. Their nurse did a valuable piece
of assistance in the county last win­
ter, caring for those of the F.
S. A. labor camp who had remained
in the community for the winter and
who were in need. sick, hungry and
cold. The three branches of county
assistance in these matters, The
County Relief, The County Nurse
and The F. S. A. worked almost as
one group without friction. The F.
S. A. camp itself has been a fine
step ahead in the care of homeless
workers, their families and their
children. Each year since their es­
tablishment they have stopped a
possible epidemic of Small Pox by
its immediate recognition, the isola­
tion of the patient and the im­
munization of those in camp.
And now we understand altho we
have not been out to see how it works
there is a man part of whose duties
is to oversee the play grounds, to
teach little folk American standards
of fair play, to keep them, active in
healthful, body and mind building
play. There are showers there, and
sanitation such as they might never
be able to afford outside the camp.
The people living there are made to
feel as free American citizens. Earn­
ing their way and paying for it. feel­
ing that they are a needed part of
our peoples. At the end of the season
some always find them selves on
their economic feet again and be­
come a part of the community, some
finding work in town, others on
ranches, a few able to become land
owners themselves.
Mistakes in administration may
have been made, but so are they in
every new endeavor, it is usually a
good deal of trial and error in find­
ing the main highway in any field
of activity.
But our needy have been helped
and will continue to be helped
through Red Cross and government­
al channels, and some day we may
have hot body building and substan­
tial hot lunches in our small com­
munity and rural school as there
are In city schools. And a place
where little feet may be given shoes
that fit and warm undergarments
and coats.
It is because-we have lived here
these last four years and have seen
the mighty effort and the great ob­
stacles that so many have under­
gone and overcome just to own a
home of their own and to have a
place where they may raise their
families in security that we feel so
deeply on this home help problem.

If American m?n and women can
work so hard and endure so much in
a time when the country is supposed
to be getting "soft.” they deserve all
that we can give them to help them,
help themselves. Aid, temporary,
with perhaps some method worked
out of repayment is far different
than "Relief.”
But above all the worry condition
over our misdeeds was the thought
that we were an American citizen,
living in these United States where
no concentration camp faced us for
a seeming adverse opinion, neither
could those we love suffer for our
own folly, however unmeant it was
or was not.
As for turning our backs on the
Red Cross in either word or thought
or deed we have been busy this past
month getting registration cards and
so forth in order that should the
need come or an emergency call, we
will be ready to do what we can in
the field we know best.
And this is "Thirty” for the
Snooper. We had meant last weeks
to be but felt that there must be
one more.
Almost four years it has been a
part of this paper, we hoped that
each week those who read it might
find a little something of interest,
perhaps a laugh, a little thought to
make a rough place easier. Many
have told us that we did not alto­
gether fail. We have loved writing
it and the many friends that it has
brought us, but for some time have
felt that its usefulness was ended,
that other things of more import­
ance in this time of preparedness
and defense should have the space
