For Red Cross
_
— -
Mrs. Dick Tensen, Nyssa chair­
man of the National Red Cross re­
ports that this week there has been
a new shipment of relief materials
received. While the response for
Red Cross workers has been most
gratifying according to Mrs. Ten-
sen, tthe need grows every day for
more workers and especially cro-
cheters and knitters.
Especially needed at present are
women who can knit socks and there
is plenty of yarn now on hand to
supply any one wishing to take a
part in this activity. There is also
on hand new yarns for crocheting
and knitting of other garments.
On Tuesday Mrs. Tensen and Mrs.
William E.Schireman made a house
to house canvass for sewers and
were more than pleased with the
respnse of everyone. Seventy five
girls skirts and twenty hospital
bed Jackets are now in the making
in this area for Red Cross relief,
Mrs. Tensen reported.
Nyssa voters, for the second time
have given their approval to the
issuance of bonds for the improve­
ment of the water system, without
a single negative vote.
At the election Monday, 63 voters
cast their ballots, all in favor of the
$18,000 water bond issue. At the
election held In June for the $13,000
bond issue 96 votes were cast with
no di-senting votes registered
against the bonds.
The city council will now adver­
tise the bonds for sale, which will
be in denominations of $1,000, will
mature serially with the first bond
maturing September 1, 1944 and one
bond each year from then on will be
retired. The bonds are callable at
the discretion of the council. Rev­
enue for the paying of the interest
and principle on the bonds will be
made from the water system fund,
and in the event that, that amount
is insufficient, from taxation.
Bids for the bonds will be opened
at the City hall at 8 p. m.. Sept. 8.
County Health
Nurse Resigns
On Thursday, August 14, Mrs.
Margaret Logan, R. N, who has
served since last October as County
Nurse, submitted her resignation to
the Malheur County Curt.
Mrs. Logan expressed her appre­
ciation of support she has received
from school and county authorities.
She expressed the opinion that be­
cause o the many calls which come
from the three major cities, Vale,
Nyssa, and Ontario, and outlying
country, that the employment of
two nurses would be essential if the
needs of the wide-spread and rap­
idly growing population of this
county are to be met.
The position vacated by Mrs. Lo­
gan had not up to Thursday of this
week been filled, due. Judge Graham-
said to a scarcity of public health
nurses. The judge has 'written to
the State Board of Health asking
for a public health nurse and has
been advised that none are avail­
able at the present time and that
it is quite likely that a raise in the
$135 per monh salary will have to
be made if one is obtained.

mers of America will begin holding

ing scheduled for Tuesday, August

chairmen and F. F. A. officers will
be held at the home of the club ad­
visor, Robert Sawyer on Monday,

BELIEVE I f JR NOT, IT
WASN'T FRIDAY THE 13th
Friday tha 13th is consid­
ered by many to hold a pe­
culiar sort of jinx over the
inhabitants of this world of
ours. John Oatrom, of Nyssa
however says that he believes
that Friday the 15th holds as
much terror as any Friday
falling on the 13th. And to
prove his contention, here is
what happened to him on a
trip that he took last Friday
to Boise, returning here by
the way of Emmett:
Just east of Parma a far­
mer driving a ear with a stock
trailer attached dashed out
across thè highway causing
John to clamp down on the
brakes and grab for the em­
ergency also. After recover­
ing from this shock he pro­
ceeded to Boise only to have
a truck smack the rear end
of his car turning it com­
pletely around. John said
that he has heard that troub­
les comes in three's so he
was on the Upkout for what
would happen next—and he
wasn’t dlssappolnted for on
his way to Emmett another
truck headed for him and
Jchn and his car landed In a
roadside ditch.
With the much vaunted
cycle of three back of him,
John was sure that his troub­
les were at an end—but he
didn’t reckon with a truck
that he met on the road to
Nyssa. This truck it seems
had a long log chain dragging
from the body—and Just as
John was about to pass this
truck the chgln snagged In
the road causing it to lash
off toward his car narrowly
missing the windshield.
John says he Is going to ride
a bicycle on Friday's from now
on.

Two out-of-season Idaho hunters,

bined fine of $125 and $10 cost in

The fifty-some Malheur County Bond Vote
Homemakers who returned last Sun­
day evening from their five day va­
cation camp at Pilgrim's Cove. Pay­
ette Lakes, were most enthusiastic
about this year’s program.
For the past eight years such
camps, providing a restful and In­
teresting vacation at little expense
have been sponsored by the Oregon
State Extension Service, headed by
Mrs, Azalea Sager, Local arrange­
ments are made through the County
Agents office assisted by a local
committee chosen by campers, this
year's chaiman being Mrs. Cora
Thompson of Nysaa.
Campers welcomed as director
again Miss Izola Jensen, Extension
Specialist, In Community Social Or­
ganization, who has been in charge
of the camp for the past 5 years.
Mrs. Archie Hawkins, camp nurse,
looked after the proper emergency
care of any minor accidents or ail­
ments suffereed by the campers.
Plans are already under way for
next summer’s camp. Following is
a list of new committee members
elected at camp by various districts
represented; Cora Thompson, chair­
man andOrma Goodell, Nyssa;
Clara Points and Hida Davis, Ad­
rian and Homedale; Susie Udick and
Mary Mallett, Ontario; and Ot-
talie Alexander and Sarah Aldrich

were the following: Camp Area, Jule
Barlow; Program Adviser, Minnie

ity and Picnic, Amy S. Larkin, and
Ada Perry; County Fair Booth,
Florence Young; Foods, Clara

The annual after-camp picnic for

side the boat asking that passen­
gers toss in coins for them to dive
after—aand very few oolns ever get
lost—when they retrieve your tossed
coin from the water they come to
the surface, hold the coin up for
you to see that they have it. These
swimmers support their families
from the coins rescued from the blue
Pacific. As is usual the docking
of a boat in Honolulu is very pic­
turesque—a band plays “Aloha Oe”
the territory's greeting song, and
mountains of lei’s (floral wreaths)
are brought aboard by friends of the
passengers and native girls. These
lei's are placed around the necks of
the passengers as a token of wel
come.
Following the docking, a represen­
tative of the company met us and
took us to the Naval Employees Ho­
tel, which is a former school build­
ing transformed into a hotel to ac­
commodate employees coming to and
from the Islands. Indoor games, a
football field and a basketball
court furnished employees with ath-
etic diversion. Each Sunday there
is an excursion and sightseeing bus
that makes a loop around the entire
Island. The sightseer goes over the
Pali, where King Komokamla com
mitted suicide, and sees the natives
in their true native habitat.
Employees usually spend from one
to three weeks waiting for an equip­
ment boat to Palmyra. It takes
from 3 to 6 days to reach this un­
inhabited island, which before the
contractors moved onto, to make a
nightmare for the birds and co-
coanut crabs, had never heard the
sound of tractors, trucks, the ring
of picks and shovels on the coral
rocks.
We put in 16 hours a day at our
work, being paid time and a half
for all hours worked over eight.

Project and appointment of Howard
Bertsch, regional farm management
specialist as area supervisor with
headquarters at Ontario was an­
nounced today by Walter A. Duffy,
reginal director.
“Experience in working with over
800 farm familes in Malheur county
Indicates that a closely coordinated
program of special tenure, land de­
velopment, financing and coopera­
tive aids are necessary to serve most
effectively families in new settle­
ment areas,” Duffy said.
Bertsch will bring together all
FSA activities in the county and

taining offices now established in
Vale and Ontario, Duffy explained.

debt adjustment, tenane purchase
and the migratory labor camp at
Nyssa.
“Since 1935, Farm Security has
loaned a total of $739,000 to 828 fam­
ilies in the country, and made 61
special real estate and improvement
loans, mostly on the Vale-Owyhee
project,” said Duffy. “FSA esti­
mate is that 500 more families can
eventually be aided in establishing
themselves."
Bertsch is expected to officially
report for duty about Sept. 1st.
Governor Charles A. Sprague has
wired his acceptance of the Mal­
heur Cunty Fair Board to be pre­

DISPOSAL PLANT
Councilman John Ostrom
this week issued a warning
to persons with a perverted
sense of humor who have
made a practice of throwing
pipes and kindred material In­
to the digester plant of the
sewer system. If the culprits
are apprehended they will be
dealt with according to law
for destroying publicly owned
property.
The blades of the digester
plant have been broken and
the chains to certain sprock­
et wheels have been thrown
off due to some one throwing
an iron pipe, according t Cliff
Greer, water and sewer sup­
erintendent.
At present the plant is not
fenced, but Councilman Os-
trom is going to ask the Coun­
cil to make provisions for the
fencing of the plant, as at the
present time It constitutes a
danger to youngsters who may
fall into one of the pits.
