Members of the Civic Club heard
Dr. L. A. Mauldlng, Nyssa physician
and surgeon and city health officer

munization In the Prevention of Di­

In hls talk Dr. Mauldlng said that

gree on the state of health during
the preschool years. “It Is of little

children should have a good physi­
cal check, including dental, every six
months, and that nutrition, rest,
sunshine and immunization are the
safeguards of good health. Children
should be protected from colds and
poorly ventilated rooms. Diphtheria
a very serious disease can be stamp­
ed out if all will cooperated, he said,
pointing out that diphtheria toxoid
has had the most wide spread ap­
proval of any type of immunization.
A survey of the county should be
made to find out how many have
not been immunized and where the
need is the greatest, according to
Dr. Mauldlng. Six months is the
Ideal age for immunization and doc­
tors and health departments should
agree on all details, for disagree­
ment only decreases public confi­

Dr. Mauldlng closed hls talk by
saying that drives for immuniza­
tion should be carefully planned,
that a good drive was better than

that to be successful the drives
should be sufficiently financed, have
proper publicity. Properly financed
drives would Insure follow up work

who would not otherwise be able to

SCHOOL JANITOR RESIGNS
FOR DEFENSE JOB
— ♦ —
No Bids Received
On Water Works
Improvement
Contractors shied clear of bidding
on the proposed laying of new water
mains and the drilling of a new well
and construction of well houses.
Those who might nave bid on the
job said that the time specification
for the completion of the proposed
work, 30 days, from the time of the
award of the bid, was out of the
question, due to the impossibility of
them receiving the necessary ma­
terials for the work. Priorities have
to be established for most of the m a­
terials, and this, so the contractors
contended could be done only by the
city. At best, the mateiials will not
be available until sometime after the
first of the yeffr.
The city council, Monday night, in
view of the absence of any bids, vot­
ed to buy the materials and to re­
advertise for bids, but only for the
necessary work.
City Record M. F. Solomon and
Project Engineer W. I. Hodge were
appointed o na committee with full
power to act in the purchas of the
necessary materials, which will in­
clude pipe and fittings, pump, sand
trap and steel window sash for the
pump houses. All of these materials
must be obtained on a priority basis
through the office of production
management.
Bids fr the work will be deceived by
the city recorder up until 8 p. m.
Monday, October 6, when the bids
will be opened and the contract
awarded provided they are satisfac­
tory.
Negotiations for the purchas of
the new well site, Just north of the
school gymnasium were completed
Monday night when Solomon was
instructed to draw a city warrant in
favor of School District 26 in the
amount of $200 for the site.

Weiserand Nyssa
To Play Friday
By Wesley* Sherman
Weiser high schools powerful foot­
ball team will meet the Nyssa high
Bulldogs on the local field tomorrow,
Friday, September 26, at 2:15 p. m.,
in the first Snake River Valley con­
ference game for both schools.
Coach A. J. Lloyd’s Wolverines
have high hopes of winning the pen­
nant in the Snake River league.
Boasting a heavy squad with a solid
forward line and a fleet-footed set
of backs, Weiser is especially good
on power plays. This power of
smashing through the opposition
was demonstrated in an early game
with Caldwell last Friday. The Wol­
verines emerged from the game on
the long end of a 20 to 0 count.
In the backfleld for Weiser, Win-
blgler, a heavy veteran, occupies the
fullback position and canies the ball
on the team's crusher plays. 8hifty
left half Tyhurst does the squad's
broken-field running and is another
man that is expected to cause plenty
of trouble for Snake River oppon­
ents.
The Blue and White will enter the
fray Friday with an underdog ra t­
ing on the basis of Welser's defeat­
ing Caldwell and Nyssa’s loss to
Fruitland. The Bulldogs will be at
full strength for the Weiser contest,
however, and the boys under the
tutelage of Coaches John Young and
Irwin Elder have been putting their
all Into practices this week in order
to plug holes that Fruitland found
in their lineup.
Efforts tobolster the center of the
line have occupied the attention of
the coaches especially this week.
Chester Ashby, too, will probably be
shifted to end position from the
backfield, according to Coach Young.
No injuries have yet marred the
chance of the Bulldogs, and thay are

ence game this year a victory.
