B. Stanley Moore of Ontario, county chairman of the drive. The Increase boosts the quota from $200 to $2600, an Increase of $150 each for Nyssa and Vale and their surrounding farm areas and $300 for Ontario and Its surround ing territory. The Red Cross chap ter asks all individuals and or ganizations that have not made some response to former appeals to do so as early as possible. Mr. Moore stated that “about two w ¿ks ago I sent out war re lief find material to the Oranges of the county, but so far no money has been turned over to the caunty treasurer as coming from the Granges of the county, although It is understood that some benefits have been given, the proceeds of which were to be used for that purpose. “We are hoping that the Oranges will carry out whatever plans have been made and will make further plans so that every farm family will be given the opportunity to make its contribution to this very necessary part of our national de fense".

EIGHT TIRES AND 4 TUBES ISSUED the week. Mayor J. O. Olson was Informed that Ontario and Vale intended to go Into Pacific time February 9. Nyssa was asked to take the same* action. The mayor Indicated that Nyssa would follow suit. The fact that Malheur county was going to switch to Pacific time to avoid setting clocks ahead one hour was givenwide publicity In dally newspapers of Idaho and Oregon by Ontario correspondents and as a result when Monday morning arrived part of the local residents were observing mountain time and part of them mountain war time. Much confusion was caused by the mix-up In whether Nyssa was In the Pacific or mountain time belt. The schools were operating on advanced time, the post office on regular mountain time and the sugar factory on advanced moun tain time. City officials called Governor Charles A. Sprague Monday for a decision, but the chief executive referred the local men to Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle. Coun cilman Herschel Thompson report ed at the council meeting that the attorney general declined to give a decision immediately over the telephone, but promised to give the information In a letter after Inspecting the statutes. With several business men In the council chambers, the meeting was thrown open and a general discus sion was held. A. C. Sallee said there Is no question but that Nys sa should be on Pacific time. He pointed out that advancing clocks one hour would not save electricity. J. B. Olezentanner stated that Nyssa is on an extreme bulge In the time belt and therefore should be on Pacific time. He stated that this area was originally placed on mountain time because of the desire of railroad officials. A1 Thompson, Clifford Main and several others expressed the opin ion that Nyssa should be on an advanced time. Several speakers said the farmers are In favor of Pacific time. Others contended the merchants could change the open ing and closing hours of their stores If the town went on advanc ed time. The question as to whether the city had the right to decide the Issue was advanced. Apparent ly most of the business firms had switched to Pacific time today. Enlist« In Navy— Harold Rookstool enlisted In the navy recently and went to Salt Lake City. He did not know where he would be transferred from there. Mr. Rookstool, son of B F.
