APPEAL ISSUED
FOR W AR FUNDS
The Red Cross war relief fund
quota for Malheur county has Just
been Increased 30 per cent by the
national Red Cross, according to
Rev. 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

do so as early as possible.
Mr. Moore stated that “about

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. Rook
