NYSSA IS EN TITLED T O D E PU T Y S H E R IF F A town the size of Nyssa, located as it is 20 miles from the county seat, is entitled to a deputy sheriff. In Baker county practically every hamlet has a deputy sheriff, who is em powered to represent the county in civil and criminal actions. Of course, the situation is some what changed from the conditions pre vailing before the advent of the automo bile, but now that the use of cars is be coming more or less restricted Nyssa’s need of a deputy sheriff is increasing. The services of a deputy sheriff could be secured at very little cost as such an officer would be paid only when act ually working on a case. The cost woufd be only a few dollars a month to the county, but would constitute a great pro tection and convenience to persons in this vicinity. Chief of Police A. V. Cook has served so many years as an officer in Nys sa, residents of the rural areas around Nyssa call him when they need an officer. He is powerless to act because he has no authority outside the city limits unless he contacts the sheriff in Vale and gets a commission as deputy for that specific case. In the meantime he has lost con siderable time, which, in some cases, is very valuable. The farmers of this section and the residents of Nyssa are entitled to the ser vices of a deputy sheriff and they should make the situation clear to the officials in Vale. Speaking of the protection of Nyssa residents from criminals, one could appropriately launch into the proposed cnange in the Nyssa police force. Under the proposal Chief Cook would be placed back on night duty and Water Superin tendent Cliff Greer would be appointed a deputy so that he could be called dur ing the daytime. If the transient criminals heard that Nyssa had in effect reduced its police force, which could not be much smaller, certainly burglaries and robberies here would increase. Nyssa has been very for tunate in having a very small amount of crime. Let’s keep the burglars rolling— some place else. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1942 commodity so that rationing would not be necessary in this country. Scarcely more than a month later, the need for sugar rationing was an nounced, and it was intimated that other food-stuffs would be added to the list later. No patriotic American objects to making sacrifices which will help win the war, but many are wondering what type of fat-headedness makes a sugar short age necessary in this country. With thousands of acres of land ideally adapt ed to sugar beet raising in the western part of the United States, farmers of this area have been forced to curtail their pro duction. When the administration realized a year ago that a Japanese attack on Pearl harbor was a possibility and that much of our sugar imports from the Phil ippines and the Hawaiian islands might be imperilled, it is difficult for one to un derstand what motives caused the offic ials to restrict sugar beet planting. The nation could as easily be self- sufficient in sugar as it is in wheat, com and cotton if the farmers were permitted to produce what the citizens required. Representatives of the beet sugar raisei's begged almost with teal's in their eyes to be granted an increase over the limited acreage allotted. Not only was t his request refused, but a few days later Jesse Jones granted a loan of $11,000,000 to Cuban sugar in terests to increase their capacity. It seems that a Roberts investigation of the lack of preparation right at home would well be in order. Incidentally, are the two stuffed shirts whose smugness resulted in the deaths of several thousand American boys in Pearl harbor to be let off with the slap on the wrist of losing only one grade in their rank? Being cashiered would be the least that one should expect for such a failure. We have been puzzled over things before, but now that we are on mountain war time we are in the dark half of the morning.
