Prisoners
Possibility of establishment of
a war prisoner camp between Nyssa
ok
and Adrian was rumored here this
week. Whether the camp will be es­
ok
tablished in Malheur county, or at
all, could net be learned.
Reports indicate that army o ff­
icers visited this community to con­
sider the projxised establishment of
the camp.
T h e camp, which would cost more
than $1,000,000, would be constructed
to accommodate 2000 prisoners. The
prisoners, mostly Italians, would be
used on local farms as laborers at
a “going” wage.
I f the camp is established, con­
struction work will not be started
until late fall.
Approximately 400 acres of land
would be required for the camp,
which the government apparently
proposes to erect at Owyhee comer.
About 400 soldiers would be needed
to guard the prisoners.

POET’S
CORNER
Edited by
T. CAROL BYBEE
This poem was ohosen from the
twenty, submitted at the Poets Club
Friday evening.
THE N IG H T
By Doris E. Anderson
They that love real beauty, know
the night
And become astranged with it's
charms.
The magic of it's songs brings deep
sight
Enchanting out dark souls from
dire harm.
Mysterious night, we come at your
call,
Our tasks let go, for till tomorrow;-
Stop to pause as lureing shadows
fall.
W e give to thee our troubles and
our sorrow.
T h y music is calling us to rest.
You take us away from our trials.
For we dream of tomorrow and zest
We race on thus for thousands of
miles
Though the night may be long,
still we sing;
Thy deep calm is such peace to be­
hold.
T h y mighty melodies give us being
As we fly to thy slumbering fold.
Silent night, you inspire us to float
Ore the sea of dawning, our day
break.
Ah, vain words from our Ups we
gloat
Because we are enthrawlled for your
sake
T o whisper Just something sweet
and fine;
All creatures, still night, doth sing
to you
All nature and earth sights, ‘tis de-
vine.
This mantle so dark, old, yet new.
Inspire« us for new hopes, a new
day.
Oh, calm night, test us from our
worn flesh.
Bring us the dawn with new zeal
for our day.
