The rats used by the Malheur
county nutrition council have be­

The rats, used in experiments sh­
owing the effects of improved diet,
have been loaned to the nutrition
councils in Baker and LaGrande
and are now being used in Hood

Weiser To Play
Nyssa Here Fri.
The Weiser football team. Snake
river valley champion in 1942, will
play the Nyssa Bulldogs on the
Nyssa field Friday afternoon at
2:15.
The Weiser team includes eight
of last year's squad. Its attack is
built around Walker, a very fast,
shifty halfback.
Farm work is interferring with
practice of the Nyssa team so that
the boys are not in very good con­
dition. They have been working
hard all week on blocking and tac­
kling.
The Nyssa lineup, Coach John
Young said, will be about the same
as the group that appeared in the
Jamboree, except for a few changes
in the line. Keith Bybee has earned
a place on the line. Harold Loe is
also in line for a guard post. Jim
Fugil loos good in the backfleld. If
Morgan does not play because of
illness and a leg injury, Steinke
will stay in the backfield. Coleman
might also break into a back posit­
ion.
Production of rationed shoes for

by wartime shortages so that the

MEETING TOPIC
The Methodist community church
of Nyssa will be dedicated Sunday
evening, October 3 at 8 o’clock with
Bishop Bruce R. Baxter, bishop of
the Portland area of the Methodist
church, delivering the dedication
sermon.
Bishop Baxter will be assisted in
the dedication by Dr. Charles N.
Donaldson of Nampa, district sup-
ertendent of the western district of
the Idaho conference. Invitations
have been issued to all former past­
ors and old-time members of the
Nyssa church now living in other
places.
Rev. M. H. Greenlee, the present
pastor, under whose supervision the
church was built is also sending in­
vitations to all members in the ar­
med services and defense work.
Special music will be presented
by a double mixed quartet. An in­
formal reception for Bishop Baxter
will be held in the church parlors
at the close of the dedication ser­
vice. The public is invited to attend
the dedication and reception.
Construction of the church build­
ing was started in 1941 after the
old church and parsonage were
burned. By this week, the church
will be completely finished and free
of all debt. The building, which
has been in use slightly more than
one year, cost approximately $12,-
000. The parsonage C0 6 t approxim­
ately $1500.
The church building is a fire­
proof brick structure with reinfor­
ced concrete basment. It contains
an auditorium and class rooms ad­
equate to meet the needs of thUs
community for several years, Rev.
Greenlee believes.
Social rooms in the basement,
beautifully finished and well light­
ed, not only furnish a delightful
meeting place for church organiz­
ations, but also provide a place for
community meetings in general.
The yard has been landscaped by
a professional landscaper and p l­
antings are being made as fast as
possible in accordance with the pr­
e-arranged plan. A large outside
fireplace that will match the ch­
urch is now being built by the yo­
ung people under the direction of
the pastor.
A district conference will be held
Monday, October 4 for all ministers
of the western district of the Idaho
conference. Dr. Donaldson will pre­
side.
Bishop Baxter will deliver an
address to the ministers and other
interested persons at 11:25 a.m.
“Our Biggest Bargain in Pood"
will be the subject for the next
Health for Victory club meeting
to be held October 7 in the high
school building, Mrs. Anderson,
home demonstrator for the Idaho
Power company, announced.
“ From a health standpoint, milk
and milk products offer the biggest
bargain of all foods," Mrs. Ander­
son explained. “ At our next Health
for Victory meeting, the housewives
will study not only the nutritive
values of milk but als a wide
variety of ways to use milk in
cooking.”
The home demonstrator said that
although practically everyone re­
cognizes that milk is a health-build­
ing food, many people are unaware
that it contains fat, sugar, protein,
vitamin A. vitamin B -l, vitamin
B-2, niacin, vitamin C, calcium
and phosphorous.
