The parents of Nyssa cannot do anything ab out old Snake river that rolls along the eastern edge of our town, but they can do something about the traffic danger that exists near the sc hool buildings in the western pail of the city. Now that the federal government and mun icipalities are planning various types of build ing programs to take up the after-war employ ment lag, the people of Nyssa should consider some soil of program for construction of an un derpass or viaduct by the schoolhouses. Maybe no child has been killed by an autom obile at the junction of the Adrian and Ontario highways, but Lady Luck is not always going to be on the side of Nyssa parents. The school ch ildren are handling the situation now by oper ating a school patrol system. The publisher of this paper is not sufficien tly familiar with construction to suggest the ty pe of program needed, but he knows that some thing can be done, if the people are sufficiently aroused to realize the danger. The danger to children and adults going to the school houses from the main part of town is increased by the distance they are forced to wa lk in the face of automobile traffic because of the great width and length of the “Y”.

The ratio of Ge rmans to Italians is approximately three to one. In addition to the pe- rment camps, there are many tem porary ones set up to house prison ers in areas with labor shortages. Agricultural work done by prison ers includes harvesting fruit, tom atoes, potatoes, peanuts, cotton, sugar beets, and corn. Only a few prisoners have escaped and every on of them has been recaptured in a few hours.
