THE NYSSA GATE CITY.JOURNAL THURSDAY MARCH 2, 1944 Income are unable to buy foods wi th sufficient nutriment values. The committee on banking and curr ency listed the number of people Washington, D. C., Feb. 24-- Not all sections of the country are as prosperous and busy as the Pacific northwest, where the highest wages ever recorded in that region are being paid In the war industries. Despite the complaint that there Is a shortage of manpower and that jobs are going begging at good wa- gees, an attempt has been made to revive the old food stamp program for a large segment o f the national population. The way to hold down the cost of living (food) is to issue food st amps as a subsidy, it was argued in the'senate. Cost of food has so ared to the point where the men and women on a stationary, fixed on fixed income by type as follows: Old-age assistance 2,170,00, aid to dependent children 310,000, aid to blind 80.000, receiving general re lief 380,000 Other fixed Incomes are 1.340,000 In the federal service, excluding the military; In stale and local governments 1,920,000: In the public educational group 1,320,000. There are 880,000 receiving veteran pensions and 4,750,000 receiving military allotments; another 10,000 receiving lump-sum old-age and survivors pensions and 880,000 In that category receiving monthly payments. Under the railroad re tirement act there are 160,000 on fixed income, with 70,000 drawing civil service pensions. All these aggregate 14,000.000 receiving fixed Income. It Is this group which suf fers most with the increased cost of living, for they cannot stretch their Income, and it Is this group for which it was proposed to Issue food stamps. According to the bureau of hu man nutrition and home economics, the basic low cost for an adequate diet for a family o f four Is *646 a year. Senator LaPollette says there are 18,000,000 families In the United States whose Incomes will not per- ¡G A L L A G H E R FILES ¡FO R COM M ITTEE P. J.

Mr. Gallagher said: " I believe that the people desire to elect a man who has demonstr ated his ability as an administrator, and one who will clear up the maze o f red tape and bureaucratic con trol of the affairs of business men and farmers. •'Dewey will carry New York and the thickly populated states of the east as well as the middle west, bo th In the convention and against any person whom the Democrats might nominate, including Presid ent Roosevelt. “ I am convinced that the people desire a younger, more vigorous leader; one in sympathy with the younger people, who, after all, must bear the terrific burden placed on them by the war, and Inherited fr om 12 years of New Deal boondog gling. Dewey has made a fine re cord as Governor of New York. His fearless and efficient adminis tration of his duties and of the criminal laws of his state brands him as the type of leader the peo ple are looking for.” Mr. Gallagher reports that a state-wide organization Is being perfected on behalf of Governor Dewey, wjth headquarters In Port land. and an active committee in : every county of the state. He will file his formal candidacy ; in the near future and carry on an | active campaign In this Congress ional district for a place on the Oregon delegation to the conven tion.

There are 3,488,- 000 families .and single consumers whose income is less than $500 a year, and 6,662,000 families and single consumers whose cash in come is betwwen *1,000 and *5,000. In all these categories—various ty pes o f pensions, old-age assistance, low Incomes, etc.—the state o f W a shington, Idaho and Oregon are represented. While it is true that everyone has a ration book, the cash income of millions of people Is too low to permit them to make purchases at current prices, and many of their coupons are given away. Mortgage loan companies are st ill fighting to liquidate Home Own ers Loan Corp., and they have a high paid lobbyist camping In W a shington D.C. Now, however, HOLC is receiving support as the plan to liquidate becomes clearer. HOLC was created in the early days of the new deal to take over distressed I mortgages and make new loans on the property in peril. Hundreds of thousands of citizens would have lost their homes had HOLC not come to their rescue. HOLC also balled out many private mortgage companies by enabling these con cerns to shove the sour loans off jon Uncle Sam’s agency since 1936 ! no loans have been made and HOLC has been a servicing agency, seeing that interest was collected, taxes paid and property kept up. The record for the northwest is re payment of loans has been unsur passed. Private lending companies are determined to wipe out HOLC and force it to dispose of the good loans and be “stuck” with the unprofit able ones. They say that HOLC is : o longer needed and that govern- j ment should not compete with pri vate business. These companies sa ng another song in the early 1930s when they did everything they could to have HOLC take their bad loans. I f HOLC is not liquidated it will show a profit in June, 1952, when it expires by law, but If the private companies have their way, taxpayers will have to pocket a loss on this agency which may run to a billion dollars. Before 1952 HOLC may be needed as much to save the home owner as it was lln 1933 Wool growers of the Pacific nor thwest are beginning to worry over the 1.200.000,000-pound stockpile of wool accumlated by the state dep artment and the defense supplies corpoeration during the past year. This Is equivalent to a two years' supply for domestic needs, and th ere is already a considerable tap ering o ff of military requirements. The state department purchase was from Uruguay as part of the good neighbor policy and there Is rea son to believe it may be repeated this year. It is feared that with re turn to anything like normal con ditions the wool market will be flooded and prices will be driven down to the low level they reached after world war No. 1 and which forced many wooIgrowers Into ban kruptcy. So far prices have been sustained by commodity credit cor poration purchaaes, but these can not be continued If subsidies are definitely outlawed by congress. Attend Grange Meeting— Seven Nyssa residents attended the Pomona Orange meeting In Vale, Saturday They were Mr. and Mrs Tom Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. E. L Jamison. Mr and Mrs C. C. Cotton and Prank Sherwood. The chairmen of the standing committees of the Malheur County Public Health association announce the organiation of a new comm unity group in Sunset valley. Earl Blackaby of Ontario app ointed Hudson C. Robb on his fin ance committee. Mrs Kathryn Cl- aypool of Vale appointed Mrs Vict oria Schweizer on her education committee. Mrs E. D. Norcott of Nyssa named Mrs L. W. Pomeroy on nursing, Mrs Arthur Ackerman of Ontario appointed Mrs J. A. B l ack on supply, and Arthur H. Bone of Vale named Mrs L. E. Newgen on publicity. This group In Sunset valley has organized a community group, which gives service where needed. This group conducted last week the first permanent Infant cllnle held in Malheur county. They are supplying all necessary equipment to carry on this clinic so that the nurse does not need to take equip ment from her office In Vale. The members of the community group are Mrs James Kirkland, Mrs Annie Gregg, Mrs Kenneth Loren- sen, Mrs Ira Chadd, Mrs Edwin Bergam, Mrs W ill Buffington. Mrs George Wilson, Mrs Harry Ratae- zyk, Mrs Lew MoCoy, Mrs Albert Notheis, Mrs Grover Cooper and Mrs Helmer Julum and those nam ed on the county committees. Mrs Annie Gregg Is chairman of this group. The organization is not completed so other names will be added to the list. In discussing the campaign aga inst the spread of tuberculosis, Mrs Edna Farris of Vale, county health nurse, said Malheur county his aid ed In this great undertaking for years In 1935 it organized a County Public Health Association with C. P. Yundt of Oregon Slope as P re sident. J. L. Turnbull, Superinten dent of Ontario Schools. Arthur H. Bone, Editor and owner o f the Malheur Enterprise, Vale and Den nis W. Patch, Principal of Adrian High School have succeeded Mr. Yundt. Mr. Patch is now holding office of President. The other ele ctive officers at present ar: Vice- president, Mrs G. Y. Chester, Har per; Secretary, Mrs Chas. P. Flc- gel, Ontario; Treasurer, Arthur A t herton, Ontario. In the organization there are six standing and four special com mittees. Each of the standing com mittees have a county chairman Outsells All Other COUGH MEDICINE* These committees reach out Into every community o f Malheur co unty. It is an imposing list o l cit izens that make up these commi ttees, However, all a citizen needs to do to bcome a member of the Malheur County Public Health ass ociation is to be interested in the promotion o f community and co unty health. The executive board of the ass ociation Is made up of the four elective officers and the chairmen of the standing committees and the special committees. This hoard meets the 2nd Saturday of every month at 10 A.M. alternating be tween Ontario, Nyssa and Vale. Following out one of the object ives o f the Malheur county branch experiment station, that Is to try to solve some of the problems of crop and livestock producers, the local station in 1943 conducted fertilizer trials on sugar beets, the result of which can provide aid to the pro ducers of this crop. Working with sulphur, barnyard manure and phosphate. It was fo und that barnyard manure alone produced 4 4 tons of sugar beets to the acre more than the check plots, and barnyard manure with sulphur Increase the yield over the manure fertilizer plot by an add itional half ton. In four different combinations in which sulphur was used. It Increased yields over check plots of three tons or better to the acre. Various theories are proposed as j to the effect of sulphur In com bination with soils of this county, but all of them may have an el ement of practical application. The first is that sulphur In combination with other elements In the soil provides sulphuric acid which re duces the lkalinity In the soil by neutralization. I f this as a fact, it would seem a safe recommendation to make to use only pure sulphur or 99 'a percent pure sulphur for app lication to the soil. I f sulphur Is applied In the form of gypsum, It Is quite evident that the calcium will not only use up the sulphuric acid released by the sulphur in the gypsum, but also the large percent age of calcium or alkalinity In pro portion to the small amount of sulphur In the gypsum would pro vide an excess alkalinity, there by adding to the alkali already In the soil. Another theory Is that phosphor us and calcium usually comBlne and upon the application of sulphur, the sulphur reacts with the calcium to make up a sulphate which Is soluable and Is available to the pl ant as plant food. This releases the phosphorus which is also used by the plant In the form of phosphoric acid. There Is a slight excess of calcium from this reaction, but this is washed out o f the soil by irrigat ion in part but also increases the alkalinity o f the soil. These experiments will be con tinued another year as better evid ence can be obtained as a result of several successive experiments. Here From Boise— Mr and Mrs John Sherer, M r and Mrs T. J.
