Plans for dedicating the propos ed Malheur Memorial hospital in Nyssa to servicemen who diad in world war II were outlined at a meeting of the committee last Thursday night. The name of the institution was also selected at the meeting. The names of the local men who died in the service of their country will be placed on a plaque to be placed in the hospital. The names of all Nyssa residents will be divided among the Lions club members for solicitation. Sol icitors will also be sought in the outlying sections. Each person or family donating $1000 to the fund will have a pla que bearing the name of the donor affixed to the door of a room. Contributions may be made either in cash or pledges, which may be paid over a period of months. The business district will be can- assed for prizes, which will be given to the solicitors collecting he greatest amount of money. A board of direcors including at least one doctor will be elected by families who contribute to the hospital fund. If for any reason the committee finds that the hospital cannot be built, the money will be refunded to the donors. On December 17, 1944 the amount of water in storage in the reservoir was 362,800 acre feet and this year at the same date the amount war 493,820 acre feet.
