at this time in 1944.
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. As a result the
reservoir is expected to fill earlier
than usual.
