The date of the canning com pany celebration,, marking the first "campaign” of the concern in the Nyssa factory, has been set for Saturday. August 23. All residents of the community, including rural residents and towns people, will be invited to attend a iunch to be served by the chamber of commerce and the canning com pany and see the plant in opera tion. Fred Moss, head of the in stitution, will provide guides to show those in attendance through the cannery. Mr. Moss said the first corn will be canned about the middle of the month or slightly before that time. The new machinery should be op erating smoothly by the time ol the open house. The children’s day program will be held shortly before the middle of September. The date cannot be set at the present time because of the uncertainty as to the opening time of school, which will depend largely upon the completion of the repair work now underway on the elementary building. The children’ program, which will be in charge of the Nyssa I,ions club, will again include a parade, games and other events at the park and a free motion picture show. If the Main street surfacing pro ject give" indication soon enough that it will foe completed by the first part of September, festivities celebrating the completion will be conducted in conjunction with th e1 children's day program.
