The Idaho Statesman published an editorial
written in a similar vein. It stated in part:
“ Such an accomplishment indicates a combi
nation of highly desirable factors are indigenous
to Nyssa. It must be a town where business is
booming, where people are generous and civic
pirited and where the sky is the only limit its
inhabitants recognize when they set out to do
right by their community.
“ Nyssa’s self-confident motto is that it is a
place ‘where self-reliant farmers and townsmen
join hands and do things . . . a place for those
‘who care’.
“ Judging from its record, w e’d say Nyssa
practices what it preaches— and to a commend
able faretheewell” .
Residents o f the Nyssa community appreciate
the kind words of the editors of the Idaho and
state capitals, but the writers left the inference
that Nyssa residents raised all o f the money for
the hospital and that is far from true. Probably
more money was contributed and more solicit
ing done by rural residents than by townspeople.
Rural residents on both the Idaho and Oregon
sides o f Snake river did their share of work and
the townspeople do not have any intention o f
detracting from the credit that is due the far
mers, who really form the economic backbone
o f our community.

O f interest to Salem in its contemplated drive
for adequate hospital facilities is the result o f a
similar drive in the little eastern Oregon city of
Nyssa, Malheur county, “ gateway to southeast
ern Oregon, the fastest growing community in
the famous Snake river valley, with all streets
paved and curbed” as its Chamber o f Commerce
proudly proclaims.
Nyssa claims a population o f 2900 and raised
in the campaign for a new hospital $262,309,
with pledges for $5000 more. Greater Salem’s
population is estimated in the 1948 Polk’s di
rectory as 46,000. But for purposes o f compari
son, will take the more conservative figure of
43,500, or 15 times the population o f Nyssa. If
Salem citizens contributed to a hospital drive
in proportion to those o f Nyssa, the amount rais
ed would be $3,934,635. There is no reason why
they shouldn’t for our industries, resources and
wealth are far greater proportionately than
those of Nyssa.
Donors to the hospital fund in Nyssa number
ed 1650. If Salemites contributed proportionate
ly to those o f Nyssa there would be 24,750 con
tributors. Donations per capita in Nyssa are
$89.75, the average per donor $158. There was
one $12,500 donation, three of $5000, two o f
$3000, three o f $2500, four of $2000, seven of
$1500, 27 o f $1000, 116 o f $500, 18 of $300, 18
o f $250, 59 o f $200, 682 o f $100, 295 o f $50,
225 o f $25, 98 o f $10, and $58 of $5. Other
contributors made up the total.
Nyssa has reason to be proud of the enterprise
and vision of its citizens, but there is no reason
why Salem should not make a comparative
showing in a hospital campaign for the most
needed institution in the valley— unless it is
because o f traditional inertia and parsimony.
W e can’t expect much o f a future unless we
adequately prepare for it— and adequate care
o f the sick and injured is an inescapable obli
gation of the entire population. W e can attain
any goal we desire if we exercise our latent ini
tiative and driving force in a carefully planned
