Teacher Speaks
At PTA Meeting
Mrs. Harriet Brumbach, Nyssa
high school teacher, who is prom­
inent in educational circles in Or­
egon, told members of the Nyssa
P. T. A. at a meeting held in the
high sohool building last Thurs­
day night that “The tendency in
America seems to be laizze faire,
which is a dangerous tendancy. If
we wish to safeguard our Ameri­
ca, we must be willing to attend
to details of it.”
"People's money sometimes comes
first and their children second.”
Mrs. Brumbach said.
"There is
great need In our schools for
character training; for vocational
training. The burden is being plac­
ed on the schools and they are
accepting the burden placed on
them. Here lies the danger.
“Some ask if federal aid to ed­
ucation would give the government
an opportunity to control our
schools. It hasn't in the Smith-
Hughes act and other acts, but the
danger will not be through federal
aid, but through our own inertia.
“I am happy to compare Mal­
heur county schools, especially the
Nyssa schools, with other schools.
They rank well in the nation.
“Fathers are too busy providing
for their modern families and
mothers are too busy being church
and civic leaders. The result is
that the schools are more and more
assuming the responsibilities of the
parents.
Religious training was
formerly taught in the churches.
Family ties are being, weakened.
We-have all k i’ c ? ! , ' chibs, but we
have very few fana.y cSuhs.
“A small percentage of the stud­
ent's time is spent In sohool. Sixty
to 80 per cent of his tlma is spent
out of school.
The radio, the
comics and the movies are great
educational factors in his life",
Stating that students receive
training in citizenship,
health,
mental higiene, culture and art in
addition to the 3 R's, Mrs. Brum­
bach said “I wonder sometimes if
we haven't forgotten the 3 R's. We
are making things softer and softer
for our youngsters and our par­
ents”.
Preceding the talk, the Methodist
choir, directed by Mrs. Donald
Campbell and accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. C. W. Buchner, sang
"H ie Recessional". The junior high
school glee club, directed by Ray
Weatherspoon, sang two selections.
VALE MEN BONDED

Armistice Observance
Are Held
Speakers participating in
the
dedication of the new Malheur
Memorial hospital on Alberta ave­
nue Armistice day emphlaed that
the hospital, which is now under
construction, was made possible by
the effective work and spirit of
co-operation of the resident« o f
'he hospital district during the
financial campaign that was con­
ducted during the fall of 1 9 «.
On the day set aside for cele­
bration of the armistice that end­
ed the first world war, residents
of the district combined the cor­
nerstone-laying
ceremonies
with
the Armistice day observance of
the Nyssa war veterans, now com ­
posed of those who fought in both
world wars.
Scheduled as the principal speak­
er, Arvel Child, president of the
hospital association and bishop ot
the second ward of the L. D. S.
church, declared that "This is an
enioyable occasion because it is
connected with a great service pro­
ject instituted and carried forward
through love of our fellowmen and
our community-mindedness. I dare
say there is not one person here
who gave solely with the idea that
he would personally profit from
this project to the full extent o f
his giving. We give because of the
love we have for our children, our
grandchildren and our neighbors
and friends. This is a principle
that has made America great, and
such principles will continue to
maintain it as such.
“ In a projeot of this kind a great
deal of time must be spent in plan­
ning. organizing, and supervising.
We have hi the community over a
hundred men who have given of
(heir means and hours and hours
of their time for the advancement
of this cause.”
After revealing figures to show
'he great amount of time spent
in the financial campaign. Bishop
Child praised Dr. J. J. Sarazin,
pioneer Nyssa physician, and the
late Frank T. Morgan, first presi­
dent of (he hospital association,
for their untiling efforts In be-
nalf of the organization and the
community.
"This is to be a memorial hos­
pital, a memorial to the many who
offered their very all, even to life
itself, as a sacrifice that we might
enjoy peace and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. They fought
and some died for the very thing
we here have exemplified service
to and charity toward mankind
and through continued unity of
purpose and the determination and
drlvltv power to carry on. we shall
make our dreams a reality and
our accomplishments a blessing to
all within our reach.
God help us to ever be united in
this great humanitarian cause. In­
still within us the spirit of ser­
vice to each other, and help us
to carry to completion this noble
and worthy project.
May those
whose lives were sacrificed in the
past world conflicts rejoice in our
