Can Be Proud of It s e lf ....
When a community can put forth a co-operative effort, such as
the residents of Nyssa and vicinity, and build themselves a
hospital as modern and up-to-date as the Malheur Memorial
hospital, they, indeed, can be proud of themselves.
Many hours of work has been devoted and a lot of money
has been donated by the people of this community, but the
goal has been reached, the building completed and well
equipped.
All these folks, we sincerely congratulate-and we might add,
we also are proud lo be one of you.
