The chamber took no direct action an the time ohange. but announce ment was made that the directors oppose the plan for faster time because of this community’s proxi mity to Idaho, which will remain on standard time. If necessary, Nyssa could elect to switch to P a cific fast time, which would leave the town on the same time as at present. The discussion on the proposed time ohange was opened by Frank Sherwood, local farmer and Orange leader, who said the Orange Is op posing the proposal. “I am wondering whether we are going to be ornery and contrary”, Sherwood said. “We want to know what the community Is going to do. We want to co-operate with the businessmen, so they go on fast time probably we will tag along". Thomas Jones, chamber president, assured Sherwood the businessmen Ontario and Vale are expected io follow the same plan as Nyssa In declining to change time A y il 29. are opposed to fast time. Ormond Thomas, chairman of the chamber roads committee, reported that he Is opposed to construction of a highway west of the high school because of the increase In the hazard to school children.

Nyssa livestock man. has purchased one of Hawaii's most famous and valuable horse, “Tropic S k y '. a gray stud sired by Skymore and out of Aloha Oe. Stringer went to Honolulu to pity polo with the Boise team and durir g the matches rode three horses that were sired by Tropic Sky Stringer realized what it would mean to him to own the horse that sired polo ponies like the trio he used In the matches so he made arrangements to purchase Tropic Sky from Walter F. Dillingham, who shipped the horse to the United States on the Hawaiian Craft. Arthur Perkins, manager of the Hawaiian Polo and Racing club, said "We are losing a great horse and It will take a long time to replace Tropic 8 ky with all his great qual ities. wonderful temperament and blood line". Mr. Stringer would not comment on the price paid for the horse, but the animal is known to be valuable. Veteran horsemen believe several thousand dollars changed hands on the deal. They recall that some years ago Mr Dillingham refused offers as high as $35,000 for Sky- more. Skymore Is by Bomba, who twice won the Ascot cup. Taking Laborers On Farms Urged Jared Lewis of Nyssa, district manager of the Amalgamated Sugar company, and Horace Arment, man ager of the employment service in Ontario, Issued statements Wednes day suggesting that farmers take laborers from the Nyssa labor camp for field work as soon as possible. Lewis told the chamber of com merce at noon that "We are getting all of the labor we need. The men are coming in on a timely schedule. Approximately 600 of the 1200 work ers In Malheur county are Texas Mexicans, who usually stay in a given area all summer and are good people. The long dry spell has cre ated a situation In which the farm ers have to use water earlier than usual. We have had no measurable precipitation for 20 days. The cold weather has done no harm to the beets. So far as beets are concern ed we are In a good position. “I t would be helpful to the labor program if the farmers with farm housing would come In now and get their labor from the Nyssa camp and get them on the Job. They would have their own men and would get better service. This would give us room for additional men at the camp”. Arment pointed out that “If the laborers are not placed at work some of them may leave. If a farm er has need of labor In the near future and has housing he Should get the workers and hold them. He gets a better selection that way”.
