Chamber Brochure
Being Prepared
For Publication
Publication date is in sight for the
Nyssa Chamber o f Commerce bro
chure, it was announc'd at the W ed
nesday noon meeting >f the Cham
ber.
J, E Grasty, chairman of the
Chambers publicity Committee, made
the announcement. Stating that only
two sub-committee reports stand in
the way of an early publication of
the long-needed volume
The pending reports are those on
the industrial survey and seed and
agricultural products
W ith these reports'in hand. Grasty
indicated the brochure would go to
the printers within a couple of weeks.
Orland Mayer, director of indus
trial development for Idaho Power
Co., Boise, is compiling the brochure
of 22 or more pages: Measuring ap
proximately 10x12 inches in size, the
l front oover most likely will carry a
reproduction o f the Old Oregon
Trail centennial celebration Aug. 2.
In addition to industrial and agri-
| cultural surveys, the brochure will
have information on commercial en
terprises in the Nyssa trading area,
dairying and cattle breeding, schools,
hospitals, churches, game, irrigation
facilities and utilities such as rail
and truck transportation and elec
tric power.
Sharply declining market quota
tions slowed shipments of potatoes
from the Nyssa rail center during
the past week, but not sufficiently
to cut the gain in the number of
cars shipped during the same period
a year ago.
Tom Jones. Union Pacific fre ig h t;
agent, revealed that, as of Tuesday
night, 161 cars of spuds were shipped
from Nyssa during the past week j
as compared to 123 in 1951. This is
down from movements of the week
before, however, when 249 cars o f |
potatoes were waybilled from here.
The market started declining last
Saturday, after a steady advnce
from the first of the harvesting sea
son. The end of spud shipments has
not been reached, according to
Jones, who said growers, many of
whom have not started digging, are
holding their crops for a rising mar
ket. To date, 1,655 cars of spuds have
been shipped from here, a gain of
243 cars over 1951 for the same per
iod.
Onion harvesting is under way,
with six cars being shipped from this
area during the past week. Aug. 15
marked the first car shipment of
the crop that promises to be heavy
.in yield and high in quality.
Twenty-two cars of wheat left
Nyssa last week, bringing the total
shipment for the season to 124 cars.
This is a gain o f 39 cars over the "O P E R A T IO N CORN H A R V E S T”

Spud Shipping Hit
By Slow Market;
Onions Coming In
An 80-mile-an-hour dash from
Baker to Nyssa by Mr. and Mrs.
John A Kerby last .Thursday after
noon is credited with saving the life
o f their six-year-old daughter, Julia
Ann, only to have her succumb to
polio-encephalitis five days later at
Malheur Memorial hospital.
The child was reported by Dr. L.
A. Maulding, attending physician, to
be unconscious and with a stoppage
o f breathing when admitted to the
hospital. Immediate placement in a
respirator served to restore breath
ing 20 minutes later.
She was thought to be out of dan
ger and was in a semi-coma condi
tion up to an hour o f death on Mon
day Hers was the second death
from polio in the local hospital. The
other was a 29-year-old mother ol
Payette, who died a little more than
a week ago.
Dr. Maulding said the Kerby chile
died of the sleeping sickness type of
polio, or polio-encephalitis. Thh
type, he said, is an involvment of
the nervous system of the brain. It
is fatal in 75 to 90 percent of the
cases, he said, but if there is a re
recovery it usually Is complete and
without serious after-effects.
Only three patients, two girls and
a boy, all five years of age, are now
confined to the local hospital with
polio. Th ey were declared by Dr.
Maulding to be out of danger. One
other boy, 2t4 years old, is in the
hospital for observation, but no
diagnosis has been made of his con
dition.
Dr. Maulding warned that, al
though but few cases have been re
ported during the past week, the
polio epidemic state has not been
lifted. It requires six weeks without
reported cases before the area can
be declared out of the epidemic class,
he said.
