Shambaugh, Nyssa Labor Camp manager, Monday gave Lions club members the reason why there is tranquillity in the camp and so many disturbances on the down town streets, " There is just one rule in camp that applies to everybody alike—no fighting in camp. So, they come down town to do their fighting.” This does not mean, said Sham baugh who related to Lions some of the problems of managment and the transient laborer, that all is peace and harmony. Biggest camp prob lems, he said, are domestic and dis turbances caused by outsiders visit ing the camp. Even these problems, Shambaugh pointed out could be reduced to a minimum if the camp could provide recreational facilities. There is a crying need, he said, for play ground equipment so a recreation program could be carried on for the 150 children in the camp. Only form of camp recreation is the weekly Sunday evening Spanish movie. Another problem as pointed out by Shambaugh that has assumed major proportions is the lack of medical care for camp residents. Shambaugh was emphatic in say ing that a better class of workers could be attracted to this area if the city and its residents would give them more of an incentive to stay, and would make their living con ditions a little more desirable. As it is, he added, many o f this year’s group of workers, whom he considers as a class to be far sup erior to transients brought here in previous years, are planning to re main here. The majority o f them, according to Shambaugh, now spend “ more time in Oregon than they do in their native Texas”. They are here nine months out o f the year. The Labor Camp has been filled to cap acity since April 20, Shambaugh said, adding that they come here as family units and work in such units. Shambaugh took a crack at labor contractors, who have been some what of a menace in the free-labor market, he said. All workers sent out from the Nyssa Labor Camp are supplied on a free-labor basis, he said. There Is no discrimination shown either worker or hirer. To Buy or Sell, THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL.
