Hesaidthat sprinklers should not be un attended, and should r.ot run all night. In the event that the fire siren sounds, all sprinklers should be turned off, and this will give the fire department maximum water tocombat fires should the fire be within the city limits.

Poppy Day as a memorial to American war dead and a tribute to disabled servicemen originated after the first World War. Soldiers returning from Europe in 1918 were familiar with the wild poppies which bloomed in the battlefields of France and Flanders. The American Legion Auxiliary says the first national Poppy Day in the United States was held in 1921. Poppy Day in Nyssa is Saturday, May 23. Poppies will be »old by volunteer girls and American Legion Auxiliary mem bers. Fred Koch, Nyssa City Ma nager, said that in the near fu ture sewer service rates must be increased to meet the addi tional cost in manpower and electricity that will be required when additions to the sewage treatment plant are completed. The city council recently appro ved raising the residential rate to $1.75 per month, with other rates to be raised accordingly. Koch said that the first sewer lines were constructed in the City of Nyssa in 1936, and at that time the rates were es tablished at $1.00 permonthfor residences without bath, and $1.25 per month for residences with bath. The rates have not been changed since that time, and presuming that all resi dences have baths, the rate of $1.25 per month has been main tained. Since then out costs have gone up substantially, Koch said, and in line with the concept ot stream pollution and control, and water conservation the City of Nyssa has been forced by the De partment of Environmental Qua lity, formerly the Department of Health, to make such addi tions and modifications to the present plant as to bring about complete treatment. The vo ters approved the bond issue earlier to build this improved facility, and the City Council has asked for bids for the con struction of this work to be opened June 9, 1970, Pictured above is some of the fabulous scenery to be seen in Leslie Gulch, now accessible by passenger car.
