The fellow who says that the
people in Nyssa are not public
spirited can scare up an argu
ment with P.M. Warren. Mr.
Warren started out to raise
money for a city park and
secured pledges amounting to
$1500 in a couple of hours.
That Nyssa needs a park is
not open to argument. In fact
it is about the only town in
the West without one or more.
Get behind the spirit and boost
for a city park.
Don Moss and Marv Jef
feries, operators of the local
Firestone Store, expect to be
operating their business some
time this fall in a new building
to be erected at Fifth and Main.
30 YEARS AGO
Momentos of local historical
value were found in the corner
stone of the Methodist Church
that was destroyed by fire Sa
turday. Two copies of the Idaho
Statesman, dated February20-
22, 1909. The issues carry the
story of the laying of the corner
stone. Other items of interest
were the coming election in
■which former President Taft
was a nominee and Oregon State
Senate favored ownership of the
railroad within the state. Also
a copy of the NYSSA SUN, a
fore runner of the NYSSA GATE
CITY JOURNAL. It was pub
lished at that time by Tom
Shaughnessy and also carried
a story of the laying of the
p corner stone.

A well drill pulled in Mon
day and is now drilling a well
for Frank Parker. Frank has
always had to be one of the
first ones to have to start

kind
watching to see what
of water he will get.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Boydell re
turned the first of the week from
their old home in Eastern
Canada, after several weeks
absence, during which time they
visited the principal cities in
Eastern Canada. They returned
by way of Canadian Pacific to
Vancouver B.C., and through
Seattle, Wash. The train that
immediately preceded them on
the Canadian Pacific was held
up by robbers. Fearing their
train would also be held up, they
hid their money in a safe place,
however they were not molested.
Work Smarter - Not Harder
Polyester double knits, hardly
a factor in home sewing only
two years ago, have had a
meteoric rise in popularity.
But fashion-conscious seam
stresses often are puzzled by
conflicting instructions on how
to sew with these new fabrics.
Most frequent questions con
cern the kind of thread to use,
and whether special kinds of
stitching are required for
smooth, strong seams.

Last Tuesday morning the
city was surprised with a fire.
The building occupied by J.J.
Scott and Al Green was razed
to the ground very suddenly.
The real cause unkown but it
is surmised the fire started
