Pag« Eight NYSSA POLICE SEEK APPLICANTS To Continue Service Congressman Al Ullman urged the new National Railroad Passenger Corporation to con tinue rail passenger service to eastern Oregon. Ullman said this service was critical to cities and towns in eastern Oregon which are “at tempting to improve their ec onomic conditon and attract new business and industry to the area. This endeavor will cer WATCH TRADE-IN SALE Let Your Old Watch Make the Down Payment tainly be hindered by a lack of rail transportation for rapid, dependable service.” In a letter to the new chair man of the Rail PassengerCor- poration, David Kendall, Ullman noted that such cities as Nyssa, Ontario, Baker, La Grande and Pendleton now rely heavily on Union Pacific for rail passenger service. If the Railpax system as pro- posed by the Administration is instituted, Ullman said, all of eastern Oregon would be with out rail passenger service. Ull man urged Kendall to review the situation and “provide adequate rail passenger service to the area.” Nurses Aide Class To Start Choose From Our Regular Stock Watches of Ernest King, hospital admini strator, announced that applica tions are being accepted on a class for nurses aides.

By putting cropland into con servation uses, farmers will help prevent production of farm products beyond domestic use and export market needs while at the same time saving good cropland for future use when needed. So reports Blaine Gir vin, Chairman of the Malheur Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC)Committee. He also pointed out that the U.S. Department of Agricul ture has eliminated for 1971 the requirement that set-aside acres must have produced a crop for harvest within one of the three preceding years. This requirement was chan ged, he said, because many producers have already made their farming plans for 1971 and in some cases have pro ceeded with land preparation, including fertilization, basedon their familiarity with previous operation of farm programs. Nearly all producers have made credit arrangements, pur chases of machinery, and other financial obligations based on prior program regulartions re garding land set aside from production. Under these cir cumstances, enforcement of the new regulations for 1971 would have created an undue hardship on many U.S. producers. Girvin said that while the set- aside land need not have been in crop production during the last three years, it is required that the acreage have a pro duction potential equal to the average productivity of the farm. ASC county committees, he said, have the responsibi- lity for seeing that this re- ’1.99 PIECE GOODS LADIES' SIR )ES iiooc TABLE FULL OF MATERIAL! 5 SPECIAL VALUES TO >12.95 FOR SEW|NG ’3.9< 0 yPAIR 72x90 1/2 I / M CANNON BLANKET 45% O 45% POLYESTER - 55% RAYON BLUE fl bell SIZE 4 TO 12 VALUES TO $3.98 99‘ «O^AR PRICE MEN'S DRESS OXEORDS VALUES TO $14.95 OVER 50 PAIR TO PICK FROM ’3.29 MEN’S BIB OVERA LLS 99 BOYS' PANTS «(» so FANCY PRINTS ’4.99« CANNON WASH CLOTHS >9 3’1.00 8 JI.00 WE GIVE GOLD STRIKE STAMPS” WILSON BROS.
