Wear A Buddy Poppy
In 1918, the servicemen returning from Europe brought
back memories of the battlefields in France. On Flanders
Field, the poppies grew along side the trenches, shell craters,
among the barbed wire and covered the graves of those who had
fallen on the battlefields.
The flowers soon took on a special significance for the
soldiers as a living symbol of their dead comrade’s sacrifice.
Nationwide
distribution of the Memorial poppies began in
1921.
Silk poppies made in France by the French widows
were among the first used. The Poppy is also the memorial
flower of the British Legion.
The first American poppies
were produced by veterans in the Minnesota Hospital. Now
poppies are made in more than 80 hospitals and 40 disabled
veterans workshops.
Wear your Poppy proudly on May 26.

MEN’S PRAYER
BREAKFAST
The first Men’s Prayer
Breakfast was held Monday
morning at 7 o’clock, at the
United Methodist Fellowship
Hall, with Cecil Evans and Ray
mond Sager providing the food
and their wives doing the cook
ing.
After prayer and breakfast
the questions of How? Where?
When? and Who? were discus
sed. It was decided that for
the time being, the Breakfasts
will be held the first working
day of each week at the United
Methodist Fellowship Hall at
7 a.m. Breakfast will be for
all men of the area who are
interested.
The cooking will be done
by the men with a new vo-
lunteer each week. A new leader
for prayer and lessons will be
chosen each week. This should
bring some new thoughts to us.
The next Breakfast will be
Tuesday, May 30 at 7 a.m.
Worship leader will be Don
Somers and head cook will be
Dale Adams. Let them know if
you are coming.
OUT OF THE PAST
Editor, the Journal:
We so often read of misdeeds
of our young people.
Last Thursday I attended
award day at our Nyssa High
School. It was thrilling to be
a part of their program con
ducted by the students for the
students. Hundreds of exube
rant,
exciting, clean young
people nearing the age of citi
zenship.
Then on Saturday I witnessed
a Nyssa High School Junior per
form a small deed, small to
him yet to me a most signi
ficant and honorable act.
Noticing two American flags
which had blown down on the
side walk, he hastily stopped
his car and took proper care
of these flags. His act honored
the symbol for which all Ame
rica stands for and ever hopes
to be.
This NHS Junior was Curt
Lords.
Yours truly, Joe Maughn
CARAVAN PROGRAM
ENDS FOR SEASON

The Pathfinders and Trail
blazers participated in a Cara

with displays, demonstrations,
talent contests, races, and other
activities that filled the day.
At the fair, awards marking
completion of the Caravan pro
gram were given three parti
cipants from Nyssa.. . Sherrie
Fitzsimmons, Sally Looney, and
Charles Pickett.
Don Wilson has been Senior

Also, last Sunday a Baby Day
emphasis honored parents and
the little children present with
colored pictures of the chil
dren being presented to the pa

poems in honor of the little
ones, and Mrs. Dan Martin
sang a prayer, “God Give Us
Christian Homes.”

Fire, which started shortly
before 10 o’clock Tuesday eve
ning, brought approximately
$150,000 damage in a 10,000
ton beet pulp warehouse at the
Nyssa Sugar Factory.
The blaze started in a pile
of 650,000 paper bags stored
in the north end of the ware-
house. Cause of the fire was
undetermined,
but Manager
Jared Lewis stated that it de
finitely was not due to electric
wiring.

Due to the quick thinking and
deft actions of his older bro
thers, Dar Jensen, 2, was res
cued from drowning in the canal
above his home Thursday morn
ing.
Stephen 5, and Ronald 3, and
Dar were w alking along the bank
of the canal when Dar fell in.
Stephen stood on some sod
down the canal a short distance
and fished him out as he came
by. They said he had been under
twice.
30 YEARS AGO
Because of the serious farm
labor situation in this section,
dozens of Nyssa residents trec-
ked into the beet fields Wednes
day and this morning to help
in the thinning of beets.
Business men, their em
ployes and others will continue
to work in the fields until the
work is accomplished or
greater outside numbers of
workers become available.

Snake hunters invaded the de
sert in the vicinity of Rock
ville, south of Nyssa Saturday
and their catch was 30 reptiles
of the rattling variety. There
was money in the hunt, a Seattle
zoo having assured payment of
$1 for each live snake.
Two hunters Francis Pickett
and Herbert Miller had no dif
ficulty in making the snake
round-up. They located a den
in a chalk hill about six miles
south east of Rockville near the
Poison Creek road. They caught
the snakes with a fish line noose.
They were plentiful hundreds
instead of dozens, which could
have been captured.
The snakes snared for the zoo
were big ones, carrying from
nine to 18 rattles. Larger ones
were about four feet long. The
hunters placed them in sacks.
50 YEARS AGO
A mass meeting was held at
the school house Wednesday
evening to hear the report of
ap-
the committee recently
pointed to consider plans for
community welfare. As a mass
meeting, it left considerable to
be desired as there were not
enough present to eat up all
the sandwiches, doughnuts and
coffee that Mr. Faust served
at the close of the meeting.
But what we lacked in quantity
was more than made up for in

How to
mistake a Realtor
for someone -
who isn’t.
It s simple, if you think that everyone
in real estate isa Realtor But it’s not the case
You see, a Realtor isn’t just anyone in
real estate He's the professional in real estate
who is pledged to a strict Code of Ethics as a
member of the local and state hoards and of
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards
You can recognize one by his use of the
term Realtor.” Or the Realtor seal, like the
one shown here
So when you're looking through these
classified pages, look first fora Realtor Some-
one who'll look after your best interests
