Mexican Camps In Malheur Co.
Will be ClosetAction To Be Taken By Labor Branch Of Agri
culture Dept.OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, July 17— The Nyssa standard farm labor camp will be closed September 30 and mobile camps housing Mexican nationals In Malheur county will be closed August 1, the labor branch of the United States department of agriculture has announced. The Corvallis area office of the labor branch will be closed July 31.
This means that local organisations will have to take over opera tion of the camps to keep Mexican nationals far the sugar beet harvest this fall, according to Howard Preston, chief of operations for the labor branch in the northwest area. There are now 400 Lat- in-Americans in Malheur county 3.0 having been shipped out recently for return to Mexico.
The Nyssa camp was established In 1930 by the old resettlement administration, operated toy the farm security administration and ~ the war food administration and on conclusion of hostilities was transferred to the labor branch of the USDA.
Camps for domestic farm workers at Dayton and Salem, similar to the Nyssa camp, will also be closed September 30. Steps have been taken by growers, processors and chambers of commerce to take over the Salem camp.
Aso affected by the closure order will be the mobile camp at Athena, now housing 300 Mexicans; the camp at Milton, housing 100; and the camp at Medford, housing 60. The Milton and Athena camps will be closed when the Umatilla county pea harvest ends, while pear growers in the Medford area are expected to take over operation of the camp there until end of pear-¿eking season.
Still in operation are farm labor camps operated toy local groups in cooperation wi’ h the Oregon State extension emergency farm labor service. Such camps are located at Milton-Freewater and Hillsboro, and will be opened later at Coburg in Lane county. The Dalles camp is now in process of closing.
Closure of the labor branch’s camps forecasts end of use of foreign workers on American farms, started during the war, Preston said. During the peak year of 1944 there were 5200 Mexican nationals employed In Oregon, while large numbers of German prisoners of war worked during 1945 and 1946 in Oregon fields. Malheur county, because of its sugar beet acreage, has been principal user of Mexican labor in Oregon.
This year domestic farm labor has been in greater supply than in any year since before the war, J. R. Beck. Oregon state extension farm labor supervisor, pointed out.
SOME BUBBLE GUM CAUSING TROUBLE
The Malheur County Public Health association has received information from the state director of county health units. Dr. Gorgon C. Edwards, regarding the new hazard involved in the chewing of certain brands of bubble gum.
Health officers have found that in some types of bubble gum a resin, or stabilizer, derived from synthetic rubber has been employed. This material is stated to produce numerous toxic manifestations, including gingivitis, pharyngitis, nausea and vomiting. Numerous such cases have been reported from various sections of the United States, Dr. Gordon said. This toxic material apparently has been found in both the imported and domestic varieties of bubble gum.
