T he H ermiston H erald VOL. XII HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1917 FIELD MARSHAL SIR DOUGLAS HAIG PEOPLE GIVE FREELY TO RED CROSS WORKERS Probably in no place in the whole state of Oregon are the peapie more ready and willing to give to auxiliary agencies that are striving with might and main to aleviate suffering among our soldier boys, minister to their mental, physical and spiritual wants, and above all keep them in good cheer and urge them on to victory than the people residing in this government project. This has been shown in every drive for the cause of freedom that has been undertaken during the summer and fall months, and we are glad to be able to state that the Red Cross drives that took place all over the project this week have been no exception. NO. 14 WANT EAST END ROAD WORK BEGUN AT ONCE " TO DANCE OLD YEAR OUT AND NEW YEAR IN THE WAR SAVINGS PLAN IN NUTSHELL The annual library ball will be given by the Hermiston Library board at Marxen's hall on the evening of December 31, New Year’s eve, and the old year will be seen at its close and the new year welcomed in. This will be made a special occasion owing to the building of the new library on which construction is rapid ly progressing. There will be many little things needed about the new building which the board is anxious to supply. The reading room and rest room in particular will require things that the Carnegie fund does not pro vide for. The board is very desirous to present the new building to the pub lic in the early spring fully equipped, and In usefullness and attractiveness, and hopes for a large attendance at the annual event. A very enjoyable time is promised and everybody is welcome. The government’s war savings plan is a plan by which you can lend small savings to your government al four per cent interest, compounded quarterly. You lend to your government by the purchase of war savings certificates and thrift stamps. A war savings certificate costs 84.12, if purchased this month or next—the cost to advance one cent each succeed ing month during 1918. Ou January 1, 1923, the certificate will mature and the government will pay you 85 for it. A thrift stamp is a stamp coating 25 cents to be applied io payment for » war savings certificate. It does not earn interest, its purpose being to help purchasers to accumulate In 25 cent pieces, the amount necessary to pay for a war savings certificate. Though money with which to carry on the war to victory is the immediate consideration in the government’s war savings certificate and thrift stamp ap peal, real and lasting benefits to the nation are going to accrue bv virtue of the more general practice of national thrift which the campaign is expected to develop. The government hopes to make us a more thrifty people, not merely for the duration of the war, but for all the time. Uncle Sam feels that if be make us a nation of savers be will have made us a nation of serv- ers to all mankind. Some lime ago delegates went to Pendleton from this end of the county and called on the county court, at which time they put in a plea to that body to divert money enough from the road fund to begin the work of nutting in shape the stretch of the Columbia highway from Echo lo the Morrow county line so that it would be In readiness for the reception of macadam by the stale early next spring. They apparently received a promise that this would be done, and taking it in good faith returned to their various homes jubilant over the prospects of at last being on the verge of having their long cherished hopes of having a passable trunk road through this part of the county fulfilled. But they wail ed and waited for the commencement of this work until they could wait no longer, and in order to know the rea son why the county court had not lived up io its word eight businessmen went to Echo Wednesday night from here to a road meeting held in that city. Accompanying them was a dele gation from Umatilla, and at Stanfield were joined by another. At that meeting a set of resolutions were passed setting out the grievances in full and these io turn were sent to the county court with the information accompaning that al) the delegates Would be in Pendleton Friday to meet with that body. However, they did not have to go to Pendleton, for the county court tele- phoned that they would meet them half way—al Echo—an Friday, and yes terday the delegates and Ibe county court assembled in the historical neighboring town and done things that will rebound to the credit of the com missioners, and from which they will never hear an "echo" if they fulfil their promises to the delegations that they will place the highway In shape for macadamizing by the state.
