SUCCESSFUL TRACK MEET
E>
The large and enthusiastic gath
ering which assembled at the school
athletic grounds on Saturday after-
noon to witness the annual district
field meet proved the interest our
patrons feel in the work and play
time of their public schools. The
- Hermiston students showed their
appreciation by rolling up a final
score over the six schools represented
at the meet and winning in both the
grade and high school divisions.
Thirteen grade pupils and nine High
School pupils won places which en
titled them to represent Hermiston
schools at the Annual County Field
and Track meet which will be held
at Pendleton next Saturday After-
noon, May 7. The young people aie
anxious to see a large crowd of loy
al boosters go along and arrayed in
the new track suits which the Com
mercial Club is buying for them,
they will not only make a good ap
pearance but also expect to bring
home some medals. The purchase
of the new suits shows that our
business men are behind our schools
and tne neat and nifty appearance
of the participants will be a fine adv.
for Hermiston.
The score of the Meet Saturday by
schools is as follows:
Hermiston, points . ...................... 103
Echo, points ..................................... 31
Umatilla, points ............................ 24
Columbia, points 1.......................... 13
Stanfield, points ............................ 11

AMERICAN LEGION ENTERTAINS
FLYING SQUADRON
A special meeting was held last
Wednesday night in the Library by
the Hermiston Post of the American
Legion, and all members of the local
post and a good representation from
the Stanfield post attended.
The meeting was called to greet
the "Flying Squadron" which con

partment of Oregon; Frank Elvers,
representing the General Claim De-
peartmnt; C. Woods, representing
the War Risk Insurance, and Waldo

partment In the distribution of Vic
tory Medals and Buttons. They are
making a tour of the state in the in
terest of matters concerning ex-ser
vice men. They call themselves the
"Trouble Shooters," and the local
members of the Legion say they
found plenty here, as they had sev
eral claims to adjust.
E. J. Elvers gave the boys a won-
derful talk on the Oregon Bonus bill
which comes up at the June election,
and which the people of Oregon will
be required to vote on. All phases
and features of the bill were ex
plained, as was also the manner In
which to bonus could be secured.
The meeting was a decided success
and the local boys gained much in-
ormation.
