Uses Of Christinas Seal Money
A total amount of $25,065.38 was
received by local turkey growers for
the second pool of birds to be shipped
from Hermiston December 6, through
the Idaho Turkey Growers associa
tion.
The shipment, composed of three
carloads, made up a part of a train
load sent out from different Eastern
Oregon points and bound for the east
ern coast where the birds will be
sold on consignment.
7182 birds
were delivered at' the ’ocal ware
house between the hours of 6:30 A.
M. and midnight of December 6.
Their total weight amounted to 85,-
946 pounds making an average of
11.96 pounds per bird. Approximate
ly 16.9 per cent of the total number
w'ere classed as number 2 birds.
Several caroads from other East
ern Oregon points were to be Included
In this trainload of eastern bound
turkeys. Redmond sent three car
loads, Pilot Rock one, and it was ex
pected that two or three would be
picked up at Baker, a similar num
ber at Vale, with a possibility of more
at some other point east.
Receiving of the birds was some
what hampered here by inadequate
warehousing facilities for such a large
shipment. A number of growers were
forced to wait in line with their cars
for hours because of lack of space.
It is the opinion of those interested
in these shipments that attempts
must be made to provide more room
for future shipments. They will prob
ably exceed those in the past in size.
The next pool to be sent from Her
miston will be shipped some time
near the middle of January.
FARM BUREAU AUXILIARY
HAS INTERESTING MEET
A meting of the Farm Bureau Aux
iliary was held at the club hou3e
December 7, when a number of in
teresting topics w’ere discussed.
A motion was carried sponsoring
the hot lunch movement for the un
ion high school at Hermiston and a
committee was appointed to meet with
members of the P. T. A. and other
organizations of the city interested
in the plan. A most favorable result
is hoped for.
The next meeting of the auxiliary
will be held December 21 at 2 P. M.
There is lots of room in the club
house. Let’s fill it up and line up for
the New Year. Let’s go!
Umatilla county has in 1928 re
ceived the benefit of $4,000 health
service through the cooperation of
the county court and county health
association; $2,200*is in the county
budget with which the salary of the
county nurse is paid., $400 of this
amount is for expenses. The remain
ing $1800 is contributed by the
county health association. A large
part of this amount is money from
the sale of Christmas seals.
This year more than 4000 examina
tions have been made among the
children of school and pre-school
age. More than 900 children are
having goiter prevention measures
administered in the schools in the
east end of the county as a result of
the goiter survey made by the County
Nurse and a practicing physician.
Many needed corrections for the
ears, eyes, nose, throat ana teeth have
been carea for by parents following
the nurses visits Into the schools.
Twenty-three of these corrections
have been financed by the health
association.
The Christmas Seal has been call
ed ‘‘America’s Great Yuletlde Gift
to Her Children. ”
Let us each do our part by being
responsible for at least $1.00 worth
of seals.
ICY ROAD CAUSES WRECK
ON HIGHWAY FRIDAY NIGHT
An icy highway caused the George
Story car driven by Mrs. Story to
leave the road ana slide into a ditch
justs south of town Friday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Story were returning
from Pendleton and had encountered
no ice at all until they were nearing
Hermiston. A quick application of
the brakes resulted In the car skid
ding off the highway and Into the
ditch. Some damage was done to
the car but neither occupant was
injured.
COMMERCIAL CLUB FLANS

club, Dr. J. L. Sears, president of the
local organization, planned the ap-
po intment of a committee to look

The two children, who had been

Funeral services were directed by
A. W. Prann, of Hermiston.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETEERS TO
PLAY TOWN TEAMS FRIDAY
Friday, December 14, will see the
opening of the basketball season for
both boys and girls teams of the
local high school when they clash
with the town teams in the audi
torium building.
Practice for both boys and girls
has been going on since the close of
the football season and the teams are
rounding into shape for the 1929
season.
An excellent turnout has charac
terized the practice for the boys
team and by the time that schedul
ed games with other schools come
around, the locals should make an
unusually good showing.
The double header Friday evening
will be open to the public at a
small admission fee of twenty-five
cents and all basketball fans are
promised a real pre-season treat.
