J1 00 JUDGING A COMMUNITY’S WORTH The uestion of whether a newspaper forms orreflects ublic opinion has long been a point of controversy. The [erald hesitates to attempt a partial settlement of the ar gument with either a positive or negative statement, but we do contend that a newspaper acts more or less as a re flector, mirror if you please, of the community in which it is published. In other words we believe that the pro gressiveness and prosperity of the community may be fairly well judged by the paper published there.* Such barometric qualities are not necessarily confined to the contents or appearance of the paper itself, but extend to the outward appearance of the place in which it is hous ed. Acting partially on this supposition, the Herald moved recently to new quarters where improvements have been made for a more up-to-date newspaper plant, easily ac cessible to the public. This represents in part the faith of this newspaper in the community that supports it. Not illogical is the supposition that all commercial in terests may be taken as fairly representative of the gen eral condition of the community. Outward appearances form a basis for first opinions, and a community whose business interests are housed in well-kept buildings is bound to make a favorable and lasting impression upon newcomers ahd prospective settlers. Those inspecting a town for the first time must have something tangible up on which to base their judgment and that something not infrequently is the general apearance of the commercial district. Does this mean that we are advocating new buildings for Hermiston’s business houses? Not neces sarily. Even a little paint and a thorough cleaning will work wonders with the oldest of buildings. We offer these suggestions as containing all the elements of prac ticability. The Herald had such faith in the idea as to move to new quarters where these suggesstions could be carried out more fully. So far, the idea has conclusively proved its advantages and merits to our satisfaction. Because we are working for anything that will mean the betterment of this commuinty, we are glad to welcome Hermiston’s new bakery,representing as it does a step forward in this direction. All commercial and profess ional interests of the town have joined in a printed wel come on another page of this paper. This evidence of enthusiastic support is gratifying to everyone having the best interests of Hermiston at heart. The manager of the bakery had faith enough in this community to in vest in a splendidly equipped shop. Our share in the new enterprise will be represented by our patronage and good will. The support forthcoming from us will decide to a large extent the ultimate success of this new7 undertak ing. Why not make that support 100 per cent.
