Hermiston has
had
her
annual
clean up day and such enthusiasm
and zestful labor as was displayed
in these parts has never heretofore
been seen. I t was remarkable the
interest everyone displayed through
out the day In the business of gett
ing the town in spick and span
shape. The w riter saw. by actual
count, three Implements out In sight
during the course of the day. Two
of these were on a truck Just pass
ing through town. A careful sur
vey taken last Wednesday evening
revealed practically the same amount
of trash In the streets, the same old
tobacco cans, the same weeds grow
ing In the same places the same old
shacks cluttering up the view, the
alleys with the same accumulation of
d irt and rubbish that were there all
last w inter.
Whoever was In charge of this
little community affair deserves all
the praise and credit that can be
given them. It was announced pre
viously that the date had been desig
nated by the local commercial asso
ciation, so to that organization evi
dently goes the credit for the very
remarkable manner in which
the
event was carried thrugh to a close.
If this Is a fair example of the or
ganisation ab ility and leadership of
that body then we doff our bonnets
to them In h u m .lj respect and ad
miration.
this long.
The weather man evidently had In
mind the fact that Hermiston was
to have a clean up day on the tw enty-
seventh of March, for he surely doled

erb weather. It must have bean a
disappointment to him when he saw
how u tterly wasted his efforts were
on the citizenry of the town. I t was
a disappointment to some of the real
of us, too, Mr. Weatherman. After
seeng the rubbish, d irt and Junk ac
cumulating in the streets, on vacant
lota, and around buildings for some
six or eight months past, we were
naturally looking forward with more
than ordinary anticipation to the day
when It would be cleaned up.
I f Hermiston ever decides to have
aonther clean up day, there are some
of us w ithin the confines of this fair
city that are going to swallow the
Idea w ith a little salt, and not a sin
gle grain either, but a substantial
amount of it.
