City Council Discusses Poor Radio

Be Tested. *
In an effort to find out the causes
of radio static and poor reception
prevalent in Hermiston, the city coun­
c il at Its last meeting appointed H.
E. Hitt chairman of a committee to
investigate the radio problems and
to Study possible solutions. There Is
no city ordinance now compelling
people to have motors or machines
fixed so they will not Interfere with
radio reception, but such a step may
be contemplated, according to Mr.
Hitt.
Co-operation of the people In Her­
miston in this undertaking Is asked
by r- Hitt, particularly In the matter
o f adjusting motors.
Motors to be Tested
A b soon as the acific Light and
Power Company can spare the men, it
has promised to loan a detector to the
Hermiston Light ana Power company
to go over its lines. The Hermiston
Light and Power company has prom­
ised full co-operation in the matter. .
It w ill be possibe at that time for
all motors around the city to be test­
ed In order to find out if they iner-
fere in any way with radio..
Sparks Cause Truble
The cause of radio disturbs
may be slight. A spark from Si
engine as it is turned off or on may
cause trouble for a minute or two.

Some one has said, ‘‘Christ came to

church and get your share of hia
legacy.”
The churches of this community are

they find it exce?dingly dlffi-ult to
do a good Job without you and your
help. We do not mean your money,
aa bad as we ned that, but we need
you, you in person at Sunday school
and then at the Sabbath service.
We guarantee to offer you some­
thing constructive at every service,
and we will be able to do that bet­
ter If you will come and help us with
