While we are looking for inducements to develop the
project and the Hermiston territory, do not forget that
Saturday, January 25, a new board will be elected for the
Umatilla Project Fair for 1930. This board will serve
without pay, giving its time and energy to the attention
of an enterprise which should receive the whole-hearted
support of every project farmer and citizen of Hermiston.
Whether such support will be forthcoming will be decided
later when the active cooperation of the community is
asked for. If past records mean anything, it is safe to
predict that this board will not be backed up with any
degree of enthusiasm.
The fair was carried on for several years by the busi
ness men of this city, assisted by the farmers. But the
show soon became a burden, and Hermiston business men
withdrew, more or less, their support. The past three
years the Umatilla Project Fair has been under the lead
ership of farmers, and the undertaking, although half
heartedly backed by the community, has proved a finan
cial success.
Reliable information that the business men of Pendle
ton are anxious to see this enterprise carried on and event
ually developed into a county fair, has been demonstratec
by the support coming from that city. W ith support from
them, and the interest and support of Hermiston, this can
be done. But without the backing of Hermistonians the
whole proposition might just as well be thrown over now.
It is a useless waste of time and energy to continue the
Fair under the present existing attitude of indifference
The meeting Saturday will offer the people of this com
munity an opoprtunity to decide whether or not they w a n ;
to continue the undertaking. If they express willingness
to back the fair and the men they elect to the board, then
the co-operation of all community interests, and a sub
merging of petty differences will make a fair that any
community might be proud of. This represents an oppor
tunity that can mean only loss to the community if it it
disregarded. It is not only a m atter of individual inter
est, but of co-operative interests of civic and other organ
izations.
If the people of Hermiston want the Umatilla Project
Fair to continue and prosper now is the time to start, and
pledge their support to the new fair board that will be
elected Saturday. We might add—when a mule is kick
ing he is never pulling. People are like mules in this res
pect.
