NAMES
APPEAR ON LIST.
Board Affects Economy in Salary
Cuts: Prospects Bright After
Tax Receipts are Received.
The teaching staff for the Her
miston Union High school and the
elementary grade school has been
completed by Superintendent R. H.
McAtee for the coming school year,
with all but three of the old per
sonal.
Contracts signed for the school
year beginning in September 1932
call for a twenty per cent cut for
all high school teachers and a flat
salary of $110 for all elementary
school teachers. This action was
taken by the board early this spring
to take effect this fall. The music
department was discontinued as
another economy measure. R. A.
Brownson, school clerk for the two
Hermiston school districts, recently
received the first half of the school
tax money for the districts and says
that the receipts compare favorably
with those of last year.
The teaching staff for Union High
School district No. 9 include Miss
Esther Sibert, commercial; Henry
N. Harger, social science and Span
ish; Wallace J. Cochran, science and
coach; Miss Jessie B. Brierley, math
ematics and Latin: and Miss Mar
garet Elliott, English and girls ath
letics.
The faculty for the lower grades
for district No. 14 include Miss Ra
chel Sloan, first grade; Miss Mary
Petrie, second grade; Miss Cather
ine McBain, third grade; Miss Mag-
dolene Buck, fourth grade; and Miss
Eva Bartsch, fifth grade. Upper
grade departmental teachers are:
Miss Ingrid Boling, sixth grade;
Clarence Henning, seventh grade;
and Millie Holm, eighth grade.

PLANS PREPARED FOR
POULTRYMEN IN BULLETINS.
Despite low egg prices, many Ore
gon poultrymen are taking advant
age of equally low lumber prices to
improve their poultry plants and
get them in shape for more efficient
production for the better times be
lieved certain to follow.
To meet the demand for approved
plans for poultry construction in
this state, the Oregon State college
extension service has just issued a
aeries of three bulletins prepared by
the poultry and agricultural engi
neering departments of the college
which contain descriptions, bill of
materials and detailed plans for
constructing range houses, brooder
houses and insulated egg rooms.
"Building Plans and Bill of Ma
terials for O.S.C. Portable Brooder
House" is the title of extension bul
letin No. 446 by A. G. Lunn, head of
the poultry department of the ex
periment station. The house de
scribed has been used successfully
on the college poultry farm. It is
built on runners so it may be moved
at least once for each lot of chicks
brooded.
"O.S.C. Range House” is the name
of the second of the series, extension
bulletins No. 442. This range house
has been in general use for several
years and has proved satisfactorily
as a means of rearing pullets to ma
turity under sanitary and fresh-air
conditions, says Professors Lunn
W. J. Gilmore who are the authors.
“How to Construct an Insulated
Egg Storage Room,” is the title of
the third bulletin, No. 445, by F. E.
Price and A. G. Lunn. Plans for
this type of building were developed
to meet the situation reported by
cooperative and private egg dealers
tu the effect that producers were los
ing larg sums every summer from
off grade eggs because of improper
farm storage after first class eggs
were produced by high quality
flocks. The plans given in this bul
letin will enable a farmer to build
a room that will insure excellent
storage for his eggs at a cost of ma
terials of $15 to $40, depending on
whether it is built as a separate
building or as a room In an exist
ing one.
These bulletins may be had free
from county agents or the college
direct.

UMATILLA CO-OP CREAMERY
INSTALLS NEW CRANO CHURN.
The Umatilla Co-operative Cream
ery had a new 1200 pound capacity
Crano churn Installed last Saturday
which will take care of 400 gallons
of cream at one churning. It is one
of the most modern churns manu
factured. The cream passes through
two sets of rollers twice during
every revolution which insures a
thorough and even churning. The
churn is ferfectly balanced and
takes less power for operation. All
cog wheels are boxed and run in oil.
At present the creamery is mak
ing two churnings a day, one with
first grade cream and the other with
third grade cream. The third grade
cream has previously been shipped
to Portland. - Production of the
creamery has more than doubled
since it started operation nearly a
year ago.
Refrigeration storage space was
recently enlarged by moving the bln
containing brine to the top of the
storage room. Other improvements
are being planned, including redeco
ration of the walls and ceiling on
the interior of the building.
The latest cream test made by
the state inspector averaged 35.87
and the state required test is an
average of 35.50.

SERVICE STATION GOING UP
ON WEST SIDE HIGHWAY.
W. G. Gifford, formerly of Stan
field, has started construction on a
service station on the west side
highway, directly across from the
Union Pacific depot, which he plans
to have ready for operation by the
first of July. The station will be
leased to John Grindstaff for one
year, who will live in the old OI-
decker building next to the auditor
ium.
John Heckman of Stanfield is
building the station which will be
16x26 with a two-way drive on eith
er side of a 550 gallon pressure
pump. The corner property was
purchased from W. G. and G. W.
Bailey and has an 80-foot front and
is 110 feet deep.

FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION PLANS
BRING REMINISCENCE
Kilts, a flaming red tarn o’ shan-
ter, a little Scotch terrier, and a de
lightful Scotch brogue are the chief
properties of Janet Gaynor for her
new role in “Delicious,” Fox melo
dy romance coming Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday at the Oasis thea
tre.
As a Scotch orphan lassie, Miss
Gaynor is first seen amid a gay and
colorful peasantry In the steerage
of a large ocean liner headed for
America. Her wistful charm and
bubbling sense of humor immediate
ly endear her to everyone, includ
ing a troupe of talented' Russian en
tertainers who adopt her as one of
their own.
Charles Farrell, co-star in the pic
ture, also becomes acquainted with
her on the boat, as does El Brendel,
who is seen as Farrell’s valet. The
romance which springs up between
Janet and Charlie on their first
meeting is the moaivating theme of
the picture. Their adventures, which
include a strange misunderstanding
between them and Janet’s threat of
a spite marriage, carry them ashore
where their troubles are augmented
by the persistence of Virginia Cher-
rill to win Charlie's affection, and of
Lawrence O’Sullivan, an immigra
tion officer, to arrest Janet for en
tering the country illegally.
Spontaneous gaity and much com
edy are woven through the picture
which is told with a background of
George Gershwin music. This in
cludes six musical numbers by the
famous composer, the words of
which were written by his talented
brother, Ira Gershwin. They are
“You Started It,” "Blah-Blah-Blah-
Blah With You,”
"Delishious,"
"Somebody From Somewhere,” "Ka-
tinkitschka," and “New York Rhap
sody.”
The last named composition is
symbolic of the spirit expressed In
the building of America,
ATED BY REPUBLICANS.

inated for the president of the

Just two weeks from Monday,
June 20, is the date of the big an
nual Fourth of July celebration
staged by the Umatilla Project Farm
Bureau and the Stanfield Grange. It
is a time looked forward to by many
people and Is a time that recalls
something of the memory of the old
Fourth of July celebrations with its
picnic lunches, fireworks, sports,
and greased poles.
•
One of the old time features that
has been eliminated by the commit
tee for this year is the use of ex
plosives on the grounds. This deci
sion was made in the interest and
safety of pleasure-seekers.
The Umatilla Project Farm Bu
reau has charge of all arrangements
for the celebration this year and the
committe has named New Madden
as a committee of one to handle the
program for that day. Events will
start at 10:30 a. m. in Columbia
park, 3 % miles northwest of Her
miston, where there is an abundance
of shade, water, and green grass.
An invitation is extended to .the
public to attend.
As is customary, each family will
bring a basket dinner. Coffee, cream
and sugar, and lemonade will be
dispensed on the grounds free of
charge. Ice cream will be for sale
by 4-H club members.
A committee to have charge of
parking arrangements has been ap-
pointed by the celebration commit
tee, and ample space will be avail
able.
A baseball game has been arrang
ed as a climax for the day, but con
testants have not been named.
The personelle of the committee
includes A. E. Bensel, C. M. Jack-
son, New Madden, Henry Sommerer,
C. L. Upham, and Henry Ott.
