The stage is set for the biggest
Armistice day celebration ever held

cations that Hermiston will be bles-
sed with a fine fall day, people from
as far west as Arlington and Condon
and as far east as Milton Freewater,

Splendid cooperation of the com
munity has made this great under

a program consisting of a parade,
community singing, an address, a
football game, a free barbecue, and
a dance.
The parade which begins at 12:30
will contain representations from
American Legion posts in this dist-
riet, local school children, civic and
religious organizations. Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, and several novelties.
The parade will be under the super

at the tennis court immediately fol
lowing the parade. At 1:00 o’clock
Don McLeod of Hood River, will ad-
dress the crowd in the principal

miston and Heppner will begin at
2:00 o’clock; a charge of 50 cents
will be made for the game, Immedia-
tely following the game everyone
will be invited to attend the free
barbecue at the grounds. Those in
charge, Henry Sommerer, H. A. Pan
kow, and Earl Bensel are now pre
paring the meat, while members of

Bureau Auxiliary are preparing the
remainder of the meal. Those in
charge of the barbecue wish to call
to the attention of everyone the fact
that the barbecue is absolutely free,
regardless of whether or not one had
previously attended the football
The qualified voters of Hermis
ton elected F. C. McKenzie to the
office of mayor at the election Tues
day. His opponent, O. O. Felthouse,
who entered the race at the eleventh
hour, received 71 votes, while Mr.
McKenzie received 223. Mr. Felt
house’s name was not on the ballot.
Chas. Taylor won the race for
city recorder by a small margin of
“two votes against R. C. Todd. Taylor
received 122 votes and Todd 129.
Mrs. Rena Waterman, third candi-
date for the office, received a vote
of 58.
The large vote of 264 was cast for
A. F. Rohrman for city treasurer.
Several names were written in on
the ballot. Walter Hamm did not
run for reelection due to the fact
that he has held the office four
years, which disqualifies him.
B. S. Kingsley was given a total
vote of 275 for city councilman, the
largest vote received by any candi
date. Other councilmen elected were:
B. Haneline, 250; H. E. Hitt, 268;
J. M. Norton, 274; Geo. Wagner,
267; and J. M. Pearson, 264.
A total of 303 ballots were cast
for the city election which is the
largest vote for such election known
for many years in the city. Interest
was created when O. O. Felthouse
put out literature announcing his
candidacy for city mayor. The race
might have been closer had his name
been on the ballot.
