Later when the need was seen to be so great, Hermiston was asked to give without limit, and final re ports show that Umatilla county has given approximately *3,000 of which *154.92 was contributed by this community. The donations were handled by R. A. Brownson of Her miston, who is divisional chairman for the Red Cross. Of the above amount, *23.70 was given through the schools; *25 by the American Legion; *7 by the American Legion Auxiliary; *5 by the Ladies Aid of the Methodist church; and the largest individual contribution was »10. Mr. Brownson has expressed his appreciation to all those who have contributed so generously to a wor thy cause in this emergency. County School Superintendent A. Yeager made an official visit to the Hermiston schools last week which time he announced that the county music festival held in Pen dleton tor the past few years was growing out of all proportions with an attendance of 2000 participants last year. He suggested plan whereby the west end of Umatilla county might hold the festival in Hermiston. No details have been worked out, however, nor any definite decisions made. A definite announcement in the matter will be made in the near future. The death of Father Luke Shee han. pastor of the Catholic church at Bend, Ore., for the past 27 years, brings memories of his early service tn Hermiston when he pioneered the Catholic church about 1911.
