With this week’s issue of the Hermiston Herald we begin a new field of endeavor. Although we have been connected with newspaper work in some phase or other for the past four or five years, our ex perience has been mostly with sports and back shop work. No doubt in the next few months our mistakes and shortcomings will be numerous, but we hope that in time we will be able to fill to some extent the shoes of Pauline Stoop, your former co-editor. During the past two months much of our thoughts and conversations have been concerning Hermiston and surrounding territory. In practically each case where we have discussed our coming to Hermiston with someone who has lived or visited here we have been reminded of the friendly attitude and . neigh borly spirit of Hermiston people. Even during the few days we have been in Hermiston we have found this to be the case. We have come here with a two-fold purpose: first, to serve Hermiston and surrounding territory to the best of our ability; and secondly, to make a living for our family and ourselves. Our wish and desire is to merit the continued support of subscrib ers and patronizers of The Herald. Hello, Hermiston. • The excellent program presented last Friday night in the local high school gymnasium by the Pendleton male chorus brings to mind what can be accomplished by working together. Such an orga nization cannot be successful with a few hastily scheduled practices and a loosely constructed body. It means months of hard work and a spirit of unity that can only be accomplished when individual ideas and petty differences can be blended together with a main purpose in view. We take off our hats to such an organization and hope that this group continues to function as a unit for many years. Already we are looking forward to next year’s appearance in Hermiston. • Easter is a movable festival. It is always the first Sunday after full moon which happens upon or next after the twenty-first of March; and if the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday fol lowing. From all traditions, the egg has been associated with Easter from the beginning of its celebration. It is supposed to typify the revival of life out of death, or, in other words, the resurrection. T he dependable young fellow you leave at home will get real encouragement and a big thrill out of a frequent Long Dis tance call from you.

E. Dodd, director of the western division of the AAA, has assured state officials at Corvallis. The appropriation passed by the house the last week in March pro vides $500,000,000 for conservation payments in 1939, as authorized In the act. The additional $212,000,- 000 to be used in making parity pay ments on wheat and similar surplus crops in 1939 was definitely ap propriated last year, hence, the re cent action has no effect on the cur rent 'program, Dodd explains. Dodd, formerly chairman of the Oregon State AAA committee, and since January 1, assistant director of the western division, has recently been appointed director, replacing the late C. C. Conser, who died sud denly of a heart attack.
