HELLO, HERMISTON!
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.

64, beloved pioneer pf Umatilla coun

Mrs. Thomson was born at Uma
tilla March 26, 1875, and was the
eldest daughter of the late Robert N.

was married to Asa B. Thomson In

Failure of the House of Repre
sentatives at Washington to pass all
of the proposed appropriations for
parity payments will have no effect
on wheat parity payments for 1939,
N. 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.

No other tractor is so simple and so
easy to service as the John Deere
Two-Cylinder General Purpose Trac
tor. From a standing position, you
can inspect and adjust all working
parts.
Brakes and clutch can be adjusted
In less than five minutes. Valves
and valve seats are located in the
cylinder head, where they are easy
to get at. Everything is simpler—eas
ier to understand in the John Deere.
That’s why the average owner of a
John Deere Tractor does 75 per cent
of his service work without any out
