Various details of the coming show were ironed out at the meeting Fri day with indications that the 1940 fair will bring out several new fea tures. BURNHAM'S SLATE HUGE FIRE SALE the name of President Roosevelt on the ballot for nomination. Taking advantage of the crowd’s uproarious enthusiasm, backers of the third term movement planned to rush through the preliminary details and draft President Roosevelt on a unan imous ballot. The movement seemed extremely popular. WALLULA DEFEATS HERMISTON TEAM The local Red Sox baseball team ran into stiff competition Sunday and failed to help the cause any by com- numerous errors in the field. The final count showed Wallula in the lead 15 to 2. Fred Rankin start ed on the mound for Hermiston but wildness and several costly errors caused him considerable worry in the first two innings. Merle Berry pitched for five innings, and was re sponsible for the only Hermiston runs when he connected with a mighty home run to score a runner ahead of him. No further games are listed on the Red Sox schedule to date but it is ex pected a few more tilts will be ar ranged. Junior Garden Meetings Pottponed Meetings of the Hermiston Junior Garden club and the Columbia club have been postponed until further notice due to advice received from health authorities.

BELT ENJOYING SCOUT EXCURSION NOTED DOCTOR TELLS OR MALADY Considerable anxiety has been felt locally following information from Pendleton that a nine-year-old girl had passed away from infantile par alysis and two other cases reported. This was followed by the closing of the Pendleton swimming pool and the banning of public gatherings at which children might participate. Rumors were prevalent in Hermis ton that several new cases had been reported here but these proved to be unfounded. Although little fear has been felt locally concerning the spread of the disease, several gatherings have been postponed as a precaution. The Plunkett Minstrel Show, which was scheduled to appear here Tues day night, called off its performance following a conference with health officers. Infantile paralysis still remains one of the largely unsolved diseases, and one of the latest public state ments on the matter appeared in the Health News, issued weekly by the New York state health department, over the signature of Paul B. Brooks, reported as an authority on the di sease. Written in language everyone can understand, it follows: “Speaking of infantile paralysis— you know, it’s one of the interesting things about communicable diseases the way a disease, sometimes, will take on what you might call catch ingness. Yes, I can remember well when, once in a great whHe, a young- ster’d come down with it and, of course, we wouldn’t recognize it ’til they developed a paralysis of an arm or leg or something. We didn’t know anything about the cause of it—did n’t have all this laboratory stuff to help us. Well—we didn’t think of it then as catching and, so fa r as we could see, nobody else got it. “Then, the next thing we knew it had lighted up and we began getting (Continued on Page Six) CLOUDY SKIES BRING RELIEF The past few days have been cloudy with some sort of change in weather expected, although to date threatening skies have failed to ma terialize. The warmest nights of the summer were recorded this week when a minimum of 73 was noted Friday night. Thursday, July 11, saw a maximum of 102.
