Skill in Auto Driving
Is Result of Practice
N o w W e ’re a R e a l -
Consumer C ooperative!
In the United States, each year
sees nearly 1,000.000 brand new mo
torists take the wheel and begin the
process uf acquiring skill in driv
ing. Driving is one of the things
that can best be learned by doing.
To many it comes quite naturally;
to others it does not.
There is reason to believe that the
beginner who is of a mechanical
turn of mind has advantages over
the beginner who, lacking mechani
cal interest, is forced to learn his
driving technique entirely by rule.
This is because the mechanical-
minded driver understands the rea
sons for each move, comes to see,
subconsciously, the mechanical
processes set in motion by his hand
or foot, and thinks of his driving in
terms of what is happening under
the hood.
But anyone who will take the trou
ble to ground himself in certain fun
damentals about his car is likely to
develop into a safe and skillful op
erator, whether he happens to be
mechanical-minded or not.
With modern automobiles, the
driver’s control over his car is just
as complete in bad weather as at
any other time. But it frequently
requires greater skill to exercise
this control, and for this reason, the
new driver should be extra cautious
during the season when rain and
hazy weather complicate the task
of driving.
There is no better safety advics
than the rule that is now almost
axiomatic: Always drive in such a
manner that you can stop in the
clear space ahead. Many a motor
ist has thought he was obeying this
rule, only to find that the stopping
distance on wet pavement, or in
slippery leaves, was something quite
different from the stopping distance
on hard dry pavement.
The recent decision of your Board of Directors to place the store
on a strictly cash basis enables us to conform in every respect to
the best approved practice for cooperation.
A recently approved statement of principles by a committee ap
pointed by the International Cooperative Alliance has this to say
about cash:
•>“Vi CASH PAYMENT—an essential factor not only of the
financial stability and liquidity of cooperative , enterprise but also
of the power of capitalism to moralize trade and industry, liberate
the community of consumers from the thraldom of debt, and train
them in habits of economy.”
❖ (The sixth of seven great principles expounded by the commit
tee.)
Your management pledges anew their best effort to the further
building of a real cooperative, run always with the best interest of
the membership and customers in mind. We will try to merit and
will of course, covet your confidence and continued loyal support.
Remember your own stores gain is your gain.

Truth.” In Eccl. 7:29 we find, ‘‘God
hadth made men upright: but they
have sought out many inventions.”
We invite you to worship with us ac
cording to His word.

“The Gospel According to You,”
will be the theme of the service at

ing. What does the world see of

able to help today as he was in the
early days of the church but we have
not been willing channels through
which he could act. What are you
doing to make Hermiston more

A new type heating system now in
the process of development may
make possible comfortable winter
living in house temperatures rang
ing down to 50 degrees, according to
Dr. C. E. A. Winslow of Yale univer
sity.
Dr. Winslow terms the new sys
tem “the pleasantest and perhaps
the most economical form of winter
heating for residences.”
He explained that the new method
depends on rays which cause
warmth when they strike the hu
man body, thus differing from the
usual method which depends pri
marily on warming the air.
Most of the efficiency loss in cur
rent heating systems is derived
from the fact that a large percent
age of the heat energy produced
goes to warm the air rather than the
human body.
In the new system, the air tem
perature can be as low as 50 de
grees with perfect comfort to dwell
ers, because the heat that is gen
erated radiates directly to the hu
man body.
Speaking of "the air-cooled hu
man body,” Dr. Winslow empha
sized that the general objective of
air-conditioning “is to maintain •
desirable rate of heat loss from the
surface of the human body.
“What we desire,” he said, “is at
mospheric conditions which produce
an active sense of physical well
being such as is experienced on the
mountain top or sea beach."
Although not commercially avail
able as yet, three radiant heating
systems are now operating success
fully in and near New Haven ar.d the
British have made extensive use of
the method, he said.
Eskimo Reindeer Herders
Canada's Eskimos are making
good as reindeer herders, says the
department of mines and resources,
Ottawa. A roundup. shows that a
herd placed under native manage
ment in December, 1938, has in
creased about 350 fawns and now
totals approximately 1.200 head.
Since its transfer to the Anderson
river area, about 150 miles east of
the government reindeer station, ihe
native herd has been managed by
Eskimo herders, under the supervi
sion of the chief government herd
er. Establishment of this nct.ve
herd is another step in Canada's
plan to establish reindeer ranching
among the Eskimos as a means of
assisting the natives by providing a
staple supply of food and clothing.
The herd is reported to he in ex
cellent condition and the natives in
trusted with its management are
taking a keen interest in the enter
prise. Thus Canada’s experiment in
converting the Eskimos from hunt
ers to herders appears to be mak
ing favorable progress.
Water Supply Pollution
One source of wate supply pollu
tion in many homes with old fash
ioned and obsolete plumbing fixtures
is through back siphonage. a pr.
ess whereby possibly contaminated
water standing in fixtures may he
drawn back into the supply piping
by suction resulting from partial
vacuum or backflow in the supply
pipes. A menace to the heal'li of
every member of the family, back
siphonage is best prevented by re
placing unsafe fixtures, and exam
ination of the piping system to de
termine whether it ia properly de
signed. The American Medical as
sociation recently issued a warning
to state authorities, urging them
to be on the watch for sale of old-
fashioned fixtures, barred from
cities, on small villages sod rur.l
HERMISTON BAPTIST CHURCH
Grayden D. Loree, Pastor
“If my people, which are called by
my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn
from their wicked ways; then will I
hear from Heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chron. 7:14.
A pastor recently said, “I believe
that prayer will do more to protect
our country than will billions of dol
lars spent for armaments, and it is
the only power that will be able to
stop the God-denying, Chriat-hating,
Bible exterminating dictators. Let
us earnestly and mightily pray ”
Find your way to the house of
prayer this Sunday.
