PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 194«. THE HERMISTON HERALD HERMISTON. OREGON TOWNSEND CLUB NEWS C O O P E R A T IO N By Mr». Joe Udey An interesting meeting was held at the Legion hall Friday, Septem ber, when a calf was sold to Wm. Struthers, proceeds of which go to the club. A flash from Washington, D. C.— A report in the cloak room in Con gress is that once the draft bill is out of the way, an organized effort may be made to bring out the Town send bill for a vote without hearings. In other words, members will be called on to say whether they are for it or against it. Remember, a vote on the Townsend bill is possible this session. The regularly scheduled meeting on tl^e 27th of September will be held next Saturday, the 21st., so as not to conflict with the fair days. The dance dated for September 28 has been postponed to October 5, on ac count of the fair dance. The Town send club is willing to cooperate with other organizations. I The secretary again asks those | who have not received their member ship cards to call for them. The Townsend club will sponsor a Townsend convention movie during one of the fair days. Watch for the date. Have you ever thought how valuable is this thing we call cooper ation? No human organization can function effectively without it. Every employer demands it from every employee. A member of the Umatilla County Fair Board says, “If we can just get the cooperation of all those who should be interested in it, the success of the Fair will be assured!” Cooperative organizations are not immune from this universal need for cooperation. What a misnomer it would be to say we have a cooperative organization but the members will not cooperate. Let us all practice this magic quality which is so essential to success.

E. Logan. The purpose of the cam paign is to encourage all rural route patrons to make an extra effort to see that their boxes are neat and in good serviceable condition. One week each year is designated for such purpose by the Postal De partment. Unsightly boxes detract from the scenic beauty along the highways and attractive homes. Im properly erected boxes and those in poor condition fail to protect the mail from the elements. The local postal department recommends that names be painted on all boxes and that box flags are in working condition so as to expedite the delivery of the mail. IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS By Mrs. W. C.
