I PAO» EIGHT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1940. THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. * * THE CRYING NEED . . . of our times is an increased ability, on the part of the people, to make democratic processes work for the common good. The devel opment of our capacity for effective collective action is the main guarantee of our continued enjoyment of life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness. This working together for the gjod of all; this ability to subordi nate small individual selfish interests to active loyalty for a great cause representing the common good is one of man’s highest achieve ments. At the same time it is his greatest protection against pow erful minority interests which would first exploit and finally en slave. The cooperative movement is doing a great deal toward develop ing these abilities and capacities. Cooperation places brotherhood in business. A cooperative enterprise is successful in just the meas ure in which we are able to cooperate for the common good. If America can but learn to live together and work together, she need fear no dictator either from within or without. In union there is strength. B A NAN AS While they last.

Vera Doyle Chrysanthemums are a large gen us of annual and perennial herb. An herb means any plant which dies to the ground, as distinguished from shrubs and trees which have woody stems living from year to year. “Mums” are shrubby and woody at the base and are members of the composite family. They are grown chiefly for the showy flowers in late summer and fall. The plants are hardy and semi-hardy, strong scented and coarse. Colors range from deli cate pastel tints through shades to strong reds, only the blues and true purples are missing. Since we are in the flowering stage of chrysanthemums, we think it most fitting to omit spring and summer culture and learn the fall and winter care. Chrysanthemums are hardy and will keep blooming outdoors after other plants have been frosted. To keep your “mums” in bloom arrange screens of cloth which may be low ered over the plants when frost threatens and rolled up while the sun is warm. With this care it is possi ble to have chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving. For border and color in the garden budding is not required. For large blooms or specimen blooms it is necessary to disbud leaving only one bud to a stem. (More information on “mums” will be published next week) W. R. Dimm of Portland will show colored motion pictures of Pacific coast gardens and flower shows in Pendleton Friday, November 1, at 8 p. m. at the Vert Theatre. They will be shown under the auspices of the Pendleton Garden club. Mr. Dimm will show Daffodils of the Northwest; 1939 Golden Gate Exposition, San Francisco; Spring Garden Show, Oakland, Cal.; and Pa cific Coast Gardens. A small fee will be charged and Mrs. Donald Wair is ticket chairman. George Harkenrider and W. L. Latham of Hermiston are finding their pheasant hunting rather costly this year, figuring their fines in on the cost. They were nabbed by fed eral officers for hunting after the time limit and were assessed fines of $15.00 and court costs in the justice We will meet Friday, November 8, in the Legion hall at 2:30 p. m. For of peace court in Stanfield. further details see the front page of this issue. See Y o u r Seeing Specialist DR. STRAM GARDEN CLUB CHATS BENEFIT TEA TO BE HELD FR ID A Y A chrysanthemum show and silver I tea will be given on Friday afternoon by the Hermiston Garden club. The affair will be held in the Legion hall and proceeds will go to the Bundles for Britain organization. A good at tendance is expected. Mrs. W. E. Lo gan will talk on how to judge chrys anthemums. At the benefit bridge given for the same fund last Saturday by a group of local women, about $19.00 was raised. Mrs. Julius Gimbel pleased with a solo, accompanied by Miss Gol- da Mumma at the piano. Group sing ing was also enjoyed. While the group playing was small, a good part of the money was given by persons not attending, or by players who do nated many times the fee asked to play. Every dollar sent to Bundles for Britain goes toward the humani tarian cause, not for salaries or over head. The organization was started a few months ago in New York. Now there are 300 branches in 40 states. Oregon is right to the front with sev eral branches. And this is one way | women of today may occupy their spare time and money in helping to» help others.
