We stand by when the Alert goes, and when there is no alert we just pass the time listening to the wireless, some play cards, others read or lie down.

Fol lowing are excerpts of the letter: "You are wondering how we are all doing in your home city, Glasgow. Well, as a matter of fact, we had two nights of Blitz. It was consid ered bad judging by the death toll. The official figures given were 1500 killed and over 1000 severely wound ed. The first night was Thursday, March 13; nine hours of it that night and on Friday, seven hours. The moon was giving the enemy as sistance. A fter that period a great many here left the city for peace and safety. We went to Ayr for a while and I travelled night and morning to business in Glasgow, about 40 miles. The night we returned to Glasgow we had four hours of air raid w arn ings. It was raining too and it was strange that they should visit us in such weather. While we were away our own district was badly bombed. Two large bombs were dropped about 300 yards away, smashing all the windows in our vicinity, but our pro perty escaped. Like London, we can take it! “Your nephew Charlie is well, away up North. I would mention where he is but Mr. Censor might object. I t is famous for shawls and ponies. He is well and likes it but is desperate to get a crack at Hitler. In fact it is going to be a hard business for our boys but when we get the goods from the U. S.

Bean, 87, who served longer on Ore gon's highest tribunal than any oth er justice in the state’s history, died in a Salem hospital last Thursday evening after an illness of several months. Justice Bean, first elected to the court in 1910 and re-elected six times, underwent an operation December 26. He has been in the hospital since that time. He had been in failing health for about a yea r. Justice Bean was born in Bethel, Maine. November 13, 1853, where he attended public schools. He later a t tended Hebron and Gould academies. He came to eastern Oregon in 1881 and practiced law in Pendleton. He was appointed supreme court clerk in Pendleton in 1895 and also served as district attorney and county judge.

McKen zie, mayor of the City of Hermiston, do proclaim, Saturday, May 24, to be Poppy Day in the City of Hermiston, and urge all citizens to observe the day by wearing the memorial poppy of the American Legion and Ameri can Legion Auxiliary in honor of the men who died for America in the war of 1917 and 1918.” The custom of wearing poppies in memory of the World War dead sprang up spontaneously in many parts of the world soon after the close of the war, inspired by the poem, “In Flanders Fields”, by Col onel John McCrae. First wearing of the poppies in America took place in New York City two days before the signing of the Armistice. The poppy was adopted as the memorial flower of the American Legion in 1920, and similar action was taken at the American Legion Auxiliary’s first national convention in 1921.
