sirens give you a pain. The night is
settled by 8 p. m., with the balloons
ever so high. I am still doing fire
watching and A. R. P. duties, and
j as luck would have it our services
have not been required so far. The

house, as roof watchers. I shall be
on duty Saturday night from 10 p.
m. to Sunday at 10 a. m. 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.
Beds are furnished but you provide
your own food. We make tea or go
out and get a fish supper, if we wish.

SCOTLAND LETTER
TELLS OF WAR
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taylor were
recipients of an interesting letter this
week from relatives of Mr. Taylor
who reside in Glasgow, Scotland. 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. A. we will show H it
ler and give him a good dose of his
own poison.
“ All friends are well, and doing

Supreme Court Justice Henry J.
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.
Justice Bean served as circuit
judge for the sixth judicial district

MAYOR PROCLAIMS
1941 POPPY DAY
(Continued from Page One)
pies throughout the city on Saturday,
May 24,
“Now, therefore, I, F. C. 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.
