GOODBYE, COME AGAIN
Day by day we now expect to witness the depart
ing caravan, going as quietly as, one by one, they
rolled in months ago As a community we have liked
their stay and hope they will come again soon. One
of the special writers stated last summer that there
were grapes of wrath with plenty of grapes. We deny
that there were any grapes of wrath type here, but we
hope that the workers, clean, honest and industrious,
are taking away with them plenty of grapes for their
summer and fall work. As a community of 800 we
have done our best to help take care of 20,000 vis
itors and wherein we have failed was not through
good heartedness and willingness to do, but lack of
sheer strength and financial ability to cooperate to
the highest degree. To those who stay we continue
our welcome and to those who go we say goodbye,
with a cordial welcome to return, or drop in any time
where the latch string still hangs out.
NOW READY TO FIRE
The leaves are dropping slowly this fall . . . the
branches hold their shade and protection and late
coloring for the new seasonal inhabitants beneath.
Nor have there been any eddying gusts that foretold
cold. From March to November the weather has con
tributed its share to defense work. The last yard of
concrete has been poured on the 1000th igloo, and
the drag lines and other equipment are spreading
sand and gravel protection rapidly behind. Fortun
ate circumstances have surrounded the great pro
ject, and capable management and skill and organ-
iztion have portrayed a lesson to the nation. If de
fense work throughout the country had progressed
as well as that of the Umatilla Ordnance Depot, these
United States would be ready to take on any defi
ance to our democratic government that the axis
powers may declare. We pray that our shores will
not be attacked, but we are ready to keep our powder
dry. and. while the whites of the enemy’s eyes may
be just over the hill, our part of the job is ready for
the order to fire.

Farmers la this State and elsewhere In America are beginning to
make plans for producing more "defense foods” in 1942. Among the
highly-nutritious foods needed in greater quantity are milk, cheese,
eggs, meats, and vegetables. Good market prices for the year are
assured. Every farmer ia the aation will be visited this fall by an
AAA farm program committeeman who will assist in planning the
increases.
