WHERE SPEED IS PERFECT
This is just a suggestion to the President, the
OPM, to the board of army engineers or to other high
authorities that it would be good defense policy to
keep these 7500 good workers lined up for employ
ment, and not allow them to scatter to the four
winds. These men have been proved a strong organ
ization and have done the work loyally and without
labor difficulties. If there is any big job near they
should be transferred in body and another defense
project completed and made ready for the emergen
cies that are likely to arise.
We could also suggest that back in Washington
they speed up the Umatilla Dam, or some of the talk
ed about projects near here where these men are al
ready entrenched, or could soon be called back to
work. This includes the common labor, skilled work
men, engineers, contractors, and Federal officials
who have built the Umatilla Ordnance Depot ahead
of scheduled time. Has the Ignited States a like or
ganization?
ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THINGS
Hermiston is in the center of a defense area. There
is yet much to be done and the temporary slump in
the progress of its full development should be con
sidered only a reorganization of effort to complete
the plan as a whole. Madam Rumor is busy on Main
street, at the mess hall and in trailer camps, and
things are happening roundabout. Something defin
ite should be announced soon.
The government has acquired title to 125,000
acres in this base of operations, and surveyors have
set stakes on hill and plain and along the banks of
the Columbia. One would require the fingers of both
hands to count the projects that have been set out in
the limelight in this geographical center of the Pa
cific Northwest. While we are in the hands of the
Government, there is much that this community can
do to assist in the completion of a program that is
definitely outlined by location, the emergencies of
the times, the writings on the wall and the progress
already made.
