Cleanup day this spring will have more than the usual importance. A glance about in the bleakness after winter shows much to do in the town and coun try around. Gradually tent and trailer house are disappearing but in many cases the campers are leaving much litter behind. Along roadsides is a lot of rubbish that is displeasing to the eyes of per manent citizens. Papers, cardboard boxes, tin cans and trash have been spilled in many places, unavoid able perhaps under the circumstances, but the com munity as a whole has an interest in clearing streets, lots and roadsides of this debris. The city government and local organizations should lead the movement in town and it is possible that the county should look after the roadsides. At any event, everyone should become cleanup con scious. We can first look after our own backyards and then complain to our neighbors, and then to health, municipal and county authorities. Pride in our community surroundings may have to be sup ported by vigilance, work and even indignation, and this is the month to think of the job. we -a * Yy Mi ro sea 3 FAST, DEPENDABLE SERVICE BETWEEN Portland — Hermiston — Pendleton LaQrande and Baker BRICK BUILDING WEST OF CREAMERY I.

Eleven people called at the local real estate and newspaper office Tuesday for houses to rent. The average daily is five or six. These people are per manent employes at the ordnance depot and want more comfortable living quarters than tent houses, trailer houses or camps. It is estimated that at least 50 two or three-room apartments or three or four- room houses could be rented at reasonable prices. The only thing in sight now is the beginning of construction of five houses with assurance that the builders may build as many as 20 on the lots recent- ly purchased for additional homes. There is also some reconstruction of small court houses and a few apartments. Otherwise the growing demand for houses in the near future is not likely to be met and the increasing number of workers will have to be satisfied during the summer with conditions similar to those of last year. -00— INDEPENDENT BAPTIST MISSION E. M. Ayers, Pastor Sunday, 3:00 p. m., worship, with sermon by the pastor. The Independent Baptist Mission was organized at La Grande, Ore., and received into the Middle Oregon Baptist Association in 1941. The or ganization has been transferred to Hermiston where it continues to function as an old-fashioned Mission ary Baptist church. You are welcome to our services at our cabin two blocks east of the school. A 20 2. id Meli Tax Payment Date Change Explained The object of the new law as to payment of prop- erty taxes is to change the date for payment to No- vember instead of March when federal and state in come taxes are due. This requires the payment of 1941 taxes due under the old law in 1942, as usual, and a payment on 1942 taxes again in November. This may work a temporary hardship on some peo ple but in the end no greater amount of the sum to tal. Because of the great increase of income tax payers, the adjustment will piove advantageous to the general tax-paying public. THAT TESTS A SHIP!
