NUMBER 33 SEWING GROUP COMPLETES WORK Contributions towards the local Red Cross drive have continued to trickle in the past week bringing the total to $3160.00, or $160 more than double the quota of $1500.00, originally set for this community, according to Mrs. Roy Tiller, chairman. Several more solicitors are still to be heard from and will probably swell the total to about $3.300.00 mark before the end of the campaign Saturday night. Mrs. Tiller wishes to add the following solicitors to the list pub lished last week: Mrs. J. G. Wal ler, Mrs. Frank Hackler and Mrs. H. G. McCulley. The chairman again wishes to thank all those who work on the drive and also the many citizens who contributed so liberally. The Hermiston Red Cross sew ing unit, which meets each Tues day from 1:00 to 4:30 at the USO club, has been quite active this winter and is justly proud of the amount of finished work sent in to the county production chair man. According to the records of Mrs. Al Shaw, who is in charge of production here, this group has made, since February 1: 10 pair men's pajamas, 31 ditty bags, 20 sewing kits, 11 baby gowns, 25 pair booties, 6 baby quilts, 14 ar my and navy sweaters, and 3 navy helmets. These have been contri buted to the Red Cross. Also com pleted were 9 lap robes which have been sent to the McCaw hos pital in Walla Walla. In addition to having 60 bedside bags to make, this group will con centrate on making baby blankets and baby garments during the next few weeks, as the county unit has a quota of 50 baby layetts to fill as soon as possible. There is lots of work to be done, and the time anyone can give to Red Cross sewing is greatly appreciated. Those who do not find it possible to sew with the group on Tues day afternoons, are welcome to take work home to do in spare mo ments. Some of the finished articles made by the local group are on display in the Hermiston Drug Co. window this week. e GEORGE HARTLY NOW IN GERMANY Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Hartley re cently received a letter from their son, Pfc. George M. Hartley, stat ing that he is now “somewhere in Germany”. Although he is feel ing fine and is in the best of health he does admit that the whole ex cursion is not a pleasure trip. Although the censors will not let him tell very much, it is thought that he has been in the midst of trouble during the recent invasion which is taking allied troops into the "I heart of Germany. • —----- — IRRIGATION IS TOPIC OF WEEK ‘When will irrigation water again come down the ditches,” is the most asked question in this area at this time. The polite ans wer to this question is as soon as it becomes necessary. Due to the fact that the level in Cold Springs reservoir is somewhat behind schedule, more strict attention to the use of water will be necessary this year. Although the lower wa ter level is not thought to be ser ious, a somewhat stricter proced ure of water usage is being plan ned. The weather report for the week follows: Date Max. Min. March 21 ....... 61 42 March 22 .......... 39 60 March 23 .......... 58 48 March 24 57 23 Macrh 25 ....... 41 55 41 March 26 56 March 27 66 38 VICTORY SQUARE RESIDENTS PLAN Last Sunday night a group of residents of Victory Square met with the USO staff to discuss the use of the community building. It was determined to form a commit tee of management which consists of the following persons: Mrs. Ray Laird. Mrs. Norma Peterson, Mrs. Ione Case. C. E Foss and Art Red- fearn.
