AT 10 N Necessary Action Must Be Taken. Hermiston is now in first class financial condi tion. It has no debts, and has a good sized treasury fund. Its budget provides for increased street im provements and general expenses all to be paid in cash. Its water system is new and paid for, and ad ditions will be made by Federal loan, to be paid out of service charges. Also a new sewerage system is being built, to be paid for from government loan funds, and repaid from service charges. No addi tional taxes will be levied for municipal betterments on property of any kind. Through increased values of city properties and new buildings, the tax basis will be greatly in creased. Two years ago many lots were owned by city or county, and these have been bought and re turned to the tax rolls. This has had a beneficial ef fect on other town lots in increased stability of val ue. Risks of invesment have been reduced, and se curity on a conservative basis, has been established. Any investor who builds homes or business proper ty, is safely assured of good returns. The city needs many homes, and is only being de layed in supplying them by priorities and shortages of materials. The demand is shown by scores of persons asking for homes for rent and others to buy. A number of sales have been made, but the supply of suitable residences for sale is very limited. Hermis ton is in a position to stage a reasonable boom if things could be cut loose, and the orders to go ahead with materials and labor could be given. The purse strings are ready to be loosened to supply the de mand if we can break the restrictions. There should be some way to get started as it has reached the MUST situation.

Teutsch, assistant director of exten sion at O. S. C. and head of the neighborhood leader project. The neighborhood leader plan is being sponsored nationally, with the same objective in all the states. If successfully set up and operated, it will provide a means through person al contact of getting out needed in formation from the state college through farm visits, home gatherings through county, community and neighborhood leaders to every farm and rural family in the state. The neighborhood leaders will work and in cooperation with all farm or ganizations in contacting the 10 to 20 families in each neighborhood unit. The first major information task to be handled on this "personal con tact net-work” is to acquaint every farm and rural family with the dan gers of inflation and how each can help in controlling this economic menace. History of the first World War shows that the agricutural in dustry was the worst sufferer from the wartime price boom which was followed by the severe agricultural collapse from which the industry is only just now recovering.
