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.

seminate within their neighborhoods
all facts available that bear on the
many current and prospective emer

matters,
explains W. L.
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.

Although the 72,000 farm families
in Oregon are gearing their activi-
ties to the war effort, latest authen-
tic information on many emergency
matters is not at once available to
them.
Extension specialists and
county agents find that transporta
tion difficulties and labor shortage
are combining to make meetings less
effective. Newspapers and radio are
helping greatly to keep contact with
individual growers but cannot do the
task alone. So to make sure that
