THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1942. WE HAVE A Large Selection OF 60 Watches ELGINS — WALTHAMS — HAMILTONS BULOVAS — CENTRAL — IMPERIAL AND SOME GOOD SWISS MAKES • Use Our Lay-Away Plan A. W. Behrman Open Evenings ECHO NEWS ITEMS Echo school starts the third week of this term with a total registration of 179, an increase of 20 over the opening day registration. The posi tion of seventh and eighth grade teacher is still being filled by a sub stitute, although Mrs. Reese of Athe na has been regularly employed and is expected to take the position the first of next week. Five teachers have already been elected to this po sition, all of whom have entered the army or given up their contracts for various other reasons. Under the present setup, M. E. Larive, superintendent, is the only man on the faculty as compared with three men last year. All of the wom en teachers are married women. Transportation of pupils has been a problem this year, as the east side bus driver, Jack Teel, has entered the army, and the number of pupils on the Nolin route has increased so that the regular bus cannot carry all of them. Pupils east of Echo have been brought in by the parents the past two weeks but Kenneth Coppinger, a high school senior, is now operating a small bus and doubling back over part of the route each trip. The Nolin bus, which normally car ries 16 pupils, is also doubling back to the Lisle farm to accommodate the 29 children on that route. Most of the increase on the Nolin route is due to defense workers at the ord nance depot moving into farm houses along the Umatilla river south of Ec ho. A. E. Wattenburger returned Mon day from Pasco where Mrs. Watten burger has been under a doctor’s care for the past week. The first killing frost of the sea son hit Echo Friday morning when the temperature registered 32 above. Mrs. Bramson, sister of Mrs. M. E.
