It stirs our am bitions for achievements for a new year as we begin to shake off the lethargy of a long wintry season. One person will want to do this and another that, and another something else, and planning is never so strong and urgent in our human systems as when na ture lays out its programs for a year of development and growth. One big item before us is the victory garden, or a small tract of land for gardening, poultry, and a cow or pig. This is brought about by the increased cost of living, and rationing of more articles for the fami ly table. The more prudent are looking ahead to summer and supplies for the coming winter, in which a great deal of horse sense is being displayed. Dol lars from big wages are not edible and they may not buy what the Americans, in their usual way of living, like to have. It is none too early to begin to figure on months and maybe more months ahead. Then it is time for Hermiston to wake up for the approaching days. This town has plenty to do. There are trees to trim and more should be planted anywhere there is not a shade tree growing now. Lawns need fertilizers, and other improvements, and more should be seeded right away. We do not need to wait for cleanup day to clear away the debris and unsightly accumulations of the fall and winter. Nor should we wait for hot weather flies until we look af ter better sanitation. The inspector will be along one of these days to remind us of rules and regula tions. Sewer connections will be items for property owners to consider, and water mains need exten sions. Paint is still available and also brushes and elbow grease would improve a number of good hous es and many more new smaller houses and shacks. With scores of small details we could improve the appearance of the town to a remarkable degree. AU of these would mingle in the picture of the town when greenery arrives on the scene. A touch here and a touch there inspired by pride in your own premises and in the beauty of the town, would add up in volumes of good words, better living, pleasant er circumstances, and higher property values. It is well worth while. " WAY WS ECHO NEWS ITEMS By Mrs. II’. H. Crary and cocoa was served to Norman Lyle Brown.
