As spring is peeping around the corner it is a gen
tle reminder of a lot of things to do. 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. "

Dog owners of Echo have been
given until March 1 to purchase
licenses for their pets, and failure to
pay the dog tax by that date will
make the dogs liable to be taken up
in accordance with local ordinances.
This was decided by the council at
the last meeting when it developed
that few of the animals have been
licensed so far. The tax is $2 for a
male and $5 for a female dog.
