Lower Meat Price» Effective June 21, meat prices at retail will be lowered from 3 cents to 7 cents a pound by order of the OPA. New prices for cured and processed pork will go into effect on July 5. Re ductions in price are smaller on cheaper cuts and larger on the more expensive. As in the case of the roll back of prices on butter, the lowering of meat prices will not directly affect the farm producer. Subsidies, which begin June 7, will be paid to anyone who slaughters 4,000 pounds of meat or more per month. Coffee By Mail Coffee drinkers who order their blends by mail may now “pay” for the purchase by enclosing detached ration stamps with the order rather than the entire ration book. OPA has an- nounced. Formerly, consumers were required to forward their war ration book to the retailer or wholesaler for removal of stamps. Inspection Requirements Changed Tire inspections for commercial motor vehicles now may be made every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever occurs first. ODT has an nounced. Previously, commercial ve hicles had to have tire inspections every 5.000 miles or every 60 days, whichever occured first. To Substitute Tires Farmers needing farm implement or front wheel tractor tires will be permitted to purchase suitable substi tutes when they are unable to find a dealer with tires designed express ly for their purpose, the OPA has an nounced. Dealers may also sell pas senger car owners tires and tubes of a slightly different size than is called for by the rationing certificate. Electricity To Farms Rural electrification loans to 26 systems in 18 states have been made to a total of $1,790,000 for immediate extension of service to more than 1,000 farms qualifying under present WPB regulations permitting connect ions to farms producing livestock, dairy and poultry products. Gas Coupons Changed A new “TT” gasoline coupon, which replaces the present “T” coupon will become valid for use on July 1. The old type of “T” coupon will be inval id on and after July 1, except in the northeastern shortage area where it will be used through July 25. OPA expects the change in design to help take up “slack” mileage and remove potential sources of black market gas oline. Country Shipper Reports “Country shippers” of dry beans, peas, and lentils must report their purchases, sales, and transfers for the month of May to the Washington office of the OPA before June 20. A “country shipper” is the first person who acquires dry beans, peas, or len- tils from a grower, or who imports them for the purpose of selling them to the wholesale trade. Wheat Loan Rate Commodity Credit loan rate for Oregon’s 1943 wheat crop will be $1.32 a bushel, No. 2 soft white. Port land basis. This is 11 cents higher than last year. Local rates for the entire state will be announced soon. Food Front Briefs The OWI reports that, on the aver age. consumers now pay $1.40 for food which cost $1 in the years 1935-39 . . . Pork production is now 16 per cent greater than 1942 . . . Stocks of ra tioned foods, plus production in sight, probably will be enough to maintain current consumption through the year. . . Farm prices for butter-fat should not be affected by the 10 per cent roll-back in retail butter prices. The difference is made up to cream eries by a subsidy. Fnrm Supplies Easier To Get Umatilla county farmers will find most types of farm supplies a great deal easier to buy as a result of a new program just put into operation by the War Production Board. the county USDA War Board reports. 4etmisto n Herald OFFICIAL UMATILLA COUNTY PAPER VOLUME XXXVI CITY AND SCHOOL BUDGETS REVEAL HEALTHY CONDITION Father's Day Sunday , The following item was sent by Harry Connor Jr. 4 , < ‘ to his father here a short time ago in remembrance ' , of Father’s Day—Sunday, June 20.

As is usual the man I there must always the man behind the gun.” In cases Charles Taylor was the oi author of the city budget and R. . Brownson and W. G. Kersberg penned the two school budgets. At a regular meeting of the ci budget committee and the city cou: cil on June 8, the city’s financi statement for the coming year wi discussed pro and con. The publis ed budget on Page Six was the resu with all taxpayers having an oppo tunity on July 9 to discuss the varioi items with the city council, which ac as the levying board for the City < Hermiston. Curtis Simons was elec ed chairman of the budget committe and C. J. Jackson, secretary. A few items of importance will t noted in the city budget for the ne year. The last state legislature mad it legal for a city to set aside in a "sinking fund” a certain sum < money during war time for post wa construction. Due to shortage of bot materials and labor, much needed c ty improvements must necessarily b curtailed. However, certain sums c money may be budgeted and place in a sinking fund for public work following the war when labor an materials will be more plentiful, I will be noted that a sum of $1,835.0 is now in this fund with some mor slated for this Item in the near fu ture, the total sum to be about $2,700 The new budget also allows fo more money for storage of the Hei miston Legion ambulance and othe fire fighting equipment.

The city has experienced th biggest building boom the past yea than has been seen here for man; moons. SHAAR CONTA FIRST COUSIN Some time ago Bill Shaar, proprie tor of the Hermiston Barber Shop was told by a customer that he knew a man by the name of “Shaar” ant thought that he was in the army. Mr Shaar made inquiry at the Red Cross Center in Pendleton at the first op portunity concerning a certain C. M Shaar. Last week Thursday Mr. Shaar re ceived a letter from the Red Cross stating: Camille M. Shaar, Captain (MC) U.S.N., U. S. Naval Hospital, Quarter C, Philadelphia, Pa. The de scription was so complete that Mr. Shaar placed a telephone call to Phil adelphia that evening and “sure enough” it was his cousin. Needless to say. the few minutes were profit ably spent in renewing acquaintance. I wish I had the power to write The thoughts wedged in my hear tonight, As I sit watching that small star . . . And wondering how and where you are. You know, Dad, it’s a funny thing How close a war can always bring A family who, for years with pride, Have kept emotions deep inside. _ , I’m sorry that when I was small You let reserve build up the wall. You told me real men never cried, And it was Mom who always dried My tears and smoothed the hurt away So that soon I went back to play. Now, suddenly you find your son A full grown man with childhood done. Tonight I’m far across the blue Waging war for men like you. Well, somehow pride and what is right Just do not seem to go tonight. I find my eyes won’t stay quite dry, I find that men do sometimes cry, And if we stood here, face to face, I’m ’fraid we’d find men do embrace. Dad, all sons are a funny lot, And if I’ve failed you in some spot ' It’s not because I loved you less ’Twas ’cause of your cussed manliness, 7 But if I had the power to write The thoughts wedged in my heart tonight The words would ring out loud and true, I’m proud, dear Dad, yes, proud of you.

SCHOOL MEETING TO BE MONDAY RY PLANS TRYOUTS LICENSES FOR DRIVERS VALID Hundreds of Oregon drivers, still apparently unaware of the fact that their 1941-1943 driver’s licenses need not be renewed for the following two- year period are sending applications and money to the state motor vehicle division every day, according to Sec retary of State Bob Farrell. “The 1943 session of the state leg islature amended the Oregon driver’s license law. extending for another two years the 1941-1943 licenses,“ Farrell explained. “Therefore, if you now have a permit which has the expira tion date June 30, 1943. you may con- tinue to drive on that permit for another two years. It will not be necessary to renew till June 30, 1945.” Money sent to the motor vehicle di vision for unnecessary renewals is refunded by the secretary of state. NUMBER 44 HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY.
