They will be busy weeks and those who delay will find stocks soon depleted, and will contri bute to the rush of the last days. This is one year when all persons who intend to send presents by mail should be alert, not only in their own behalf, but with respect to those whom they wish to make happy, and with regard to the postal service which will be heavi ly burdened from now on until the last jammed days of the season. The government is making special effort to carry all presents and messages to the boys in the service, but with ten millions of them away from home, all such efforts may be defeated if the folks at home put off and put off the hour of mailing. We cannot urge too strongly that your Christmas for them is here, and that it is your patriotic and lovable duty to send your share of cheer and good will to those who are doing and dying for our Christian civilization. It is a short time until 1944, and the air and printed pages are full of political makings for the great cam paign of next year. Men and principles and methods are being discussed, and as soon as the new year breaks, the average citizen will have much to think about and much to say. The fourth term seems to be conceded, but who will be Roosevelt’s running mate, and the leading campaign slogans will occupy the minds of the Democratic party. The Republican par ty has the initial problem of selecting the right man for the head of their ticket. Wendell Willkie and Governor Brinker are already announced candidates and Thomas E. Dewey is in the background as a dark horse to stampede the convention. A new foreign policy and internationalism has set aside isolationism and is agreed on by both parties. This leaves domes tic problems as the main issues for the coming cam paign. These are many and they will mainly influ ence the markings of the ballots next November. Main Street is looking up. One new business build ing is nearing completion, and another is contemplat ed soon. Three or four more are being considered. Residential housing for Hermiston has been carried forward as far as materials and priorities would per mit, and more is needed, but expansion for business has been delayed. Some businesses need space for expansion, others need better locations, and a few new businesses would come in if space were possible. The postof fice in particular, needs much better quarters. The growth of the town is natural, and its demands must be met, and will be met, if priorities can be over- come, materials secured and costs of construction can be made reasonable. The money is ready to do the work and the necessity for reasonable expansion is here. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON $ $ AUCTION SALE Tues., Dec. 7 F. J. Hibbard, Owner Hermiston Transfer Co.
