Christmas shopping is on in full blast and three
weeks to go. 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.
