I know an old man near the end of the road who is
a healthful example of a sound way of life. Near the
end of the year, winter has no fears for him. His
wood is all cut in stove lengths and corded in a dry
shed. His vegetables are stored in neat bins in an
airy cellar, safe from frigid temperatures. His stack
of hay is under canvas and his farm implements are
covered. Thrift and toil at the end of past seasons
are evident at every spot on his small acreage. He
lives alone but is never lonesome because he always
finds something to do. His premises are tidy, his
house clean and modern with electrical appliances
and radio.
In summer he finds time to help his neighbors with
their crops, and many another day aids them with
other work. He believes in giving honest labor for
honest dollars, and is far removed from industrial
specialism by a handy hand for many jobs.
You may say that he belongs to the old way. Any
way there is no waste of time or materials, no dread
of shifting jobs, no fear of what may happen when
Hitler cracks up, no fear of debts, no vices of the
times, no wants crying for satisfaction beyond his
own efforts and his stored supplies. Not ambitious
beyond his own resources, he is not jealous or envi
ous of the so called better lot of others. Though not
in the service, he is giving yeoman service to his
country. Safer in war and peace would we be with
millions more like this old man near the end of the
road.
Hermiston has many reasons to be proud of the
high school band. Whether on parade in uniform of
half a hundred students, or before an audience with
as many pieces in perfect harmony, they create a
thrill in the hearts of local citizens. We want to com
pliment the students for their interest in music and
their diligence in its study under Mr. Humphreys,
who is quietly devoting himself daily to their train
ing. The master should be given much credit for his
untiring work. The community has supported the
band and should give more support when needed as
it is a big community asset. Let’s give them all a big
hand on all occasions.
Many organization republicans are out to stop
Willkie, but are finding their chief trouble in select
ing a man to stop him. Now comes a group of demo
crats out to stop Roosevelt, who have picked Senator
Bird to do the stopping. But Bird, like a lot of re
publicans, is not willing to take on herculean tasks.
A newspaper report says that Congress has heard
of rumors of something going on around the Pasco-
Kennewick-Richland-Handford-Prosser - Sunnyside
and Yakima, and all connecting hills, desert plains,
rivers, and that it should be investigated. Some down
easterners perhaps think there is something smelly
out in this great Northwest beside which flows the
power of the Columbia, and fear the competition.
They have factories on the Atlantic seaboard and in
land, and want to make some politics. And, too,
there might be some inquisitiveness closer to home
with only a range of mountains lying between.
