The Saturday Evening Post devotes its leading ar ticle April 1st to the destiny of the West coast, in cluding Alaska. It mentions Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Portland, Seattle and Pasco in succeeding par agraphs as the present centers of great activity, de scribing the new secret plant near Pasco as the larg est war factory in the west. It says, “The Pacific rim of these United States of California, Oregon and Washington has its nose high in the Western air. They sniff destiny. They detect the fruiting of all the century old ‘go west’ cries.” The article describes quite thoroughly the great resources of the West coast in minerals, timber, ag riculture, climate, and emphasizes its immense hy droelectric power. It outlines its opportunities for trade with the Orient and the South Pacific, and Australia, where our armed forces are placing the stars and stripes. China and Manchuria where great developments are expected to follow the war, will furnish a market for our factories, and while this trade must be developed on a much larger scale than we have been capable to deal with in the past, the possibilities are in the offing. Almost directly the Post writer places us in the center of this great progress because of the one-third of electric power in the United States—in the Colum bia—and the cheapness of that power. We, here in Hermiston, are located in the center of yet undevel oped immense mineral resources for manufacturing purposes, much timber is yet untouched, and the largest irrigation projects in the West are yet to be developed, and we are right by one of the greatest power projects. These are just a few of the high points that are reaching Eastern interest, where it is currently re ported that fifty manufacturing plants are planning to establish branches on the banks of the Columbia near power plants. The breezes of destiny that have long been strong in our nostrils have had their sour ces in the logic of events of progress westward, and the mountains, seas and streams of opportunity that surround us.

APRIL «, THE HERMISTON HERALD HERMISTON. OREGON. Spring vacation at Oregon State college coincided with Easter this year for the first time in many years. Registration for the spring term will be on Tuesday, April 11, following registration of the 120 remaining army students on Monday. Approximately 1800 students are expected for the spring term by col lege officials. For the winter term there were 1862 civilian students reg- istered, nearly 1500 of whom were women. Co-ed registration this year is up about 3 per cent compared with last year. SUGAR FOR HOME CANNING VALID THROUGH FEB. 28 Housewives who are planning to can early fruits and vegetables and make their year’s supply of jellies and jams, may now obtain their five pounds of sugar from their grocers for this purpose by using sugar stamp number 40 in War Ration Book No. 4. This stamp will be valid through Feb. 28, 1945. The estimated supply of sugar available for canning pur- poses will entitle housewives to a max- imum of 25 pounds per person. This includes the 5 pounds secured with stamp number 40. To secure this ex tra quantity, application to local War Price and Rationing Board may be made anytime after March 23rd. This year’s application is made on a new and simplified form and can be mailed to the Local War Price and Rationing Board. A single applica- j tion may be used for all members of a family living at the same address. The application must furnish the names of the persons from whom sugar is re quested, and the name ot the person making application. (usually the housewife); along with the estimated number of pounds (up to 20 pounds per person) needed for the canning of fruits and vegetables and for jams and jellies (in units of 5 pounds). In allotting this amount of sugar for home canning, in spite of the limi ted supply available for civilian use, | the Office of Price Administration I recognizes the importance of the pro- pro this duction of home canned foods in this country’s overall wartime food pro- pro- gram. Home canning of fruits and vege tables added an estimated three and a half million jars of foods to the to tal supply of processed foods avail- | able for civilians in 1943 along with j approximately 500,000 jars of pro- 1 serves of all kinds. This year, the need for producing large amounts of home canned foods is greater than ever.
