FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON s
The Saturday Evening Pout Writes About Us.
. 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.

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

poses will entitle housewives to a max-

tra quantity, application to local War

made anytime after March 23rd.

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
