The campaigns of the candidates will be over and who will be the winners will be up to the marks made in the ballot booths. You, the voters, are the final high court of decis ion. The hearings will have been held and argu ments made with due respect to your ability to choose the best men—and unless you go to the polls all is naught. Every man or woman who has proper re spect to his rights and for the safety of government should not fail to take time off to cast his ballot. It is the duty of good citizenship, and the protection of our democracy for which we are fighting so hard to preserve. Many voters are too complacent of this duty. They too often leave voting to the other fellow and then complain at the results. The average American citi zen is intelligent and his judgment, if exercised en masse, is generally good. If he remains at his work or at home the crack pots get their innings, and nom inations and elections are made that disgrace our state and country—which give us real causes for complaint at the results of our political elections. You, my good citizen, may feel slightly resentful at this scolding, but many past elections have shown that maybe you have a reprimand coming. We, of our beloved America, are fighting the greatest war of all times and the great principle involved is whe ther we shall continue to control our own affairs. This control lies solely with the right to vote. When we fail to vote or take an interest in our elections, we are contributing to the downfall of our democracy, and the rise of dictatorship.

He has made a number of parachute jumps, mostly from 1000 to 1200 feet elevation, during his training and likes the thrill. The chutes open automatically " after a drop of about 80 feet and the studden stop is quite a jolt, but one becomes used to that, he says, and the descent from then on is at the rate of 22 feet a second. Landing on the ground is made easy by thorough training in keeping feet together and knees bent so the shock is minimized. In 800 jumps during training there were on ly three casualties, and these were an kle injuries. _ . cers of the Echo-Stanfield unit. Mrs. Bill Helmick, chairman, Mrs. Loren Kenison. vice chairman.

OREGON PAGE FOUR It has come to our attention that there are a number-of rumors circulating relative to our policy in accepting new accounts and the processing of laundry and dry cleaning, since the discontinuance of the Domestic Laundry of Pendleton. Aware of our obligation to the community we have been endeav oring to increase our capacity and our workmanship to the point where we might serve you to your entire satisfaction. This sudden decision on the part of the Domestic Laundry caught us unprepared to render our best service. However, we are now and in the future will operate our plant at the maximum capacity possible under the present' conditions. In this connection we wish to say that we are at present oper ating with less help than we had at the time we were called upon to take on this additional business and also that, al though we have added more space, we do not as yet have enough to give the service we would like. Therefore, until we are equipped, both as to space and help, to render proper service we will be unable for a few days at a time to accept bundle work. We will designate these days— on which we can accept laundry—by a sign in our window and an advertisement in this paper. This for the reason that our storage capacity is small and when it is exhausted we must wait until the laundry is processed to take new work. We hope you will bear with us in this period of readjustment and shortage of help and as soon as we can we will do our best to serve you to your satisfaction. | Hermiston Laundry and Dry Cleaners E+ -A--- —A - -----A--- - — . - 1 * * * -} ~ * : ; * * * - $ : - 1
