FARM TOUR IS SCHEDULED HERE NUMBER 43 NEW DIRECTORS TO BE NAMED Legal announcements of annual school meetings in Hermiston will be printed during the next few weeks. In District 14, two new directors will be elected, one for a four year term and one director for a five year term. In the high school district (No. 9) one director for a five year term will be named. Due to the fact that both districts are first class, it will be necessary to have names appear on the ballots. This is done by petition, requiring 10 signatures of freeholders in the re quired districts. The two elections will be held in the respective buildings during the same hours, from 2:00 p. m. to 7:00 p. m. on June 26. CARPENTERS TO 1 NAME OFFICERS Hermiston Carpenters Local 933 name its new officers next Tuesday, June 13, at a regular election. Due to the fact that many of the members are in the armed forces or out-of- town, much of the voting will be by absentee ballot. For this reason no write-in candidates or new names will appear other than those recently placed on the ballot by a nominating group. On the ballot will appear the fol lowing names: Lee Elwood and Harry Kelly, president: Howard Bousquet, vice president: Lane Black and Jack Rawson, recording secretary: Roy White, financial secretary and busi ness agent: Andy Baldwin, treasurer; Walt Mead, conductor; James Waller, warden: Emmett Cooney for term of three years for trustee. Fire Department Answers Call The Hermiston Fire department was called out Wednesday night when electric wires across the street from the Cooperative Creamery to the skat ing rink became red hot and began to smoke. According to Ramon Beatty, manager of the Pacific Power & Light Co. office here, the wind had whipped the wires together until the insulation had worn off, causing a contact. No serious damage resulted. 9
