Subscription Rates $2.00 One Year.................................. 1.00 Six Months .............................. Payable in Advance 2051 Office Telephone .... 2333 Residence Telephone Dirt Is Flying for Two New Schools The first dirt is being moved for a new school in Hermiston and also one at Ordnance. The Hermis ton building will have seven rooms at a cost of about $56,000.00 and the one at Ordnance will have four rooms at a cost of about $28,000.00. Both structures are in the Hermiston school district No. 14 and will be operated by the same board of directors. All this building is being done at the cost of the government, without any expense to the taxpayers of the district. It is with the utmost sincerity that we here wish to congratulate those in authority for these necessary extensions of the educational facilities in this de fense area. Though the war must be carried on at great expense, we must also carry on at home. No effort will be more rewarded than the development of our grow ing generation of boys and girls. Many college students have been interrupted in their work by the requirements of their country, but those of younger age may be allowed to continue their edu cation unbroken by the ravages of war. By such ex penditures as these good school buildings that our government will find itself rewarded in the years to come by better citizenship and more intelligent con trol of all our affairs. Many phases of the tragedies of war may be overcome. In this connection it is well to compare what our Uncle Sam is doing for his ne phews and nieces to what is happening to the unfort unate children of war torn Europe. j land Tuesday where she plans to meet Arlie Dabney, who has been in i several sisters.
