25 years ago
DECEMBER 24, 1991
• Season passes for
Hermiston High School
athletics went on sale at
the high school office for
the 1991-92 school year for
$50 for single and $65 for
a family.
• Scott Lemon, owner of
Canned Food Grocery Out-
let, and his son enjoyed Lit-
tle League T-Ball so much
that Lemon decided to do a
fundraiser for the program.
He is donating two grocery
shopping sprees, a color
television and a BMX bicy-
cle as prizes. Tickets were
sold for $1 each. People
were able to buy a ticket
for a chance to win the priz-
es, but a stub on the ticket
is worth $1 in goods from
his store. The winner of this
fundraiser will be drawn
during halftime of the Blaz-
er Alumni game March 1.
• Hermiston is one step
closer to adding another
fire engine to its fleet, but
don’t expect to see a shiny
new truck racing through
town with siren blazing any
time soon. Officials from
the Hermiston Rural Fire
Protection District and city
fire department opened bids
for a new truck Dec. 24 at
City Hall.
• Pioneer Humane Soci-
ety has been newly revived.
A local non-profit organiza-
tion for the care of animals
was reformed. Membership
cost is $15 per family to
join.
• Smile your honor,
you’re on candid camera.
Hermiston Mayor Frank
Harkenrider and his eight
colleagues on the City
Council are joining the
technology age with the
televising of their meetings.
The viewing will not be
seen live. Live broadcasts
will be attempted at a later
date.

with yuletide decorations

spectively.

First prize of $25, Sherrell
Chevrolet; second prize of

• When Moore and Rip-
ley Drug had its fire sev-
eral weeks ago, a number
of employees wondered
what they would do until
the store was rebuilt. The
Christmas spirit prevailed
in Hermiston; several stores
— Hermiston Drug, Herm-
iston Variety-Burnham’s
and others — lent a hand,
giving employment to those
without.
• A race track for the
Hermiston area is being
developed by Charlie Kik
and business associates in
the Charlestown area, west
of the Hermiston-McNary
highway, north of the boat
shop. Kik started work on
leveling the track a week
earlier and is planning to
open the track in the spring
for racing of stock cars,
hard tops and hot-rods, as
well as other types of rac-
ing on the asphalt surface.
• Boy Scout Troop 654
held its annual Christmas
party at the First Christian
Church. Following their
gift exchange, Scoutmas-
ter George Bennett showed
slides from his recent trip
to Hawaii, where he par-

• A request to the tele-
phone-using public to “lend
us a hand” over the holi-
day season by not sending
greetings by long distance
telephone was made to-
day by R.V. McGee of the
Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Company. “Our lines
are carrying a tremendous
volume of calls in the last
few days the greatest num-
ber in history,” Mr. McGee
said pointing out that it was
necessary, of course, that in
all instances the lines will
readily be available for tele-
phone calls important to de-
fense since the U.S. entered
World War II “We want the
public to know that we are
meeting this emergency
with everything we have,”
he said, “and that we deeply
appreciate the public’s con-
siderate thoughtfulness.”
• The movies are now
at the Hermiston Auditori-
um. Two good shows each
week. Wednesday and Sat-
urday evenings.
• Frank Reeder, a guard
stationed at the butte north-
west of Hermiston, has
issued an order for all per-
sons to remain off the butte
until further notice. Due to
war activities, similar or-
ders are in effect in other
localities where water sys-
tems are located.
• Monday set an all-time
high in letter canceling at
the local post office, ac-

cording to Postmaster W.E.
Logan, when 7,200 letters
were sent through the ma-
chine. A total of 6,300 let-
ters were canceled Saturday
for what was thought to be
extremely high, but Mon-
day surpassed this figure. It
has been estimated that this
year’s holiday business,
incoming and outgoing, is
approximately three to four
times as much as in former
years. Mr. Logan’s office
force is working at top
speed in the cramped build-
ing to give the best service
possible.
• The Eager Beaters 4-H
Club met at the home of
Nancy Cave. After Nonda
Naff called the meeting to
order and Janet Langen-
walter led the pledges and
Jane Jackson had read the
minutes and called roll, our
junior leader, Ann Fowler
gave a quiz. She will give
another quiz over paste
cookery and frozen vege-
tables.

nana bread and punch were

• H.J. Stillings, breeder
of pure-bred Poland-Chi-
na hogs, this week sold
a boar to Henry Buholts,
who came from Pilot Rock
to purchase the animal, for
which he paid $40. The
mate to that hog was sold
last week and shipped to
Dayton, Wash., bringing
$50. Mr. Stillings says the
demand for pure-bred Po-

land China stock has been
the best he has ever wit-
nessed at this time of the
year.
• The new 1918 calen-
dars are arriving and are
being distributed to cus-
tomers by some of the busi-
ness houses in this city. The
most unique and useful so
far seen among them is now
bearing the name of the lo-
cal meat market and gro-
cery. Besides the calendar
part it has swinging hooks
on which to place and hang
spools of thread, scissors,
etc., and in the center of all
these contrivances sets a
pin cushion. These little ap-
pliances certainly make the
calendar useful for house-
hold use, and as a result
there is a rush for them by
the ladies.
• The town girls beat the
high school girls in the dou-
ble-header basketball game
and the high school boys
defeated the town boys.
• H.D. Newell, head
of the government recla-
mation service, has the
distinction of having pur-
chased the first war saving
certificate after they were
put on sale in this city, and
John Mack, son of the local
druggist, bought the initial
thrift stamp.
• The regular meeting
of the Hermiston volunteer
fire department was not
very well attended. This
apparent lack of interest
should not be progressive
in a town like Hermiston,
and an effort is to be made
to reverse this condition
and have representative
meetings hereafter.
