HANDY MAN

TIN OF POLICE DEPARTMENT.
On Daty Twenty-Four Hours n Day,
All the Year ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Vacation.

John Austin, patrol driver, thinks
that his labor about the city hall is
not fully appreciated by those in
authority TO bestow reward, and
threatens not to be a candidate for
reelection unless something is done
to relieve the driver of some of his
duties, or to give him a vacation,
like the policemen and firemen.
Eyes sir" he declared, II work
day and night and am on hand in all
emergencies. | am expected to be at
hand at the beck and call or any pa
trolman in the city, and | work "a
hours all around. some times do not
get enough sleep, and make more
runs in a day than the fire depart
ment does in week. | work inces-
sanity, and am not given vacation.
The patrolmen get off ten days out
of each year and stand only a ~
hour watch. The firemen who are ex-
pected to be on hand at all hours get
plenty of sleep and day on every
fourteen days. In addition, they get
regular annual vacation OF ten
days. and think the patrol driver
Is sighted"
II is a fact that Patrol Driver
John Austin is the handy man about
the hall. 1t Is "Austin this" and
Austin that" and Happy" as he
is familiarly known. by his ingenui-
ty does much to save the city money.
He dresses wounds on prisoners and
there is nothing, II seems. that ne
can not do. or will not try to do. The
patrolmen do not want to lose Hap
py" and will earnestly petition the
board to give the popular patrol dri-
yer an annual vacation.

To Fight Fruit Pests

Howard Evans, deputy fruit inspec-
tor for umatilla county, has just re-
turned from the meeting of the state
horticultural society at Salem, and
reports an excellent display of fruit
and great interest in the meeting. He
has found that n concerted movement
is now in progress all over the state
to suppress the fruit pests and he will
make every effort to rid Umatilla
county orchards OF all kinds of enc
mics to the fruit crop. Very few Sec
tions of the state are clear of pests,
but ;he portions that are clear are
keeping up vigorous campaign and
are being well paid for their pains in
the improved quality of their fruit.
