| Mrs. Ray Rosencrans, who has been
a guest of her mother in Pasco for the
past week, returned home Tuesday.
The school board, at special meet
ing Saturday evening, engaged 81. R.
Holt, of st. Johns, Wash, as superin-
tendent of the Richland schools to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Prof. T. C. Mountain. It was neces-
sary for the school board to offer an
increase in salary due to the fact that
wages in all lines of work have in
creased. Miss Zelah Evans, for the
past year teacher in the fifth grade,
has resigned to accept a position in
the Kennewick schools. The levy of
additional tax so that the schools can
be successfully carried on for the bal
ance of the year, passed at the election
Saturday by good majority and so
there will be no need to worry about
the little folks missing a single day
of school.
The community service flag which
will carry a star for every Richland
boy who has answered the call to the
colors, will be presented to the Rich
land people on Friday evening at the
Methodist church. A very large at
tendance is expected as a musical pro-
gram has been prepared, while A. R.
Gardner, of Kennewick, has consented
to be present and give an address
along the lines of the speech which he
made in Fruitvale last week which
was so heartily enjoyed and appreciat-
ed by those who heard it. The Ladies'
Aid of the Methodist church is using
every effort to get together hundred
dollars to purchase liberty bond to
be applied on the church debt and this
will be the roundup of the drive. Pies
will be auctioned off to the highest
bidder at the conclusion of the pro-
gram and the proceeds will be applied
to the bond. Every patriotic citizen
of the community, regardless of church
affiliations, should attend the service
flag ceremonies, as this is not to be a
church affair at all-strictly a COM
munity matter and no one can afford
to miss it.,
The young ladies netted over $50
as a result of the Red Cross dance
last Friday evening. The orchestra
from Kennewick delighted the dancers
and spectators by their lively music
and larg, crowd was on the floor
from early until the last dance was
played. A lap luncheon was served
by members of the circle, which was
heartily enjoyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Paulman, of
Prosser, came down to attend the Red
Cross dance. Mrs. Pullman was for
merly Miss Elda Clements, Of Rich
land.
Ike Zimmerman is busy these days
breaking horses on the Clements ranch
on the river.
A large crowd of friends attended
the dance given in honor of the boys
who will leave Richland Thursday for
Camp Lewis. The affair was held in
Anon hall Wednesday evening and
served as a general expression of good
will from the entire community. Sgd
ney Relton, one of the best known men
in the valley, will leave with this con-
tingent, as will also Fred Culp.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cyril Relton and lit
tie daughter will leave shortly for
Vancouver to make their future home.
