SCHOOL OFFICIALS
STUDY PAY DRAFT
Think Teacher Unions Aim
at Increase in Men,
bership.

An analytical study of the new
teachers salary schedule. drafted by
the Legislative committee of the high
school, grade school and principals
unions. was begun today by school
authorities.
Although declining to comment on
the new schedule, because of its con-
troversial aspect, officials indicated
that behind il they scent "a movement
designed TO increase the membership
rolls of the three organizations re-
of the authorities is based on the fol-
lowing observations:
Reasons for Belief.
/. That the recommendations Of
the unions are premature because the
board of education has not yet under
taken the preparation of the salary
Legislation it plans to submit to Con-
gress at the forthcoming session.
. That some of the features pro-
posed in the unions schedule were
in the original Capper bill and un-
doubtedly would be incorporated in
the boards new salary program.
statement of the unions that their
salary schedule represents the views
of the teachers is hardly correct.
There are approximately $500
teachers in the school system. 1t was
explained. while only a small per-
centage. or about 400, are affiliated
with the unions.
Ask Higher Pay.
The officials noted particularly in
their examination of the new sched-
ule that the salaries proposed are
considerably higher than at present
and even greater than those pro-
vided in the Capper bill, which failed
of passage I'm the last Congress. 1t
is up to the school board, 1t was said,
to determine whether 1t can expect
Congress to grant the salaries pro-
vided in the new scale.
The minimum salary for class l,
group A, in the unions recommended
tions, it was cited, is 500 greater
than provided i'm the Capper bill.
while the maximum is $500 higher.
For group B. of this class the min
imum is $500 greater than we rec
commended in the Capper bill. while
the maximum is $500 higher.
VIII Make Studies.
For class ., group A.. the minimum
is 5000 greater than provided by the
Capper bill. while the maximum is
$400 larger. For group of this
class the minimum is s400 greater
than provided in the Capper bill,
while the maximum is $100 greater.
In their study of the recommended
tions, the officials will make a COM
parison of the salaries proposed by
the unions and those paid in other
cities of corresponding size and pop
ulation. -- -. . .

LEGION MASQUERADE BALL
AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

Varied and colorful were the cos
tunes worn by the dancers at the
masquerade ball given by the Le-
gion boys at the high school audi
torium in White Bluffs Wednesday
night. The crowd of dancers, aug
mented by the number of specta-
tors. filled the room to capacity-in
fact. so many were out that the
crowd intcrfered with good dane
ing. But it was Halloween par.
ty. really and truly, and the Hal
lowe'en spirit of fun and frolic pre-
dominated throughout the whole
evenings entertainment. 1t is
doubtful if single one in atten.
dance could be found who would
say he did not have a nice time.
Residents of the valley from
Hanford to Priest Rapids were in
the crowd, even those from the
greater distances remaining at least
until after the dancers bad un-
! masked.
The prizes were awarded before
the masks were doffed, the winners
being selected as they passed the
judges in the grand march. Mrs
Eula Byrd and Mrs o. B. Gwin,
dressed as buck Indian and his
squaw. were given the prizes for
being the best costumed couple.
And the judges surely made no
mistake in that selection. From
their beaded moccasins to their
headdress they looked the part of a
we'll dressed Indian couple and
their actions also were entirely in
keeping with the characters they
had assumed. Miss Dorothy Witte,
the school teacher at Priest Rapids,
dressed in costume made Of bath
towels and labeled "Dear Ole Sat
urday Mite" won the prize for be-
ing the best costumed lady, while
Everett Shul of Hanford, dressed
as Zulu chief, captured the prize
for the best costumed man. Verne
Chase of Ailard, representing 81
Perkins. landed the prize for the
funniest dressed man, while Mrs.
j. G. Koukal of Hanford, imper-
sonating a witch. was ava ded the
prize as the funniest costumed lady.
A. W. Woodward and Mrs. Roy G.
Robinson won BOBBY prizes. Spe.
cial prizes were awarded Mrs. W..
H. Webb, costumed as Hawaiian
belle. and Mrs. 0. H. Sollibakke
of Hanford, as a Japanese lady
The. prize for the best eWaltzing
couple went to Carl Cords Of Han
ford and, Mrs. M. M. Wiehl of
White Bluffs. Mr.. and Mrs. Steve
Picatti of Hanford being awarded
second prize.
The total gate receipts for the
evening were $125 and after de-
Quoting incidental expenses the Le-
gion bows will net about $85.

MRS. RICHARD STRICKEN

Mrs. Lula M. johnson accom-
panied her mother, Mrs. Char
lotta Rickard, up on the Kennc-
wick stage last Saturday. Mrs
Rickard was returning home
from the hospital in Walla
WaIla, where she has been re-
ceiving treatment for her eyes.
The specialist in Walla Walla
told Mrs. Rickard that an oper-
alton might possibly restore the
sight of one of her eyes.
Mrs. Rickard suffered a stroke
of paralysis Tue iday. her entire
left side being affected. She was
taken to the hospital at Pasco on
Thursday for the proper care and
attention, Mrs. johnson coming up
from Finley Tuesday night and ac-
companying her mother to the hos.
pital.

cHINKs LOSE FIGHT

Chinese pheasants and Hun
garian partridges had an UNI
pleasant week end in this val
ley. 1t just seemed that they
could not get into any position
that was comfortable. Two
legged friends with smoke sticks
and accompanied frequently by
dogs with an abnormally de-
veloped sense Of smell, kept
the birds constantly on the
move and caused shockingly
long casualty lists. The birds
have gone into executive session
this week and they think that
with recently gained experience
and ring gencralship they will
be able to make much better
showing in the next engage
ment, which is scheduled for
Saturday and Sunday.

DOG QUARANTINE RAISED
IN EASTERN WASHINGTON

An order was issued recently
by Director E. Il. French of the
Department of Agriculture, re-
vok|ing the quarantine for
rabies placed upon the counties
of Kittitas, Yakima, Benton,
Franklin and Walla Walla,
which was put into effect April
6 of this year.
No eases of rabies have been
found either among the coyotes
or the dogs for several months,
and as the quarantine would
interfere with the visiting hunt
ers taking their bird dogs into
and out of the district, it was
decided to end the quarantine.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
HEALTH NOW ON


steal examination ON your birth
day. The State of Washington
hopes to lead in the national
campaign to foster ten million
birthday examinations before
July 4, 1924.
When the Walla Walla Coun-
ty health unit becomes operative
on January 1st, Washington
will have five full time county
health organizations and the
Rockefeller Foundation will
make it's initial appearance in
county health work in the state.
Walla Walla's recent accept
ance of the terms of the Rookie
feller Foundation offer means
full time doctor, two inspec-
tors nurse, and an office clerk
for the city and county, with
$4,000 available for the work.
More than 300 such units have
been established in the United
States. OF the Walla Walla
funds, $2500 is contributed by
the Foundation. I The state gives
an equal amount and the rest is
supplied by the county.
Yakima, Chelan, Spokane and
King County are the other coun-
ties of Washington with full
time health units. The State
Department. hopes eventually
to establish full time units in
every county.
Yakima was the first county
in the United States to establish
health unit. Tt is the model
unit which the Rockefeller
Foundation and state depart
ments of health hope to esta-
blish throughout the United
States.
With statistics showing that
one out of every four school
children in the state has an en-
larged thyroid gland, or goitre,
the Washington Department Of
Health is speeding up the pre-
ventiye campaign by which it
hopes eventually to place Wash
ington at the bottom instead
of near the top Of the national
goitre list. Statistics complied
by the National Bureau place
Washington among the states
where goitre is most prevalent.
TO meet tires situation the
State Department of Health in
cooperation with the Public
Health League, is urging an in
creased distribution of iodine
tablets by which lacking iodine
salt is supplied to the thyroid
gland. The iodine tablets are
now being administered through
the public schools in Yakima,
Spokane, Tacoma and other
cities with excellent results, ac-
cording to DR.. Paul Turner, State
Health Director. Seattle is using
the iodine treatment effectively
and plans wider campaign in
the schools. Kehnewick and Pas
co are about to institute the
iodine tablet system in their
public schools. 1t costs so cents
to administer the tablets to a
pupil for school year.
"Iodine is harmless ex-
plains DR.. Turner. "Like salt
it is required for bodily health.
In some localities sufficient
iodine is not contained in the
water to supply the body's
needs. BY administering the
iodine consistently we can
eventually eradicate goitre
among children of the state. "
In Switzerland, where a sim
liar system has been in effect
over a period Of years, goitre
was reduced, in one district
from 87.6 percent. in 1918 to
13.1 percent. in 1922.
Supplies of iodine tablets may
be obtained from the State

is proposed that no less than eight

If this is done it is the engineers

carried many miles to land dump,
can simply be blown by compressed
air out upon the sea bottom. The
