RATHING ADVANTAGES

The swimming pool in connection
with the tourist park is in great de-
mand these days, and Jack Duffy es-
Inmates the daily average attendance
as near the hundred mark. That
sounds good. The lowering of price
was a good move, and the young peo-
pie especially are showing their ap-
probation. During the past week, Mr..
Patton, son of "Dad' Patton, has Civ
en- swimming instructions. He is stay
ing until Sunday, and will then con-
tinue his vacation. Mr.. Duffy, in his
usual cognenial way, makes a visit
to the pool a pleasure, and he spares
no pains to see that each one gets
full value and more. The water comes
from well, there being a pumping
plant connected with the pool, and
the water is changed frequently SO
that there need be no hesitation OF
staying away thru fear of negligence
in this respect. 1t is a great boon to
tourists, and it is hoped that they
both know, and take advantage OF
Kennewick's contribution to their
convenience and comfort.

CHANGES IN THE P.P. & L. co.


The Public Utility Service is stead
lily growing, not only in extent, but
in Importance. The Pacific Power &
Light company is demonstrating it's
ability to keep abreast of the times,
which is a mark also of sslive con-
cern." We are all prone to do our
calculating FIRST, in terms of the
dollar, but new vision is rapidly
taking root, viz: first, the need, on
to put it another way, the program,
and having definitely decided that the
program is practicable, and sound,
then the monetary problem fits auto
matically into its place and must be
met. Any real 'sgoing concern" will
have the welfare of its employees at
heart and it is a fact that the p. p.
& l.. operates on the family idea.''
In this connection, Carl Deffenbaugh
will leave for Toppenish on July Goth
as plant salesman. Mr.. Cochran will
succeed Carl here, reading meters,
and handling appliances. Mr.. Coch-
ran come from Lewiston, Idaho. On
the Pasco side, Guy Davis, known
to most of us, will leave for Lewis
ton about August Sth, to become head
salesman in the Lewiston plant. Mr..
Cady, from The Dalles, Oregon will
succeed Guy at Pasco.
We congratulate these ''boys'' and
wish them "the best"

MISS HAZEL HUME
TO BE PRINCIPAL
Former Teacher to Take Position
Recently made Vacant by Res
ignation of Mrs. Mccormick

1t will be of interest to the many
friends of Miss Hazel Hume, former
teacher in Kennewick, and at Pasco
during the past year, that she has
been chosen to succeed Mrs. McCor-
mick as principal of the Washing
ton school. This does not mean that
Mrs. McCormick's decision to resign
is welcomed. Mrs. Mccormick has en-
deared herself to both teachers and
scholars, and has set a high standard
for her successor to follow. However,
as the change seems inevitable, Miss
Hume's appointment seems to be a
happy solution.
1t is sincerely hoped that the har-
mony, and cheerful cooperation of
last year may not only be repeated
but exceeded if that be possible. With
Mr.. Warren c. Hodge at the head, the
outlook both at the High school and
Grade school looks encouraging. Let
the parents cooperate with the school
board and teachers and things will
boom. There are many who would
like to see the teachers spread them
selves out little more, and visit the
different churches, and help with the
smaller Sunday Schools. There will
be no pressure from the new super.
intendent so that Community spirit
will be probable and profitable.

RETURNS FROM CONVENTION

Mrs. Caroline Kitten has just re-
turned from the Thirtieth 1nternation-
al Christian Endeavor convention,
which was held at Portland, Oregon
from July A to 10. The convention
was attended by thousands and thous-
ands of Christian Endeavorers from
all parts of the United States and
Canada. There were several represen-
tatives from foreign lands.
The theme of the convention was
"Fidelity to Christian Endeavor
Principles" Emphasis was placed up
on the evangelistic, community and
missionary activities of churches and
the part played in these programs
by the Christian Endeavor Society.
According to the reports made at
the convention the Christian Endeavor
movement is growing in towns and
cities of North America and in for
eign lands. The report made by Cen
eral Secretary Edward p. Gates,
showed that 9,732 C.E. societies have
been organized during the last two
wears. The membership thruout the
world is approximately 100000 in
$4,000 societies.
One program definitely decided up
on is to recruit thousands of young
people into the church This recruit
ing will require personal effort by
each member. According to the lead
ers, young people can best be won to
Christ by young people.
Local Christian Endeavorers are
confident that the attendance of the
delegates from local societies will
greatly help in the formation OF new
societies in this community and the
recruiting of many young people not
now associated with the Christian
Endeavor Society.

MAIL SERVICE
MUST BE FAST
Contractors are Required to
Cover Distance Pasco to
Elko at 90 Miles

Air service contractors who desire
to bid on the proposed branch line
of the transcontinental air mail sys-
tenn between Elko, New, and Pasco,
Wash, must guarantee to cover the
distance between those two points in
an average time of four and quar-
ter hours at a normal speed of 80
miles an hour, it was discovered to-
day when the postofice department
released specifications for the eight
branch air mail routes to be estab-
ished, and a general invitation to
bidders, according to the Spokesman
Review.
The schedule for the Elko-Pasco
branch calls for departure from Elko
at 11:55 am. when the transconti-
mental flyer westbound arrives and
arrival in Pasco at 4:35 pm, with
halt at Boise at 1:55 pm.
After the mail reaches Pasco it will
go by train to Spokane and Coast
points for delivery the following
morning.
To connect with the eastbound
transcontinental mail, the plane must
leave Pasco at am, after receiv-
ing mail from Portland, Spokane and
Seattle, and will reach Elkp at 1:1O
pm. dropping in at Boise en- route
at 1880 am.
It will be noted that the westward
trip is scheduled to consume 20 min
utes more than the eastward, but
neither flying schedule can be fol-
lowed to the minute. Weather condi-
tions are expected to have important
effect on the flyers over this parti-
cular branch, and their speed on some
occasions will be slower than others,
with 90 miles an hour as normal.
The slight difference between east
bound and westbound time is said to
be due to necessity of making con-
nection at Pasco with the transcon-
tinental ship on the eastbound trip.
An additional specification is that
not more than six round trips per
week will be required over the Elko-
Pasco route, giving the flyers their
regular day of rest.
No territorial restriction is placed
on bidders for service between Elko
and Pasco, and any individual or cor
poration may bid on one or more
routes. This opens the way for a
company such as it has been limited
may be organized by Henry Ford at
Detroit to take over operation of all
the branch routes on contract, if its
bids are the most advantageous re-
ceived by the postoffice department

FIRE AT 7. C. BROWNE HOME

What might have been bad fire
was averted by the presence of mind,
and fast work of Mr.. T. G. Browne
at his residence on the Highlands. 1t
appears that some lard was cooking
on the stove, when it suddenly over
flowed and caused the linoleum to ig-
mite. Mr.. Browne quickly applied the
hre extinguisher, and threw the
burning material outside the door
Where it caught the back steps. The
damage is estimated at about $4,000.
Another fire was that Of an un-
occupied house southwest of town
owned by the Columbia Irrigation Co.

ccOIJTS ATTEND
SUMMER CAMP
EIGHT Boys from the Town
Troops Left Sunday
for a Week

Row organizations for the upbuild-
;rc Of youthful character have made
.nch rapid strides, or have stood the
...t Of time, as that of the Boy
Scouts. -. ..- ..1:@
The writer we'll remembers. its in
eention. It was during the Boer war
that q young British officer won his
snurs. rising rapidly from the rank
- Major to that of General. This
General, Baden-P Powell by name, con-
eeived the idea Of the Boy Scouts, and
eventually set it in motion, himself
being Chief Scoutmaster.. From a
eomparatively small beginning, it
has achieved worldwide reputation
and it is quite in order to witness
demonstrations of skill and efficiency
in China, for example, as in our own
land.
The summer camp is one of the
strategic branches of Scout work.
Wise indeed are those parents who
will sacrifice if need be, in order to
give their boys the privilege of at
tending same. In camp the natural
disposition shows itself, and the hon
est-to-goodness Scoutmaster can get
a line on his boys perhaps as in no
other way. Then, the discipline is ex-
cellent, and presses point necessary
in all phases of life, that of Obed-
ience, and the American boy is no ex-
ception in point of need. Rubbing
shoulders with other boys tends to
root up the element of selfishness to
which human nature is prone, and to
which each and every wrong can be
invariably traced. It is to be regret
ted that lack of interest on the part
Of the adults sometimes retards the
efforts of the Scout Leaders, but it
is perhaps thru a lack of knowledge
Of the aims and regulations of the
movement.
The camp in which Kennewick is
interested is situated in the Blue
Mountains about IL miles above Day
ton. The boys go up in punches of 60
at a period, and there are six per-
iods. Kennewick will be represented
by about IL lads, but that is a very
small representation surely. The
Scout life is an "urge" to Self-Mas-
terry, and that is the key to happy
and useful life. The cause of a great
deal Of misery and unhappiness is
not alone that Of individual discrep-
ancy as unit, but rather that of fail
ing to adjust ones self to the claims
Of society, and to realize ones pro-
per relationship thereto.
The Boy Scout movement is one
channel thru which true conception
OF individual clean living, and good
Citizenship can be learned. Let us
remember that there are no perfect
organizations, and there can be very
little progress made unless we look
for the good, and contribute to fur
ther good.
