there will be no further spread of
the disease.
Contrary to current rumor the

been vaccinated. The sore arms
and the accompanying indisposi-
tions have been experienced and
Mr.. Hodge looks forward to a COM
paratively uninterrupted season.
There have been but one or two
severe cases of smallpox, tho, near
ly every family in the valley that
had previously missed seige of
either chickenpox or smallpox has
recently undergone the ordeal.
Pupils in the schools will be ex-
amined frequently and the first
SYMPTOMS will be closely watched
to prevent further outbreak.

KIWANIS CLUB
TOBE FORMED
Local Men Respond En-
Enthusiastically Toward
New Organization

Kennewick is to have a Kiwanis
club. A temporary organization
was formed this evening, and as
soon as sufficient number have
applied for membership applica-
tion will be made for a charter
from the national council.
About forty members of the
Pasco Kiwanis club came over to
meet with local business men at a
banquet at Hooper's. After ex-
planning the purposes and ideals
of the club, the local men were
called upon to express their re-
actions concerning the forming of
such club here. Every man
called upon was of the opinion
that there was a definite need for
such a club here and was strongly
in favor of organizing.
The club has for its purpose the
instilling of friendliness, the ac-
tive participation in all civic bet
terment affairs, and the daily ap-
plication Of the Golden Rule in
all things. The activities will in
no way interfere with those Of the
Commercial club. On the contrary,
other towns have found that a
Kiwanis club actually improved
the work and the results accom-
plished by their Commercial or
ganizations.
The temporary organization was
formed by the election of l.. E.
Johnson as president, E. c. Smith,
secretary and G. H. Shanafelt,
treasurer. Another meeting has
been called for tomorrow noon
when a membership committee
will be selected to solicit signers.
1t requires thirty-five signers to
obtain charter, and but two men
in each line of business are al
lowed to become members. Secre-
tary Smith already has nineteen
applications.
Meetings are to be held weekly,
with an interesting program of
some sort as a feature. Details
of the new organization will be
worked out later.

Open Air Program

Is there a Santa Claus 1t would
have been a treat to everyone to
have been present at the commun-
ity Christmas tree meeting Mon
day night at the Commercial club
rooms. There were delegates from
practically all the religious, fra
ternity and civic organizations of
Kennewick.
The faces of the so-called "hard
headed business men" fairly beam
ed with the spirit Of Santa Claus
as they discussed plans of distri-
buting candy among the kids. The
men and women from the church
es, who are already burdened with
the problems of spreading Christ
mas cheer in their own organiza-
tions, nevertheless, freely and
cheerfuly offered their time and
services to assist with the COM
munity tree.
1t was decided that the COM
munity Christmas program would
be held on Thursday, evening, De-
cember %. and would take place
on the corner of Kennewick Ave.
and Benton street. However, If
the weather will not permit an
open air event, it will be held in
some one of the churches, perhaps
the Methodist church.
The financing of the entire pro-
gram will be done by the fraternal
and civic organizations. The reli-
gious organizations will not be
asked to contribute as they are all
having trees.
Outside Of erecting a little tree
in front of their shops, the busi-
ness men will not be solicited for
money. A tag day was suggested,
but over-ruled as it was thot that
some individuals would be tagged
In one OF more VI buS AAdOOAh hoA
and civic organizations and then
probably tagged again on the
streets.
The American Legion will sub
nit complete report of all re-
ceipts and disbursements soon af-
ter Christmas. This report will be
published in the paper. If there is
any money left over it will be put
in the bank as the Community
Christmas Tree fund to be used by
whatever organization that takes
charge of this work next year.
Sure! There is Santa Claus,
and just so long as there are men
and women like those who so kind
ly met with the American Legion
and Ladies Auxiliary last Monday
night, there always will be SAM
ia Claus.

That even the children are learn

prevention is demonstrated by the
experience of Miss Laura B. Cap

ties of the state. At the close of
her usual health talk to the school

VALLEY IN GRIP
OF ZERO SPELL
One Below is Minimum
for Two Year Period
- Warmer Soon

Our Christmas weather came
about ten days ahead of time. The
weather man slipped a cog when
he dished out the atmosphere for
the past week. Monday night the
temperature dropped to one de-
gree below zero, according to the
official records being kept for the
government by F. H. Spiegelberg,
of the Highlands.
A fine driving snow which fell
most Of the night accompanied the
drop in temperature, which was
general over most of the western
states. While the weather has
moderated somewhat, more snow
fell yesterday and more is prom
ised for tonight by the weather
man. The cold spell has been brok-
en- and with warmer weather to-
morrow it is likely that our snow
will be gone before evening.
The sudden drop caught quite
a few householders unprepared
and the plumbers were kept busy
thawife out frozen pipes. I'm
drained radiators were frozen and
the wrecking cars were kept busy
hauling in stalled cars.
The same low temperatures
were reported from many sections.

one below as their minimums for
that night. No damage has been
done to any of the crops, with the
possible exception of the newly

Helen Wills has definitely decided

that friends have urged her TO
