STATE OPEN ROAD

Though the North Bank Hiph-
way is far from being a completed
road it already has given the state
engineer proof that it will stand
up as an all-year route from the
east side to western Washington.
After the "silver thaw" which
made the Columbia highway in
Oregon perilous to motorists a
number of slides occurred closing
the road temporarily. Between
Hood River and Cascade Locks
the Oregan travel was detoured
across the Columbia river bridges
and over the North Bank highway.
The Washington road was open
and passable for traffic.
Washington engineers contend
that the North Bank highway,
when completed will be exposed
to the sun during the winter and
in little danger of being closed by
snow or ice, condition that does
not prevail in the shadows of the
Oregon side of the river.
Thus far during the winter state
maintenance crews have had no
more difficulty keeping the roads
open than they experience during
the summer. Snow plows have
been used in eastern Washington
but they were brot out only once
on the west side. Minor slides have
occurred:

equipment of the plant for
shipment and it is reported he will
go to Oregon, where he has been
offered a position.
Mr.. Baxter gave Hanford a good
newspaper, better than was really
warrented by the business. 1t
costs money to run a newspaper
nowadays, more than the average
public would think, and small town
weeklies have their troubles maxi
ing both ends meet, especially
when dull times come.
Had there been more harmony
among the water right owners in
the effort to work out a settle
ment with the ditch company that
would have given permanency to
the district, Mr.. Baxter would I'M
doubtedly have tried to keep the
ship afloat until better times ar
rived. But when the settlement at
tempt failed, and with the pros
pect of a receiver for the compan-
les imminent, the Herald gave up
the ghost. Unless something I'M
foreseen happens, it is likely that
it will be some time before Han
ford will find a man Of Mr.. Bax-
ter's ability to start another news

GREETED, for a town without

SMALL SONS AND PARENTAL
TEAMWORK

W. w oINh
Mahlon Moore was eleven years
old, and his brother James was
seven. Mahlon and his chums had
I a baseball team that Jimmie was
anxious to join.
cav, shucks," scoffed Mahlon,
you're too little. You couldn't
throw ball SO fellow could hit
it."
That night Mrs. Moore noticed
that Jimmie was very quiet, and
asked him if he was not well.
'1'm all right, mother" he re-
piled, but his anwser given in an
absentmnded way, troubled her.
After she had heard his evening
prayer and tucked him into bed,
she partly closed the door and
stood outside wondering if she
should go back to see if he was all
right when she heard him get out
of bed. In moment she heard
him say: Please, God, help me
grow big fast, so I can Join NAH
Ions team and throw the ball SO
they can hit it."
Slowly she went down to her
husband. Daddy Moore, we have
problem; let's get the answer
she said and then told him the
story. s.
In about ten days from that
time, Jimmie had birthday and
some of his chums were invited to
help him celebrate. As it was so
important a day Mr.. Moore left
his office to be with them for an
hour.
Boys" said Mr.. Moore as he
came In, chow would you like to
have a game of baseball? 2" Wig
orous clapping of hands met this
question. just then an express
man drove up and a moment later
brought in a large package. It
was addressed to James Archibald
Moore, Captain of the Winner
Baseball Team.
Now Jimmie was the only Jim
mic Archibald in that family, so
he was told to open the package.
In it were gloves, bat, ball-indeed
everything to please the heart of
baseball lover. Down to the va
cant lot the merry party went,
and there a happy coincidence was
discovered. There were just
enough for a perfect team!
"Boys," said Mr.. Moore, "here
is a plan you. may like to fol-
low. Let James be the first captain
because this is his birthday. Let
him be captain until the next boy
on the team has birthday, and
so on through the team. Forum
ately, your birthdays all come in
moderate weather, / have learned,
and few weeks apart. Each cap
tain should name his Officers and
the boys serving with Jimmie step
out when the new birthday comes
and so on, in order that all may
have chance to help make the
team a success"
Just then Mahlon and his team
came up. "May we play, too"
said Mahlon to his father.
sNo, Mahlon, you are all too
big" answered Mr.. Moore. The
brothers exchanged chances, and
Mahlon remembered his saw, you
are too little" Sometimes to be
'too big" can be as great a handi-
cap as to be "too little" was the
lesson Mahlon learned from that
answer.
That night Mrs. Moore deliber-
ately listened outside her small
sons door.
Soon she heard: ooh. God, new
er mind about helping me grow
fast. / have baseball team of my
own. Amen"

Bill was talking about the new golf
club he had just joined I'll take you
down there some time he said. There
isn't another club like it in the world.
My doctor told me to take some sort
OF good healthful exercise, and he sug-
gested golf When do anything do
it right, so / inquired around to find
out which was the best golf club there
was, and this one stood so far out
out ahead of the others that there was
no choice. OF course the price was a
little high, $500 to get in and $3.50 a
year dues, but why not belong to a
course you can play on IN comfort,
instead of one of those over crowded
COW pastures that pass as CVurSeS
around here.
"Say, the turkish bath in our club
house alone is worth the money, with
five rubbers, and doctor to take your
heart pressure, and a dentist to look
at your teeth to see if it isn't the in
lection at the roots of them that is
putting you off your game. You can
take Is kinds of baths in that place
all in a string if you want to. Every
member has little marble dressing
room of his own with private shower
attached, and there are two swimming
pools, one warm and the other cold,
with thermostats to- keep them at just
the right temperature.
I'm the other wing of the club house
there is big lounge room and "a
library, and a dining room for big par
ties and a cafe, and a rathskeller
Then there is long porch overlooking
the bay, and furnished with steamer
chairs, and while you sit out there
waitress dressed like stewards come
along and serve you broth and other
kinds of food just like they do on the
decks Of the big transatlantic liners.
