AIR PORT AT WHITE
BLUFFS IS URGED

The need and avisability Of an
airport at White Bluffs was urged
at the Commercial Club luncheon
Tuesday by NJ. H. McMechan and
z. B. Kinzie of the Western Air Line,
Inc, of Yakima, who flew to White
Bluffs that day for that purpose. By
drawing air lines on a state map it
was shown that White Bluffs was
almost in direct line between Spok-
aiie and Yakima and Portland; Seattle
and Pasco; sWenatchee and Pasco
and Lewiston, Idaho, and Yakima. In
addressing the club members Mr.. Nc
Mechan said that aviation all over the
country has advanced by leaps and
bounds during the past year and
that the need for emergency landing
fields in the smaller communities a.
long the routes between the larger
centers was becoming acute. He ex-
planned at some little length how to
&c about fixing up a landing field,
calling attention to the necessity Of
fairly long runway for the take-off
and landing, the absence of trans-
mission or telephone wires on or very
near the field, the laying out of the
runway in the direction of the pre-
vailing winds and many other es-
sential things. He said that all landing
fields would be marked on the air
maps and that pilots did not mind
going a few miles out of a direct
line in order to fly over these fields
as motor trouble was always pos
sibility.
The Western Air Line conducts
an aviation school in Yakima an: Mr..
McMechan said they were getting all
ever increasing number of students,
there being thirty-two now, and that
he expected this number to be increas-
ed to fifty within the next few months.
The company also conducts schools
in the nearby towns and said they
would come to White Bluffs for that
purpose, for an enrolment of ten or
more pupils.
Mr. McMechan and Mr.. Kinzie
flew to White Bluffs in a Waco ship,
covering the distance in 81 minutes.
John Lindblad Post of the American
Legion appointed committee some
time ago to take steps toward secur-
ing an airport at White Bluffs and at
the; luncheon Tuesday committee
composed of Fred Gilhuly, d. S.
Wilkinson and F. A. English was ap-
pointed to work in conjunction with
the Legion, committee.
After the luncheon several of the
club members accompanied Mr.. Nc
Mechan and Mr.. Kinzie to the land
ing field here to look it over as well
as other locations near town. After
locking over these locations Mr.
McMechan said that if the ground
could be secured north of the high
school it could be made into an idea
airport, capable of handling the largest
I airsfips. t-es .,-.''''F
Fred Gilhu1y accompanied Mr.. Kin
zie and Mr.. McMechan to Yakima
when they few back about four o.
clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. McMechan came to White
Bluffs last Fourth of July and did
nice business here taking up passen-
gers for short flights. He was also at
Pasco doing commercial flying at the
Air Derby there few weeks ago.

WENA7CnEE WORLD
GIVES Us A BOOST

Every community has its quota of
knockers, men who really get a thrill
of hearing something said that is a de-
/ triment to their own locality even go
ing SO far, in some cases to furnish
knocking articles to be published in
outside papers but in the very nature
Of things the knockers are always in
the minority for the great majority
of people are intelligent enough TO
know that knock at their community
is knock at themselves.
/ In the light OF some recent happen
inga it was refresf ing to read in the
Wenatchee World of last Saturday 4
boosting story on this valley. The mat
erial for the article was gathered laet
week by the state editor of the World
who made trip down here for that
purpose.
The story is to long to publish in
full hut the following paragraphs are
quoted:
ut looks like Il fine year-bcst crops
we've ever had" say White Bluffs
people as an 800 car crop of apple,
peaches, cots, cherries, potatoes, straw
safely nassed the danger period from
frost which stuck staggering blow in
1927. To handle the expected 500 cars
of fruit, the new two-story Priest Ra-
Iids Ice 4 Cold Storage plant is 70

acity Immediately and the White Bluffs
Warehouse company will double its
CAPACITY, the two improvements to cost
in the neighborhood Of Sl25,000. Five
other community packing houses are
being prepared to handle the crop.
The Priest Rapids valley, OF which
White Bluffs is the ce1ter, comprises
mere than 5000 acres under cultivation
and includes the Hanford, Allard-Vern-
ita and Cold Creek sections. From
there will be shipped this season about
800 cars of fruit, so cars of alfalfa hay,
sixty cars of early potatoes, $500 crates
Of asparagus and 1000 crates Of early
strawberries. Prices on asparagus have
letter than average prices will be re.
ceived for the rest of the crop, especially
since the White Bluffs section is from
two to three weeks ahead of other dis
tricts in the state.
1T looks to people of that valley
as though record year is on the way
to efface the hardships wrought by
night Of biting cold last year when the
thermometer dropped to " degrees in
some places. They hope SO, for they
see in good year the turning of the
tide of adversely which has held up
their valiant efforts to build them
selves town and valley which should
be one of the best home sites in Wash
ingtcn. One record smashing season of
good crops ard gooC prices will heart
en- them and again start the influx Of
settlers for the thousands of acres of
rich land for which water is available
and which needs only the right sort Of
settlers. 1...-..-
"Although comparatively small
town White Bluffs has one of the
livest commercial clubs to be found
apywere. How membership OF seven,
teen can function to such good effect
would be lesson to larger associa
tions. The secret seems to be that
everybody does his share and there
is no argument about policies"
The article goes on call attention to
White Bluffs 3o-piece military band,
to the winning qualities of the towns
base ball team and to the two accredit-
ed high schools in tie valley.

DAILY YAKIMA STAGE

puUlIC nearing WdS CUuuuClCu
at Liberty hall in White Bluffs
Thursday afternoon by the Depart
ment of Public Works, on the ap-
plication of the Reliable Transfer
4 Storage of Yakima for fran
chise for daily stage route be-
tween Yakima and White Bluffs by
way Of Hanford. Largely due, ap-
parently. to a misunderstanding,
the hearing attracted considerable
interest and there vas quite a
crowd out. &ja
Dick Maddox Of the Reliable
Transfer & Storage, has been con-
Quoting tri-weekly service on
this route for some little time
but has been operating without a
franchise. His application to the
Department of Public Works orig
lnally asked for a franchise from
Yakima, through White Bluffs and
Hanford, TO Connell. Quite a little
objection was raised to- the grant
ing Of a franchise for that part of
the route from Hanford to Connell
and Mr.. Maddox abandoned hope
of the Connell extension some time
ago.
j. E. Mulkey, who operates the
Kennewick stage, objected to the
carrying of freight between White
Bluffs and Hanford, as he already
holds franchise over that route.
I The hiilwa1kee railroad objected
to the granting Of a franchise for
carrying freight between Yakima
and this valley on the following
grounds that the railroad has a
comparatively heavy investment in
trackage, etc, here now; that a
new tariff, reducing freight rates,
will soon go into effect; that it is
capable and willing to give good
service, and that because the vol
ume of freight handled here is not
large sny division Of the business
could only cut down the revenue
and reduce the possibility of better
service and cheaper rates.
The interested parties, Mr.. Mad
dox, Mr.. Mulkey and a party of
Milwaukee officials composed of r.
E. Devlin, division superintendent;
Harry Rowe, division freight and
passenger agent and A. j. Laugh
an, railroad attorney. arrived in
White Bluffs during Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning and
at conferences between them and
local residents all of the objections
were ell minated. Mr.. Maddox
agreed to amend his applica tion to
leave out the Connell extension; to
not carry for revenue any freight
between White Bluffs nd Hanford,
and to limit the franchise to only a
passenger and express business. So
that the hearing, which was con-
Quoted by Legal Advisor r. E. Os-
trander of the Department of Pub
lie Works, was rather short and
perfunctory.
Anxious to get back to the main
line, the party of Milwaukee Off
cials left for Othello shortly after
the hearing, F.. A. English driv-
ing them over in his car.
Mr.. Maddox told the Spokesman
that he expected to put on the
daily service as soon as he re-
ceives his franchise, which, under
the circumstances. he expects will
be issued in the near future.

HARLAND OPPOSES
CHANGE IN PARKING
Fewer Space Reservations
Urged to Solve 18th
Street Problem.

The plea of the Thirteenth street
merchants that angle parking be re-
stored between + and streets was
answered yesterday afternoon by Traffic
Director William II. Harland with q
counter recommendation to the District
Commissioners hat parallel parking be
continued and that spaces allotted for
motor bus stops and several shipping
entrances" be abolished entirely and
that the size Of other shipping en-
frances" be reduced one-half TO provide
additional parking space Removal OF
the taxi stand at Thirteenth and F
streets also was suggested
Mr.. Harland explained to the Com
miSsioners that parallel parking reduces
congestion, and that the complaint of
the business men that it decreased the
parking space on the street can be
remedied by adopting his recommended
ton for abolition of the bus stop reSer-
vationS and several shipping en-
frances" besides reducing the size OF
others. The change from angle TO
parallel parking eliminated space for As
cars, according to Mr.. Harland, and
space for ali but six Of them will be
restored under his plan.
The traffic director said motor buses
have sufficient space for loading and
unloading passengers in the 2o-foot no
parking" areas at each corner and that
there is no need for special reservations
for this purpose. The shipping en-
frances" he proposes to abolish are in
front OF Dyer Brothers and the c. G.
Sloan Co. Both of these establishments,
he said, have excellent" shipping en-
frances in the rear. The other recon-
nlendationS are for a reduction OF one
half in the size Of the no parking"
area in front OF the Earle Theater and
the shipping entrance" in front Of the
Franklin Laundry.

SAYS SF1ELLY,S CHILD TRAINING
CAUSED REVOLT AS ADULT
Rev. T. v Moore Analyses Poets Early
Life In Describing Faults of Parents
With Youth.

Rebels and atheists usually are made
| in childhood, Rev. Thomas V. Moore,
professor of psychology at Catholic I'm
iversity. said in a lecture on character
analysis at the National Press Club au-
ditorium yesterday.
DR.. Moore pointed out that unintel-
ligent exercise of authority In home and
school turns certain types of children
into haters OF all authority. They hate
parents and teachers and from this it is
short step to hating everything as
ISOLATED with control--religion, govern
ment and social custom.
Almost invariably, DR.. Moore said
the man who has abandoned all religion
is found by the pSychoanalyist to have
been beaten or tormented in childhood
to the point where all authority become
a hateful thing.
He pictured as typical example the
English poet Shelly whose atheism and
political and economic radicaliSm he
traced back directly to dull and I'M
comprehending father and to tyrannical
public school masters. He analysed
Shelly's character, both from the events
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-03-14

of his life and the expressions OF his
thoughts through his poetry.
At school. he said, Shelly was not
only prosecuted by the Older boys, but
was treated unsympathetically by the
masters Extraordinary ability. DR..
Moore said. often originates in inability.
He gave AS an example an incident
when Shelly, who was poor In Latin.
went to an older boy for help. The
other as a joke wrote for the future
poet some verses from Ovid which were
passed in as Latin composition. The
master not only did not recognize the
source. but said that the lines were bad
Latin and boxed the bows ears. Such
incidents DR.. Moore pointed out. may
have had much to do with Shelly'S de-
velopment into a great poet
In such characters. he said, it is
often possible to trace the SubconsciouS
thoughts through the yelled expression
of them Thus he concluded that sub
consciously Shelly wanted to kill his
father, although the conscious thought
probably never entered his mind. 1t
found expression through the imag-
NATIVE characters of his work
