newick Community Council to serve
as medium through which the
organizations of Kennewick can
cooperate more fully in their work
for community progress"
The membership in the council
is made up of one representative
from each general organization in
the community, with three mem
bers selected at large. The mem
bers selected at the first meeting
were E. C. Smith, M. M. Moulton
and Mrs. F. r. White. Among the
questions coming up for discus
sion were the following.
Christmas Cheer. After some
discussion the Legion offered to
take charge of this feature in the
community program and the coun.
Gil voted to center responsibility
for this work with the Legion.
Clothing Welfare Work. The Wo.
mans club offered to take the re-
sponsibility for furthering this
work, and it was voted to leave
ut with this organization.
Toll bridge. President Smith OF
the Commercial club pointed oui
that the Commercial club was tax.
ing an active part in an attempt
to hurry the states purchase OF
the toll bridge and asked all or
ganizations in the community
wishing to offer suggestions OF
ideas along this line, to send them
through the Commercial club Sc
as to bring about uniform action
The raising of the Boy Scout
quota of $500 was taken up by the
president of the Kiwanis club, Mr.
Schmidt and after some discussion
he was asked as representative OF
the club, if the Kiwanis club would
not be willing to take charge OF
the raising of this fund, it being
| expected that other organizations
would wish to contribute to this
work. 1t was voted that this re-
sponsibility be given to the XII
wants club if that club would take
it. Mr.. Schmidt also pointed out
that the Kiwanis club was sponsor
! ing the improvement of the tri.
angle at the intersection of Benton
Ave. and the state highway.
A discussion of Cleanup Week
was brought up. The main discus.
sion centered around size of the
job and it was felt that possibly
this work could be handled best
thru the Commercial club as the
central organization. 1t was moved
that this organization take charge
of this work.
In order to keep away from con-
siderable conflicting of dates II
was felt that a calendar for the
year be posted and that organiza-
tions wishing dates for special oc-
casions check over this calendar
/ before making final selection OF
! dates. so as to be sure that the
/ date is not on, or too close to, :
date which may have been preyi-
ously selected by another organic
alton of the community. The i'm.
/ portance of meeting, of course
would determine as to how closely
other meetings should be schedul.
ed. This calendar is now posted
at the Commercial club where il
may be checked over by anyone
interested in better cooperation or
the community program. 1t is sug.
| gested that organizations wishing
dates reserved. leave a slip with
the office assistant at the Com.
mercial club rooms, giving date
function to be held, and name oi
organization wishing to hold it
Several dates have already beer
selected.
