ZIG ENROLLED BY
PLAYFIELD HEAD
Average Daily Attendance is So;
Swimming Classes Register
Seventy-seven

To those who are statistically-
minded, figures often tell a clear
er story than words. The work and
influence of Kennewick's commun-
ity playfield can be seen in the fol-
lowing tables, prepared oy Har-
riet Hudnall, director.
Enrollment-boys 10 to 16 years,
90; 8 to 9 years, 26; A to 2 years,
"A. Girls 10 to 16, "a; 8 to 9, Ia; a
to 2, 43; total, ZIG, of which 1872
are boys and 81 girls.
In the 10 weeks in which the
playfield has been open, there has
been an average daily attendance
of So, the highest being 90, and
the lowest % one rainy day. There
are usually five organized games
daily. Half of the children have
hand work and construction, while
the others have unorganized play
or rest periods.
About so children turn out each
Saturday afternoon for swimming
lessons in the pool. 36 are in the
beginning class, 18 in the intermed-
late and 2S in the advanced. The
total registration for swimming is
~. The swimming classes will put
on a water carnival August 8, with
swimming races, diving exhibitions
and stunts. No admission fee will
be charged to those who want to
see the carnival.
Judges for the water carnival
will be G. H. Shanafelt, /. N. Muel-
ler, w. C. Muldrow, E. c. Tweet

the churches throughout the coun-
try, the Rev. Morton declared that
our Washington churches were
pretty accurate samples of the
whole group. Most of them have
the same problems of the evening
service, though he attended one
church at Colorado Springs which
was packed in the evening.
Meeting and talking with other
men from the four corners of the
United States was one of the
greatest benefits of the Kiwanis
convention, the Rev. Morton con-
tinued.
When questioned about the fast
time made in driving, one aspect
of his trip, the fame OF which pre-
ceded him home, he laughed.
'No, we didn't loiter. The last
day of our trip eastward, we made
well over 400 miles. That was the
day we ate breakfast in Iowa, our
| lunch in Illinois, dinner in Indiana
and slept in Ohio. On our way
back, we drove 4S7 miles in one
day, the last 81 being at night
over one of the worst mountain
roads I've ever seen. We shouldn't
have done it,"

PATROL JAILS
MEN WANTED
IN 3 COUNTIES
Copeland Relays Warning to
Carnahan; Walla Walla,
Yakima, Adams Have War
rants Out for Men in Car

Prompt action and cooperation
on the part of the city police de-
partment and the state highway
patrol resulted in the capture last
Thursday of two men wanted by
three counties for larceny.
On Wednesday, C. E. Copeland,
chief of police, received call from
the sheriff at Walla Walla, warn
ing him to be on the watch for one
AL Germine, 80, driving light
Ford truck and a companion, c.
L. Bisbee, 90, who said they lived
in Kennewick. Their license num-
Der was 201-22O.
After making inquiries in town
and learning nothing about the two
men, Copeland turned the matter
over to Marvin Carnahan, high
way patrolman. Carnahan picked
up Germine and Bisbee Thursday
morning on the road between Sun.
nyside and Zillah, recognizing then
by the license number. He took
them to Jail at Yakima and wa:
surprised by the announcement
that Yakima county had a warrant
out against Germine and Bisbee
1t was latter learned that Adams
county, too, had a warrane agains
them. The two men have been driv
ing around in this district, picking
up whatever came handy, Cope
land said. They were charged will
stealing hides in Walla Walla.

Spray to Control Red
Spider, Advises Durdle

The best information we find
available on control of red spider
comes from a California bulletin
published in 1922. We recently
wrote to DR.. Webster of the Col
lepe to ask for his recommenda-
tions, but as yet have not received
a reply. In order to give informa-
tion to readers of the papers this
week we have prepared the fol-
lowing article from the California
bulletin and if new information is
available by next week, we shall
run another article.
It is very important that the
trees affected by red spider be
thoroly irrigated. The method Of
feeding by the mites draws ma
terially upon the moisture supply
in the tree and allows excessive
Incorporation. For this reason, the
blocks affected with red spider
should be given the maximum
amount of water that can be pro
vided.
The method recommended b!
California, is the use of the follow
ing spray: 5 pounds powdered o.
sublimed sulphur, 1-2 pound OF cal
cium caseinate. These two are mix
ed together wet and then run thr'
sieve into the spray tank IN q

Glover Expects High Bidding
on New Air Mail Routes
from Pasco to Spokane, Sc
attle and Portland

ssFlying in the West has forged
ahead so fast that the people in
that section are much more air.
minded than they are along the At
lantic seaboard."
This is the opinion of w. Irving
Glover, assistant postmaster gem
eral, voiced in Washington, D. G..
after he had completed his recent
trip to the Northwest. Bidding will
start soon on the air mail routes
from Pasco to Spokane, Pasco to
Seattle, and Pasco to Portland,
and Grover declares the bidding
will be spirited.
"I found during the course of my
observations" he told reporters in
Washington, ssthat there is much
greater interest in air mail thru
out the West and Northwest than
in the eastern section of the United
States"
Discussing the proposed ne"
routes out of Pasco, Glover said,
"There will be spirited bidding
/ for this route. The residents OF this
section appreciate the tremendous
value the establishing OF such 9
route will be to the cities affected
affording them direct. air mai
connection with cities of the Eas
instead of train connections.
1 Glover also said that the pos
office department might shortl!
have to consider carrying only tw'
cents on first class air mail, par
lticularly on long hops over passen
| ger routes that have no mail con
tracts. He expects the 593,OO
pounds of mail carried during Jun
to be superseded by higher Jul,
record.

u,,vn up by the Commercial

Larson, chairman, Lloyd

-utiye committee of the Yakima
,.I,ev Reclamation League to
'aout plan to put through the

i year 1881, or if that is imprac-
s,.ble. to adopt program to Sc

larson, Miller and Hagie, the
,.rbers of the committee, have
,,tnowledged the receipt of the
rsolution and announced their In
b.tion to meet at an early date

The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, on the 18th day of
Jnuary, 1928, DIR. Elwood Meade,
Commissioner of Reclamation, adj
drssed communication to Senator
Wesley L. Jones, in which, among
,ther things, he made the follow

ment. Assuming a satisfactory out
come oi the further Investigations
outlined above, it is now proposed
to recommend the initiation OF
10th the Rosa-Moxee and the Ken
uwick units in 1881 rather than
1894, or one year before the COM
ok6on Of the Kittitas division as
Now planned. This in effect ad
v,uces the time of beginning al
rsposed Yakima work three full
r,rs on the ten-year program.
Whereas, the conditions existing
a the Kennewick Highlands, com
