FIRE DRILL

At assembly Monday Mr.. Hodge
reorganized the fire drill proceed
ure. Observation has shown that
students are much like sheep in one
respect-when one starts toward
an exit the rest do also. Conse-
quently each room has been given
a special exit and it is hoped that
by this means the drill speed may
be increased.
Of course, everyone expected
the fire gong to sound about the
middle of the afternoon, but to the
great disappointment of many
there was no chance for a two
minute recess. :.
Tuesday morning, however, dit
bring the waited for drill but i
was so cold outside that everyone
was glad to go back in. Why dom
they have fire drills on nice warn
days anyway?

COMMUNITY CHEST

THE Kennewick district should
= have community chest to take
care of its share in supporting
worthy charitable organizations
and movements. Outside of the
business section, little support is
given to such organizations.
Almost every day someone is
going through the business dis
trict soliciting aid for some cause
or selling tickets for a benefit. If
all of these necessities of commun-
ity life could be determined at the
beginning of the year; if these
could be budgeted in community
chest and one drive made to cover
all donations at one time, it would
be relief to the entire district.
With a community chest estab-
lished, all could he given an oppor-

NOT IN THE BUDGET

THE action of the city councii
i Tuesday evening in tabling tine
removal of the present city dump
is a wise one in our opinion. The
present dump is accessible ana Is
handy and because of that fact
is used by the majority of people
in Kennewick. It also makes the
disposal of garbage reasonably
cheap because the haul for the gar
bape trucks is short. And because
it is cheap, most people have their
garbage hauled away and there is
little indiscriminate dumping.
The idea of the local Izaak Wal
ton league in cleaning up the bank
of the Columbia is commendable
and is one with which most of the
members of the council are prob
ably in sympathy with. But like
many other things in life which
are nice to do, they must be linz
tied by their practicability and by
the size of ones pocket book.
In the present case, to remove
the dump, land would have to be
purchased, which would probably
be only a minor expenditure. Then
arrangements would have to DE
made to haul the garbage from its
present location to the new dump.
And expenditures would not stop
there because it would cost the peo-
pie of this community more each
month to have their garbage haul
ed away because the haul would
be materially longer.
The time may come when it will
be necessary to remove the dump.
If that time does come, the city
will probably be in better financial
condition to foot the bills.

Nova and her mother reached

no one was around she seated her

really inspired. Ernest and the
beautiful world outside had given
her new theme. She was tremb-

She began to play. Her fingers

WE APPROVE Mr.. HARTLEY.

~ most of the work of the state
legislature last week by his vetoes.
Along with the Sunnyside Times,
we think he did good job. While
we do not entirely agree with the
Times on the east-to-west highway
issue, because it would have been
an excellent means of tieing to-
gether the state and the burden
would fall where it should-on the
road user-on the whole the Times
expresses our sentiments in the
following editorial:
"The state can well dispense
with the east to west highway for
a couple of years more. 1t can dis
pense with King county pavement,

college bill meant a lot more taxes
for somebody and was unnecess-
airy. The w. C. T. U. search and

was proper enough. Dry officers
should not have any more author
ity than other law officers. There
are penalties enough now for booze
violations. What is needed is a
better public sentiment.
