CELEBRATE AT
PASCO JULY As
Regetta and Ball Games Big
MISUNDERSTANDING and
Diving Races

Two days crowded full of inter
esting events will be staged by
the. Fourth committee at Pasco.
Featuring boat races and a cham
pionship baseball tournament, the
celebration begins at nine each
morning and lasts full IL hours.
Fifteen entries in the motor boat
races have been made, including
some of the fast boats from Spo-
kane and Pendleton. The races will
not be run between the bridges as
announced last week, on account
of the swift water at that point.
The regetta will be held in the
back water at the mouth Of the
Snake river, about a mile below
Pasco. 3d.. .~.
+ Good Prizes
Prizes totalling $500 have been
put up for the boat races and some
exciting action is sure to develop.
Equally liberal prizes have been
set aside for various events, in
Guiding the bathing beauty show.
The Pasco people want still more
entries from Kennewick. The judg-
ing will take place at ten Friday
morning, so that the entrants may
take part in the water contests.
All taking part in this event will
have special favors, such as motor
boat rides and favors appropriate
to the OCCASION are being done to
make the participants feel well re-
paid.
At 10:40 the Kennewick scouts
will play a game of water polo
with a team from Pasco, following
which will be the dive into the
river from an airplane.
Play for Championship
Following the first heats in the
motor boat races in the afternoon
will come the ball game between
Kennewick and Pasco. Saturday
Kennewick will play White Bluffs
and the winner will play Pasco on
Sunday for the valley champion
ship. All Of the games will be play
on a percentage basis, the winner

cation from this side of the river
to be in attendance both days of
their celebration.

those who discard the wrappers do
not mutilate them more than nee
esary, for it makes it more diff
cult to separate from the paper.
Mr.. Perry finds separating the
wrappers something to occupy his
time. He is no longer able to work
and the occupation helps to pass
the time.
In several of the business places
In town are receptacles for the tin
foil. These receptacles are emptied
occasionally and when there has
been hundred pounds or more
collected it is shipped to Spokane
to be sold. The proceeds go to the
Orthopedic hospital. Make it a
point to save tin foil wrappers.
