MORE COOPERATION NEEDED

For number Of years the White Bluffs Wo-
mans club has done great deal of good for the
community through it's efforts to keep the GENE
terry in good shape. 1t is large task, however,
for organization, which also has other civic
matters requiring it's attention.
A handful of boys giving their services for one
day, cannot, no matter how earnest and sincere
their desire, make of the cemetery the beauty
spot we would like it to be on Memorial Day when
we honor dead. The White Bluffs cemetery
is the burial grounds for the whole Priest Rapids
community, and it is no more fair that one organ
lzaton alone should carry the whole responsibility
of it's care than that one citizen should be expected
to keep the markers in condition. simply because
he has been so kind before as to volunteer to do
this work.
Would it not be we'll to form an organization
composed of people who own lots there, as we'll
as other residents who wish to see this place kept
up, to handle the work of repairing, improving,
and identifying the grounds?
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1934-05-31
CONSIDERATION

Complaints often heard that the banks of the
Columbia river as we'll vacant lots, being used
for dumping grounds for rubbish of all sorts. Not
only does this habit make the river banks an I'M
slightly place, but unsanitary conditions to
exist here
There are several places here which have been
designated as dumping grounds, and while they
are not the best solution to this problem the resi-
dents of the valley should use them until a bet
ter system of disposal can be found.
Persons disposing of rubbish should consider
their neighbors' welfare as we'll as their own, and
should remember that promiscuous dumping of
refuse does not beautify the countryside nor make
it an attractive place to visitors.

Hort. Test
BY
DIR. E. L. OVERHOLSER, Head
OF Horticulture Department, Wash
ingtOn State College
Discussion of Last Weeks True-False
Horticultural Statements

l. False. Growing season temperatures
below normal do not tend to increase
the hardness of the fruit trees during
the following winter, in fact, such con-
ditions may lessen the degree of har-
dtness attained by opposing the maxi
mum manufacture and storage of re-
serve materials and delaying the at
tainment of complete maturity of the
trees before winter sets in
2. True. The roots of fruit trees are
normally very low in resistance to low
temperatures. When, however, the soil
IN early summer is dug away from
around sections of roots about the
trunk, the exposed portions develop
surface resembling that Of the trunk,
and tend to acquire also the greater
hardness of the trunk
3. True. While generally vegetative
buds of fruit trees are more resistant
to low winter temperatures, there are
conditions when apparently they are
more tender than fruit buds, especi-
ally If the killing temperature comes
very early in the winter Apparently
the leaf buds may mature or harden
more slowly than the fruit buds A Sc
we're temperature in late winter, how
ever, will often destroy fruit buds with
out damage to the leaf buds.
True-False Statements, No. 4
THE farther the young fruit
buds are advanced in their develop
ment, the greater are the risks of their
freezing during periods of low winter
temperature.
2... Sunlight upon frozen fruit
tree tissue has no marked influence
on the amount of injury suffered by
such tissue.
3........It appears that when fruit
tissue above ground may be killed, it
results from the minimum low temper
allure of a single night.

afternoon from the Senate Finance
Committee.
The bill passed the House a

to force a vote on discharging the
committee from further considera-

from Chairman Harrison CD of

Observers predicted an unfavor-

ITO bother with entertaining me.
You're to do exactly as you
please, you know"
She went into the kitchen and
stood for a moment staring ap-
sently about, scarcely seeing the
perfect equipment.
What had Peter meant? Was
i he being thoughtful, reminding
| her that she was to be free OF
wifely compulsions in her plans!
Or did it mean that Peter was
serving notice, now that they
were back, that he intended to
| follow his own life?
She heard the phone ring.
Someone was calling who evident
lv knew of their arrival. She
could hear Peters deep voice an
swering. Millicent was saying,
"Hello, Peter. I've been out OF
town. Only just heard this min
ute that you were back
"Telling the TRUTH"
"Have / ever used alibis?"
"Sorry, Mil"
"Mother is giving a dinner
party for Carol tonight. Of course
it was a deliberate slap at
Ann. You needn't expect too
much of Mother. If you could
have seen how feathers flew
around the old coop! Cheerful
news?"
Peter scowled blackiy into the
phone. "Well, at least Pm not
surprised. You can tell her for
me that she can count me out,
| too"
'I'll describe your tone of voice
which would be better. What's
she like-your new wife,"
"Come over and find out"
81 think / will run over-now. "
Peter hung up the phone, feel
ling better. Millicent's friendship
or enmity were not to be taken
lightly. She could prove a good
friend and bad enemy.
Ann came into the room. She
looked tired and sober, he thought.
"That was Millicent," Peter
said. She's been out of town on
a weekend party. She's coming
over now"
"Oh," Ann said. Peter saw her
face brighten. Then she had been
hurt. Poor kid.
Ann was thinking that it was
silly to be feeling glad it was
Millicent and not Valeria who
had been calling Peter.
"Saw in the paper the Peter
Kendalls have returned" Mac
broke the news to Sarah, who
would be "Mrs. Mac" before
many moons.
