PROCLAMATION

Elsewhere in this issue appears a
proclamation issued by the mayor Of
the village in regard to child health.
1t is similar to those issued by the
President and the governor Of the
state. Congress, in 1928, authorized
such an observance and we are pleas
ed to note that the movement has
gained such wide observance thruout
the country. As mas been repeatedly
pointed out, the health of the child
rem of the nation is an item Of ire
mendous Importance to the welfare of
the country. Children of today are the
rulers of tomorrow and to best serve
the welfare of the nation extreme
care must be taken of the children of
today. The movement is worthy one
and one in which every citizen should
participate.

Before our wide concrete side
walks were laid, there was double
row Of trees down the main street in
town. These trees made the town q
most attractive spot, situated in the
center of a 100-mile desert. Tourists
remembered the pleasant oasis after
travelling the then dusty highways. It
seems now to have been a mistake to
have had the trees removed. There
never has been time since when the
foot traffic has justified a ten-foot
walk, while the trees would have been
a real blessing. There is still one
spot in town, however, which makes
the city look distinctive. The strip Of
lawn and the well-kept hedge by
Bricks service station are real as
set to Kennewick and his efforts to
beautify his place should be COM
mended.

Visitors from the surrounding towns
who came to Kennewick last Saturday
to join in the celebration of the Of
fetal opening Of the cannery, all
spoke of the value Of such an ;nsti-
tuition to not only the Kennewick dis
trict, but to the entire area. This is
spirit of unselfishness which is
spreading rather rapidly of late thru
out the Pacific Northwest. People
everywhere are beginning to realize
that what benefits an individual Sec
ton can acquire are bound to be Of
value to the entire district. The ex-
pressions of congratulation were sim
cere in every case, we think, and we
are sure that the benefits of any
such improvement will be widespread.

Washington, D. C., Feb 21.- "rhat convent chapel has sig nificance for the nuns which par ish church does not possess for its congregation" is a fact which was soon impressed upon the architects of the new chapel of the Sacred Heart at Brentwood, Long Island, the Mother-House Novitiate and School of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Diocese of Brooklyn, writes Dr. Frederick V. Murphy, professor of architecture at the Catholic Uni versity of America at Washington, D. C., and one of the designers of the chapel in the latest issue of "Liturgical Arts"
 To the casual observer, a new chapel or church Is just another chapel or church, pleasing or other wise, according to the tastes of the individuaL who oftentimes misses the entire significance of it's resign or the purpose to which 1t is to be dedicated. pr. Murphy explains the motives which inspired the archl- tects to develop the designs from which the chapel was built. He continues, 'The nuns may be said to live in thUchapel; it is their real home; it is there that they get in spiration and strength for their work in school, hospital. or or phanage; and to it they return to have their energies renewed. When one discovers what chapel means to nun. one understands the self abnegation that withdraws her from the world.
 "The nuns made us realize that a convent chapel should express not merely the purposes common | to all buildings, where mass is said, lconfessions are heard, and the word of God is preached; but that IS should beside represent all those influences that enter into and make up the religious life of the community The nuns at Brentwood have three main Concerns: their own religious life, the formtion of the young women intheir board ing school who are mainly destined | for life in the world. Naturally lSaint Joseph, the foster father of Our Lord and patron of happy
 death, Is an influence of para lmonnt importance in the lives of his spiritual children. The chapel is dedicated to the Sacred Heart,
 which is the symbol of Christs
 dove for men. and for that reason it's representation might have as
 sociated with it with propriety St
 Margaret Mary Alacocque whose
 revelations were the great inspira- ton of devotion to the Sacred Heart in the modern church.
 'The sisters in charge were par
 ticularly solicitous that the needs
 of their movies and pupils should
 find expression in the chapel: fol
 that reason, they suggested that the
 austerity of design congenial te

They were also anxious that the pupils distined for worldly careers should develop their religious life in surroundings of such aesthetic quality that their memories of school days in after life should. always be associated with the good and the beautiful.

The materials of construction, too, must be of such character as to express the enduring quality of re- ligion. Accordingly the plan of tho Latin cross which is in perfect harmony with historic tradition was selected and only materials of unquestionable integrity were used. ymbolism which plays so. large a part in the Catholic Church should be represented in all decorative forms.

 "The controlling theme of the decorative treatment of the interior of the Chapel is the Sacred Heart: a figure of which is surrounded by l a number of saints and doctors to whom the community has special devotion, and the promises made to Saint Margaret are represented literally and symbolically on the nave walls. The introduction of the nine choirs of angels Is inspired by the majestic invocation of them | in the pdeface of the mass.

PLAN TO OUTWIT

Special Covers Should Be Used Under Which
 Seeds Can Be Started

With the approach of sprlne thousands of amateur gardeners anxious to get busy with outdoors planting and sowing of flowers and vegetable seed. will be glad to know that there is a way to outwit the deadly frost menace and extend the garden season from three to four weeks, even in the Smallest garden This is done simply by making use of special covers under which seeds can be started. protected from tht weather, then transplanted Into tb' garden. .
 To do this, 1t isn't necessary tr have q greenhouse. With a small easily constructed hotbed and cold frame, any average amateur nom gardener can grow flower and vege z table plants as readily as the cor merciaI grower.

 For annual flowers of coldframe will be sufficient in most parts Q; the country. Many vegetable plants can also be grown in one, providing the crop is not wanted too early The plants can be transplanted di rectly from this coldframe into tn | field.
 For best use with vegetable plants however, a combination of hotbed and coldframe is necessary. The seeds are first sown in the hotbed lthen transplanted to the coldframf as soon as they can be sandlec
 From there. they go out to the gai
 den when they have reached tn proper size and when the weathe I is suitable.
 This method of producing plant~ can be used for hot weather vege tables that require a longer outsid. season than the latitude of a larg' part of the country will permit. I; is also used for plants that re quire a cool season through a larg' part of their development an
