CWA Nurse Tells the
Girls About Her Work

Miss Sylvia Packard, CWA nurse,

and Professional Women's meeting
Monday evening. She told the club of
the duties Of the nurses and stated
that she had made Al visits into
homes during the month of January,
visited schools and inspected 1,719
children. The inspection included the
checking of weight, height, eyes, ears
and throat. She visited 80 homes
for school calls, supplied one pupil
with glasses through the facilities OF
the Red Cross. She had one patient
brought to sanitarium, which re-
moved the menace of spreading the
disease.
She has been assisted by Miss Shir-
ley Duff and Miss Wilcox of Pasco
during the past month. Mrs. Mary
Roberts will take Miss Wilcox's place
during the coming month on account
of transportation, Miss Packard
stated. This transportation is quite

Basket Ball Games
Are Waxing Warmer


The church league double header
basket ball games will be played to-
morrow night at the high school gym
instead of Saturday night as previous
" scheduled This change is made
for the benefit of the town team
which will play Yakima at the local
gym that evening.
The Baptists will meet the Metho-
dists at the first game at 1880, while
the Christians will clash with the
Catholics in the second canto, due 70
begin at $3.50. Increasing interest is
being shown in this series, especial
" since the admission is but jitney
for the two games.
Wednesday nights basketball game
between the Walla Walla Blue Bell
Roudies and the Kennewick town team
was the hottest game yet experience
ed on the local floor. Both teams
played outstanding games and the

PLAN
OF NEW SCHOOL
is ON DISPLAY
Assurance Given of Completion
of Project Under CWA Plan;
Will Care for Needs for Years
to Come .s.-....

A picture of the proposed new
Junior-Senior high school is now on
display in the window of the Courier
Reporter office. This beautiful build
ing will become a reality in the City
Of Kennewick If the voters see fit TO
pass upon a bond election which will
be held on March 1. This building,
when completed, would be one of the
most modern Junior-Senior high
school buildings within the state.
The building will represent an ex-
penditure of $4,000, which the pa
irons of the school district can pur-
chase for between % and 80 cents on
the dollar. Patrons should not be-
come alarmed at the recent delay Of
CWA work as at no time was the at
titude of the government in doubt as
to finishing all undertaken projects.
The new organization of CWA,
which proposed to begin operations on
February 10 would be the organiza-
ton under which this building pro-
ject would come. The state has as
sured the local district that the
states share will be forthcoming If
the local county welfare board will
sponsor the project.
Both projects previously sponsored
by the school have received very
just consideration in material and la
Dor allowance so there is no reason TO
believe that new project will not
receive the same just consideration.
The district of its own accord
could never build the proposed build
ing that we now have an opportunity
to build, due to the fact that it's in
debted limitation would not permit
such an expenditure. Each patron
should try to acquaint himself with
every fact in relation to the build
ing before casting Judgment as in
the near future when the grade school
problem must be eliminated we will
be faced with a greater expendi-
ture than the present building would
be, and receiving only a small per-
centage of building facilities that is
now before us. At such time we
are sure that many longing reflec-
tions would be cast back at lost op-
portunities.
The school board, upon the sug-
gestion of the various service clubs,
have made thorough survey of the
building needs of the district and
present the above project as best fit
ting the district needs over a long
period of time. School officials
stand in readiness to supply informa-
tion in regard to this project.
And it is hoped that each patron
in doubt will take the opportunity to
get the information.

(New York World-Telegram) ! Booth Tarkngton perfect instance of nostalgia worshipper of things past, visiting New York, prog nosticated upon the future saying: With the rise of the radio there will be
 very few books and novels The writers
 will be playwrghts styling their enter tainments for production by actors When they bring the entertainment of the
 theatre to armchair very few will energy to read novels.
 If MT Tarkington had pushed his nostalgia fervor farther back he could have linked this up with minstrels of time when the world illiterate The mnstres vanished people learned to become universal and the radio minstrel has begun to. act out in dialogue form. But MT. Tarkington stops too soon. He reasons that inventiveness is lazy mans yearning to save work. It is mans desire to rise above the moil lof a labor beneath his mental and temperamental gifts His satisfaction is in the act of creating more than in the of the thing created. The lage which has produced the radio and televison lis highly creative world The handicraftsman. who, like the minstrel, tended to vanish for a while is coming back in diverse forms. The new inventions serving the masses would stultify mankind if they did not produce new creative powers in all as leisure expands
 That is why government will become and more educational institution, representing creative ideals and stimulating the creative side of indi- lvduals. That is what the trends in govern Iment throughout the world mean-a determination Ito supply first the necessary material bases for human beings, more articulate and more creative with words hands.
 The world would be barren and hideous for all it's prodigies if the new inventions meant a universe of armchair listeners actor chatter the ether
