AGE PENSION
PLAN FAVORED
Hundreds Eager to Sign Petit
tii0ns Asking Government
to Give $500 a Month to All
Over 60; Sweeping Country

Enthusiasm for the Townsend
old age pension plan is sweeping
the country and all over the nation
petitions are being circulated to
induce congress to adopt the plan.
In this great movement Kennewick
is taking its part and this week
hundreds affixed their signatures
to petitions and but few refuse to
endorse it.
The plan calls for 2 per cent
sales tax which is expected to raise
"a billions a year with which to
pay some ten million persons over
the age Of so a pension Of 5000 a
month. The plan provides that the
monthly pension must be spent by
the end Of the month when issued,
and that all those receiving it must
withdraw from all forms of pro-
duction. It is argued that the adj
vent of machinery has brought
about an over supply of labor which
will steadily grow worse as mach
merry is further developed and that
the place to retires labor is in the
older brackets first. It is thought
that the expenditure of such vast
sum Of money would stimulate bus
mess to such a point that the de-
preston would end within a short
time never to return, that this
problem of unemployment and give
new hope to all those who are adj
uancing in years.

GRADE SCHOOL
T0GIVE XMAS
PLAY DEC. 20
Elaborate Cast Arranged for
Annual Operetta, 'FOllOw-
ing the Stars" Miss Miller
to be SOlOist

The Yule-log, the tree, the
carols, the presents? What is the
greatest Christmas gift? The
children Of the Washington school
are going to answer this question
when they present "Following the
Star" at the Liberty Theatre at
1870 pm. December 20, 1884.
The operetta begins on mod
ern note. A street in any city.
Children gather on the Christmas
eve of 1884 to discuss the things
children always discuss on Christ
mas eve. A curb stone; laughter;
coasting and the genuine bewilder-
ment of two who don't quite und-
erstand.
Act one presents the Judean
Hills to the bewildered two. It is
1884 years ago and everything is
quiet and clear and bright. The
world is waiting for a beautiful
climax to its story.
In act two we see the Inn In
Bethlehem. A crowded hotel and
the fateful words "There is no
room. There is nothing but q
stable"
Act three shows us the stable in
the courtyard of the Inn. Gifts to
the humble child whose birthplace
was a lowly manger, because the
hotel was too crowded to admit
Mary and Joseph.
And with burst Of lovely music
the scene is back once more TO the
corner in any town. A changed
group of children with new ans
wer for the question: "What is the
greatest gift?"
Miss Elizabeth Schuehle has di-
rected the music, assisted by Miss
Frances Allen. The children have
learned many Christmas carols,
" Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
"Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem"
and 1.-THE First Noel"
Richard Foraker and Carol VIM
cent take the parts Of the bewild-
cred children in the prologue. There
is a rhythm band and IA March Of
the Wooden Soldiers" which are
done by pupils in Miss Fricke's and
Miss Rings rooms.
The part of the Christmas Angel
is taken by Frances Perry. Marg-
aret Smith takes the part Of the
angel Of the ANNEXATION.
The shepards parts are played
by James Mills, Ira Lampson, Leo
and Harold Himmelsbach, Lee Dur
kee and Dale Neuman. The Inn
Keeper is portrayed by Lyle
Dague. Earl Strope plays the part
of Joseph. The soldiers Of King
Herod are Max Canadian, captain
of the guards; Edwin Gariber and
Glenn Weiggands, soldiers. Read
ers are as follows: Anna Benfield,
Phyllis Oliver, Nadene Shields and
Zelda Dehnhoff.
The six Christmas wishes are
girls taken from Miss Buchanan's
third grade class. Miss Miller IL
the soloist.
