Bethesda Baptist-Coming into
church last Sunday morning the
work done by the committee of
Bethesda women and men with
Mrs. Mamie Battles at the head
was very evident. Cushions had
been renovated, the floor had been
scrubbed and the windows hung
with curtains that some of the
women had laundered. All of this
preparation was in view of the ex-
pected revival that begins Sunday
with the Rev. A. W. Ross of Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, who comes to Bethes-
da to hold a two weeks revival.
Last Sunday visiting minister,
the Rev. Washington hailing from
Los Angeles, California, who had
sought an invitation to preach and
was invited to come, occupied the
pulpit. Cold weather reduced the
attendance considerably, but the
senior choir was out and singing
under it's assistant director, Mrs.
Margaret Washington, rendered
the regular musical accompaniment
to the service.

Faithful Friend

Jesus was a faithful friend. His
loyalty to those whom he loved
never wavered. They might reject,
spurn and betray him, but he was
a friend who loved at all times. May
we mediate long upon this exam
Pile! Our friendships, which are
Gods best gifts to us, outside of his
own love, would be more noble and
,tRong and helpful If we could
earn Christ's lesson of loyalty.

last Sunday and unable to attend
church. Therefore the exercises
are not given in very great detail.
We learn that the attendance fell
but little on account of weather
conditions which is characteristic
of its membership. Rev. Fl. w.
Bolts preached his usual effective
sermon. On Monday evening at
the church the installation of the
officials chosen for the church year
was conducted under the direction
of the pastor. Most of the old Of
ficers were retained; there was an
addition to the deacons' board. The
Gospel Chorus, a group of women
singing under Mrs. Anna B. Lewis,
furnished the music, while the Of
ficers' Club served the refresh
ments.

WASHINGTON LEADS
IN WATER POWER

The state of Washington leads
all the states of the Union in po
tential water power having, accord
ing to the latest U. S. G.. S. infor-
nation, oil per cent of all avail
able potential water power, states
Glenn l.. Parkerf chairman of the
Water Resources division in a re-
port to the Washington State Plan
ming Council. 1t has about twice
as much potential power as Ore
gon, which ranks second among
the states. The previous U. S. G.. S.
report made public in 1928 show
ed that Washington had 1871 per
cent of the Nations available po-
tential power. The increase to oil
per cent merely indicates thatmore
authentic figures have been OBJ
tanned based on further surveys.
For instance, change in the
heighth of the Grand Coulee dam,
or the proof that another reservoir
site upstream from Grand Coulee
was feasible, would cause a cor
responding change in total poten-
tial hydro power for the state.
In Installed hydro capacity a.
mounting to 100000 horse pow
er it is exceeded only by Califor-
MIA with 2.450,000 horse power
and New York with 1,885,O00
horsepower. AS the installed capa-
city is usually about twice the po-
tential power, Washington has de-
veloped only about So per cent of
It's potential hydro capacity compar
ed to- about 29.7 percent for Cali
fornia and about 23.4 per cent for
New York.
Washington and the northwest
states depend much more on hy-
dro power than other large power
using states. OF a total installed
capacity of hydro, steam and in
ternal combustion amounting to
1,342,000 horsepower 1875 per
cent is represented by other than
hydro power; whereas in Califor-
MIA the corresponding figure is 49,
6 per cent and, in the state Of New
York 71.3 per cent, indicating
greater dependence on steam or
Diesel units or both rather than
hydro electric energy. Through in
terconnection of existing hydro
plants and those under construc-
ton, Washington can continue to
obtain it's power requirements
largely from its streams. When the
flow of the Columbia and the Clark
Fork in eastern Washington is
still high usually the Nest side 'riv
ers are reaching minimum. More
over during the hottest weather
the glacial streams are high while
the non-glacial streams are low
These marked variations in flow
and the availability of stored wat
er reduces the need Of auxiliary
steam or internal combustion pow
er.

STATE MAILING
PENSION CHECKS

OLYMPIA. July 9. Old age pen
sion check No. l, the first issued by
the state of Washington under its
new s1O,O0O,00O program, was
mailed out Monday to George w.
Reed of Ritzville.
The check one of approximately
700 to be dispatched, was for $22.-
$50.
To date, the state department of
public welfare has submitted rec
concentrations for 1896 pensions,
calling for $39.166, to State Audi
tor Cliff Yelle for payment
The first batch of pension checks
range from $12.50, only one of
which was issued, going to Zina B.
Hitchcock of Washtucna, to scores
calling for $25. Amounts of pen
sions are set by the department
following investigation of the appli
|carit's living needs.
The average pension check was
about $40. Under the pension law,
a maximum of $50 month per per
son was set, but it was believed
few would receive the maximum a.
mount
The law provides that the state
auditor will isue the pension check
on recommendations of the depart
ment, which will mail them out to
recipients as soon as they are is
sued.
Frank Dowd, supervisor of the
division of social security, which
handles pensions, estimated 5000
checks would be mailed out the
next few days. Due to slowness in
setting up machinery to handle the
first checksd that amount may not
be approved until later in the
month or in August.
Dowd estimated approximately
700 checks would bemailed out by
his office Oily for the next several
days.
To finance the old age pension
program, the 1885 legislature APP
nropriated $10,00O,0O0, with the
understanding Fart of that would
