CHILDREN'S HEALTH
CLINIC IN OFFING

Owing to the recent transfer OF Dr.
Albert McGown from the Seattle Office
of the FERA to Washington, D. O., the
Womans club pre-school clinic will not
have his services as was hoped for DR..
McGoWn is a. very successful child spe-
cialist and his new position is a very
responsible one which is great tribute
to his abilities.
In his place, Dr. Spaulding will ex-
anime the youngsters, sometime next
week probably, although the exact date
has not yet been set. AS many as pos
sible of the families with small chill
dren will be contacted, but because OF
the short notice it is advised that par
ents early next week get in touch with
Mrs. D. S. Wilkinson, chairman OF the
clubs child welfare committee, or Mrs.
j. M. Shinn or Mrs. r. S. Reierson, who
will be acquainted with exact infornla-
ton as soon as it is available.
The clinic is invaluable to this COM
munity as a check on the growth OF
the children and their fitness to begin
the school year, and it is especially
important that those, who had measles
or humps be examined for any pos
sible after-effects of these diseases.
Examine Athletes
DR.. Spaulding will also examine the
school children who plan to take part
in athletics during the coming winter
It is not known for certain if he will.
do this on the day of the clinic OF
not. At present he is busy making SIM
liar examinations in the school dis
tricts around Prosser and KenneWlck
Both small pox vaccination and i'm
munization from diphtheria will bt
given at the clinic at only a nomina
cost, probably not over twenty five
cents for either treatment. In the in
terest of public health as we'll as tt
avoid individual illness in this doctor
less community, DR.. Spaulding urge
that every child who has not yet re
ceived the benefits of these two grea
preventives take advantage of this op
portunity. The vaccination and immu
nization are also sponsored by DR..
r. Coffey, state supervisor of publ
health, who has made the low price
for these vaccines possible.

AUGUST PERIOD HITS
FOREST FIRE PEAK

More man caused forest fires start
in the national forests Of Oregon and
Washington during the last ten days
of August than in any other ten-day
period of the year. according to i've
year study recently completed by the
u. S. forest service in connection with
the campaign to prevent carelessness
with fire in the woods. The next most
hazardous period is from July 20 to 81,
according to the report.
The year 1881 proved an exception
to the general rule, with the last ten
days of July showing a peak OF 1853
man-caused fires; and in 1882 the first
ten days of October brought the peak
of lis fires due to carelessness. In spite
of these variations, however, the rec
ord shows that the last ten days OF
August are invariably prolific Of fires
and the five year average for this per-
iod exceeds that of any other.
Smokers Responsible
Most of the man caused fires are
shown to be caused by thoughtless
smokers and campers. Forest officials
offer various explanations for the high
fire rate in this period prior to Sep
TENDER first Most important is that
the national forest area is largely in
high attitudes where the forest carpet
and timber are often not thoroughly
dry until late summer. Next In explain
alton is the fact that peak OF sum-
mer picnicking and camping often
occurs prior to Labor Day and during
the berry picking season at this time
of year.
"In Oregon and Washington every
year combined total area OF between
10000 and 100000 acres is burned
over says Regional Director G. J
Buck in commenting on the fire study
This means the startling ten-year to-
tai of more than 4 million acres. The
main contributing cause is thoughtless.

SUDDEN PASSING
OF LEE M. LAMPSON

His many friends in this valley were
saddened to learn Of the death of Lee
M. Lampson of Kennewick Thursday
evening, August Is. At one time county
agent of Benton county, Mr.. Lampson
was later instrumental in organizing
the Washington Early Crops, market
ing organization, and was manager OF
the concern since it's inception. Through
his work in state and national CO.
operative circles, in which he was one
of the pioneers of this district, he had
made a host of friends and admirers
throughout this locality.
While it was known for some time
that Mr.. Lampson was in poor health,
none realized how serious his condi-
ton was, and the news Of his death
came as distinct shock to his friends.

HEADLINES

FLYING ON into eternity, Wiley
Post and Will Rogers passed beyond
the mortal horizon Thursday eve
ming when their plane crashed short
distance from Point Barrow, northern
most settlement of Alaska.
The two men--the one famed avi-
ator. the other the nations outstand-
ing humorist-were on an aerial va
cation which had taken them from
Seattle to Fairbanks and had nearly
completed the hop from Fairbanks to
Barrow when fog forced them to land
in a lagoon.
Discovering from Eski1nos that they
were but few miles from their des-
tination, they started on. In taking
off, the motor misfired as they were
but fifty feet over the water and, out
of control, the plane crashed, tearing
off the right wing and topping over,
forcing the engine back through the
body of the plane. Both men were in
stantly killed.
With messages from all over the
country carrying expression of the grief
of a nation, comes the realization that
Americas foremost humorist of today
and one of the pioneers on the new
frontiers of aviation are not repre-
sented by those crushed bodies but by
their works, which will take fore
most place in their respective fields
Rogers, born in the Indian Terri
tory of Oklahoma, and a cowboy dur
ing his youth, rose to be star OF
musical comedy when he began inter-
posing his own quips during his rope
twirling act. He ventured into the
movies, but the silent pictures failed
to record his quaint infection and sly
humor and it was not until talking
pictures arrived that he reached the
heights of screendom.
Meanwhile, he had attained fame as
commentator on public affairs anc
current events, and his daily releases
in the newspapers did much to injec1
sense of true perspective into pub
lie consciousness tensed by some ma
tional or international crisis.
Post first achieved international fame
in 1881 when, with Harold Gatty, nj
circled the globe by plane in elgh
DAYS and IS hours. Two years later
in July, 1888, flying alone, he lowered
this record by flying around the Worlt
in seven days and 18 hours, creating
solo nonstop record from New Yorl
to Moscow
His greatest laurels, however, com
from his recent shakespeare fRghts
Late in 1884 he ATTEMPTED four trans
continental flights through the strato
sphere, but each failed due to defect
in his equipment. Displaying the IN
genuity which marked his work, n
devised rubber suit and helmet TO
such flights With this equipment, y
conducted experiments in stratospher
ic flying, claiming an altitude recor
of $4,000 feet.

THROWING AN anchor Of security
to nearly 3OOOO,0O0 Americans, the So
cial security bill recently passed by
Congress was late last Wednesday
signed by President Roosevelt.
Under this act, three groups OF peo-
pie are directly affected: the aged the
unemployed, and the women and chill
dren. Old people will have system OF
pensions and system of insurance.
Unemployed will have available a form
of insurance against joblessness and
aid to children and to mothers will be
available on an unprecedented scale.
The first years cost will run to about
$10o,OOo,OOO, but within period of Is
years payroll tax is expected to Gre
ate a stabilizing fund to care for the
expenditures.
Yesterday-as American social his
tory goes-a dream championed by
lone voices; today, law, says the Chris
tan Science Monitor of the bill, adding
that, "Individualistic America driven
by economic necessity and startled by
social extremists flourishing in its
midst compromises. Germany ane
England long ago went farther. But il
America it is new, and big news"
