STATE PATROL
STARTS CHECKUP
Six Are Stationed at junction Of
Speedball And Sunset. Cars And
Trucks Will Be Thoroughly In
vestigated.

In al determined effort to en-
foice traffic laws and protect the
public from needless accidents and
careless operators Of motor vehic-
les, the Washington State patrol
Monday began "a hour per day
traffic checkup at the junction of
the Grand Coulee Speedball high
way. and the Sunset highway, one
mile north of Coulee City.
Six men in three shifts, will not
only check cars for old license
plates. but they will also tes the
lights, windshields wipers, brakes,
and in fact the whole vehicle, for
violations of the state laws.
Believing there is a. gross disre-
gard of the state traffic laws, the
patrol will concentrate first on the
neavy trucks carrying material to
the dam area and later work on
the passenger cars. The work is
expected to continue for at least
two weeks.
So many traffic accidents, many
of them fatal, have occurred in the
state during the past year that the
highway patrol department. have
decided to make determined
drive in an effort to cut down the
percentage, which has been soar
ing the past few years.

| ing for Ehe purpose OF explaining
the Townsend Revolving Pension
Plan and organizing a local unit,
was quite well attended.
1t was in the afternoon oof that
day that Atty. Ed. Southland of
Ephrata, accompanied by Glenn
Wilson and Jesse Odden, of Yaki-
ma, organizers for this district, ar
rived in the city to make plans for
the meeting. After arrangements
using the school gymnasium were
made posters were put UP and by
word of mouth. the meeting was
advertised.
In the neighboThood of twenty
or twenty five enthusiastic boosters
for the Townsend Revolving plan
gathered at the gymnasium to hear
the organizers explain the planj.
Both are good takers and extrem-
ely interested in the plain, not for
a selfish reason, for it will be many
years before either of them reach
the required age of so years, which
is necessary to become eligible I'M
der the present plan, One man is an
engineer who says that thousand
of engineers who have graduated
within the past fe wyears cannot
find positions because an over su-
pply >of engineers, many positions
being held by men who would be-
come eligible to the pension. Both
gentlemen seemed to have thor
ough understanding of the subject
under discussion and the audience
listened with enthusiastic atten-
ton.
Following the talks the meeting
as thrown open for discussion and
after talkig among themselves for
a short time and asking questions
of the organizers, it was decided to
form Townsend club Fourteen of
those present signed up and Off
GERS were elected as follows:
President-T. e. Leonard
Secretary-Ward Pooley
TTeasurer-E. j. Edison.
Another meeting was held Tues
might at which time more members
were taken in and committees an;
pointed by the present. In order to
get charter at, least 100 membar
ship is necessary. However, since
the territory is unlimited local
members feel that it will be an
easy manner to secure the required
number and more. Another prom
inent Townsend speaker is schedul
ed to address the club and others
here in The near future. All are in
vited and it is hoped the gymnasi-
UNI will be taxed to capacity.

|y meeting the situation.
A plan was devised whereby tho
laborers will be housed in thestate
park buildings at the foot of Park
hill. A cook will be employed and
the laborer will receive his board
and room for SIS per month. In as
much as this sum will not pay ex-
penses the local chamber of COM
merce will donate $25 per month
for the mems board and three 9TH
eT towns in the county will be ask
ed to do the same. If this can be ar
ranged the money thus appropriate
ed can be used and numerous i'm
provements made at the park
About forty men will be employed
it is said. The comfort room start
ed some time ago will be complet-
ed, water will be piped to the Vista
