Speedy Boats
To Appear In
Races Sunday
Nearly Twenty Boats Are
Eentered; More May
Come

Attracted by the fact that the
Columbia river here offers the best
course in the northwest for boat
racing, some. Of the most famous
drivers In this section are planning
to enter the cupboard races here
Sunday. A number of them are
bringing fast G class racing out
boards, and it is probable that an
F class hydroplane fastest out
board on the water-will be here.
Jerry Bryant of Seattle, holder Of
many Pacific Coast championships,
will be among those with G class
boats, other from Seattle being Bus
Tuthiu and Bill Harrison.
Earl Joplin of Wenatchee will
again be here with his "Just Skip
It" and Marvin and Joe McKelheer
of Yakima will enter the "Popeye,"
raced last year by Keller Of Wen
atchee, who will have his midgets
in the race this year.
The Pacific Phantom former
holder of a coast championship, will
be raced by Wright Wiel1l. Elmer
Cornell's "Alo1na" and Jim John
sons ";Sea Flea" both of Yakima,
are other speedy G class boats.
Other drivers of G class boats who
are expected for the races are Paul
True and Lawrence Richert of Spo-
kane.
The G class service boats will be
entered by John Neu1nan of Ken
newick, Giles Tussler, Frank Pulito,
Roy Rice, Frank F'ullmer, Everett
Baker and Roy Schreiner of va
ki1na.
Frank Van Cello Of Grand Coulee
will be here with his 80 Long,"
an A class boat of about the same
speed as the midgets, and it is quite
sure that Carl Joplin of Wenatchee
will bring his Miss Weratchee,"
an F class hydroplane capable of
about so miles an hour, to the
races.
A number of other drivers have
expressed their interest in the races,
and while no definite assurance has

In
Readiness For
Big Turnout.
All Advance Indications
Point To Record
Crowd

White Bluffs will again be hosts
to thousands of racing fans from:
all parts Of central Washington
Sunday, August %, when the third
annual speed-boat races are held ON )
the Columbia river here. And with
many of the best-known drivers in
the northwest scheduled to appear,
thrills aplenty will be in store for
them.
During the past two years this
event has drawn large crowds from
Yakima and the lower valley, but
this year a much larger crowd is
expected, as greater interest has
been evidenced throughout this Sec
ton as well as other parts of CEN
trail Washington. The advertising
program conducted by the White
Bluffs Commercial club sponsors of
the event, has aroused great inter-
est and everywhere the boat races

large crowd have been carefully
worked out and it is expected that
the parking of the many cars will
be accomplished easily. A corps Of

rolmen, will be in charge of this
work, under the direction of Arno,
Krug.
Two stands have been built on
the bank above the ferry landing
for the dispensing of refreshments
and ice cream, pop, sandwiches and
coffee will be sold during the day
to those who do not bring their
own lunches. Paul Schicka is LIN
charge of this detail.
To care for the many boats en-
tered In the races, a committee UNI
der the direction of Wright Wiel1T
is fixing several new floats. The
beach in front of the floats will
be roped off Sunday so that the
drivers and mechanics will have.
plenty OF room to work.
The major feature of the days.
events will be the races between
the drivers of the speedy G class
boats who are coming from Va
kinaa, Wenatcfee, Seattle and other
cities with old feuds to settle. In
addition there will be races in the
other classes and such sports as
free-board races, log rolling and wa
ter basketball.

Making a Choice
a Independence and Loneliness or
" Dependence With Ties of Affection

TO MOST persons there comes
L sometime in their lives the
opportunity for a choice between
independence and loneliness or ties
and affection. The wise mature
person thinks long before choosing
the former above the latter. There
are many young people, however,
who feel so sure of themselves
and their ability to "get along
all right that they are irked by
the least restraint. They throw it
off, only to discover later in life
that affection is worth the curtail-
ing restraint and dependence en-
tailed. Companionship has been
their portion up to the time of
their decision that dependence is
what they must have, at any cost.
They have no idea of what lone
liness means.
Separation.
The adult who is separated from
his family because of distance,
domestic estrangement, or who
has outlived the other members,
realizes to the full what it means
to be alone. It is when estrange-
ment causes the separation that
there are times when the alone
ness is bearable or agreeable, but
these times are interrupted by

Human nature is so constituted
that people cannot live in the same
atmosphere and always see eye to
eye. There is wisdom in this plan.
Individuality would be quelled if
what any person thought Chow
ever beloved) could always be
accepted without dissent by those
around him Cor her). Nor can ac-
tions of even those dear to us, in
variab1y meet with our approval,
whether expressed or unex-
pressed.
It is when we learn to permit
personal differences without CEN
sure that companionship, in the
home or out of it, develops best.
Even when children are young,
they must be allowed a. rnodicunn
of such freedom or when older
they will long to break away, and
if they do then there is loneliness
in store for the youth, and sadness
left in the home.
Divorce.
Married couples, when they con-
template divorce, have the choice
between independence plus lone
liness, or dependence, each on
the other with affection restored,
or remaining less than could be
desired. 1t may be there is incom-
patability, but it should TO- be re-
that no two persons,
or single, can live to-
gether under the same roof and
always be congenial. However,
this does not signify that at heart
affection is gone. Separation
means loneliness for one or both
of them.
Families.
Within a family there is sure to
be some dissension at times
young folk may quarrel and adults
dispute. But when these times are
over, the ties of affection, the as
sociations that intertwine, and the
fabric of their lives so closely
woven together, should prove a
firm foundation for continued COM.
panionship. The door to loneliness
should remain barred.

colonial style, as such, resulted chiefly
from simplification, omission of orna-
