LIKENS TIMES
TO THOSE OF
LINCOLN'S DAY
Speaker from Seattle Flags
Administration at Banquet
of Republicans at Prosser
Wednesday

Lincoln Day banquets al over the
United States featured attacks upon
the New Deal, with prominent
speakers everywhere. The Benton
county affair, held at Prosser We'd
nesday was no exception to the rule,
where Cameron Sherwood OF Seat
tie, vice president OF the King coun-
ty republican central committee was
the main speaker. His address on
Lincoln contained many references
to the strikingly similar conditions
then and now.
"The present administration has
by indecisiye indirection, haphazard
governmental experimentalizatio
and spectacular attempts at consti-
tutional innovation, damaged the
country enough" Sherwood said.
I'VE as a party must take hold.
When the chief executive either act
lively or covertly threatens to UNI
dermine our primary, foundational
institutions, we become an awaken
ed nation.
when fundamental liberties and
rights accorded states and individ-
uals traditionally are swept away
or threatened by autocratic procla-
nation and edicts or by laws coerc-
ed from supine congress under ex-
ecutive must orders, we stand up
ard fight"
Sherwood concluded his address
to the group with another quota
ton from Lincoln" With steady eye
on the real issues, let us inaugurate
the good old central ideas Of the re-
public" and, as a final tribute TO
Lincoln, Edwin M Stanton's words
at Lincoln's bier were repeated:
There lies the most perfect ruler OF
men the world has ever SEEN"
Mrs. Alex Parke OF White Bluffs
told Of the women's part in our na-e
tional policies. III. w. Desgranges
acted as toastmaster for the oc-
casion, which was attended by near
ly a hundred people from all parts
Of the county, in spite OF the very
inclement weather. About rs went
from Kennewick.

TO FIX BRIDGE

Bids are being called by the state
highway department for the repair
ing of the Kennewick-Pasco high
way bridge. The work in contem-
plation called for new concrete deck
ing and a replacing Of the piling
with pier construction on both ends
Of the structure. The approximate
cost is estimated at $3.50. 900 and the
work will take the better part Of a
year, It is expected. It is hoped to
have the pier project completed
while the river Is ct q low stage.

zens of both the Negro and white
races. It has been able to gain
and maintain the respect of the
Community Chest and it's officials,
and has made for itself a perma-
nent place in the social work
scheme of ST. Paul.
The Halle @. Brown House has
become a necessity in the life of
the hundreds of boys, girls, men
and women who use the facilities
offered at the institution.
The Annual Dinners have always
been great social events for the
community because they offer the
one occasion during the year when
so many of the citizens get an OPP
portunity to sit down to break
bread in a friendly manner with a
common interest for the good of
the entire citizenry.
Miss I. Myrtle Garden, who is
director of the Community, has
lowered the cost of the banquet to
35 cents in order to make it conve-
nient for everyone to have dinner
at Halle @. Brown House on Val

airy 14th, at z p. m. The pageant
was written by Miss Laura jeffrey
and directed by Mrs. Louise Wood
ford, two of the workers at Halle

twenty-five people.
To some people seven years is
a very short while, to others it is
a long time, but to those people
who know social work and its many
obstacles, especially from the
standpoint of recreation and health
work, it is amazing to note the
many accomplishments of Halle Q.
Brown House in the short period
of seven years. Over this period
the house has gained for itself city
wide recognition, cooperation Of
private and public agencies, and
new friends among influential citi-
