School Lighting
is Discussed by
County Nurses

The regional meeting Of Public
Health Nurses held in Spokane Fri
day, December proved to be very
profitable, reported Miss Dietz
Special stress was laid on school
lighting and a point was made that
not all electrically equipped schools
provided adequate lighting. Var
ious groups thruout the United
States have lately recommended q
minimum Of Is foot candles in the
school room.
There was a lecture given on d.
seases Of the eye. and the merits OF
vision testing methods used in the
schools by the teachers and nurses
were discussed.
Saturday morning the four nurses
from the Southeastern section OF the
state, Miss Mickey, Klicldtat county;
Miss Stauffacher, Grant county;
Miss Preston, Franklin County and
Miss Dietz, Benton County, were
shown the Spokane County Health
office. This was most interesting,
as they are doing an excellent piece
Of public health work.
The county nurse advises that
especially those children who are
thin or listless be allowed the hot
dish at school. ability to pay might
bar many child who would bene-
fit by a hot dish at school.

.MOultOn Warns
of Rising Cost of
Social Security

A warning that social security
work in this state must be kept down
to a point where taxpayers will be
able to support the program was
made Tuesday by Mark Moulton,
state representative-elect, at q meet
ing Of the Prosser Commercial club
He said he believed the conserva-
tive group Of legislators will be able
to control the next session.
"It is impossible for the business
life Of this state to continue II pres
ent plans Of social security lead
ers are carried out in full" Moul-
ton said. I'VE must shape the pro-
gram to tit the ability Of the public
to pay"
The greatest needs are for pub
lie understanding Of the legislative
problems and backing for legisla-
tors in sane program, he asserted.
He urged residents to take a genu-
inc interest in the legislative pro-
gram. District problems should not
be upheld for legislative aid to a
point where things Of wider inter-
est vii have 10 be discarded Tor lack
Of funds, he said.

Financial Dilemma
OfSchOOlS Heard
at w. E. "A. Meet

The winter session OF Benton
County Education Association was
held in the English Lutheran church
Tuesday evening. The banquet was
served by the ladies OF the church
and the Christmas motif was car
ried out In the decorations.
Music for the program was fur
nished by Charles Asbury, who sang
two vocal numbers accompanied by
Miss Virgil Hopkins and also two
numbers given by the Schubert Club,
accompanied by Miss Eva Elefson
and directed by Mr.. ASbury.
The Benton county delegates TO
the Washington Education associa-
ton convention which was held in
Tacoma during Thanksgiving va
cation gave reports on the conven-
ton. These delegates were Miss
Green OF Benton City and Mr.. Fris-
by of ProSser. A few words OF CO.
operative work were offered by Mr..
Garfield OF Yakima, who is preSi-
dent OF class room teachers Of the
w. E. A.
Jack Campbell, superintendent
OF schools at Selah and president OF
the Washington Education associa-
ton was the main speaker OF the
evening. His address centered on the
financial dilemma Of schools at the
present time and what would be the
necessary measures for the next
legislature TO participate In order TO
carry on the work of the schools. As
brought out by Mr.. Campbell many
people do not realize the situation
of the schools throughout the state.
The only year that the schools were
given the full amount Of the rev.
enue as provided by law was in
1867. In view of the fact that the
schools were attaining the full mea-
sure of the law the legislature OF
1897 diverted some 16 or IL per-
cent of school revenue TO other
sources feeling that increased bus
mess would more than make up for
the difference. Instead Of having
an increase in business there was q
business recession. Even the old
percentage of the general revenues
would not have given the schools
their share of the money, and due
to the continued business recession
the prospects this year are much
darker than year ago. Therefore,
as Mr.. Campbell brought out, the
future OF the schools lies squarely
on the shoulders of this legislature.
Superintendent e. S. Black states
that in the Kennewick district q
year ago the state in basic appor-
tionment and equalization was short
approximately $4,000 on the APP
portionments as required by law.
The district was fortunate TO have
lived the budget by several thous-
and dollars. consequently the deficit
in the local district was not nearly
as great as the shortage by the
state. MIR. Black also says that in
the present deficiency the return or
apportionment in this district viii
probably be short some $4,000 In
this years apportionments alone un-
less some remedy is applied before
June 30, 1899, as that Is the close OF
the school fiscal year.

-Year-Old Car
Gets a White Slip
After Inspection

Not all the old cars one sees on
the highways are unsafe to drive OF
meet, despite the general condem-
nation.
A 1925 Chevrolet, owned by A.
OVERLY passed the state inspection
this week and was given a white
slip.
A. M. Swanson of Richland took
his 1928 Willys-knight through the
examination this week and he, too,
was given q white tag.
AS q matter of fact, most of the
cars now taking the inspection have
no difficulty in securing the white
tag, and more than half the re-
manning cars are given the passed
sticker for very minor corrections.
Officials in charge Of the free
state inspection point out that the
station will only be In this vicinity
for q comparatively short period
and the sooner the examination Is
made the easier 1t will be to Sc
cure the white tag. Later perhaps
q much longer trip win be required
to go through the lane again.
The examination is. mandatory
under the state law. After the first
Of the year any car without the
white tag becomes an unlawful We
hicle" and the operator becomes IL
able to conviction Of q gross mis-
demeanor.+ Ten days after the red
seal is affixed, the operator be-
comes liable under charge OF OPP
Grating an .'unsafe" car, which also
carries q penalty.
