with three civic organizations back
ing them.
The chamber Of commerce IS go
ing to support q local band. music
being one of the items this years
show was short ON, apparently. SAv-
eral Of the older ban1 players have
volunteered to revive the old town
band and guarantee to have the or
ganization in shape for next years
celebration.
For entertainment In the evenings
several projects are in preparation
for next years show. The Ktwanis
club has tentatively agreed to ar
range and operate q Happy Canyon
or some suchs event for all three
nights next year. In addition. a
definite promise Of a substantial dis
play of fireworks has been made by
the Shell Oil people. through the
local distributor, the Kennewick
Auto Co. This has long been a fea-
ture which the celebration commit
tee has wanted to have, but the cost
has been prohibitive.
A revival of the old booster or
ganization called the Coyote Club
is being talked Of with enthusiasm.
A feminine auxiliary has also been
promised if the group gets under
way. It is planned to have it made
up of local boosters who will have
charge of the outside advertising
the Kangaroo Kourt and such
features of the entertainment.
The fire department is also nego-
tiating for the purchase Of a merry
go-round which has been in storage
for couple of years. With repaint-
ing and repair work the apparatus
should prove q valuable addition to
the entertainment feature Of the
celebration.
These features, with more varied
program in the arena should make
next years entertainment the best
one this district has ever attempted.

First Settler Rides
Horse in Local
Pioneer Parade
Weather Puts Crimp in
Entries and Attendance
Pictures Increase

The weather Monday darn near
ruined the pioneer parade and pic
mic reunion and cut down terribly
on the number Of spectators, but
eventually the parade got under
way and was one Of the outstanding
events of the entire celebration.
Not q motor was in the line. All
the equippages were horse drawn
and were in true pioneer style. There
were all sorts Of old-fashioned bug
gies, surries,. carts, wagons and
farm equipment and spectators got
big thrill out Of seeing the old
style transportation facilities.
In the line Of march was Mrs.
Rosencrans, who lived on the first
farm in what is now Benton county.
She came In 1880 and has lived in
the area since that time. She sat on
q horse in the parade and was as
clipper as any Of the other riders.
One of the features Of the parade
was the group Of early ettlers who
homesteaded in this section. A
surrisingly large number OF pres
ent-day residents went through the
hardships Of proving up on land to
win their homes.
DR.. Spaulding, himself q pioneer
here, was Of the opinion that the
Native Son" section Of the parade
was not so good. for he knew. init
mately, of at least thousand more
who should have been In the line.
However, this feature shows promise
of considerable, development and
might be worked into q decided
success.
All in all, the parade. and the
picnic following were deemed q sue
cess, and especial credit Is due to
the committees who have the sever
al features In charge. Everyone re-
GREETED that Penny" Ferrell, chair
man Of the pioneer group. was un-
able to be present during the cele-
bration, being confined to his home
by illness.
The picnic was held in the school
cafeteria on account Of the bad wea-
ther, where the old time pictures
were exhibited This feature Is
also growing in interest and many
new pictures were on display this
year.

Time in 46 Years

The last time Oscar Sonderman

ing the local celebration, when the
Sonderman home on the Kennewick

grandchildren, with one exception
visited the home place during the
holidays.
Carl Aune, brother OF Mrs. Som

ovich, Of Sheridan, Wyoming, were
among the guests, as were Mrs. Orla

lands were among the guests.
The visitors were loud in their
praise for the fine spirit shown by
the towns preparation and they en-
joyed the parades both days. The

ly impressed with our fine climate
and surroundings.

day. He stopped here on his way
from Yakima to Walla Walla, were
he is making personal appearances,
to do a little long distance telephon-

the movie actor had big car with

Big Crowd Sees
Good Show i'm
ROdeO Arena
Frank Wood Champ Cow
boy; Day Sees No
Casualties

While the celebration this year
attracted the largest crowd ever
seen in Kennewick, the total at
tendance at the arena was slightly
below the peak reached last year.
The two cold, raw days, Sunday and
Monday, cut down on the attend
ance on those days, and while Tues
day saw the stands almost COM
pletely filled, there were not admis-
sions enough to reach the peak OF
last year in total.
Hundreds Of people thronged the
park, the streets and private homes
during the day and all In all IL was
the best celebration ever staged
here. There were no casualties
other than minor injuries at the
arena and young lad getting hit
instead Of hubby with wild pitch
with rolling pin.
After the first two days OF peace
and quiet the stands came TO life
Tuesday and did a rushing business.
All the concessions did well and the
games and races attracted a lot or
attention. a
In the arena Frank Wood OF Yaki-
ma was awarded the championship
Of the Inland Empire as best all
around cowboy, receiving the high
est number OF points during the
three-day contest. Gene Pruett OF
Yakima and Buck Tiffin Of Dayton
went into the finals In the bronc
riding tied for points. Tiffin drew
Challenger in the finals and earned
more points than Pruett with his
ride on White Pelican.
G. g. Coe OF Hooper took third
place with his ride in the finals on
Tollgate. Warde Larsen drew
Freckles in the finals. Lyle Simme-
Link, out OF the money because he
was dumped, attempted to ride Con-
clusion, as he was the only horse
left in the finals. The horse main
tanned his local unbroken record
and Lyle, after a beautiful begin
ming, didn't manage TO stay the ten
seconds. Fans got thrill out of
the performance, however, and the
local rider got a big hand.
For the final day money, the
judges split the fund four ways.
Pruett, Coe and Herb and Pat Owens
getting first money, followed by De-
Moss Bergevin OF walla walla and
Frank Wood. Buck Bunell, Stem
son and Joe Svatonsky finished In
that order In the days bulldogging,
but Herb Owens took three-day
honors with fraction OF q second
better time than Stenson. Svaton-
sky finished third In this event.
The calf roping contest showed
that Horse Heaven calves develop
speed and finesse almost equal 10
that OF the mounted ropers, In many
casts being slick enough TO get clean
away. They soon learn the ropes as
it were. The longhorns, especially
imported for the rodeo events, prov
ed speedy on the soft field too. and
the horses had a hard job getting
their riders close enough TO tackle
them.
The wild COW milking race against
time provided lot OF run for the
spectators, and few minor in
juries to the participants, Most or
the contestants made hard work
OF it. especially the long sprint in
high heeled shoes back TO the stands.
The exhibition was good through
out the three days under the man
agement Of Rock" Richmond, and
the finals were real exciting events.
the best horses and riders having
been matched for this feature.

Dorothy Dix Says
Children Are Unappreciative Due
To Poor Training by Parents

fancy up the finer qualities Of con-
duct, just as We have to be taught
how to eat properly Our emotions
have to be cultivated as Tell as our
attitudes toward others.
And only too often parents ig-
more this fact. They think that chill
dren's love and gratitude to their
parents comes naturally and that
they do not have to teach it to them.
Particularly do they believe that
the flllal virtues will develop in
them magically along toward ma
turity. even if they have been lack
ing in the youngsters.
But this never happens. Parents
establish in the cradle how their
children are going to treat them.
If from their first conscious knowl-
edge Johnny and Susie are taught
to respect father and mother, to de-
fer to them. to admire them. to feel
that they have a duty toward them,
to consider mothers and father S
happiness and pleasure, as long as
they live they will keep their par
ents on a pedestal. But if mother
and father let Johnny and Susie
beat them with their baby fists
and talk back to them when they
are older and defy them, and if
mother and father deny themselves
everything to give to Johnny and
Susie, then Johnny and Susie will
walk roughshod over them when
they are grown.
LAS you SOW, so shall you reap is
never so true about anything else
as it is about the way you rear chill
dren. If parents implant in their
children's minds no seed of duty
toward them they can expect to
gather no bouquet of flial love from
them. DOROTHY DIX.

Complexion
for
Summer
Plenty of Exercise
And Correct Diet
Aid to Beauty
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The girl or woman who has an
oily complexion and an oily scalp
has hard job trying to look and
feel we'll groomed during the hot
weather.
To begin with. an oily condition is
caused by an over-supply of oil exud-
ing from the pores. and then the
heat opens pores wider permitting
flooding No amount of powder
seems to absorb the secretion and,
in fact, a girl makes mistake by
dabbing powder on her face con-
stantly during hot weather. She is
only clogging her pores, enlarging
them and destroying skin beauty.
Incorrect diet and lack of proper
exercise are probably at the root of
the condition. Both causes should
be corrected AS many as eight
glasses of cool not icedD water each
day, may be helpful.
The daily use of an astringent
skin tonic may help you, along with
your regular cleansing treatment
Of frequent soap and water. Each
outstanding cosmetic house sells a
tonic for oily skin and I am sure
that the girl at your local cosmetic
counter will help you to intelligently
select one for your problem. Such an
astringent is used after a soap-and-
water cleansing before makeup and
it should not contain too high a per-
centage of alcohol or you will find
yur skin getting creepy.
Some of the leading houses have
an astringent liquid powder founda-
ton in several shades, which serves
two purposes. 1t tends to keep your
pores normal size and it also serves
as your face powder if you select
it in a shade to match your current
skin tone. You may use a speck
Of rouge over it and any shade of
lipstick you wish. It is thin enough
to allow your pores normal action
and at the same time restraints them
from discharging secretions too
freely. Many women find such a
foundation a boon to beauty in hot
weather.
There are two English products
available which are unique in their
service, one is an anti-shine powder
and the other is an anti-shine liquid.
These are put on over any skin
astringent or tonic and under make
up. They are mixed especially to
keep women from going around with
very shiny nose! OF course they
may be used on the forehead and
chin also, if you do perspire there,
and very small dab of either
seems t2 do what it is supposed to
do!
If you are one who likes to mix
things at home and try them out,
can give you the formula for a
cleansing lotion for oily skin and
one for an astringent lotion. They
are simple to mix and may meet
your complexion needs, but 1 do
honestly believe that the prepared
commercial lotions and astringents
have greater value. However, a self
addressed envelope, bearing a 3-cent
stamp will bring these two recipes
to you-write me care of this paper
and ask for the Oily Skin Treat
ment Leaf1et. It Is free.
