thirty members. will journey to Ell

Minstrel Parade by Kleppman, "The
Traveller Overture" by Buchtel and
Robin Hood Fantasy" by Brock
ton. The uniform worn by band
members will be white trousers or
skirts, white sweaters over white
shirts and blouses with the band
letter emblem plainly in view. This
is the same uniform that was used
last year, and the Kennewick band
had the distinction of being one of
the best dressed bands in the meet
last year.
The personnel of the band is as
follows: clarinets, Gordon lille,
Sidney Brownell, Robert Neuman,
Don Aman, Claude Shattuck, John
Hughes, Irene Pace and Norma
Berg; saxophones, Dave Wooden,

Pioneer Promoter
of Real Estate
Passes Suddenly

Howard S.. Anon, pioneer real
estate promoter of this community,
passed away at his home in Eugene,
Oregon, Saturday following three
day illness from a heart attack. He
was So years of age. his birthplace
being at Athena, Oregon, on August
10, 1877.
Mr.. Anon was responsible for
much of the beginning of Kenne-
wick, coming here in 1902, and or
ganizing the Kennewick Hardware
company and Kennewick's first
bank, The Exchange Bank. He
then began his business as real
estate promoter when he purchas-
ed the lots between the Kennewick
Hotel and the canal, known as
Amon's addition to the city. A few
years later Mr.. Anon moved his
family to Richland and began the
Richland town site, first of all Or
ganizing the Benton Water company
and constructed Richards canal,
thus establishing an irrigation Sys-
tenn. He also donated land to Rich
land known as the Anon Park.
Wherever he went he was always
looking into the future of the COM
munity in which he resided. After
leaving Richland he had been resi-
dent in Seattle, New York, Portland
and for the past five years had been
in the real estate business in Eu-
gene. Mr.. Anon, in cooperation
with the county engineer, was pro-
noting an irrigation project which
had proven quite successful for
dairymen in that vicinity. He also
had purchased tract of land just
out of the city and completed the
construction of eight new houses and
was contracting the building of
others at the time of his death.
Surviving him are his widow;
son, Arthur H. Anon, White Plains,

School District is
Working Out Plans
for New Buses
Board thinks six modern
buses could be purchlas-
ed out of present bud
get; state to help

At special session of the scl1oo
board held Thursday morning with
the local school bus drivers, the
problem of transportation was dis.
cussed. The problems of whether
the district should own and operate
the fleet of buses or whether II
should contract with individuals tt
buy and operate such buses were
given the most consideration during
the meeting.
The district at present is definite
ly faced with the problem of having
to get more new equipment that will
meet the state requirements for bus
transportation. At present the dis
riot cost per year for transportation
is approximately $11,500 a year or
16R % of our total budget This cost
is now approximately 49s higher
than it should be and is taking some
of the funds that should ordinarily
go into other phases of our educa-
ton.
In a survey of the seven routes
now run by the older pieces of
equipment it appeared they could
be combined into six routes with
BUSES of the So passenger type.
Looking at it from the districts an
gle the school administration feels
that if we owned our fleet of six
BUSES that we could operate for
$500 per year, but in order to buy
the BUSES on five year lease-ren-
tai plan, which can be done in this
state, We would have to pay $4,000
per year not to exceed six payments.
Another advantage in district
owned BUSES is the fact that the
state makes an annual allowance of
ten percent of the purchase price to
the district to be added to the oper-
alton cost, of which half is return
ed. In other words, the state pays
for one-half Of the districts invest
ment in buses.
At the end of this time the buses
would become the property of the
district and the five thousand dol
lar payment would be relinquished,
leaving our bus system then to be
operated at much lesser cost than
at present. The administration
feels that this could be accomplish
ed out of our present operating cost |
with out asking any additional
funds from the district.
Looking at it from the individual
ownership side it would be almost
for individuals to buy
standard BUSES that would meet the
state requirements at the present |
time without an expenditure of ap-
$4,000 for each piece of
equipment. The district cannot
contract with an individual for long
er than one year period. Then in
order to contract with an individual
80 that he could purchase such q
piece Of equipment our present costs
would have to be decidedly increas-
ed which our budget at present will
not permit.
The problem as it presents itself
to the administration is either the
district should own and operate the
BUSES with our present revenues or
contract for individuals with an in
creased cost which would require q
special levy of approximately two
mills for several years.
A public hearing on next years
budget will be held on April 25th.
At this time opportunity will be
given for further discussion on the
problem and statistics will
be available for a full and complete
Investigation of the angles of the
problem. .s-.. ...E -.s

LIGHT AND SAFETY

I'm recent years, about 80 per cent of
the accidental deaths in the United States
occurred in the supposed security of the
home. according to a national safety or
ganization. It has been found that a great
many home accidents which result in death
or serious disability are caused through lack
Of proper lighting.
house adequately lighted with con-
venent fixtures and controlling switches
affords protection against accident. The
substitution of modern electric wiring for
the out-m0ded variety may prevent fires. A
sufficient number of electric outlets to care
for dangling electric wires or those left
wing on floors for the use OF radios, lamps
and equipment may offset the possibility
C dangerous falls.
In finishing floors safeguarding
AGAINST possible slipping and resultant dan
gerous accidents should be considered.
Steps and stairs we'll planned, with ratings
or banisters, and we'll lighted, may mean
protection to life and limb.
Stoves, heating plants, water heaters,
etc. should rot represent fire hazards, and
care must be taken to guard against burns
and fire from these household necessities.
Every possible safeguard against acct
dents in the home is well worth the money
and effort expended.

CARE OF THE TEETH

Forgotten teeth-milliOns of them
are sapping the energy of vast numbers of
Americans, according to the Dental In
stitute, Z national organization devoted to
oral hygiene.
There are at least 100 million decayed
teeth in the mouths of the % million school
children, it is declared, the average of these
imperfect teeth ranging from four to six per
child.
These are referred to as the forgotten
teeth because neglect is complete until
serious trouble develops in the court of time.
Some progress is being made among
parent-teacher and other groups in the way
Of bringing enlightenment to mothers says
the Institute, which stresses the importance
of proper diet as strongly as it does the daily
and professional care of teeth.
Give the child codiver oil, orange
Juice, other fresh fruits and vegetables, and
plenty Of milk and sunshine" advises the
Institute, which comprises leading practic-
ing dentists throughout the country. Such
a diet will help keep teeth strong. 1t will
not straghten malplaced teeth, nor make
healthy those decayed, but it will help to
prevent decay in sound teeth.
Of the two million babies born in the
United States each year, not more than ten
per cent are given care which will assure
healthy teeth in adult life. Oral neglect in
childhood usually is followed by similar
neglect in adult years, until infection from
teeth begins sapping vitality, sending poison
through the system and causing a variety of
serious ailments from rheumatism to heart
disease.

LOOK FOR THE COMET

If you are anxious to observe a comet
you ought to be able to crafty your wish
tonight by looking westward, where Cum
ningham's comet is expected to be visible
for several weeks.
We haven't seen the celestial visitor
ourselves but the astronomers tell us it is
visible and We have learned, long ago, not
TO dispute the astronomers. Best views can
be obtained just after darkness, when the
head of the comet will be high in the West

UNIONS AND FEES

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the
President. deserves commendation for her
suggestion that an investigation be made to
determine whether high initiation fees, al
legedly charged by unions, are interfering
with the right of individuals to work.
The matter came to light when
migrant worker asserted that he was re-
fused an electrical job because he was not
union man and that he did not have the
money to pay the unions initiation fee,
which was about $500.
The United States has gone forward
in its efforts to protect the basic rights of
labor but this should not be permitted to
degenerate into something like a monopoly
fer certain members of existing unions.
While it is proper for union to have an
Initiation fee, there should be some super
vision to prevent the sum from being ex-
ceSSive.

FIGHT FOR YOUR GOAL
BY ELLA CURRY

When the world seems against
you in everything you do,
When health and friends seems
to 60 against you, be careful
in what you say and do.
When the cares of the world seem
to cover you, don't give up.
God will take care of you.
When discouraged and lonely and
rugged seems the way, fight
harder in your work and play.
This world is made of trouble,
each must have his share of
the load;
If yours seems havier, it is just
that you'll have to fight hard

Bill Guilty?

A S the dining room cleared, Mr.

for a word with Bill, came for
ward to guide Mr.. DodSon to the
library.
"Wait a moment" / whispered
to my husband, there's something

wish somebody would tell Bob
something" he complained, dig
ging for his cigarette case. Seems
to me he ought to have sense
enough to know this is not the
time to try to drink up all the
liquor in sight"
'It's all Ewes fault" I excused.
"But why should he let himself
in for such things?" Bill grum-
bled. why can't he use a little
sense?"

you are, darling" reminded him,

case as though it, too. had failed

Perhaps it won't take so long"
said Roberts, and something in his
voice caused me to look at him
quickly, but his expression was
unrevealing."
"You mean you've got some
thing?" asked Mr.. Dodson, who
had also caught that note of what
might have been restrained ey-
element.
Suppose we 60 along to the
other room," Roberts suggested,
leading the way. and Mr.. Mar

arm, prepared to follow.

Lets wait and see," said Mr..
Marshall, giving me a little pat
on the shoulder. Anyway. don't
worry. Everything is going to be
all right soon"
Which, of course, is just what
one would expect from a family
friend and legal adviser. But it
made all the more astounding
what he came back to tell me a
little later.
Just how much later it was do
not know, for the day. which at
times seemed to fly, at others
seemed to drag on leaden feet.
Eve evidently had gone directly
upstairs from the dining room.
Claire had excused herself soon
after we went into the library and,
I think, had also started upstairs,
but Bob, rising quickly to his feet,
had followed her from the room
