vened in Spokane. Delegates from

a report of what was generally rec
ognized to have been the best con-
vocation in many years with refer
ence to attendance and accomplish
ment. The church-wide campaign
under the head of go Forward in
Service" was definitely organized
and set in motion in this diocese.
An important resolution was passed
calling for legislation that will per-
NIT the release of school children
for certain time each week to re-
ceive religious instruction where so
desired and properly provided for
so that credit can be given for such
work toward the school diploma.

made by school authorities and
churches in many of the eastern
states and cities. Another resolu-
ton called upon state authorities to
remove any legal obstacles to the
possession by public schools Of copies
of the Bible for reference purposes.
This action was called forth by the
fact that Spokane school authorities
had found themselves legally unable
to accept the proffer of copies of the
Bible by the Gideon Society for use

the next convocation, which will be
the 50th anniversary of the Diocese

Celebration on
Fourth to be
Better'n Ever
Rodeo, picnic, parades and
pioneer picnic with big
fireworks display are
now outlined ri

To most of us the Fourth is just
another day unless we have fire
works in some form, and this year
we are stepping out of the customary
bounds of no fireworks. The Chevro-
let garage and Shell Oil are putting
on beautiful show the night of the
4th that should thrill the youngest to
the oldest. In fact the entire three
days, beginning with the 4th are
crammed with excitement.
, Queen Tommy Simmelink, mount
ed on beautiful Palomino will
lead the royal procession.
Alfred Anon, reelected president
of the rodeo association confident
~ predicts the biggest celebration
in years. He has appointed several
committees who are already begin
ming to do their stuff and more are
put to work Howard McGhee. Eddie
Carpenter and Ed Weber on the
publicity committee have plans buzz
ing through their heads to see that
Kennewick's Fourth will reach the
far ends of the United States.
w. C. Knowles will settle any
wagon, car, buggy, horse or what
have you difficulties if you want to
enter the parade. Ed Tweedt will Of
ficiate .as secretary and treasurer
and Frank Visger, Brick Oliver and
Jack Turner as directors.
The arena will be under the ex-
perienced supervision of Pat Owens
winner of the 1885 Northwest
Roundup. So far the stock to be
used for the show has not been de-
cided, but we'll leave it to Pat to
pick the best-and the widest.
Loud shirts, hop skirts, Stetsons
chaps, spurs, whoops and yells-
let's make this Fourth something to
remember-until next year.
