Probably one of the biggest thrills
Coach Jones had during his high

ors which would appear to favor de-
velopment of a farm chemurgic pro-
gram in this area.
In general, industry chooses its
location with regard to one or more
essential factors; nearness to center
of market where distribution costs
are smallest, as the garment indus
try in New York; nearneSs to raw
material, as the steel industry in
Pennsylvania and the Great Lakes
areas; nearness to essential fuel OF
power, as the aluminium industry
where large quantities of low-cost
electric energy are available.
These considerations, naturally
limit the number of large industries
which normally are likely to locate
in the Pacific Northwest in the near
future. But they do not preclude
the development here, at the source
of large quantities of agricultural
raw materials, of numerous small in
dustries engaged in farm chemurgic
enterprises.
lit looks like a chance to do two
things at once-boost the income of
the farm population and stabilize the
economy of the region through ad-
ded industrial payrollS.

Training
While We are on the subject of
football or any type of interscho-
lastic athletics we find it quite fit
ting at this time to bring up the
age-old problem of training. The
school coaches anad the fans want
the KenneWick Lions to have a good
tough ball team and in order to do
so players must make personal sac
rifices for the team. Some members
of the Kennewick team are not
training religiously.. Those of you
who are not, and you are being
seen, are not carrying your load and
its about time you assume the re-
sponsibility which is yours and start
training. Don't expect your team
mate to carry your load. They have
their own to carry. This scribe would
like to see. the promiscuous breaking
of training dispensed with by all
would-be Kennewick footballers. So
much for the training. My advice to
YOU is, if the shoe fits, wear it and
try to alleviate the pinching by liv-
ing up to training rules.

urday is the last day to remedy
faulty lights, brakes, etc. For those
finding it impossible to go through

there is permanent lane in walla

urges immediate correction of the

but for drivers of other cars.
Officer Chapman and the other
members of the testing lane wish
to thank the community for its
promptness in going through the
lane and to the city police for its
cooperation in placing flares nightly
in the lane and other help when
needed.

FROM
THE PEOPLE

Dear Editor:
Why don't you print more infor-
nation about the local port district?
Seems like the taxpayers who vot-
ed the $4,000 bond issue should
know about what is going on, and
who made possible the previous bond
issue of ten or twelve thousand dol
lars. Are they going to build rail-
road spur and when? When will the
port be ready to use? Why is all the
Horse Heaven wheat going to Vista2
Wasn't that what the port was to be
used for?
Why didn't Kennewick get those
oil tanks they are now building on
the other side of the river? And the
grain elevator, too. What was the
matter with the local port officials2
Were they asleep at the switch and
let somebody else run away with
these things after our port was al
ready established and supposedly
ready to go?

Joe had guessed right. Swami behaved him
self and tended to business. He did give an
interview to the papers, predicting that he'd
hit $50 or better. and that we d win the pen
nant by good country mile now that we had
him to show us the way; but that sort of CUFF
didn't harm anybody, even if it didn't exactly
earn Swami an A in modesty.
The writer's gave him big play - too
big for his own good. Naturally an expensive
rookie is news, and when he shows signs of
being pop-of, the gentlemen of the press
listen respectfully and take down all he SAYS,
if only to show him up as chump Swami,
cocky and full of conceit, looked like gold
mine to the writing men. His clothes alone
we're good for column on dull day.
AND that was something of novelty to
the boys who cover our doings We aren't
what you'd call colorful outfit; we're Just
businessmen whose business happens to be
baseball and we go about our work without
any Fourth of July stuff. Joe sets the pace for
the club, and while he looks like something
right out of the comics, he acts more like the
chairman of the board of some company than
the manager of team that wins pennants
just about as often as it loses them
The sports writer's aren't exactly nuts about
Joe. They call him the Irish Sphinx or the
Big Grunt-and- Monosyllable Man, things
like that and when he pulls boner, which
isn't often, they shout with childish glee as
they jump all over him. In way you can't
blame them too much. Joe sticks to the dug
out like he was chained to the bench, and
when he gives an interview he let's the report

II Short Story Complete in This Issue

1t was the day before camp opened and
- was standing in the hotel lobby talking to
Ben Garfield, our road secretary, when he
breezed by. And l mean bresssd. He was
wearing an oversize turned-down Panama
that looked as big as the Capitol dome, a
blue -and-red blazer - so help me! - pair
of white flannels that must've had hundred
little pleats at the waist, and pair of tan
and-white shoes. A magenta silk scarf tied
around his throat completed the ensemble
He carried himself like guy that had just
inherited the world and was thinking of max
ing some extensive changes in the setup
"Wowr' said What's that?"
That" Ben said, grinning, lis Swami,
our new second baseman."
Don't tell me that's the guy we paid a
hundred grand for?"
mot to mention three promising farm
hands"
We've been robbed"
well, atleast he's colorful."
THE boys will razz him right out of camp
when they get load of that outfit"
IF he's as good as they say he is," Ben
said, he can 60 around in sarong."
You see, we'd finished four games out of
first place the year before, and our failure
to cop was due almost entirely to the collapse
of Art Helmke at second. Twelve years in the
majors, and the infirmities of the flesh had
finally caught up with Art. His batting aver
age had fallen from stylish .324 in '39 to
dowdy .2O8 in 40. Joe would have benched
him if it hadn't been for the fact that every
body we tried in his spot made Art look like
frankie Frisch in his prime.
So nobody was bowled over when the club
announced that it was giving the Hollywood
Stars hundred grand and three Double-A
players for Doug Swami. 1t was lot of
dough for twenty year old player but from
all the stories we'd heard, this Swami was
the class of the minor league second basemen.
and how we needed second baseman!
IF SWAMI was as good as he seemed to be -
he'd led the Coast League in batting as we'll
as fielding and been picked by the Sporting
News as the outstanding minor Lacquer of the
year - he would be gilt-edge investment.
The club stood to get good chunk of its cash
back just out of the curiosity it stirred up by
all the publicity he d got. But the first gander
got at him there in the hotel lobby didn't
look any too hopeful.
He didn't endear himself, either, with the
crack he made when he was introduced to
Art Helmke. Always glad to meet my prede-
