Lions Out to Win
From League Leaders

Basketball fans will have an op-
portunity to see. what might be
termed championship game to-
morrow friday night, when Top
penish comes here to tangle with
the Lions. These teams have al
ready played one game this season,
the Lions losing by one point. With
a win, the home towners viii be
tied with the league leaders, with
each losing one game to the other.
The three high teams in this con-
ference will go to Yakima in March
to enter the district tournament, and
local fans figure that the Lions are
a cinch for position at least. But
they also figure on taking Toppen-
ish in revenge for the loss of their
other game.

Whose SnapperS?

We've never heard Of but one man
who could eat apples without teeth.
There's another man somewhere in
the community who perhaps would
like to eat apples, but can't without
teeth. And the joke Of it is we
know where his teeth are-even If
he doesn't. They're in the printing
office window, and if he wants 'em.
have him come along. Personally,
we can't use 'em.
In our lost and found department
in the window, we have a pair of
specs, a key ring and chain, a flock
of pictures taken at the Pendleton
Roundup and lot Of other junk
found at various times and places
No money, however!

What to do to bring romance
back to Benton county was a prob
lem facing members of the county
auditors staff Tuesday. They have

which the county has not issued

Sen. StinsOn Gets
Important Position
in Rules Committee
Writes that little Hope
for new roads is given
on account of military
construction

Senator Charles Stinson writes
that he has been placed on the i'm
portant Rules committee of the
state senate. This committee makes
UP the calendar for the senate and
is, he says the outstanding COM
mittee in that branch of the legis-
lature. He is also on the following
committees: Roads and bridges,
social security, corporations other
than municipal, rules and joint
rules, railroads and transportation,
reclamation and irrigation and In
Surance. .,.-.sr.. s>as.. .t--s r-g
The senator writes that he pre-
sented bill for eliminating the
Maryhill loop road but was told that
the estimates for this work amount
ed to $350,000 and it would be diff
cult, in the face of demands for mil
itary roads, to secure any such APP
preparation. 3.--
Numerous plans have been pre-
sented, he states, for raising the
funds for the elderly people as pro-
vided for in Initiative al. But as
yet no indication of what the legis-
lature will finally do has been
shown. -. ....- .-. 81 ..
The senator suggests that if read
ers will write, he will give such
information as is available on ques-
lions arising at this session.

HIGHWAY POST OFFICE

THE first rural free delivery service Of mail was
in 1895, and those were horse and wagon
days. The total daily mileage of the United States
service of As years ago about 30 miles. Rural
delivery grew very slowly because good roads
were few and far between in those days. Today
more than million rural mail boxes are scattered
across the country.
A new and efficient mail service is in operation
between Washington, ID. C.. and llarriSOnburg, Vil-
ginia, a distance of 40 miles. In the pomp and
ceremony of launching the system the u. S. Post
Office Department hailed the "HighWay Post
Office as a companion-piccc Of the railway mail
service.
The first "HighWay Post Office" consists of a
specially equipped motor bus in which mail mess
angers perform the same services in sorting and
mail as the railway mail service. The
experiment will be supplemented by other routes
designed to test out different types of vehicles and
special accessories adaptable to the work.
There are l8 thousand communities in the
United States that completely lack railroad ser
vice. Most Of these communities have been served
by motor trucks carrying mail sorted in city post
offices, and dropped of at local post Offices on the
routes.
Those mail carriers have covered more than
1852 40 miles each scheduled day with THEN
automobiles and trucks and rendered regular ser
vice for % million individuals. The "Highwa}
Post Office is an important factor in the develop
ment of the finest postal system in the World.

Secretary Ornburn has continually
urged that housewives, especially
among members of Women's Auxili-
aries, demand the union label on all
products. He is especially anxious to
increase a quick demand for a new
product upon which the union label is
displayed. There is nothing that will
encourage fair manufacturers more
than to obtain increases sales immedi-
ately after they have signed a union
label agreement, he points out.
