Many Compliments on
Street Decorations

Nothing but compliments have
been heard about the Christmas
street decorations which were COM
pleted yesterday. The big wreaths
on the light poles and the illrminat-
ed street crossings present very
pretty sight, especially after dark,
when the vari-colored lights show
UP best. This display was made pos
sible by the splendid cooperation OF
the Kennewick business houses.
The decorations were supplied by
the Washington Flag and Decorat-
ing Co., the firm that put up the
decorations for the Fourth celebra-
ton. The greenery is helping
counteract the weather in bringing
to mind the nearness of the holi-
day season, and when the stores get
their Christmas windows fixed up
the effect will be even more pleas
ing.

Highanders Have Deer
Roaming Back Fields

There's a half-grown deer run
ming around on the Highlands. Half
dozen of so of us saw it this aft
srnoon, so it must be so.
Chief of Police Mitch Kershaw
got word of it this morning and he
picked up the local press photogra-
pher and movie tycoon Howard Nc
Ghee and went for a look. The deer
was spotted in a grape vineyard just
vest of the Moret place on the High
lands. 1t was lying down and as the
photographer slowly walked to-
ward it, its ears Waggled and it's
nose wiggled like a rabbits.
The animal let the photographer
get to within about fifty feet before
taking to its heels down the row,
bounding as if on springs.
Neighbors in that area report hav-
ing seen the animal a couple of
weeks ago in nearly the same place.
They hope the dogs don't drive it
away.
