In the short talk to the clubmen,

said, stood for knowledge; was the
personal effort; w, for we, meant
cooperation; the A stood for assist
ance; the N for nurture and the S
for service-ttle whole covering the

merce committee last night when
she is host to the ttiTtieth annual
Washington Irrigation Institute
There is much work of importance
to this area and the program will be
one of outstanding interest to bust
nessmen land farmers alike" he said.
Mr.. Stapleton was here to furth-
er plans which develope when the as
sociation cancelled the cancellation
of the invitation issued last winter.
The hedging was due to fears that
the town would be unable to accom-
odate the two or three hundred who
are expected to attend the two-day
sessions of the institute.
'You have better THAN average
facilities for the entertainment of
such a group" Mr.. Stapleton told
the committee members. You nave
two or three places where such a
gathering could hold their sessions
the high school auditorium, the
theatre or the dining room of the
Kennewick Hotel, for instance. Much
the same thing applies to the feed
ing Accommodations" MIR. Stapleton
still remembers the big crowd that
enjoyed a previous gathering where
about four hundred people were
banqueted at the Highlands club
house. ~
The program promises to be an
outstanding one, too. In addition to
the governor, the director the
federal reclamation department will
be present as well as outstanding

CANNING SUGAR

The question most frequently
asked the rationing board is how
much sugar are we to be allowed
for canning, and from information
received by the ration board to-
day (May 26th) the amount of
sugar for canning purposes will
be one pound for each four quarts
of fruit processed last year, sub
tracing the amount now on hand.
Parties making application for
canning sugar must have this in
formation at the time of making
application. They should also pre-
sent their war rationing book. The
amount of sugar allowed for jams
and jelly is one pound per per-
son for the year.

Three men from Pasco had an
exciting experience Monday when
their car took off the highway west

bank and landing in water which
all but covered the car. Two of the
men suffered broken ribs and Sc
we're bruises anu the other a badly
cut hand as a result of the accident.
Lloyd Coffee, Is, and George Bur-
Hiss, 81, ARE in the hospital at Pasco,
while the other man, Bud Arbogast,
driver of the car, has the cut hand.
This injury was suffered in breaking
the car window rescuing the 9TH

the car door open. They were haul

jured, although not unconscious.
Death from drowning could have
easily resulted by delay in rescue.
The accident was caused from
"a too severe swerve in attempting
to miss another car backing out of a
driveway onto the highway, the
driver losing control or by mechani-
cal defect.
Seems to have been ar-dunking

Wapato found the ditchbank too

into the canal a couple of miles
west of town. The driver, Arlie Os-
borne, hurt his arm in the accident,
but the other youth was not injured.

County Hopes

Utica, Glass D champion at
East Detroit, went through q.
mediocre season, losing nine
games out of 10 in the Bi-County,
league. They turned up with a.
surprise victory over Lake Shore
in their final engagement prior
to the tournament, however, and
then added Fast Detroit to their
list In their one game in the,
tournament; they drew q bye I'M
the opening round.
Their first game, at Ferndale's
Lincoln High tomorrow, is slated:
for 6 o'clock with the Uticany

Eastland, ending the Bi-Countye
schedule in second place, lost
three Its in the league, and won!
two games in taking the Class c
title, also at East Detroit. War.

NO DRAFT PREFERENCE

to Moriarty, but the sport alb.

pire knows a host of baseball
tales which never reach the pub

Such is the case with George
Moriarty, former American
league player, manager and
scout who spoke yesterday be-
fore the Kiwanis club and show
ed the American Leagues Off
cial film THE Ninth Inning,
dedicated to Lou Gehrig.
RETIRED IN 1910
Moriarty, who retired in 1910
as an arbiter, can draw upon a
wealth of stories, tragic and hui
morous, for his anecdotes and
does. For example, there's Ted
Williams, Boston's .406 hitter
last year. Williams has al
ways been just a kid" Moriarty
relates. Three years ago l was
working a game and he was up.
Thirty thousand people there, a
Saturday afternoon Williams is
up, see, and he fans at the first
one. Then he turns around,
George he says, you know
what I want you to do. Every
ball, whether / swing at it or
not, I want you to tell me where
it was. High, low, inside or out.
"Well, 10000 people, and he's
holding up the whole game. Mr..
Williams, / said, maybe you'd
like me to bring a bookkeeper
and an accountant out here, too,
to keep track.
"He turned back around. 'Aw,
hell he said"
BIG HAPPY KID
Williams was the big lanky
American Lacquer with the
steel-like wrists who broke up

polling out a home run. Pictures
of the game, featured in the
film, show him racing to first,
where he realized he had a
homer. From there to second
he ran and clapped and jumped
