Hello, everybody Curley Top
comes to you again in his weekly
column with news and views of the
150th ON Truck Co.
Congratulations!
First of all, 1 wish to congratulate
the men of our company who have
recently received promotions. Un-
der the provisions of AR 615-5, the
following promotions were an
nounced on Dec. 4 Earnest Bar
rington from TIA to Technical Sgt;
William Crutchfield from TIA to
Sgt; Rinnes Thompson from Cpl to
Sgt; Robert j. Donaldson from T/5
to Sgt; Walter Alloway from T/5
to TIA; and John w. Plamore from
T/5 to TIA.
Nice going soldiers! Uncle Sam
is in need of good men and your
promotions indicate that you are
real soldiers. You are really doing
your part in this great struggle for
freedom.
On the Rifle Range
For the past few days the men of
this company have been going to
the Rifle Range, getting more prac-
tice with the 1903 Model rifle and
the carbine. To these men who
have recently completed their basic
training nOthe infantry, the firing
of rifles is not new, but everyone
put forth his best efforts and the
results were gratifying. Among the
top scorers were Alfred McKeithern;
Thomas Anderson, and William Gar
rick who made 1876, 189 and 1873, re-
Spectively, out of a possible 210. Not
bad, eh? Keep it up boys, if the
Japs hear about that your troubles
will be over.
Basketball Coach Sick
Robert Stick" Powell, coach of
the 150th ON. Dream Team and
former star of the Globe Trotters,
is in the hospital. The men of the
1oUGIl dllu his many aQmlr6rS are
wishing for him a speedy recovery.
Despite the illness of their coach,
the Dream Team is making regular
practice in preparation for their
game scheduled to be played against
the 394th ON. Truck Co. in the
near future. The date is to be an
nounced later.
Attention WACs!
The WACs are cordially invited to
attend all of our basketball games.
The team is really good and your
presence will give the games just
what is needed. It won't be embar-
RAISING at all, for rumor has it that
the team is going to discard their
handsome "GI. Trunks" for real
uniforms.
In closing, may invite you to be
with me again next week.
Until then, adieu.

of town is being leased to the navy

life deep in the heart of Texas.

month course as radio technician.
Although studying takes most OF my
time. I have been able to get around
some. Texas isn't such a bad state,
but then, nothing is better than the

When I finish my studies here I
am supposed to be an expert repair
man for some of the secret equip

I hope to go on to a more advanced

badly the fleet will be needing men
at the time. IT, ...' g..: 3. -.

Sen. StinsOn SAYS
Benton Co. Gets
Huge Road Fund
SB lat puts Kennewick
on No. Bank Road;
all want more money

This session of the legislature is
quite important to the people back
home in many ways. We have all
of the same problems that have been
before us in prior years and in addi-
ton many NV proposed laws brought
on by the war. In both houses the
committees are reporting bills out
quite rapidly, and from now on
we will have many roll calls on
ton new proposed laws brought
controversial matters, states letter
to this paper from Sen. Chas. Stain
son. ~. -..~ ...
Several methods are before us for
increasing the pay of classroom
teachers. One proposal carries a
100000. appropriation to be ad-
justed by the boards of directors.
Another carries a $11,000,000 ap-
preparation providing for a flat in
crease for each teacher, and still
another provision takes care of the
past year.
All of the state departments are
asking for increased pay for their
help together with the judges of
our courts. We are never quite sure
how the taxpayer will feel with all
of these increased costs in the offing.
Our people at home may not real
lie how many different state de-
partments we have in Olympia. They
have two years the advantage of us
in piling up problems for us to act
on and to put them all in proper
form and decide if it is really neces-
sary and desirable legislation.
Our school timber problem is one
OF the outstanding controversies.
Oregon has sold nearly all of her
school timber with only $4,000, 600
in the school fund to show for 1t.
Washington has large part of her
timber left and has $57,O00,000 in
the school fund as result. Many
of OUR legislators are doubtful re-
garding changes unless in the inter-
ests of a sound progressive timber
policy.
We have succeeded so far in hold
ing our share of the motor vehicle
fund and the attempt of the large
cities and counties to get new allo-
cation has made no progress. The
senate has passed law permitting
counties to control their own road
money, and also a similar law for
cities. This will prevent diverting
the motor vehicle fund for other
purposes.
Benton County received approx
mately $133. 100000 from motor We
hicle fund. Several attempts have
been made to reduce it nearly half
by the larger counties. -
Recently We passed an act which
provides that various controversies
may be settled out of court for the
purpose of giving legal approval and
saving the parties large court ex-
oenSeS.
The senate has also passed No. lat
which establishes the North Bank
on the primary system
lear through to Kennewick, and I
rust the house members will soon
,e able to indorse the senate bill.
Next week we have two important
Columbia Basin bills intended to
an early development of
his large irrigation project.
