j. Enrolment al
Local Schools
Now Doubled
Need for more space
becoming acute; new
BUSES sought

"Normal" enrolment in the To-
cal school system has been about
800, according to a report from
Miss Margaret Reymore, clerk of
the local board. Today, check
shows that double that number are
being cared for at the local schools.
This increase has caused great
deal of doubling up, increasing
classes to an unwieldy size and the
addition of quite a few new
teachers all of which is justify
ing the local authorities in asking
for additional school room space.
Applications have all been COM
pleted, estimates made, plans pre-
pared and other arrangements
made. These have been passed by
the state authorities and are now
being taken under advisement by
the department heads at Washing
ton, D. C..
Should the green light be re-
ceived soon, Supt. E. S. Black
states that he can have construc-
ton completed before the close of
the present school year. In the
meantime, he is making every eff
fort to secure more buses, which
are even now being badly needed.

roll in the nutrition class on Jan
uary II at the high school at 7:3O.

and Governor Langlie of WASH
ington has issued the following
message:
81 am requesting the citizens
of the State of Washington to take
part this week in the nationwide
program of giving recognition to
the members, past and present, of
the War Price and Rationing
Boards who have given their time
to this phase of the war effort.
"The tasks of these men and
women have not been easy. They
have had to administer on as fair
a basis as possible, diminishing
supplies of gasoline, fuel, tires,
food and other supplies. This has
called for endless patience, days
and nights of hard work and sacri-
flee. Their only remuneration is
the knowledge that their work is
vital to the war effort, keeping the
home front stable and preserving
the economy for which our soldiers
are fighting.
"Wednesday was the second an
niversary of the organization Of
these boards and I call upon the
people of this state, individually
and as organizations, to give recog-
milton to the local boards that they
may know their work and prob
lens are appreciated and that we
will continue to stand behind them
until victory comes"

Next Number on
Lecture Course
To Be January rs
Madame Koo, unable to
appear, to be replaced
by Chinese girl

Miss Hilda Yen will replace
Madame Wellington Koo as the
next speaker on the lecture
course. Madame Koo was sched-
uled to appear here on January
IA but she has not yet been able
to leave London where her hus-
bands duties hold her also. So
the committee secured Miss Hilda
Yen, Chinese girl, educated here
and in China, a world traveller
and a representative of the mod
ern, educated Chinese. She will
come on January Is. Wednesday.
Hilda, an intelligent and at
tractive daughter of China, comes
to Kennewick not to speak on the
problems of her own land, her
own people, but on the problems
that beset the world in chaos,
your world as well as hers. Hilda
Yen knows this world at war; she
has seen the turmoil in the max
ing, she has tasted at first hand
its bitter product.
The career of Hilda Yen reads
like tale out of the Arabian
Knights. To this Chinese girl the
courts of Europe became as
familiar as homes in her own
Peiping. She was member OF
the Diplomatic Corps in Moscow,
and hostess at the Chinese EN-
bassy there during 1885 and 1896,
She had previously been a mem
Der of the China Diplomatic
Corps in Paris, London, Rome,
Berlin and Copenhagen, also a
delegate to the League of Nations
in 1886 and 1887. She has been
official observer at a number of
international conferences and was
most recently delegate to the In
stitute of Pacific Relations held
in Canada. She was caught in the
Japanese occupation of Hongkong
and saw there the grimness of
modern warfare. For eight months
she lived in occupied parts of
China, eventually escaping in a
highly adventurous manner. Miss
Yen should not be missed when
she comes here January 26th.

City Needs More
Space for Jail
And Police F orce
Mayor suggests enlarge
ment; may build addi- (
ton on south or east

~ - = = =
With the growth inrlocal police
business and police force, comes a
definite need for larger quarters
at the city hall. Mayor A. c.
Anon presented the facts to the
city council last Tuesday night
and asked the aldermen to be
thinking about the matter until the
next regular meeting.
The mayors suggestion was that
a couple of the city offices be
moved to the upper floor of the
city's building, in the rooms now
being occupied by lodge rooms.
Informal discussion among the
councilman, all of whom were
present, seemed to favor the build
ing of lean-to either on the south
or east side of the building rather
than to move any of the city Of
fees to an upper floor.
With the Jail cells full continue
ously and even with an overflow
being sent to Prosser and Yakima,
there is a decided need for adj
ditional space in this department.
The suggested alteration could
easily provide a tank cell and give
the police department and the
judge more space although the
council chamber would have to re-
main as is.
The appointment of Ward Rupp
as patrolman was made by the
mayor and confirmed by the coun-
Gil. ':.-,

C Of { TO Back
Wounded Soldier
With Application
Disabled veteran denied
gas to operate taxi
service in district

After this war, will there be
ex-service men selling apples on
the street as there were after the
last WARP.
Citizens as a whole are much
opposed to, any such procedure
and that goes for the Kennewick
people as well as in any other
section of the country. This was
indicated this noon when the mat
ter of a discharged service man
being denied the opportunity of
making a living for himself in our
community was brought up for
discussion.
AL higgins, arrived in Kenne-
wick a week ago with plans to
operate a taxi service. He rented
a stand, equipped it, had phone
installed, got out advertising and
prepared to earn himself a living.
All was well to the stage where
he discovered it was necessary 70
secure a permit from ODT or
something before he could be is
sued a gas ceaifscate This. after
a special trip to Spokane, was de-
MED.
higgins, bombardier with the
air corps, served for more than a
year, was finally wounded in the
leg by shrapnel. After hospitaliza-
ton, he received a medical dis
charge, with % percent dis
ability. This means that he will
receive $28 a month for his serv-
ices to the nation, even though he
will 60 through life, probably, with
a limp.
He was sent to the Hanford
project following his hospital dis
charge, where he was unable to
do the work required on account
of his disability. He came to Ken
newick to find work he could do.
The taxi business offered the way
out. ~'
Discussed before the chamber of
commerce this noon indignation
was expressed that any disabled
soldier should be denied the priv
ilege of supporting himself. It
was declared that if such treat
ment persisted, following demo-
Utilization, that serious civil dis
turbances would surely result. It
was also suggested that the cham
Der members chip in and take the
matter into court-or at least do
everything possible to see that the
veteran be permitted to operate.

Home nursing is directly con-
nected with the war effort because
as our nurses and doctors leave
our communities for military duty
it is particularly important that
women prepare themselves to care
for illness in the home and to
safeguard the health of the men,
bers of their families. These class
es will be started soon and the
women of Kennewick are urged to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Those wishing to enroll are asked

Lie etector
Test Evidence
Traps Thief

In the first recorded case in
Macomb County history and
possibly the first in the state -
in which results of State Po-
lice lie detector test have been
admitted TO evidence, Circuit
Court jury of nine men and
three women late Wednesday re-
turned verdict of guilty against
a Warren Township man charg-
ed with theft of $1,000 from a
beer garden.
Prosecutors here and through
out the state have often tried to
introduce lie detector evidence
unsuccessfully. The evidence in
the first local case, strangely
enough, was introduced into the
court record by a defense at
torney, without objection from
the prosecutor.
The jury case was heard by
Circuit Judge Alton II. Noe and
prosecuted by Assistant Prosecu-
tor Fred Van Fleteren. 1t con-
victed John RoWney, 81, a de-
Tense worker, of 9779 North
street, Warren Township, on a
charge of grand larceny, in con-
nection with theft of Sl,700
from the Victory Inn, l2-Mile
and Mound roads, Warren town
ship, Oct. %, l943.

said today that elimination of
Warren townships traffic and
disorderly ordinances would in
no sense mean a break down of
law enforcement in the area.
THE opinion was addressed to
Ferndale, Mich, attorney and
answered in the negative the
question: Does Royal Oak town
ship have the right or authority
to adopt traffic and disorderly
ordinances?)
Rather" Held pointed out,
1T would place prosecutions
under the state law, as Is the
case with all other unincorpor-
ated areas, and may result in a
more clear-cut type Of enforce
ment. II will mean that warrant
recommendations must originate
with the prosecuting attorney
and that court cases must be
tried by members of the prose-
cutors staff"
