DIVERSE ELEMENTS
ACHIEVE HARMONY


Included in their group are
such diverse elements as A. F.
Of l.. and CLIO, National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers, Ameri.
can Legion, Rotary and Kiwan-
is, Protestant, Jewish and Cath
Ollie Societies, Parent Teachers.
League of Women Voters. While
it was generally feared they
would be in continual strife.
they have fooled everybody,
worked in harmony and may
really contribute largely to the
success of the Conference.
Most of their sessions have
been in a reserved lobby at the
Opera House where plenary ses-
sions are held, though a few
meetings have been at the Fair
mont Hotel, which is u. S. dele.
cation headquarters.
At morning sessions the con-
sultants have been threshing out
things among themselves, DR..
James T. Shotweli of the Car
negie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace presiding. At
afternoon sessions representa-
tives of the American delegation
have been appearing in turn to
keep the consultants informed
as to what went on and get their
reactions.
1t was at these afternoon ses-
sions that the consultants first
emphasized their views on hav-
ing greater protection for human
rights written into the Charter.
Dean Virginia Gildersleeve got
this reaction at first, then John
Foster Dulles. But the dele
gates were not impressed and
decided not to make a fight for
these principles.
At subsequent meeting Of
the consultants Secretary Stet-
tinius appeared. DR.. Nolde. an
eloquent preacher, led off with
demand for better safeguards
to human rights. He was fol-
lowed by Judge Proskauer, who
made profound legal presen-
tation of the case. Others among
the consultants voiced their ap-
proval in no uncertain terms.
Their position was that while
they did not expect their dele
gates to get in there and fight
for what they considered right.
STETTINIUS IMPRESSED
Secretary Stettinius was i'm
pressed and said so. Leaving
the meeting of the consultants,
he went directly to meeting
with the other American dele
gates and their official, technical
advisers who were considering
other amendments. Stettinius
Immediately made the proposal
that the question of amendments
Incorporating the principles of
President Roosevelt's Four Free
doms and the protection of hui
man rights for all people, re-
CARELESS of race, language, reli-
gion or sex, be reconsidered.
This action was taken and the
American delegation went on
record in support of the four
human rights amendments - a
statement of principle in the
preamble, giving the General
Assembly the power to assist in
attainment of these freedoms,
and the creation of a commits
sion to promote their worldwide
acceptance.
Securing the approval Of the
other major powers to these
amendments was a relatively
easy matter, and that scored on
for the COnsultants.

To an observer on the moon, daylight
would last for two weeks, and then

II is estimated that the peak tenn

At lunar sunrise or lunar sunset il

IN the middle of the two weeks OF
lunar night il falls 10 minus 2lO.
AS the sun rises gradually highcI
in the lunar sky, it shines down
more directly and makes the sur
face become brighter as man sees
il from earth. Thus at full moon, the
famous crater Tycho is the center OF
a system of bright streaks or rays
which extend for thousands of miles
across mountains and lunar plains
BY some, these StrcakS are thought
TO be made of ice. Others speculate
that they are made OF glass. What
ever the cause, the streaks radiating
from Tycho give the full moon the
appearance of a peeled orange. .
II the moon does have ice on !
and thus creates misty clouds, then
the textbook teachings that the moon
has no atmosphere are incorrect. But
this is far from saying that the moon
must therefore be able 10 support life.
What atmosphere the moon possesses
soon leaks off and is probably far
more rare than il would be in the
stratosphere 100000 and more feet
above the earth.

been caused by evaporation of ice
deep in the crater.
In the associations journal he
stated:
1T is possible that some tempo
rary cloud or vapor may have covered
the true floor up to the level of the
rim Of the spot"
Dozens of other reputable obseTV-
Crs have seen such spots, too, and the
famous English selenographer Cscle-
biography is the geography of the
moonl, f. J. Sellers, has long main
iained that these changes could be
accounted for if the moon is coated
with thick layer of ice.

James Leavy Will
Lead Clothing Collection

Under the leading Of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Commission a nationwide drive
for used clothing will be made
in every community in America
during April. Service clubs Of
American towns have been ap-
pointed to take the lead in set
ting up the collection organiza-
ton. Attorney James Leavy,
chairman of the local Kiwanis
Wartime citizenship committee
will serve as general chairman
for Kennewick and this part of
the county.
It is planned to bring into the
general committee a representa-
tive from all organized groups,
clubs, oranges, lodges, veterans,
chuhches, schools, P.T.A., scouts,
business groups, etc, for this
April campaign.
One central and several neigh
borhood collection depots will be
announced later. A thorough and
systematic plan will be followed
and will be announced when the
general committee is completed,
il was stated. In many war
disrupted lands no clothing, new
or old has been available now
for several seasons and the need
is desperate.

Pre-Easter Services
Planned by Churches

Under the sponsorship of the
Inter-City Ministers association,
a week of evening pre-Easter
services have been planned for
the three larger communities OF
the valley, Kennewick, Pasco, and
Richland. According to plans an
nounced this week by Rev. Thos.
Acheson of Richland, chairman
of the committee in charge, the
series of services in each place
will open on Palm Sunday eve
ming and continue through Good
Friday.
The Church of the Nazarene
has been selected for the services
in Kennewick and it is expected
that several pastors and churches
here will participate. The speak
ers teams will be made up from
the various parts of the valley
and will change each day. Inter-
esting service features are being
planned in keeping with the week.
On account of the gas situation
it was decided that each COM
munity would plan its own Easter
sunrise service.

Night Blaze Hits
Air Station

Residents of Kennewick lined
the streets Tuesday night to watch
a spectacular blaze which de-
stroyed hanger and two small
training planes at the naval air
station. Origin of the fire was
undetermined, according to an
nouncement by the public rela-
tons officer. -.
Kennewick's fire department
joined the station fire fighters
and all other available equip
ment from the army base, Pasco
and Richland, to bring the fire
under control. Heroic efforts
prevented the fire from spreading
to other station buildings.
The fire was discovered shortly
after 10 pm. and within a mat
ter of minutes, the huge building
was s roaring inferno. Aviation
mech ,ics, however, pulled to
safety Ill hut two of the planes
which were stored in the hangar.
There were no injuries to Navy
personnel, and no estimate as to
the amount of the loss has been
made.

AS OF today, the Courler-R Report
er is under new management.
Kennewick's oldest business insti-
tuition has been sold to a part
nership Of Rolfe TuVe and Earl
Allen. Mr.. Tuve is an experienced
newspaper man Of Seattle, having
worked in several dailieS along
the Coast. Mr.. Allen is a press
man with years Of experience in
several Of the larger shops Of the
state. The latter will have charge
of the mechanical end Of the shop,
with Mr.. Tuve handling the edi-
torial work.
Publisher since 1924 has been
r. e. Reed, who is retiring from
the business. MIR. Reed has been
printing papers in Kennewick
since his purchase in 1910 Of the
Kennewick Courier from the Soth
estate. Shortly afterward, a part
ner, E. c, Trip, was taken, the
firm Of Reed & Trip continuing
until 1914 when the Courier and
the Reporter, then being published
by A, r. Gardner, were CONSOLE
dated.
Within a couple of years Tripp
sold his interest in the firm, then
Incorporated into the Kennewick
Printing Co., to Reed, the latter
with Gardner publishing the hy-
phenated paper, The Courier-Re-
porter, until Gardner sold TO Reed
in 1924. MIR. Reed has continued
alone since that time, Gardner
going to Olympia as secretary TO
Governor Hartley, later being en-
ployed by the Washington Savings
e. Loan Society. Gardner then
went to Washington, DC, for the
association and later became pres
ident of federal bank at Evans
ton, Ill, where he still is.
The Courier was one of Ken
newick's first business institutions,
having been started April 1, 1902,
before the irrigation water had
reached Kennewick. After vari-
Gus ownerships, il became the
property of L. w. Soth, in whose
employ Reed began his printing
experiences in 1905. In 1909 Mr..
Soth died and a few months later
the plant was taken over by Reed.
The Reporter was started by
Scott z. Henderson in 1908, later
taken over by Gardner as MIR.
Henderson became states assist
ant attorney general. It operated
in several locations about town
until the Hover block was built
in 1910 when it was housed in
the print shops present location.
Reed, then, was Kennewick's
oldest business man in point Of
continuous service. Two or three
of Kennewick's present citizens
were here in 1910 but none has re-
manned in the same line continu-
ously since. A. F. Brown was in
the lumber business; Phil and
Alex Bier were in the hardware
business, but all three have had
gaps in their service records, in
solar as Kennewick is concerned.
w. r. Gravenslund was here, but
at that time he was but school
boy. e. S. Mcdonald, F. F. Beste,
M. M. Moulton, Bill Moran are
also old timers, coming to Ken
newick at or about that time.
During these long years, the re-
firing publisher has never lost
faith in the ultimate success and
growth of Kennewick. Now the
longtime dream seems about to
come true.

Swan Song 80.

Much to my surprise, I'm find
ing it a little difficult to write
this piece for the paper. After
pecking out copy each week for
30-odd years it doesn't seem as
though il should, but il is. Since
the news of the transfer got out.
we have heard SO many kind
words concerning our work here
it's beginning to make us feel
that we Were running away from
a duty. However, we are sure
that's not the case in this par
ticular instance.
The people in this community
have been more than kind to us.
They have put up with a lot of
stuff that we're somewhat
ashamed of, because they appar-
emily sensed the fact that we Were
really trying our best to give the
very best newspaper we possibly
could under the sometimes trying
conditions. We have given the
paper the best we had, even
though it was not too good. We
have continually kept in mind
the one thing-of printing the
stuff, we thought was for the best
interests of the town and the peo-
pie in il. g. >.s..- - Il
As we have repeatedly said, the
Courier-Reporter is the only pa
per in the whole world printed
for and about Kennewick people
exclusively. We have tried in
every way we found possible to
further the welfare and advance
ment of the community.
We like Kennewick. We like
the people here, we like the cli-
mate and everything about it.
Therefore, we are going to con
tinue to make our home here from
now on. We shall still be just as
interested in affairs in the COM
munity as we have ever been,
and will continue to do our part
in its advancement and develop
ment. But we're tired of print
ing: and intend to let someone
else do that part of the job.
We have gone through lot Of
experiences here, both good and
bad. We have had a lot of fun
and sadness and trial, but through
it all the people have been Won
derfully kind and understanding
and both Mrs. Reed and / certain
'ly appreciate it. We have had
loyal support from the community
as a whole and we hope it will
continue the same toward the new
publishers. Thanks and Good
Luck-Ralph Reed. .Et4.

Discovery of Coin
ROuses Speculation

The finding of an old Spanish
coin on a trash pile at the Burns
Brown residence east of town
got people to thinking of a pos
sible early day invasion of Span
iards in this area. Second thought
was that the coin was probably
from someone's collection. &
The coin itself would make a
collectors eyes, bulge, however
since it still had good markings
and was painly dated 1779, with
the lettering and designs still
in good shape, although there
was no ring" to the coin, il
probably having been burned, OF
perhaps just cast instead of being
punched out as is the custom now
