All Star Ball
Team Is Formed

In order to provide summer
baseball for the High school boys
of Kennewick and Pasco who are
beyond the age limit set up by the
American Legion Junior baseball
requirements, it was decided by
the, two high school and Legion
coaches, EN- Morgan, Bob Milli-
ken, John Sullivan and Harold
Polling, to form a team known as
the Twin City Stars. This team is
to be composed Of high school
baseball players from both towns.
In this way, each American Le-
gion Junior team would play the
Stars on alternate weeks, insur-
ing practice for the Legion teams
as well as to provide play for the
older boys.
The first such game was held
at Pasco Wednesday at 6 pm.
Next Wednesday, June Is, sim
liar game will be played at Kenne-
wick. It is requested that the town
people turn out and support these
games.
A full nine inning game be-
tween the two American Legion
teams is to be played on the local
diamond Sunday June 8. The
game will start at ESQ pm.
Kennewick and Pasco contrib
uted their share in the All-Star
games at Yakima last Sunday, by
sending up three boys from Ken
newick and 4 from Pasco. The
boys played good baseball and
were on par with the rest Of the
players.
The boys making the trip were
Bob Adams, Lee Long, Dave Pol
ing from Kenpewick and Bill Fox
ley, Keith Lamb, Spud Glenn and
Lu Ellison from Pasco.

IN tneSe classes nave held up
through the summer. Miss Crute
has been a great help in working
with me toward a constructive
and well rounded program.
On August 9th, Miss Crute and
this Director are offering an even
ing program of music, dramatic
skit and a display of work done
in the Arts and Craft Glasses. In
this way we hope to show to those
interested the type Of work and
organization we have carried on
during the past two months.
Among the duties as Director
comes leasing Of the building to
outside organizations for various
purposes. This includes both Pro-
ject people and Towns people.
Since June 18th we have sched-
uled Church Groups, Clubs, both
Civic and Social, Navy Organiza-
tios and private parties. From
June 18th to the present time the
number of people from such
groups has totaled AS. One Of
these parties was held last Thurs
day night, August 2, by a group
OF Teen-age children. The Navy
people on the Propect found that
the facilities Of the Center filled
q much needed want and as a re-
suit used it for bridge parties.
dancing for groups, both large
and small.
The facilities Of the USO are
at the disposal Of the building.
Both Miss Crowley, USO Direc-
tor and her very able assistant,
Miss crute have been Of great help
to the program as ii. NOW functions.
The Bingo Games held every
week, under the supervision Of
Miss Crute are well attended.
bringing into the building people
not interested in other phases of
the program.
Folk and rhythmic dancing
classes have been offered to girls
from 6-12 years. Singing and
drawing classes for both boys and
girls Of all ages. .(Although I
wouldn't say it advanced the
Cause Of Education to any great
extent-one of my most popular
gestures, as far as the children
were concerned, was the donation
of an armload Of Comic Books!
But, I have found the appeal of
Superman, Terry and the Pirates,
more or less universal. It offered
the children change from the
more rigorous forms of entertain
ment and brought with it quiet
and calming atmosphere that was
welcome-at least-by the Direc-
torD
AS to statistics, during the last
half of June the attendance came
to $50. July the total, attendance
came to 1926. At the present
time, August 9Th, the records show
80.
Mr.. Smith has been most help
full, patient and kind. His interest
and encouragement has made the
work both pleasant and interest
ing.
It is the wish and desire of Mr..
Smith, Executive Director and all
the personnel of the Park View
Homes Propect that the towns
people as well as the people liv-
ing on the Project acquaint them
selves with the building program
and to use the facilities that the
building provides.
It is with more than little
regret I leave this work and the
associations made during the time
spent in Kennewick. I deem it
a privilege to have had this op-
portunity and have enjoyed the
two months work Immensely.

small part to the vision and ideals
behind this particular Community

common decency. One race has
as good brain as another.
We have historical authenticity
that all races have contributed
richly to the advancement of civ
ilization. America owes her great
ness to the contribution of all
races within her borders.
The difference in races is cul-
tural. 1t is definitely a matter IF
equal opportunity.
Equality of opportunity to all
is the cornerstone of democratic
society and that means all people
regardless of race, color or creed.
1t must mean that or it means
nothing. To deny anyone this
right is to strike at the heart of
democracy.
Here ON the Pacific Coast we
are faced with an acute labor pow
er problem Workers are needed
in the war effort. We have avail
able labor waiting and willing to
apply their talents and skills but
they are denied an opportunity to
participate because of racial in
tolerance.
Can any true American con-
scientiously classify individuals OF
organizations who incite internal
conflict because of race, color or
creed as being other than traitors
to our democratic principles?
How can we sit idly by ana see
the lives of our loved ones on
the battlefronts sacrificed because
of the crime of racial intolerance
on the homefront? The world war
is not war on races, it is a war
against principles that are di-
ametrically opposed to human
rights and liberties.
Just how long can our Democ-
racy live if We refuse to make real
our great American tradition? Re
ligious prejudice, racial hatred
and intolerance must be rooted
out of on irrational life and it
must be done now. The future
must belong to Democracy. In de-
mocracy lies the only hope for
national and world peace, security,
happiness and prosperity because
it stresses the supreme worth and
value of the individual.
1t is the obligation of every
true American-yours and mine
to help heal the wounds inflicted
by this great injustice by bring
ing into reality the social order
envisiOned by our founding fathers.
