Of the National Foundation.
The appeal will continue thru
January 81 and is the twelfth
annual campaign in the war
against infantile paralysis Law
renee Scott, campaign director,
said in announcing Kernewick's
plans for participation.
Last year," MIR. Scott SAID,
america sustained the second
worst epidemic of infantile paral-
ysis ever to hit the nation in the
history of the disease. More than
1900 people were stricken and
many of 1944's victims will re-
quire medical care and treatment
for long period of time.
1--WE do not know what is in
store for this county or any other
county of the nation in 1915. But
it is UP to all of us who value
the health and welfare Of Amer
ica's children to prepare now for
any eventuality," MIR. Scott added.
MIR. Scott pointed out ti'rrsi ore
it not for the dimes AIN collars
contributed by the peel of pre-
vious appeals Of L. lational
foundation thol.s.i.las Of children
who are now recovered from in
fantile paralysis might still be
disabled. Treatment of infantile
paralysis cases is expensive" he
said, "but it is the duty and
privilege Of all Of us to jain in
insuring every aid for the afflict-
ed. --.-
"While our men and women are
engaged in winning the war
abroad it is up to us at home to
win the home-front fight against
the Crippler. Activities held in
connecsio w;tI tlae celebration
of the Presidents birthday speed
the day of victory over infantile
paralysis. Every participant in
the March of Dimes will be help
ing today's children to 60 forward
in strength and health to fulfill
their destiny in Tomorrow's

City Council
Takes Rodeo
Properly
Rodeo Assn. property
be used to enlarge
enlarge present park

Kennewick's brand new mayor,
j. c. Pratt, and his councilman
associates put on an interesting
meeting last Tuesday evening,
transacting scads of pertinent
business.
Most significant item of the
evening was the acquisition by
the council of the Rodeo Associa-
tons holdings directly south OF
the present city park (why cam:
that park have a name?) 1t has
been obvious to city officials and
park board members for several
years that our park facilities were
hopelessly inadequate, and that
provision should be made for con-
siderable enlargement. With the
fine start that has been made
with the present park, citizens
can look to the future develop
ment of this facility as filling a
long-needed want.
Airport development was again
discussed, and while present plans
appear to be more or less stymied,
the committees working on this
project decline to take no for
an answer. The councilmen did
endorse the legislation now pend
ing before the state legislature
which would enable cities of this
class to acquire and operate air.
port facilities with financial aid
from both state and federal
sources. Copies of such endorse
ment are being sent to legislators.
Routine business included the
passing of an ordinance vacating
the one-block long Garfield Stree:
North, reducing it from eighty feet
in width to a more reasonable
forty foot width. Committee APP
pointments were announced by
Mayor Pratt, civil service COM
mission appointments We're re-
ported, and the usual allowance Of
current expenditures.
Report was also made to the
council that the proposed sewer
project was ready to go as soon
as congress made its appropri-
alton.

Waste Paper is
Big Problem

Somebody want a waste paper
drive? q
That, briefly is what has hap.
pened to Kennewick's effort tc
cooperate in the salvaging of the
much-needed waste paper that
collects in every citizens home
! Gus Parlier, representing the
chamber of commerce, appeared
before the city council Tuesday
evening to find out what, if any
thing the city could do to help in
making the paper salvage pro-
gram success without being a
burden.
For several years past this .ac-
tivity has been carried on by the
Boy Scouts under The direction
of Frank Mason, focal commits
sioner, but the job has grown to
huge proportions and the boys
have grown tired so now. the
waste paper, with a mixture OF
tin, has filled the collection depot
next to the new Benton theatre,
and has likewise accumulated into
an unsightly mess at the second
collection station east of the city
hall. - as 3d.. Fl.
While the city dads were thoroly
sympathetic to the patriotic need
of aiding in conservation of this
critical material, the manpower
situation does not make it pos
sible for the city street depart
ment to undertake such a job in
addition to the present demands
for actual street work. So, in
addition to the chamber of COM
merce committee, we now have a
committee from the city council
on waste paper. j
But the problem remains un-
solved does anybody want a
waste paper drive? -Ea<e.| -

Kennewiick Wins
From Richland

Richland-The Richland Bea-
vers and the Kennewick Lions
split a pair of cage games here
Saturday night in the Columbia
high school gymnasium. Richland
took the opener, thriller between
the B teams, 81 to 30, and Kenne-
wick copied the main event, Al
to Is, in a slam-bang, floor-racing
battle. y
A basket by Van Clippard in
the opening moments of play gave
Richland the lead for the only
time during the game. Kennewick
creeped past the Beavers in the
first quarter and then stepped out
to put themselves in the lead,
18 to, 10 at half time. The Lions,
led by their red-headed center
Perkins, continued to increase
their lead and were never serious
ly threatened, except for a few
minutes in the. fourth quarter
when Richland put on a furious
drive that cut the Kennewick lead
to nine points. " !
Coach Hoff's patched-up team
looked 100 per cent better than
in the previous weeks game
against Pasco, and had enough
drive for two teams. Hoff, who
has had a long face ever since
the season started, has every
appearance of beginning to crack

Concert Series
Announces Man
for Next Program
Third in series will
be at Sr. high school
January Goth

The Kennewick-Pasco Concert
association will present its next
concert the evening of January
3Oth at the Kennewick Senior
High auditorium at $3.50, the artist
for this performance being Ru-
dolph Firkusny, pianist.
Firkusny, young Czech pianist,
was six years old when his par
ents entered him at the state
conservatory of Brno Brunn to
the outside world. They were
rather fearfully arawer that they
had a young prodigy on their
hands, and had been advised that
this was the thing to do in such a
serious case. s.-@'.
Soon he was astonishing audi
ences by his remarkable gifts
especially noteworthy were his
powers of improvisation. Like
the youthful Mozart, he would
take any theme offered him by
the audience and develop it with
amazing ease. ILL.,. 3. Z
He was ten when he appeared
as soloist with the Philharmonic
orchestra in Prague. At IA, he
made his first public appearance
in Vienna. From then on, the
career of the young prodigy grad
ually developed into that of d
concert virtuoso acclaimed thru
out Europe. He became a regular
guest at the Augusteo in Rome,
under the direction of Molinari.
Paris, Berlin, London, Stockholm,
there is not a capital in Europe
where he was not hailed as one
of the outstanding master plan
lists of the time. In Paris, Alfred
Corteot, the distinguished concert
pianist, after hearing him play,
greeted him with the remark,
"You do not need a teacher any

After a concert in Brussels,
Queen Elizabeth presented him
with watch inscribed with her
In Italy, he was
decorated by King Emanuel, in
London, he enjoyed the patronage
of the Royal family. s.s..s
Firkusny has a tremendous re-
pertoire, which includes natur-
ally the works of his country
men: Smetana, Janacek, Dvorak,
etc.,-many of these compost
tons being absolutely unknown
to the average concertgoer. Such
was the case when he played the
G minor piano concerto of Dvorak
on his appearance at Raviniai
under Sir Thomas Beecham.
Firkusny is the second artist
to appear on the local series for
the Concert Association, and the
third and final concret will bring

besponsored by
Richland organization

misunderstanding citizens here
in meeting last Wednesday night
gave their approval to the forma.
ton of an organization of Rich.
land residents, one of the aims
of which is the publication of .
local, weekly newspaper.
The meeting was held in the
new Recreation building, and was
attended by leaders and repre-.
sentatives of Richland civic
groups, who heard how the foun-
dalton for the new organization,
tentatively known as VILLAGERS,
Inc.," was prepared at a meeting
held earlier in the week. The pur-
pose of the new city-wide group,
open to all residents of the city,
was declared to 'ae "to provide
means for contributing to the wei
fare, recreation. comfort, enter
tainment, and education Of all
persons residing here"
More specifically, it was de-
termined that Villagers, Inc, inso-
far as the members desire and
finances permit, would publish a
local, weekly newspaper, operate
a public library, maintain handi-
craft, sewing and model airplane
classes for children, provide
equipment and means for athletic
activities, promote dances, con-
certs, lectures and other such
entertainment, provide mimeo-
graph, addressograph and other
such equipment for the use of
local groups, and provide a listing
bureau for hired help, practical
nurses and baby-minders.
Elected as officers to manage
the affairs of the new association
until the organization is complete
and a regular election may be held
were Donald I. Graham, Jr., presi-
dent of the Coordinate club, presi-
dent; p. A. Wells, president Of the
Castle club, vice president; Mrs.
r. E. Arnold, head of Beta Sigma
Phi Sorority, secretary; and Paul
Nissen, president of the Richland
Village Players, treasurer.
"It is believed that the residents
Of the village will support whole
heartedly such community or
ganization, through which so many
worthwhile detectives can be ac-
complished for themselves and
their children" p. A. Wells said
at the meeting. "It is only with
the support of nearly all the adult
misunderstanding, wives, single
men and women, and grown chill
dren-of Richland, of course, that
such a plan as this can succeed.
It is therefore urged that every
one take immediate action to as

Carnegie Gift to
Local Library

The Kennewick public library is
fortunate in having recently been
selected by the Carnegie endow-
ment for international peace as
one of the many libraries in the
United States to receive the books
known as ''The international Mind
Alcove". The books placed in
these alcoves are chosen from
the most recent publications that
bear upon the customs, the art,
the culture, the government, or
the geography of foreign nations
and peoples. The particular pur-
pose of the International Mind AL
coves is to assist readers to gain
wider knowledge of the peoples
of the world and thereby larger
interest in them. The Information
al Mind Alcoves are to stimulate
the international mind.
The books for the. alcove are
sent in installments every three
months, until the collection has
grown to 100 books. The first
installment has just arrived and
consists of four most timely books:
Heaven Below" by e. II. Clayton,
is moving and absorbing story
of China by one who knew its
people through years of associa-
ton. Traveller From Tokyo" by
John Norris, is his own story o:
life in Tokyo before and after
Pearl Harbor. Introducing At
RIGA" by Carveth Wells is able to
inform the reader about any part
of this little known continent. "Be-
yond Victory, edited by Ruth
Nanda Anshen, deals with the in
ternational situation from all
points of view and by various and
well known authorities. Everyone
is interested in at least some phase
of the future peace, which we feel
must follow the agony of the pres
ent war. Such peace will not
come of itself. It must be thought
out before it can be put into prac-
tice. This book will serve as an
aid and inspiration for such
thought. These books are avail
able now and you are invited to
read them.
