Drivers

In an effort to eliminate the ba-
sic cause of the terrible increase in
automobile accidents. with their re-
sulting deaths and mutilations, the
Washington State Patrol has re-
Gently inaugerated a program OF
Driver Training in cooperation
with the high schools Of the state.
Patrol officials hope that the
scientific testing and instruction
methods employed will produce a
generation of really safe and sane
drivers, thus eliminating a great
majority Of the highway tragedies
caused by incompetent or reckless
drivers.
The most -up-to-date equipment
is used by the Patrol to test stu
dents muscular and nervous sta
bility, reaction speed, visual and
hearing ability, etc. Class room in
strucion is varied by practical
driving experience under the di-
rection Of Patrol Officers or COM
petent teachers. Public school
teachers are trained by the Patrol
to assist in the program, Requests
by school officials for this service
should be addressed to 1t. H. D.
Austin at Patrol Headquarters in
Olympia.
This is q new twist to traffic
control. Sounds like q good idea.

Neighb0rs-

Kennewick not only has enjoyed
a phenomenal growth with the end
not yet in sight, but has also add
ed many new neighbors. Richland,
for instance, has grown from a
hamlet to a city of worldwide
fame. Pasco has matched Kenne-
wick in growth.
Now another sehamlet" bids on
becoming a little sister to Kenne-
wick. We refer to Benton City.
We had the pleasure of visiting
0hat thriving community Saturday
and found people there nexing
their muscles in preparation for q
growing spree.
A few months ago the town was
incorporated with a full dedged
mayor and council complete with
a city attorney. More than 500
people were counted within the
corporate limits.
Now what's brewing there is
the advent of RoZa water this
spring on additional land east of
town. This project brings water to
a point as far east as the Sunny
side ditch on higher ground.
A number of individuals are in
terested in bringing additional
and service establish
ments to serve the growing popu-
lation. And guess what-there
aren't enough buildings or houses.
We can appreciate the position
Of our neighbor and wish them q
speedy and successful solution to
The many problems.

You can Judge from all this that
Barbara was not prepared for her

on Broadway. She still remembers
