Road 10 Basin
rom This Area
Will Be Built

"We can't say what route it will
follow, but a road running north
from Pasco to serve the Columbia
Basin will definitely be built"
That was the word of j. A. Web
Der, state highway department en-
gineer engaged in Basin road plan
ming. Mr.. Weber addressed a
meeting of the Nortth-South Basin
Highway committee in Othello
Saturday night. Is
cit is a difficult job trying to
please everybody" he said. I'VE
are planning a network of primary
and secondary roads to serve the
Columbia Basin. We cannot yet
announce routes of these roads,
but they will be designed to serve
the area in the most efficient man
ner possible" -. .
He estimated that the road pro-
gram would represent an invest
ment of approximately SIS, 1000, 900.
The department attempts to build
roads in such way that they will
carry sufficient traffic to make
them self-supporting from gas tax
revenue. &
Next meeting of the group is
scheduled for Kennewick on Sep
TENDER ID. At that meeting it is
planned to present to the group
the advantages of terminating the
road here to connect with trans
portation facilities by rail, high
way, air and water. KenneWick' s
packing plants will be brought
closer to the Basin by means OF
this road. Delegates to the State
Good Roads convention in Bel
bingham on Sept 10 to 81 will be
selected at the Kennewick meet
ing.
H. A. Parker, Bureau of Recla-
nation engineer, addressed the
group, pointing out the construc-
ton plans of the burueau in rela-
ton to roads. He said that pri-
mary roads will be planned to
serve the area by the most direct
route. The highway department
is working with the bureau, he
said, to integrate plans. It is pro-
posed that secondary or county
roads be laid out along ditch lines
so as to serve farm units. He said
the bureau is more concerned with
these roads than with the trunk
highways.
Brick Oliver and Rolfe Tuve at
tended the Othello meeting repre-
senting the Kennewick Chamber
of Commerce.

School Bells
To Ring Again
Monday. Aug. rs

It's back to school again for
Kennewick youngsters on Monday,
August 26. The starting time Is
the same as usual.
Teachers have been selected for
the coming year with some
changes being made. Principal
of the Senior High school will be
Thorson Bennett, and Carl O. Witt
will serve as head man in the jun
ior High. Mrs. Lena McCamish
will again serve as principal of
the grade school.
Corston Greene, who had been
appointed as Senior High princi-
pal, returned to the Army where
he will serve as an instructor. F.
E. Splitter, resigned as basketball
coach and Junior High instructor
to devote his full time to his in
surance business. MIR. Splitter has
been with the school two years
and last year coached the Junior
High basketball team to the Valley
championship.

lens, the principals will be in the
Office a week preceding the open
ing of school. -....
Here is a reminder to parents OF
small children who bring them to
school the first morning. Please
come for them at the end of the
day, as it is very difficult for the
teachers to figure out on which
bus they should 60 home. Past
experience shows that when par
ents do not return for them al
night three or four children gel
lost until late in the evening
which always causes a frantic sit
uation.

chief of which is the quarrel between
Justices Black and Jackson, must be
disposed of, the new Chief Justice will
have need of Solomon's wisdom, Senica's
~eloquence and Lycurgas' sense OF justice
to put the tribunal back on it's pedestal.
Among popular dust-gathering orna-
ments some years ago was a trio of
monkeys, one with paws across it's
eyes, another with paws over it's ears,
and the third with them over it's mouth.
The message they were intended to
convey was that everybody should see
no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
If Mr.. Chief Justice Vinson can get
the associate justices on the Supreme
Court to practice these virtues and con-
centrate their talents wholly upon the
discharge of their legal duties, he will
not only have performed a miracle but
have restored the court to its proper
place in the esteem of the people.

On The Job

Representative Clark's quick action
on the complaint of Wilmington sugar
consumers, with result that a cargo
from Puerto Rico and Cuba has been
diverted en- route from New York to
Baltimore and that much of the cargo
will come. here, offers additional evil
dence of the value of having a man in
the House who not only watches out for
the needs of his constituency but knows
where to 60 for relief.
The sugar situation had become so
deplorable that manufacturers using
the commodity faced a shutdown unless
help was forthcoming at once. Meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce to air their
grievance and determine upon a pro-
gram, they dispatched messages to Mr..
Clark explaining their distress. In his
response Mr.. Clark not only told of the
Baltimore detour but also announced
the Commodity Credit Corporation had
arranged to deliver a shipload of sugar
direct to Wilmington, guaranteeing to
take care of any consequent shortages
elsewhere. ut looks definite to me"
wired Mr.. Clark, "that you should be
receiving sugar in sufficient quantities
by the middle of next (this) week."
We can't ask for more, particularly
as the Port Commission, according to
word from the Executive General Agent
Jack HERS, that the Commission will
seek a regular sugar route through the
Port of Wilmington. Mr.. HERS explains
that a third South Atlantic port of
sugar entry, in addition to Baltimore
and Savannah, is needed and that Will
mington is approximately midway be-
tween the two. With regular cargo ar
rivals. 1t is obvious the shortage under
which all southeastern North Carolina
has suffered could be overcome and at
the same time the port benefit by this
additional commerce.

"cover materials furnished to the So
called 'non-paying' countries, and do
not include materials procured for
paying countries which UNRRA serv-
ed as consultant." For the Far Eastern
countries, she explained, UNRRA seed
procurement schedules, particularly in
China, will carry wei into 1947.
Thus it is fairly certain that the
famine conditions which have existed
so widely on the two continents will
not be repeated another year.

Wilson's Hard Task

Although Senator E. H. Moore. re-

Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, the Senate confirmed his nomi-
nation without opposition, Senator
Moore not being on the floor when the

Change Of Front

Despite what happened in Iran, when
Russia violated her agreement to with
draw her troops within a given time
and fought the Security Council to a
lstandstill on her refusal, the feeling
grows that her agreement to withdraw
all forces from Italy and Bulgaria when
a treaty of peace is adopted for Italy
will be carried out. Whether the new
opinion is justified or not, it is obvious
that Russia has made some alterations
in her conduct.
This is reflected in the position taken
by her foreign commissar, Mr.. Molotov,
at the present Four Power meeting In
Paris. Instead of injecting discord, as
his custom has been in previous gather
ings of foreign ministers, he appears
determined to go out of his way to be
agreeable. It was he who reintroduced
Secretary of State Byrnes' proposal,
introduced and rejected a month ago,
that the question of lranian colonies be
shelved for a year, and made such a
favorable impression upon his associ-
ates that they gave every appearance
of acceptance.
The proposal as it now stands is that
Italy will give up all claim to her Afri-
can Empire, which shall be administer
ed by the British until such time as
final action on their disposal can be
made.
The natural inclination is to accept.
this change of front by Mr.. Molotoy
as recognition by the Russian govern
ment that the other great powers are
more liable to make coveted concessions
in the ultimate peace settlement if it
calls off its hecklers in all quarters and
goes along with the majority on major
issues. This is the more reasonable
view, we believe, inasmuch as Moscow
has had ample warning that both Lon
don and Washington, and possibly
Paris, have reached the end of their
patience and are definitely through
with appeasement.
At the same time, and knowing the
Russians are as cunning as any people,
there is no reason to relax the watch
fitness Russia's chief allies have fina1lv
realized is necessary if Europe is not
to come under her control.

Seed For Fall Sowing

The situation in food relief for war
impoverished countries of Europe and
Asia is far from what all beneficent
peoples and governments could wish
but there has been some improvement,
that is to say, less widespread hunger,
since Herbert Hoover's tour of inspec-
ton and recommendations for a speed
ing up of relief shipping. At the same
time a notable achievement is report
ed by the head of UNRRA's seed
branch, Mrs. Ethel E. Pattison.
Addressing the annual convention
of the American Seed Trade Associa-
ton in New York, Mrs. Pattison said
the agency has sent 622,688 tons of
seed, valued at $82, 1876, 900 to Europe
and China for autumn sowing. With
care and proper tending, crops from
this quantity of seed ought to solve the
food problem of the distressed lands
in 1947.
Mrs. Pattison, adding that 'UNRRA
started it's seed procurement program
in the spring of 1915, first delivered
seeds to Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania,
Czechoslovakia and Poland. To these
countries have been added Italy, Aus
tria, the Dodeconese, the Byelorussian
and Ukranian republics, China and
other areas in the Far East, with other
commodities going to Finland and Hun
gary.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E.
Americas Card Authority

After World War ] there was a
tremendous boom in bridge. Just
before World War II some people
thought that interest in bridge had
dropped off, but that has gone by
the wayside. From present indica-
tons bridge, especially tourna-
ment bridge, is headed for another
terrific boom. Each week the
American Contract Bridge league
receives applications for new tour
naments, while established tourna-
ments are showing a Is per cent to
50 per cent increase in attendance.
Some of the country's finest
players will combine a vacation
and bridge at the Adirondack tour
nament to be held July 3 to 7 at
Adirondack Inn, S%candaga Park,
N. Y. The New England delega-
ton will include Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Ansin of Brookline, Mass.
Mrs. Ansin reasoned wisely on
today's hand. She refused to win
AN 81 VI ScCOllQ QldII1O1lO Lr1Ck,
but won the third round and then
knocked out the ace of hearts.
South could not return a dia-
mond and led back a spade, which
Mrs. Ansin won with the jack.
She knocked out the ace of clubs
and thus made her contract.
Some players would make the
mistake of winning the first dia-
mond, being SIR of two diamond
tricks. But Mrs. Ansin reasoned
that South had to hold the two
missing aces to justify his spade
bid. When North refused to open
a spade and led a diamond, a
five-card diamond suit in his hand
was probably indicated.
If Mrs. Ansin had won the first
diamond, North could have de-
feated the contract simply by stay
ing off the second diamond and
winning the third.

Well, I've finally got the low
down on the ladies' bathing suits
and I really mean "low-doWn'' in
more ways than one.
Yesterday. afternoon beng Sum
day afternoon and, hence, one OF
the two afternoons I have at my
disposal each week for the pur-
poses of leisure, recreation, and
doing what I doggone we'll feel like
doing, ! donned my 1908 bathing
suit and sauntered out onto
Wrightsville Beach.
Never in my life have l felt to
conspicuous. My 1908 bcthing suit,
let me tell you, is quite a racy
creation. The trousers reach at
least two inches above my knees
and the sleeves just miss exposing
my shoulders by another scanty
two inches.
AS I strolled out onto the strand
I thought to myself, Wow, what a
sensation this is going to make. AS
a matter of fact, I felt just a bit
indecent, displaying so much bare
epidermis in the leg and arm
regions.
And then the revelation revealed
itself.
AS I, said a few paragraphs up
there, 1 have never felt so conspi-,
cuous in my life. I felt like a man
wearing a racoon coat, a derby
hat, and high-top button-shoes who
wandered into the confines of a
nudist colony.
Wrightsville Beach, in the year
of our lord and master, the ladies'
swimsuit designer, 1916, is the
nearest thing to a nudist colony
without having a sign saying Mud

again to be caught in.
Compared to what the ladies are
wearing at Wrightsville Beach this
year, Ewes figleaf is an old-fash-
Toned nightgown. If Eve were to
stand beside one of the current
beach bellies she (Eve) would feel
overdressed.

swimsuits are made. The manu-
facturer takes a pockethandker-

Religion

By L T. ELLIS
THE IMPERTINENCE OF
RELIGION

Religion sticks its nose into ev-
erything. That is why many per
sons consider it bothersome and
impairment.
There is nothing in all the worlds
compile: life that is not affected
by religion. 1t begins in the cradle
and ends only beyond the grave.
It insistently thrusts itself into
every situation in life. 1t takes
up it's abode in the kitchen and in
the counting house. 1t demands a
seat of authority in every council
of nations. 1t bears a part in ev-
cry workers busy day and in ev-
cry silent night hour of sleepless-
ness.
For religion is the tie that binds
mortal to Immortal; it is the Div
ne Immanence thrusting itself in
to human consciousness. 1t is that
highest self-aWarenesS which
comes with God-aWareneSs.
Whatever affects man concerns
God.
Thou hast promised, o Christ, to
be with us all the days in all u
ways. May we as consciously seek
1nee as Thou seekest us. Amen.
