KenneWick Chapter OAR. met
at the home Of Mrs. r. G. Gest
Monday evening, March II. Mrs.
o. p. Miller, regent, presided over
a short business session. Mrs. NJ.
M. Moulton, who had charge Of the
program, presented an article on
the late Susan B. Anthony, life
member of OAR. and great pi-
oneer leader for Women's rights.
Miss Anthony wrote the Equal
Rights Amendment for the Con-
stitution, which would allow wo-
men the right to vote. BY act Of
congress President Truman issued
a proclamation setting aside No
vember 2, 1915, as Women's En-
reimbursement Day-the 25th an
niversary of the 18th Amendment
to the Constitution.
Mrs. Miller introduced two win
ming candidates to the Good Citi-
zenship Pilgrimage-Virginia Tag
cares, Prosser Senior High; Daph-
ne Taylor, Kennewick Senior High.
At the state OAR. conference
held at Bellingham this month, one
girl, from many throughout the
state, will be chosen as winner ID
the 500 bond. In former years the
girl who won the state Good Citi-
zenship Pilgrimage contest, was
honored by trip to Washington,
DC. as guest of the National
OAR. Continental Congress. This
was dispensed with during the
war, but will be continued as soon
as conditions in Washington, DC
become normal. .
AS part Of their contest each
girl was required to write q short
extemporaneous theme on my

Kennewick's successful candidate

by the first survey. Though the

one could ask.
These standards are as old a
the department itself. When tho

try and set up the rules by which
it operated and the allowable lin

been improved and changes, such
as night observing, have been
made to speed the work, no de-

all schemes" or surveys in this
country is on the Meade ranch In
Kansas, the nearly exact geo.
graphic center of the u. s. All
schemes are connected to this
point, east and west, north and
south. All points in the U. S.
have an exact relation to this
point. That's where the term
Geodetic comes in-Geodetic sur
veys allow for the curvature of
the earth. All points or stations
can be located to longitude and
latitude. The round brass marker
you see imbedded in its concrete
post has a definite relation to the
stars in their orbits. Surveys
such as these are called "cadas-
trail" which means Gin relation
to the stars"
What does all this have to do
with Kennewick? That's a GOOD
question. There are geodetic sur
vey points on this side of the
river, too, many of them. They
are no doubt the last word In
reference points for river work,
dixie work and the proposed Nc
Nary dam. This vast network
of lines, triangles and base lines
on the maps and charts on file
in Washington could be used to
settle boundary disputes, locate
roads and help solve a myriad

Polling Picks
Tourney Stars
BY HAROLD POLLING

After watching all Of the teams
in competition at Wapato during
this tournament and basim4 ou1
judgment on the performance OF
the players in this tournament
only, we feel that the following
have earned the right to be repre-
sented for all star honors and are
listing this team as the one to rep
resent the Yakima valley:
Name Pos. School
s sPshans { Ys Sa'na
Foxley G Pasco
Row G Richland
Swangler, Foxley and Jack Ora
ham need no introduction as they
were beyond doubt the outstand-
ing players throughout the tourn-
ament for these positions, while
Sperline, to us is very valuable
player to any team, being in there
at all times, playing fast and a
good brand of ball, a fine COMPETE
tor, always q threat against any
team.
There remains the other guard
spot to complete this team and we
have picked Row of Richland for
this position. This will no doubt
be contested by many, but as we
mentioned above, we are judging
on tournament play only and al
though Row played in only two
games, his team being eliminated
early in the tournament, his per-
Torrance on the opening night
against the champions, Ellensburg,
where he was high point man of
both teams with a total of ID
points can not be laughed off. Also,
he was high man on the following
night against Kennewicl, with II
points, being the high point man
in the only two games that he play
ed and that is what our choice is
based on-tournament play.
There were many other boys
who performed in great style, such
as Hataya of Gle Elum, johnson Of
Ellensburg, Robinson and Tibbling
of Selah and Wilson of Yakima.
Those two boys, Robinson and Tib-
bling played great ball, all the
time and it was tough on Robin
son, that Jack Graham, with his
smooth ball handling and his 81
points against Selah, had to be in
the same tournament, because
Robinson would have been our
choice for center otherwise.
Mataya, although a last years
member of the all stars, was hand
icapped severely with several boils
and if you think that doesn't af-
feet ones play, just try it out
sometime.
The members of the Lions team
were up and downers, as were
Pasco, with the exception Of Fox
ley and the only other lower valley
player that we can consider was
Row, who certainly played great
ball in the tournament.

A Thought For Today
A Course Is Charted

At long last the thing for which all of us wouldbe suers have been wishing and waiting has happened Com mon sense and the American spirit of understanding com promise have entered the boodspattered arena of current economic controversy.
 The suspicious debut was made in Detroit where of Automobile Workers got together calmly talked their differences in atmosphere of cooperative honesty rather than in that of the ecrmnatng supesenstvity which has marked many labormanagemen conferences and made the astonishing discovery that continued production was to their mutual interest Both sides in fact, so thor oughly convinced that operating plant preferable to
 closed one that each found itself willing to sacrifice nane class "ace and announce series of genuine concessions
 The company agreed to an lS-cent per hour wage in crease retroactive to January and to ume grievance Investigating status for factory union representatives, The union agreed to prevent illegal ostpages and to sane tion discharge of troubemaking inefficient workers So saying the two parties shook hands and parted friends to meet again the morning at their place of bus not enemies under painful truce but as industrial partners pointing the way to new era of economic peace It was simple as that.
 Elsewhere the picture remains dametricaly different Just how sadly different revealed with the release at almost the tme of preliminary estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics covering the month of January The record shows that during that month there appoX mately 500 strikes involving grand total of 1,75OOOO employees and producing a-time high (or appro pratey ow) of 9200000 mandays lost It does not show the infinite human suffering inevitably involved
 That is the unacceptable story of American industrial civilization in this Year of Our Lord 946 That the by human folly And yet American city, capitol of the automotve industry in that period representatives ot the warning factions faced with the problems and exposed to the explosive clements met and arrived at an amicable and mutually satisfactory solution

MARCH
(New York Tlmes)

No matter what the weather of the moment, when March arrives we prick up our vernal ears and begin to look for spring, Isn't 1t al- most time for the Snowdrops to be poktng up, on the sheltered side of the house at leaStq Where are the erocuseS9 Malingeringq Grape hya- einthS-what of them9 And when we see fresh green growth in the hardy primulaS we are tempted to announce springs arrived.
 Then we go out in the sloshy woods and look, Sure enough buds are fat on the swamp naples, But they can remain at this stage another month, and they probably will, before they really open. Dog wood buds stand out against the sky; but they won't be open for ale most two months yet, even under average circumstances, and we know 1t, A cardinal whistles from up the hillside, and for just a mo- ment the heart leaps, But cardinals have been around these parts most of the winter and they were whist ling two months ago, the very same song they are offering now.
 Catkins dangle from the black birch, but catkins still tight shut and sheathed against the weather. It will take a succession of really warm days to spring their scales open and give them any signifi- canoe. There are flower buds biz as thumbs on the rhododendron be- side the driveway, but the evergreen leaves are still curled against the cold and there won't be a sign of color in those buds till they are twice this size and two months older.
 No sign of violets yet, not even hopeful leaves. Lilac buds are just beginning to swell. Even the bold forsythia is biding its time. It's March, but few March days never yet made spring. April is needed. too, But We can look, hopefully. And We do.

CANCER RESEARCH
(Hartford Courantl

NkaoA NAbRA SQdA AAatf
 As there is no thoughtful citizen who is not aware of the dreadful toll taken by cancer each year, it is remarkable that there has been no widespread elamor for an all-out marshalling of scientific forces to combat 1t in the same manner that scientists were enlisted to create the atomic bomb, Senator Claude Pep per, of Florida, and Representative Matthew M, Nicely, of West Virginia, recently introduced bill in Con- greSS calling for an appropriation of $l00, 0,0000 900 to finance an intensive effort to find cure for cancer.
 William James the philosopher and psychologist long ago point out manxind's evident inability to in- vest its treascre and utilize its en- ergies in combating the moral equivalent of war, the fight against ignorance and disease, to the same degree of intensity that it waged war on the battlefield, But there have been encouraging symptoms that an increasing awareness of the need for intergration of medical re- search in the fight against cancer is developing. Within recent months, pr. Charles F. Kettering announced his plan to apply the same tech- niques he has used so successfully in industry to scientific research in cancer. The Sloan-Kettering Insti- tute for Cancer Research which is being organized will doubtless con- tribute much toward the conquest of this disease.
 Without discussing the merits of the bill pending in Congress or sug- gesting that medical research can best be conducted under the aegis of government rather than through private foundations, the introduc- tion of this measure does have the virtue of focusing public attention on mans foremost enemy.

Public Questions

Congress and the Administration hang tight to the issues of The current position to have boiled down to what has been called wage increase without denying the rights of industry to plead and beg for price increases.
 The majority of manufacturing industries depend upon steel and that will cost them five dollars ton Man ufacturers also pay higher prices for everything that into manufactured articles How then in simple terms of addition and subtraction is it possible for industries n voved in strikes to business Wouldn't they have to gamble on fringe profits? Or wouldn't most of them wakeup and discover their business operating absolute loss?

 But, anyhow, that's that. and now as to the Braves and why wish they'd gone somewhere else.
 In the old days, you could almost tell what club was training in any given place by noting which license plates the vehicles encountered or parked in the streets. That was not the original idea of inviting the ball clubs. The original boosters were thinking mostly in terms of the datelines stories and the incidental advertising of climate to be had from the fact that baseball games being played here while much of the north still frozen beneath blanket of snow
 But something unexpected and far more potent began to develop from the type of Hitting literature my brothers of the profession were wiring and mailing to their papers. Those with any freedom wandered off into an occasional column that had nothing to do with baseball. They'd describe the fishing, the bathing the golf, maybe even the orange groves or the Indian village at the edge of the Everglades And those drudges who stuck strictly to their hits, runs and errors couldn't avoid mentioning the blaz- ing sun that got in rockies eyes. or the fact that Babe Ruth knocked one over the fence and all the way across the street into the front yard where some ladies were sitting around in bathing suits.
 There were plenty of people in the north with enough money, and enough of winter fact that undoubtedly exists at the moment, only more so. They'd never thought about coming to these parts but these lyrical descriptions got em They decided to try It, and where better to try than this spot their local sports writers describing so rapturousy9

 This is really great spot. and it begins to look as if 1t didn't make any mistake in its ball club. The Braves and the Giants drew a record at Miami Sunday They haven't tried it here yet, but this is hustling ball club under Southworth the word is a ready around and they're already erecting extra beachers at the best ball park the Braves have ever been able to ca theirs, in this portion of the planet
