TREMENDOUS wartime welfare job
was TO be achieved, the widest
possible participation would be
necessary. To this end the two
Labor War Relief Committees
agreed to merge their proposed
fund raising into those OF the Nat
ional War Fund and the American
Red Cross.
The Stats Of the two committees
were regarded as the best possible
means for giving direction to the
many thousands from among the
ranks Of labor, who, AZ local Red
Gross chapter volunteers, would do
the actual solicitation of funds
without any compensation or de-
sire for compensation.
Accordingly, an agreement was
reached in 1912 providing that the
actual expenses Of the national and
regional planning and publicity
stats Of the Labor War Relief
Committee engaged full time in
the fund raising campaigns Of the
National War Fund and the Amer
lean Red Cross would be prorated
between the National War Fund
and the American Red Cross and
reimbursed to the Labor War Re-
lief Committees on an annual bas-
is. Vouchers for all of these ex-
penseS were submitted, audited,
and following approval, were paid
by the National War Fund and the
American Red Cross - approx.
mately two-thirds by the former,
and one-third by the latter.
After full discussion and care
full consideration, the original
agreement was approved by the
Central Committee Of the Ameri.

Triangulation surveys, such as
this one, are based on the mathe.

Thus we zee that the reading Of
these angles Is Of extreme Inn

fairly constant, this bending Of
light rays is minimized.
The angles are read again and

over and they are all read again.
Sixteen times in each Of many

and seconds and tenths Of seconds

The u. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey Service il one Of the old
est Of our governmental depart
ments.. At present It is operating
under the Department Of Com
merce, but It has, in its over one
hundred years Of existence been
under the guidance Of several Of
the other departments Of the gov
eminent.
The presence Of q large survey
party here at Kennewick brings
the function Of this service to our
attention. Under the Leadership
Of Lieut.. Com. J. T. Jarman, the
group il completing "A extensive
survey O. The valley Of The Snake
river at the request Of the Army
Engineers. i
During last fall, this party
worked west from Lewiston UNI
til there were s. miles from that
point. They then moved their
base of operations to the Pasco
end Of the ssscheme"-as the
plan Is called-and started sur
veying eastward. The present
site Of observations is about IS
miles east of Pasco, with a~50-
mile gap to fill before they reach
the last points surveyed from the
Lewiston end.
Through the kindness Of II,
Com. Jarman, your reporter Wis
tied the party at work in the field
last week end. Before we left for
the field, this genial officer ex-
planned carefully the purpose and
the operations Of a survey, add
ing here and there q touch Of the
history Of the service.
To begin, there have been al
least three 'efirst order" surveys
made in this vicinity, all Of which
have q common point on the east
bank Of the Columbia near Pas
CO. They were made in 1925,
1891 and 1941 respectively, and
points were set up and measured
which were Is to Is miles apart.
Upon one Of these 'frameworls''
of points, the present survey Is
now being made.
A first order" survey Is a me-
TEDIOUS thing. Points are estab-
lished and brass markers set IN
concrete are placed in locations
that are chosen for easy visibility,
one to another. Hence we find
them on hilltops that command q
long view Of the surrounding
country, for the lines on these
surveys are sometimes Is miles
in length: For extreme accuracy,
all Observing Is done at night.
Specially focused battery-operated
lights are mounted at the points
to be observed. From the observ-

Chamber Asks
Restoration Of
Umadua Funds

Fund solicitations, garbage dis
posal and Umatilla Dam construc.
ton were up for discussion at to-
days noon session of the Kenne-
wick Chamber Of Commerce.
A resolution was endorsed ask
ing the Senate finance committee
to restore all funds deleted from
the House Bill for construction
work on the Umatilla and Snake
river dams. Funds had been slash
ed to cover only investigation work
on the projects with no funds for
actual construction.
Garbage disposal was brought
up by the business committee
which had discussed the question
in committee meeting. A recon-
mendation was made and given
approval by the body to ask the
city council to install trash con-
tainers on Kennewick Avenue and
to launch an educational campaign
to insure their use.
The cooperation Of the fire, po-
lice and health departments and
the schools was sought in further
ing this campaign. The commit
tee asked for more time to make q
more complete study Of garbage
collection needs.
Mayor J. c. Pratt outlined the
present system Of private collec-
ton and pointed out what might
be done with q compulsory system.
The committee plans to meet on
the question again next week and
will study proposals for 4 munich
pal system as well as private4 Nc
Recommendation viii be made nm
til a complete study Of the q,les-
ton has been completed.
The same committee won ap-
prevail for a system Of protecting
businessmen and residents from
unethical or dishonest fund col
lectors. All collectors will apply
to the secretary Of the chamber
for approval. He viii survey their
qualifications and other details. He
win then give them q permit card
or reject their application after
discussing the matter with three
members, who will remain anony-
nous. This plan in no way 1eop-
ardizes the collection Of funds for
worthy causes such as the Red
Cross and March Of Dimes and
others.
