See Big Show
Here in August

With Kennewick people in the
mood for circuses following the
success of the ''Kid Circus" last
Saturday comes welcome news In
the announcement this week that
Cole Brothers, one of the largest
shows of its kind in the world,
will play Kennewick this summer.
p, N, Branson, general agent
and traffic manager, was here
Wednesday making preliminary
arrangements. The show is Sched-
uled for Sunday, August ID to be
sponsored by the K e IN e w ic k
Grape Festival committee.
Clyde Anderson, chairman Of the
festival committee, in commenting
on the proposal, said: "This is a
real high calibre show and Kenne-
wick is exceptionally fortunate in
securing it. Ordinarily it only
stops in bigger places and it is GER
tainly a proof of Kennewick's
growth that we can secure this
fine circus"
The big show travels by rail
and features twenty elephants, the
Christiana family, bareback riding
marvels; some of the top-billed
aerial acts, novelty acts and
clown. The menagerie has an ex-
cellent collection of animals from
all over the world. And clowns
of course!
Details of arranging for the
show will be worked out as quick
ly as possible to insure the smooth
operation of the show.

Landing at Moon Island Airfield
Wednesday, the delegates were
met by an enthusiastic reception
committee Of high ranking Active
Club and municipal officials. From
that moment on, they say, their
Kennewick grown cargo Of pro-
duce was in constant demand.
Their shipment of Bing and
Lambert cherries was served Fri
day evening at the convention
banquet. At intervals up and
down the long tables, large and
small bowls of the luscious fruit
Were within easy reach Of the 300
delegates from all parts Of the ma
ton, who made short work OF the
delicacy.
Church's Grape Juice came in
for its inning at the Saturday night
Installation Ball. Officiating at
the punch bowl, Mokler and Klos-
ter say that they were hard put to
satisfy the demand, as the other
delegates swarmed around them
to drink the juice that they could
not believe was produced without
the aid Of sugar.
"From 10 o'clock that night UNI
til the ball closed at / am" Mok-
Ter recounts, "we served % quarts
Of grape juice and many Of the
delegates from other parts Of the
county and Canada asked us to
autograph the bottles-either full
or empty-to be taken home with
them as convention souvenirs"
Nor was the grape festival for
gotten. Kloster and Mokler tri-
umphantly presented their own
convention trophy to the Active
club at its regular meeting Tues
day night-their grape festival
banner, autographed in every con-
ceivable space by Activians from
far and wide.
"They sure know what ana when
our grape festival will be-" they
said.
Mokler and Kloster made bid
for Kennewick as the convention
city in 1850, and they believe there
is good chance that they will be
able to swing the designation
within the next several years.
Activians selected Sacramento
as the site for their convention in
1947; Calgary will play host in
1913 and Honolulu has already
been selected as the 1852 conven-
ton city.
Kloster was elected to member
ship on the Resolutions Committee
ono of fho ynoct iy,flrIenfial hocieS
in the club, and he is determined
to do everything possible to bring
the convention to the city.
Although they encountered adj
verse weather on their outbound
flight and were logged in on the
morning of their return, the dele
gates completed their trip by land
ing at the Twin City Airport Sum
day without having experienced
any trouble.

I'M the homemakers mean what

n American ideals that merchants
and individuals alike across the
nation are accepting this respon-

Commentator remarked that he be-
iieyed two groups would most eff
actively keep prices in line. These
are the women and the veterans.
Ne will readily agree that it would

them.

Hospital Group
Incorporates; To
Push Operation

Articles of incorporation
were approved and adopted
at a meeting of the organiza-
ton committee for the open
ing and operation of the Pas
co Naval Air Station hospital
at the Pasco USO hall last
Thursday night.
A special committee was di-
rected to present a petition
from the group to the county
commissioners of Benton and
Franklin counties and to offer
all possible assistance to the COM
missioner to get the hospital in
operation as uickly as possible.
Following approval of the arti-
cleS motion was carried to pro-
coed with incorporation at once.
The group will be known as the
Columbia Basin Hospital associa-
ton. If details of the plan can be
worked out the county commiss-
toner's will lease the hospital from
the navy and in turn suitcase it
to the new association who will
operate the institution.
Considerable discussion develop
ed over clause that would pledge
the group to turn assets over to
the KenneWick Hospital associa-
ton when and if Kennewick at "a
later date was able to provide a
hospital building. It was felt that
the group had no authority to bind
the association and that the pledge
would in effect mean little. At
torney James Leavy proposed that
the matter be handled later by a
resolution of intent. The con-
sensus at the meeting was that
this proposition should be con-
sidered only as a temporary mea-
sure and that the group should
lend all support to a permanent
hospital in KenneWick.
Doctors present especially urg-
ed that new institution should
be put in Kennewick and that if
population should increase to such
a point assto demand additional
space that the institution as well
as the present Pasco hospital
should be enlarged. They point
ed out that two larger hospitals
are more economical of operation
than three smaller ones.
It was estimated that a fund of
approximately $25, 1000 would be
reuired to get the navy hospital
into operation. It is the plan of
the group to raise the fund in the
two communities.
What the final disposition Of the
valuable equipment, probably
worth some 100000, would be
can not be determined. It is ex-
pected that at some future date it
may be declared surplus. At that
time it will be the purpose of the
group to secure the equipment for
a Kennewick hospital and to pro-
vide additional equipment in
Pasco.
A temporary board of directors
was elected. They were Rev. J. B.
Coan, John Vibber, Anon Mueller,
Rolfe Tuve, T. j. Boyd, Fred HUI
Der, Rev. Charles Hatton, Thomas
Bishop and Gilbert Hartman.
A meeting is scheduled for July
IL at which time the group will
consider bylaws.

rises in wholesale prices would be
reflected in retail prices.
Eve will refuse to buy merch-

high that we consider them to be
inflationary," said one retail gro
Ger.
It was conceded that food prices
will probably rise a small amount
with meat and produce taking a
sharper rise. However, OPA had
already planned general increase
in food ceiling prices.
1t was felt by some that labor's
demands for higher wages may
result in a higher price level. IF
