Prune, Peach Harvest
Labor Appears Ample

With late pruneS and peaches
starting, the Emergency Farm La
Dor Office has been able to make
more placements in farm work
than it has for some time. It seems
however, that farmers era not
contracting the Office for as many
workers as they have in the past,
as the people with transportation
are driving out to the orchards
and contracting the farmers direct.
It is suggested that farmers who
do need workers should anticipate
their needs and contact the farm
labor Office few days in advance.
The supply Of labor in fruit pick
ing is about equal to the demand
at present.

Necessity is the mother Of in
vention!
Few have ever quarreled with
that dogmatic statement, but it
took couple of Kennewick hens
to give the old addage the double
barreled maternal approach.
For those imaginative fowls, be-
coming the mother Of eggs and in
ventions at one and the same time
was dead easy.
First case to excite public at
tention was that Of hen owned
by Al Reavis of Route one. APP
parently alarmed by the perils
that individually confront the
smooth, reliable type Of egg, this
resourceful chicken somehow de-
veloped "non-skid" shell for
her product that obviously en-
hances the chances that the 'shehn
fruit" will stay where It Is laid.
And, joining the numerous. com
pany of unknown, but not unsung
innovators is the anonymous hen
that created the egg within an. egg.
Mrs. Pearl Woods, Of 224 North
Elm, discovered it among others
she purchased at a Kennewick
store.
The principle Of the thing acts
like that Of the life raft that, if
preached in its outer covering,
still has a second compartment IN
tact to keep the craft afloat.
This egg, brought by Mrs. Wood
to the Office of the Courier-Repor-
ter, has within it another small
egg, about the size of a Bing chen.
~, with a perfectly formed shell.
See what your up against, when
you try to thWart q hen?

Queen Wins Title
Thursday Night
In Smile Contest

AS it is in all contests, there
must be a winner. But in some
competitions the outcome seems
more certain than did the ''Smile
Queen" contest at the Benton and
Roxy theatres the evening of Aug
ust 8, when Donna Billingsley was
chosen Queen of Smiles in Ken
neWick. -.-. -..s.. ....s.s4
Opinions in the eager audience
were as divided as those of the Of
fetal judges appeared to be, when
the twelve charming and comely
girls from Kennewick took the
stage in the finals of the Smile
Queen contest. AS one of the
judges audibly remarked: Select
ing the winner from this group
won't be easy"
Wave after wave of applause
swept the theatres as Clyde An
derson, Mid-State Amusement
Corporation manager and Grape
Festival Association president, re-
peatedly asked spectators to in
dicate their support OF the mdl-
vidua1 candidates.
Exacting as the contest was for
the judges, the demands on the
contestants were equally heavy.
For long intervals, they held their
places on the stage, stepping GAL
lantly forward to smile as Ander-
son called them from time to time.
But, when Queen Donna stepped
forward for her introduction as
winner of the Smile Queen title,
townspeople forgot their rivalries
of moment before to agree that
she would be unanimously sup
ported in her bid for the honor
of "Queen of the Realm of Con-
cordia" on opening day OF the
Grape Festival.
Other contestants, whose lovely
presence on the stage won for
them the admiration of their aud
fence though it failed to win them
first place, and their sponsors were
Rose Falltren, Belairs Bakery;
Frances Dickerson, Clyde's Groc.;
Billie Gravenslund, Beautycraft;
Pat Chartrand, Foxall Studies;
Bonnie McReynolds, Active club;
Ellen WEIGH, The Cottage; uene
Markham, Bunch Finnigan & Co.;
Shirley Bateman, J.DDoverspike;
Elizabeth Lynn, Helen's Style Shop;
Lou Keene, the Arrow Grill; Lola
Hotter, Ray-D-Ant Cleaners.
Kennewick's Smile Queen IS the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.
Billingsly, is a tall, slender blonde
with dark blue eyes, and is 20
years old. She graduated from
Kennewick High School in 1914,
and for two years was employed
by the Mid-State Amusement Co.
in Richland. Queen Donna was
sponsored in the Smile Queen con-
test by DR.. Stephen Selby, optom-
etrist, for whom she is reception

Swimming Class
Hailed By Health
Officials Action

Action of the Pasco City Health
Department brought swimming
classes, sponsored by the Kenne-
wick branch of the American Red
Cross, to an abrupt halt Tuesday.
Instructors and students report
ing for regular classes found pla-
cards posted along the beach,
down stream from the Columbia
bridge and on the Pasco side of
the river, cautioning against swim
ming in the waters.
Bill Reid, instructor in charge,
in discussing the development
said: Eve were fully cognizant Of
reports of health authorities con-
corning the quality of the water
in the Columbia River before our
classes were organized. How
ever, we were also aware that
Kennewick youth, in considerable
numbers, were swimming at var
ious points up and down the river,
and we believed it to be in the best
interests of our young people to
provide them with one central
place, where beginners could be
taught to swim correctly, and
where competent life guards could
be on duty to avert accidents"
The Red Cross classes discover
ed a tremendous interest in swim
ming and aquatic exercise in Ken
newick, Reid points out. From
the beginning, we have had a full
enrolment in our classes" he says
and throughout the course we
found new pupils signing up for
instruction"
In proof of the cautious ap-
proach of the Kennewick Red
Cross Branch to the much-discuss-
ed subject of swimming in the riv-
er and irrigation canal waters,
Reid cites the fact that children
were accepted in classes for in
struction only after their parents
had signed a statement giving per-
mission for the children to be en-
rolled. Parents were also fully
advised of the reports made by the
health authorities following lab
oratory tests of the water.
"In BRIEF" Reid sums it up,
'sthis is only one of many emphatic
indications that Kennewick needs
and must have modern, we'll
equipped swimming pool for its
people"
Recalling that the Active club,
the Athletic club, the Pre-School
Mothers PTA, and many other
Kennewick groups and organiza-
lions had been promoting fencing
Of the irrigation canal and projects
to raise funds for the swimming
pool, Reid described the municipal
pool as the outstanding recreation
al need of the city.

By BETTY BLANCHARD

Laws are not designed to make people good but to make life livable, to permit the weak to survive, and also to provide the average in dividual with the right to live an abundant life and accumulate prop erty, Mrs Norman Alden Downs, of Lexington, Mass, told the Wa terbury Women's Club yesterday afternoon.
 The speaker, an academic lawyer, spoke on elementary law, and touched briefly upon subjects of interest to women, including wills. probate, contracts, and divorce. Life is conducted, she said, on the ability of the individual to adapt himself to his environment which provides. in the final analysis the substance of civilization. So- ciety at large, the speaker pointed out, is controlled by religion or pub- lie opinion, and the individual who is restricted by neither must be cotrolled by law.
 Justice for All
 Though the itricacies of the law may sometimes be incomprehensible to the average layman, Mrs. Downs urged her listeners to remember laws are the result of experience and aims at justice.
