Post Office 10
Open Sub-Siaiion

To speed the Christmas mail and
better serve the community, the
Kennewick Postmaster Roger Rec
ords has announced plans for the
opening of a sub-Station in the
S. & ]. Motors building on Kenne-
wick avenue.
The service will be established
on Dec. 8. 1t is expected to keep
the place open from 8 am. to 8 p
m. However, definite hours will bf
determined by the demand. The
station will handle parcel post and
stamps only.
With mail expected to reach q
staggering high this season, postal
officials warn shippers to be es.
pecially careful in packaging. Piles
of parcel post are necessarily high.
er and heavier and extreme care
should be taken to package Sc
curely. This applies particularly
to fragile items.
Packages secured with sealing
tape must carry a notice of declar.
ation,' Walt Woehler, assistant
postmaster, warns. 81 have beer
told that some small stickers carry.
ing the necessary declaration will
be furnished by a local business
firm and will be available at the
postoffice. And please refrain
from using Christmas seals on the
address side of a package. These
interfere with the placing Of the
stamps and add to the confusion
in handling the heavy volume o,
Christmas mail

een-Agers Steal
Turkey. Beer and
j Wo Cars Monday

Two teen age boys were under
investigation in Kennewick today,
while the police department fed
an unclaimed turkey on the eve of
Thanksgiving, and wondered how
to dispose of case and half
of stolen beer.
That was the last development
in a series of events that involved
the theft of two cars by a gang of
teen ayers.
A car, belonging to F. I. Chaplain
of Richland, was stolen off the
streets Monday night. Police Of
ficers pushing a search came up
on it some hours later in the pos
session of three or four teen age
boys, who were using tito push
a Lincoln Zephyr just taken from
Park View Homes. The car con-
tanned the stolen turkey and the
stolen beer. The boys fled.
Two boys, brought in for ques-
tioning by officers, were still
stoutly putting forward their
alib1s Wednesday, in the face OF
the positive Identification by Po-
lice Officer Lincoln, and Ken
newick taxi driver. Probation Of
ficer johnson, of Pasco, was con-
tinuing his investigation.
The facts seemed to tie in with
another car theft reported Satur-
day night. Police recovered the We
hicle early Sunday, one and a half
miles west of the city limits. Again
there was evidence that the car
had been used in turkey stealing
"The responsibility for these
lawless acts of teen-age boys
traces right back to the parents, .
Police Chief NJ. II. Kershaw com.
mented. 'The parents are permit
ting them to stay out late at night
and they are not checking or con.
trolling their activities"

Lashock Wins
Kiwanis Grid
Annual Award

Kennewick Kiwanians Tuesday
played host to the high school
football squad and the coaches,
packing them in for not only a
dinner, but football movies as well.
Joe LaShock, who placed on the
Valley All Star team, won the
KiwaniS award for outstanding de-
fensive play during the season
which ended with the Armistice
Day thriller with Pasco. Others,
who had received recognition from
the club during the season were
Lee Long, Dale Westermeyer, Dick
Smith, Jim Falk, Harold Perkins
and Don Sherk. Ken Perkins won
the award last year, it first pre-
Sentation.
The award is gold cup of the
perpetual type, with the winners
name to be added each season.
The pictures were a surprise and
were presented by the Associated
Oil company. One reel was part
of game of several years ago in
which the boys had an opportunity
to see their coach, George Kara
matte, star for Gonzaga against
Santa Clara. Karamatic came in
for neat amount of ribbing from
the boys as the game went on to
a scoreless tie. SLOPPY tackle''
and 'Hey, Coach, when are you 60
ing to break loose" were some of
the remarks heard in the darkened
room as the play unfolded on the
screen.
Nominations of officers We're
announced at the meeting for the
coming year. Elections will be held
at the December meeting. Nom
mated were George Cloud, presi-
dent; John Neuman, first vice.
president; Hal Brutzman, second

low, D. E. Finnigan, Rolfe Tuve,

lis Dorothy and Steve Selby for
directors.
The election was originally
scheduled for Dec. 10, but the date
was moved up in order to give the
new officers an opportunity to at
tend the district meeting in Walla
Walla on December 8.
It is proposed that the first vice
president is to serve as program
chairman and the second vice
president as attendance chairman.
It is further proposed that the

Community Chest
Campaign Lays

After a good start in the initial
days of the current Community
Chest drive, the results have lag
ged and the check-up Monday
morning showed a total of only
$1258.75 turned in.
Dennis Huntley, chairman Of the
committee stated that the returns
were especially slow from the rur-
al areas. "The farm families should
feel they are part of the COM
munity," Huntley said. Especial.
ly in consideration of the fact that
the Chest funds will be used for
young people. The rural youth
have every opportunity to take
part in the various youth activi-
ties which benefit"
The chairman pointed out that
the returns in general have been
slow and urged all residents to de-
eide promptly on. the amount of
their contributors and send them
in.
"A large number of volunteer
workers are busy on this drive"
Huntley said. at is discouraging
for these people to be forced to
make return calls. Please help
them as well as your community
by responding promptly and gem
erously."
A Community Chest worker will
be stationed at the city hall every
afternoon except Sunday to re-
ceive contributions.
First organization to report a do
nation in the campaign was the
Kennewick Kiwanis Club with
contribution of 500.

Knnewick City Council, John
Neuman, the street department
md any others involved in estab-

wamatulated. However, merch-
auts in the block might well
allow the trend to its logical con-

Coshal Lecture
is Well Received

Kumar Goshal pleased recep-
tive audience Thursday, Nov. IA
at the high school auditorium on
the topic, people of India" Speak
ing with a perfect and beautiful
mastery of the English language,
Mr.. Goshal gave a revealing in
sight to the situation in India as
well as that of Indonesia and Indo
China.
Goshal proclaimed "India wishes
to be free to govern or misgovern
herself" adding that chaos and
even revolution is bound to fol-
low until she rids herself of the
present burdensome feudal sys-
tenn.
"India asks of America not help
of shipments of food, but exchange
of trade and cooperation in her
struggle for independence" he ex-
planned, "and once free, India can
solve her problems Of object pow
erty, hunger and unemployment
by industrialization, land division
and world trade"
Goshal attributed midas pow
erty principally to the monopoly
and cartel system used by the Eng
lish corporations. "Taxes are paid
into the British Government on
profits derived from Indian re-
sources, and at the same time the
resources and products are drain
ed off at tremendous profit to the
British investor, while India suf-
fers from acute hunger" he said
He stated emphatically that India
is potentially rich and could be-
come self sustaining.

forty-five wins, which included 10
cups. The newer bark, put in the
