GILLESPIE'S DRUG STORE is
featuring an unusual window dis
play this week built around Chen
Yu products. Spotted here and
there among the various prepara-
tions are such oriental objects as
chopsticks, saki bowls, rice plates,
an urn for holding ashes of the
dead, etc.
THAT TROPHY resting in Giles
pies window, however, is not part
of the oriental display, but is the
Journal trophy to be given away
at the county fair. 1t will be pre-
sented to the winner of one of the
races on the Thursday speed pro
gram. incidentally, the fair board
has spared no effort this year to
bring to the people of Noble COun-
ty one of the best speed programs
and we'll balanced fairs in the his
tory of the agricultural society.

serious damage was done. Bud

on the counter, while Grace had an
unscheduled bawth and hair wash.

Iearlier i'm the season.
Not given much chance as
the season opened, Coach George
Karamatic and Assistant Jake
Schelle have emphasized fast team
play and physical conditioning.
Starting the season with no more
than four lettermen, the squad
has been built into a clever, fast
machine with strong reserve
strength.
Pasco, on the other hand, has q
fine array of experienced players
spanked by FoXley, Fast, Boyd,
Ellison and others. The team has
reached the final game Of the
season with no defeats or ties and
has run up an amazing scoring
record.
Looks like a college team" is
the frequent heard comment when
the Bulldogs take the field.
Definitely the underdogs, the
Lions are nevertheless given more
than an outside chance to win.
Probably the biggest crowd to ever
attend game in Kennewick is
expected for the Monday after
noon affair on the Kennewick
field.
Advance tickets are on sale at
Visger and Vibber Drug Stores,
the Pollyanna and the Pastime as
well as four places in Pasco.

other game statistics, see page four.

Big Budget;

After weeks of careful study and

council Wednesday night gave fl
nal passage to ordinances 458 and
459. The former officially adopts
the city's N47 budget and the 9TH
er establishes the rate of city tax

The budget calls for the largest
amount of expenditure in the city's
history. With the current expense
running very close to this years
figure, the biggest additional out
lay is ST. ass for the street de-
partment. This figure includes the
construction, opening and surfac-

The final budget is practically

Also Ridley feels, some separate
body should have been established
to levy and enforce penalties for
infractions of the rationing regu-

Since the date of his resigna-
ton in April of 1945, Ridley has
had no active part in the ration

fence I had during the war;" he

If you've been waiting for an
expert opinion on how the Am
erican people reacted to rationing
during the war, here is one given
three days after local rationing
boards quietly ended their brief
but busting lives throughout the
nation. And by man who ought
to know.
Everybody favored rationing,"
fatty says c. E. Ridley, who asked
his company to Donate him to a
less well paid job so that he
could have time to serve on the
Kennewick board.
EVERYBODY favored rationing for
everybody else" he elaborated,
but everybody's own case was a
special one that demanded pref
erential treatment" ..........
Ridley was barking back to the
time when he began working with
Kennewick's original rationing
panel, under the Craftsmanship OF
Carl Williams. The other board
members were George Walker,
Bob Brown, and Vic Heberline.
I'VE were meeting once week
then to allocate tires and gasoline"
he recalls. "Irma Pratt, now Mrs.
Neil Miller, was our part time
clerk, and we conducted our
meetings first in the City Hall,
then in the old Chevrolet garage
that later became the Waffle
House, then in a back room of the
Kennewick Hotel, and finally in
office space in the Hoover block
on Kennewick Avenue"
Ridley wryly confesses that adj
ministering the local rationing
program was never easy. "But

Uncle Roy's Corner

One thing Louis XIV learned dur
ing his youth was the art of dancing
He liked this amusement, and
seemed never more pleased than
while he was in the ballroom. The
dances in which he took part are
described as having been stately
and suited to king
A picture of this king in a dane
ing costume has come down to us.
On the costume is a large image
of the sun and its bright rays.
There is a story about Louis XIV
which has been widely accepted
We are told that he said one day:
"L'etat c'est mol"
Those French words have the
meaning, The state is myself
Commonly, however, they are trans
lated as Il am the state!"
Full proof that Louis spoke those
words is lacking. In any case, he
acted as if he believed them. He
wanted his royal power to cover
everything of Importance in the
affairs Of France 1t seemed to him
mistake to let an assembly meet
to draw up laws.
Early in his reign, Louis had a
finance minister named Fououet.
This man gave a great banquet in
honor of the king. A vast sum
1zO 600 hvres-was spent ON the
affair, which tok place at a large
