Ramon Lavelle, journalist, dip

Ramon Lavalle escaped from
Japan with his life, his wife, his
baby and little else only because
the Argentine Government which
he represented in Tokyo threaten
ed reprisals on japanese consular
officials in the Argentine if he
were not permitted to leave. His
keen blue eyes had seen too much
-as Consul in Hongkong in the
dark days of December, 1941, and
in Japan where he was stationed
until January, 1913 - and his
chronic habit of reporting the
truth to his government had evok-
ed the displeasure of the Nippon
csc war lords.
Born in Buenos Aires, the young
South American started work on
newspapers when he was fifteen
years old. In 1882, as travelling
correspondent for La Nacion, he
was sent to cover the japanese war

Lions Win In
inal Seconds
Over Richland
Kennewick 6. Richland O.

kenneWlck b, Rlchland U.
That is how the score book
reads, but the story of the game
last Friday night in the Lions Den
tells a lot more. Evenly matched,
the two teams had battled to the
last minute of play with unsullied
goal lines.
Uncorking a drive in the last
quarter, the Lions took the ball
from midfield in a series of run
ming and pass plays to the six
yard line. Two line plays resulted
in short gains. On the third down
reverse play got mixed up and
Kennewick was thrown for a loss
to the seven. On the fourth down
an off tackle play left the ball on
the two yard stripe.
Forced to kick, Richards line
buckled and the kick was blocked
where Dick Smith, Kennewick
lend, fell on the ball for the lone
touchdown of the game. The con-
version was unsuccessful. There
were only rs seconds left of the
final quarter. rrsr-r a-.
Kennewick had a slight advan-
tage in yardage gained, with pass
ing resulting in several long gains.
Kennewick plays Sunnyside
Friday night at Sunnyside. 1t is
expected to be a close one. Sunny
side last week trounced a rugged
GrandVieW team.

Prospect Of Air
Mail Facilities
Grow Brighter

Kennewick's prospects for feed
err air line service appeared to be
Frightening on the eve of National
Air Mail Week, October q through
November 2.
Don Knowles, vice president of
Columbia Aircraft, Inc, at Vista
Field, announces that his firm has
purchased twin engined five
place Cessna plane to strengthen
their bid for a feeder line.
1--WE have applied for a license
to operate a feeder line service
from Walla Walla to Seattle" he
said with Kennewick as the
main Office, and with other regu-
larly scheduled stops at Prosser,
GSandview, Sunnyside, Yakima
and Wenatchee."
The plane will be pressed into
service at once, he said, to fly
sportsmen to distant hunting and
fishing sites.
Postmaster Roger Records also
announced developments relating
to the feeder line. Recalling the
action of city postal authorities to
secure approval for special air
mail. cachet for use during the
Grape Festival, he called upon the
residents of the tri-cities area to
help him stress the need for local
airmail service by using more air
mail.
"The airmail rate is now Sc an
ounce" he noted. "Only &c more
than the regular mail rate, and
the speed of transmission more
than justifies the difference in
postage if rapid service is needed"
Letters mailed here before ten
in the morning will be in Denver
that night at 1908 am" he point
ed out. ~- --~ -.- r-
Other illustrative schedules are:
leave Kennewick at 800 pm, ar
rive in Minneapolis the next day
at 9:55 am; leave Kennewick at
300 pm, arrive in Chicago the
next day at $50 pm; leave Kenne-
wick at 800 pm, arrive in San
Francisco the next day at 1:42 pm.
Word has just been received,
Records added that foreign air.
mail rates will be reduced Nov
ember l by at least fifty percent.
That alone, he notes, proves the
great interest of the post Office de-
partment in extending existing
services.

Fire Truck, Car
In Collision;
Mayor Driving

A combination OF auto collision
and inaccurately reported fire
alarms gave Kennewick firemen a
bad time tuesday afternoon.
Mayor j. G. Pratt, driving the
third of the fire fighting vehicles
TO answer the alarm, took TO the
curb at the corner of Kennewick
Avenue and Washington street,
observers said. to avoid a head-on
collision with a car driven by HUI
go c. Lohrman. Within the space
Of seconds. the front ends Of the
fire truck and the Oldsmobile Sc
dan, post Office letter box and
the mayors safety driving record
of "a years had all been smashed.
In the meantime, two other
pieces Of equipment sent 10
wrong addresses on Kennewick
Avenue and Second Avenue, be-
fore finally receiving the notifi-
cation that the fire was burning
on First Avenue. Arriving at last
at the right address, they discover
ed that the fire which had started
in an automobile, had been eX-
lllBdiotlSa.
No one was injured in the ac-
cident, and the fire truck was out
of service for only "a hours, Fire
Chief Herb MalchoW said today.
The Lohrman car was more Sc
riously damaged, but no estimate
of the repair cost has yet been
made.
Noting that the law requires all
drivers to come TO an immediate
stop when the sound of a siren is
heard or a vehicle bearing red
Light is seen approaching, Chief
exercise greater caution.
There as been a common and
growing disposition on the part Of
Kennewick drivers to disregard
the regulations pertaining to fire
and other emergency runs" Chief
Malchow stated land city firemen
have long feared that an accident
would result from this failure TO
comply with the law"
Violators, he pointed out, can
still be cited after the emergency
is past, even though law enforce
ment officers have been too busy
at the time to do SO.
"For their own safety" Cher
Malchow concluded drivers must
exercise more caution when en-
tering an intersection, or when a
siren or an approaching red light
warns them to come to a STOP"
