CRITICISM

We are assured that everyone
IN Kennewick who had a part in
the plans and carrying them thru
did his best to make it a good be-
ginning. So, if you have criti-
csms, aim them towards things
and situations and events, and not
towards individuals! It was a
mighty big undertaking and such
a large scale that with not more
than three months planning we're
here to say that it was a great
JOB well done by those who gave
50 much time and effort to it."

But for men and women, the
boys and girls, who had backed
the festival with their hearts and
their minds, their time, energy
talent and money, the verdict was
plain:
"Win, lose or draw, the festival
was a fine celebration, and we
want to knoW-what do we have
to do to start getting ready for
the next one?" ..C.-. -..-....
. Clyde Anderson, president of the
festival association, estimated that
the stupendous three-day celebra-
ton had attracted fifty thousand
spectators to its many events.
Committee workers, adding up
the results of their far flung tic
ket sales campaign, observing that
many stubs were taken directly to
waiting receptacles to insure their
inclusion, called for all outstand-
ing funds in the hands of sales
people. Miss Margaret Reymore,
secretary of the association, has
been designated to receive them
at the city hall.
Opening Parade
Floats entered in the colorful
opening day parade, under the di-
rection of Chairman Howard
Beste, were divided into three
classes.
First prize in the Commercial
Class went to the Church Grape
Juice Company float, with the
Kennewick Valley Telephone Com
pany entry a close runner up.
In the Fraternal and Religious
Class, first prize was awarded to
the Kiwanis float, depicting Ken
neWick's efforts to secure swim
ming pool and second prize to an
agricultural float from Finley
Grange 414.
Dave Palmer's "Play for Health
float, an attractive cottage mount
ed on a flat bed truck, took first
prize in the Juvenile Class. Sec
ond prize went to the Campfire
Girls.
The Kiwanis Float was also win
ner OF the grand prize. -

Benton and Roxy theatres was
comedy and gracious Joan Smith
of Prosser. She accepted her
crown, royal robes and the title
of Queen of the Realm of Con-
cordia at the Festival Plaza be-
fore packed crowd of onlook-
ers.
Staying on through the festival
as the retinue of Queen Joan and
guests of honor of the city of Ken
newick, were Princesses Donna
Moran of Wallula, Patsy Mont
gomery of Benton City; Marjorie
Slackney Of Cornell; Sally Byers
of Richland and Donna Billingsley
of Kennewick.
At the Tuesday luncheon meet
ing of the Prosser Commercial
Club, Representative Al Henry,
acting as ambassador from the
Court of Concordia, presented
Queen Joan with lovely opal
and ruby dinner ring gift to her
from the loyal subjects of her
realm. =eAs.f a d, il a.
Surprised by the unexpected
gesture, Queen Joan expressed her
thanks, and being dissatisfied
with the way she had said them,
assured the Ambassador that a
letter conveying her gratitude
would be forthgoing to the Grape

very near future. -

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

PARIS-One year ago, Jimmie Byrnes, newly appointed Secretary of State, was one of the cockiest men in Washington. Bustling back and forth between the State De- partment and the White. House he gave the impression of complete confidence in his own ability to un- ravel the tangled state of the world.
 Today, James F. Byrnes is a vis- ibly older and wiser man. His air of cocksureness is gone. He is tir- ed and his health is not too good. His gracious South Carolina charm is just as contagious as ever, but sometimes his buoyant spirit lags and it is easy to see that the past year has taken it's toll on Jimmie Byrnes.
