To Survey
North Bank
Botneneck

Progress toward the final COM
pletion of the North Bank high
way received boost this week
with the announcement that the
State Highway department has
included in its new budget an item
of $4,000 for the survey Of new To-
cation around the present bottle
neck of Rock Creek canyon east
from the Goodnow Hills. In addi-
ton Is miles of road east from
Maryhill are to be oiled.
This announcement reached the
Courier-Reporter from Senator
Earl S. Coe who has long sought
this Improvement.
Senator Coe stated that the sur
vey comes as a "direct result Of
your trip with State Highway
District Engineer Winters" Tho
trip was taken this sprng under
the direction of the Northwest
Conservation league. A caravan OF
cars made the trip over the en-
tire route from Kennewick to Bin
gen. Much of the route was bare
ly useable and the Rock Creek
canyon section took the party
away from the river to point
above the Maryhill loops.
The completion of the Rock
Creek section will finally open
up the North Bank highway for
travel on a short fast route from
Kennewick to Vancouver.
Senator Coe also reported that
the department is ready to call for
bids on the construction Of new
road to eliminate the Maryhill
loops. This project calls for $500
600 grading job on new survey
from Maryhill Museum to the top
OF the Goldendale grade, the work
to be done this winter and next
spring.

"Learn to listen to the man
who has listened to you" was the
advice toastmasters Of Kenne-
wick, Pasco, Walla Wa1a ano
other Washington cities heard
Monday evening from their
founder, Ralph G.. Smedley OF
Santa Ana, Calf, on the occasion
of the Richland Toastmasters
charter night at the recreation
hall in Richland.
Harking back to the beginning
of the organization, which dates
officially from 1922, Smedley said
that the actual inception of Toast
masters International occurred
much earlier, in a little illinois
town in 1905.
eve needed some way to teach
our high school students to speak
in public" Smedley remembered,
"and when we organized a group
someone suggested the name OF
sToastmasters'." !.
Long active in YMCA work,
Smedley moved to Freeport, ~
inois in 1907 or 1908. Bringing the
idea of his high school toastmas-
tiers group to the attention OF the
school authorities for their APP
prevail, he was surprised to dis
cover that the adult leaders OF the
community wanted to undertake
the project for themselves.
In Freeport for the first time,
Smedley was able to gauge the
value Of his idea In developing
the natural but latent abilities OF
men, who had been already e.
tablished in community life.
"That's one Of the finest aspects
of participation in Toastmasters,
Smedley told his audience, I'VE

are able to train men for leader
ship by developing their ability
to think, speak, listen and ana
lyze."
He believes that is one reason
that men seem to master the rudi-
ments of public speaking quickly
in Toastmasters clubs" The Toast
master gets the benefit Of an Inn
mediate and honest reaction to
his speech, as other members point
out his failures and successes"
Smedley said.
The idea of men meeting to-
gether to improve themselves and
each other has been so phenom-
inally accepted that Toastmasters
International has grown into 400
clubs and 10000 members, none
of whom were solicited to join. he
recounted.
William Kirschner, president Of
the Pasco club, introduced the
guests of honor at the Monday
meeting, and Ro1fe Tuve, presid-
ent of the Kennewick club, pre-
sented membership cards to the
newly chartered Richland Toast
masters.
Installed as officers Of the Rich
land club were Max Walton, pres
ident; Clyde Granzel, vice-presid-
ent; J. j. Wilson, secretary-ueas-
urer; Grant Speight, sergeant-at-
arms, and Tom Purton, deputy
governor.
DR.. Clark Durham acted as par
Humanitarian for the evening;
Clyde Granzel was in charge OF
table topics, principal speakers
were William Shanks and J. r.
Jewett, and Jim Leavy Of Kenne-
wick served as general critic.

There's scarcely a veteran or
service man who won't endorse
the belligerant intent Of Irving
Berlin, who during the first world
war sang, s.Oh, how hate to get
up in the morning" And ended
with the threat: "And then I'll
find the dirty pup, the guy who
gets the bugler up"
But there's one reveille that ne
yer fails to get up the most deter
mined late sleeper. That's the cir
Gus coming to town.
About six o'clock o. the morning
of Sunday, Aug. Is, the Cole Bros.
circus train will come to Kenne-
wick, and enough residents Of the
city have declared their inten-
ton to be on hand that restaur-
ant owners Of the town have ar
ranged to stay open and supply
breakfasts for the members of the
"Circus Breakfast Club" Thus
the morning meal will be out of
the way in plenty Of time for the
church services.
There are no club dues or initia-
ton ceremonies. All you have to
do is report to the tracks and
watch the circus unload. Manag-
ers of the big show are delighted
with the idea, and have invited
the public not only to watch the
but to drive on up to
the circus grounds, south Of the
old grade school building between
Washington street and Park View
Homes, and see the big top 60 up.
So, set the alarm for $50, Nav,
the circus is comm to town.

Why the grape?
That question is often heard on
Kennewick streets as Grape Festi-
val time, Oct. 3, 4, and 5, draws
nearer.
The answer is, says Clyde An
derson, president of the Grape
Festival association, that grapes
seemed to most appropriately car
ry the symbolism Of the celebra-
ton and their quality is famed.
But the attention of exhibitors
and visitors will by no means be
given exclusively to one crop.
On the contrary, Anderson ex-
plains, the unique purpose Of the
festival is to display and publicise
the great variety of agricultural
products that contribute to the
prosperity Of this part of Washing
ton.
There is the example of the Ray
Marsh farm, southeast of Kenne-
wick. Here, from the orchards Of
Ray and John Marsh, are flowing
shipments. of tempting transparent
apples to all parts of the United
States and to Canada.
If an industrialist were to visit
the packing shed at the rear of the
Ray Marsh home, he would judge
it to be a small opration. Still, as
he travelled through the miles of
fertile Washington countryside
and its variegated growth of farm
produce, he would begin to grasp
the strength and stability Of an
area that depends, not on a single
product, but on many. Not on sew
eral enormous enterprises, but on
many small ones.
And a trip through the vast
Horse Heaven wheat fields could
not fail to add to his conviction.
Remembering the world wide IA
mine conditions he would look at
the rolling, wheat-heavy hills and
listen to the grumble Of the hum
cry combines that move back and
forth across them.
Further exploration would lead
him to the soft fruit orchards, the
fields Of mint, and asparagus. He

Smoke in the La Sale Hotel

When the most recent large
scale fire took place in our city
at the La Sale Hotel, there was,
as usual, a great TODD about it.
However,, unlike the fire itself,
it was all smoke and no conflag-
ration. That's because the real
cause of the fire is not the de-
fective wiring or the inadequate
fire fighting equipment, but the
disgusting corruption in the city
government.
Everybody knows it but every
body skirts around the question
afraid to touch it. We all
know that in Chicago you can

The white collar workers in
the city of Chicago constitute
part of the great working force
of our city. They made their col-
tribution to the recent war on
the home front in many ways.
They have a great contribution
to make to our city in many
fields cultural, educational, well
fare, etc.
Yet, the role and the economic
position of the white collar work
er is given little attention in the
daily press of Chicago. They re-
ceived no salary increases during
the war until a little before VI
Day. They still remain among
the lowest paid workers in our
city.
