For the. first time since the end
of the war, the compulsory state
auto test is again being instituted
with state inspectors opening a
ssafety lane" in Kennewick on
Tuesday, August H..
Vehicles will receive an all-ln-
elusive inspection in the safety
lane process. Cars will be driven
and braked. Lights and horns
will be tested. The condition OF
window glass will be noted. An
inspection of steering mechanism
and front wheel alignment Will be
part of the vehicle exam, as well
as a check on tire conditions.
The purpose of the inspection Is
of course, to make Washington
streets and highways safer,
through careful inspection OF the
cars and trucks which drive them.
Vehicles with mechanical defects
will not pass, corrections Will be
ordered by state officials conouct-
ing the safety lane. =
although the examination Is
compulsory, officials have not set
a definite time limit on the test

Growth Of City
Must Be Planned
Frank Challenges

"Kennewick cannot avoid grow
ing, but we must be sure tnat itS
growth is orderly and intelligent.
That conclusion was voiced TO-
day by Ross Frank, manager-sec-
rotary of the Kennewick Chamber
of Commerce as he reviewed his
experience at the 1947 session OF
the Western Institute for Com
mercial Trade Association Execu-
tives meeting last week in Reno.
Frank continued: "Kennewick
has charted the right course, but
we have long way to 60 before
we will equal the accomplish
ments of other areas with siml-
lar potentialities."
For example, he said, one pro-
gressive city in California appro-
PIRATES $4,000 annually for pub
licity alone. "This is a type of
competition we are facing" Frank
said.
Of great interest to Frank was
the discovery that all eyes are
focused on Kennewick, with its
high agricultural returns, its
transportation facilities, and its
industrial possibilities"
He called for the support of the
entire community in developing
modern and adequate shopping
facilities, services and educational
and recreational programs.
"Our entire community" Frank
concluded "must be educated to
the need for carefully planned
progress in commercial, industrial
and civic spheres.

Melon Stealing
Brings Buckshoi

Melon raisers of the Kennewick
area have declared war on van
dals who enter their fields at
night, steal melons and DANCE
crops, Deputy Sheriff Ted Wag-
ner said today.
Finding two youths in his ield
on the night Of July 81, a Kenne-
wick farmer ordered them to stop,
and fired on them when they re-
fused. to obey his order, Wagner
said. s .-s-
One of them, Bob Hunsaker,
was peppered with buck shot, and
taken to Our Lady of Lourdes
hospital for treatment. His COM
panion, Francis Reiker, was held
in custody, according to Wagner,
until the farmer had received pay
ment for DANCE done to his grow.
ing crop, estimated at 500.
The youths were accompanied
by two girls, who stayed. in the
car to act as look-outs, Wagner
explained.
Urging all boys and girls Of the
area to refrain from melon steal
ing, Wagner cautioned that peace
officers can do nothing to help
them, when they are detected.
He noted also that no blame
should be attached to growers,
take measures to protect their
livelihods. E -
Wagner believes that parents
should discuss the matter with
