Sometimes events seem to con-
spire to increase the difficulty of
a difficult task. And that thought
must have occurred to Lillian Dart
Higley, wife of Donald Higley of
Kennewick, since she left her Eng
lish home to join her husband.
She was one of many English
girls who married American boys
stationed in England during the
war. When her husband was re-
turned to the United States for
discharge, she stayed on in Barn.
staple, England, waiting for the
day when she could follow him.
That day came not long ago. She
sailed from port with John How
ard, her ten months old son, in her
arms. The Red Cross workers who
arrange such matters wired ahead
to her husband that she would
land in San Francisco. Higley at
once telegraphed funds to her
there so that she would be sure
to have money enough on hand to
meet any travel expenses that
might arise.
But something slipped in the in

Renewing her courage, she and
the baby took train for KenneWick.
But by the time she reached Chi

'Sprise
Anderson Amazed

Clyde Anderson is a theatre
manager who always thinks Of
those mice" little things to do.
Thus it was, when the Benton
Theatre attained the age Of two,
that he arranged a week-long
birthday party for it. And then it
was that printers in the composing
room of the Kennewick Courier
Reporter discovered that he had
neglected the element Of surprise.
Now this element is important to
generals, to social dowagers, and
should be to Anderson. The print
ers mixed up the pictures in the
theatre advertising Inadvertently,
we confess) so that it created puZ-
element at to what show showed
when and where. Or even why.
Was Anderson surprised! Anyhow,
it gives us another chance, Clyde,
to say Happy Birthday" to you
and the Benton.

Ny Son John?
One Shoe OF :

Kennewick's Assistant Postmas-
ter, Walter Woehler, insists that
his carriers are as cooperative as
any you'd fine in the course of q
days travel, but some items get
into mail boxes that battle them.
Their intentions, nonetheless,
are of the best.
Even the best of intentions, tho,
did not dispel the bafflement Gre
ated this week when some citizens
mailed his shoe in the box at
Fruitland and Kennewick.
The trouble was, and is, that it's
just plain shoe. No more, no less,
no wrapping, no address-as the
Teller says: no nuthin'.
Maybe the citizen figured that
postmen need shoes. They do walk
a lot. Unfortunately for this par
ticular deal, however, there are no
one-legged postmen on duty at the
Kennewick post office.
It's black leather mocasin that
would fit a good-sized man or boy,
and it's on display with many 9TH
er orphaned and unusual articles
at the Courier-Reporter.
Them as wants it kin have it.

PSha4u!
No Double RIM

A lot of people have been mis-
led recently by a movie title that
proclaims ssThe Postmas Always
Rings Twice" They're beginning
to listen for that double ring, Walt
Woehler, assistant postmaster,
says.
Postmen are pre-eminently pc
destrians. They walk.
They walk so much that they
have to devise Step-Saving systems
of mail delivery, else they'd never
finish a route at all.
Thus the spot office department
trains city carriers to tack back
and forth across a city street, like
a boat sailing into the wind.
The results in gigs and Gags that
are varied daily so that house
holders will be neither gigs nor
Gags all the time.
Tempers rise, Woehler woefully
admits, when q Zig housewife has
letters waiting in her mail box
for pickup on Tag day, or wise
versa.
The post office phone shrills and
irate voices demand to know why
The Man didn't get the mail.
Since it's impossible to keep up
with the zigging and tagging, the
only safe way to get letters mailed
is to watch for the postman and
hand them to him. Or put them
in a letter pickup box, or take
them to the post office.
That's what Walter Woeh1er
says.

Lions Win One:
Lose 10 Richland
BY George Mitchell


Tuesday the Lions lost their
second encounter with the Rich
land Bombers 41-55.
This game, very important in
determining the final standing of
the Lions and a possible chance
for play-off to enable them to
60 to the Yakima Valley tourna-
ment, proved to be disappoint-
ment to the crowd as well as the
team.
The Lions after holding the
Bombers to % points in the first
half, fought vainly to overtake
their opponents, but the substi-
tuition of three players by Coach
Bennett proved to be disastrous to
the Lions and the Bombers netted
six points in the last minute.
Bud Roe, Bomber star, was fore
ed to take the back seat to the
Bomber center, g. 8" Gene Conley,
who played magnificent ball and
dropped in II points. Harold Per-
kins drew a close second with IL.
The Lions "B" came through
and led by interruptions by Ledger
Bryan and Milo Bauder and team
work by Brant Elliott, Chuck
Poole and Lynn Wilder under the
baskets ended the game 8 points
ahead of the Richland "B', 1898.
This game marks the last play on
the home floor and Friday the
Lions will end their conference
play against GrandvieW.

Since their first encounter three
weeks ago in which the Grizzlies
handled the Lions with ease, the
Lions have improved greatly and
after losing closely to Pasco on
Tuesday, felt like their chances
for the tournament were coming
back and took the speedy squad
in stride.
After some very spectacular
shooting Bernie" Donahue led
the victors with 81 points and as
the fan would say, he was really
"hot."
The Lions "B" was back in
stride after their defeat Tuesday
night and fine ball handling and
accurate shooting and showed
they had the stuff and cleaned the

An expert with color camera,
Herbert Lanlks, who will appear
here on Feb. 81 at the Kennewick
high school auditorium in the
fourth number of the Pasco-Ken-
newick lecture program, has
achieved the enviable record Of
being the first photographer and
lecturer to travel by motor We
hicle over the entire length of
North and South America.
Recognized as an authority on
auto travel in the Western Hemis-
phere, he has made a series Of
trail-blazing expeditions that have
taken him from the Arctic to the
Horn and has returned each time
with pictorial record that is
authentic, complete and informa-
tive.
One of Lank's most recent trips
was made during the war in a jeep
over the entire length of the new
Alaska Highway from the United
States thru Canada to the region
Of the Arctic Circle in Alaska and
back again to America. It was
only as war correspondent that
Lanks was gwen permission by
the government to travel over this
far-reaching highway into the in
creasingly important territories
of the Canadian Northwest and
Alaska.
For fifteen years since its open
ing, Lanks has made an annual
motor trip over the Pan-American
Highway, filming the countryside
of Mexico, Central America and
South America down to the Straits
of Magellan. During the summer
of 1916 he motored over all the
islands of the Caribbean to COM
plete his Photographic library of
the entire Western Hemisphere.

books of the field of travel-The
