regular meeting at the home of
Mrs. Freida Henne on January
%. Miss Media Brown, Whitman
Area Director, and Miss Marily
Buys, field worker for Richland,
Kennewick and Pasco, were spec

Camp Fire Girls are extremely
fortunate in the amount of friend
ly cooperation they receive from

walton of towns in the Whitman
Area, KenneWick is outstanding in
its moral and financial support of
programs for young people, said
Miss Brown.

MENACE
There is also no question that
sthev are a menace. What hap
pens goes something like this: A
car is travelling west on Kenne-
wick avenue, another east. A dog
trots off the curb in the path OF
the west bound vehicle. The driver
swerves to avoid hitting him just
as q pedestrian steps out to chase
the dog off the street. The east
bound car sWerveS to miss the
other car just as third vehicle
swings around the corner. It in
turn cuts short to avoid a crash,
hits a parking meter and broken
piece flies across the walk and
crashes a store window. The pc
destrian after swinging at the dog
jumps back to dodge the car and
falls over the curb. Result: Crump-
led tenders and broken glass on
three automobiles, busted meter
and window, the pedestrian sprains
his ankle and a couple drivers get
minor scratches. Oh, yeah, the dog
safely crosses the street, shifts a
utility pole, rejects it, and nom
chalantly trots back across the
street.

Meanesi Thieves
Steal Dimes From
Crippled Kids

The meanest thieves in the coun-
try broke into the Kennewick Ele-
mentary school Saturday night to
steal $3.50 in, March of Dimes
money from the crippled kids it
might have helped to health. e.
The theft is thought to be the
work of juveniles, Chief of Police
M. II. Kershaw said, disclosing
that finger print tests made by
Officer Lincoln had revealed
traces of candy, which the culprits
We're apparently eating at the time
Of the robbery.
Forcing a window at the west
side of the school, the thieves first
gained entry to a room that did
not give them access to the build
ing. Thereupon they broke
through a second window which
admitted them to the hallway.
The theft was reported Sunday
afternoon by E. S. Black, superin-
tendent of schools. Officer Lin
coin at once started his investi-
cation. ..
Chief Kershaw requested any
undue number of dimes in the pos
session of juveniles be reported
to his Office. Merchants and bust
ness people who might notice
youths with an unwarranted sup
ply of spending money on hand are
requested to be on the alert.
IF we could take these young
offenders to some hospital where
they could see the crippled kids
they robbed, it might shame them
into never repeating such an act"
Chief Kershaw opined.
School desks were also damaged,
he said, and a Parker pen, a dozen
lead pencils, a clock and a watch
were stolen from school rooms.
