Ends Good Year

With the coming school year
Bethlehem Lutheran school will
offer full elementary and junior
high school courses. The school
year just past ended officially on
May %, with a picnic for all the
grades at City park sponsored by
the Society for Christian Educa-
ton. Suffice it to say a good time
was had by all. The faculty sack
race was w.,n by M. S. Pohl.
The pupils of Mr.. Lohrman's
room with the assistance OF the
local Walther League and friends
Of the school sent over 80 food
boxes to Europe and well over a
hundred pounds of used clothing.
About so letters of appreciation
have been received from many
cities in Germany.
On June / H. c. Lohrman, prin-
cipal, will motor to Michigan with
his family. After a short rest and
fishing trip or two he will pro-
coed to River Forest, H., to con-
tinue his studies at Concordia
Teachers College, his Alma Ma
ter. Mr.. and Mrs. Lohrman and
family expect to be back about
August 8.
In Michigan they will visit par
ents, brothers and sisters at Bay
City, Saginaw, Flint, Detroit, Port
Hope and Port Huron.

Dates

Since the Courier Reporter
moved its printing time up from
Thursday to Wednesday,, consid-
cradle confusion has arisen be-
cause the date line remains as
Thursday. When a story reports
that something will happen to-
night, that still means Thursday
night.
There is nothing unusual about
this. In fact it seems more logi-
cal to deliver a paper on Thurs
day with a Thursday date line
than otherwise.
National magazines 60 to such
extremes delivering publications
ahead of time that it sometimes
becomes ridiculous. For instance
the u. S. mails dutifully deliver
ed to us on May 20 our current
copy of a popular mems mag
azine. The top of the cover page
carried the enigmatic line: Faith
er's Day Issue, July 1947.
President Roosevelt didn't get
far in changing the date of
Thanksgiving and we are Of the
opinion that Fathers Day will
still be observed on June Is.

any political considerations, nor
as the result of pressures exerted
upon the House committee and
the Congress by private power
interests. I sincerely hope this is
true because considered on the
merits alone, considered on a
purely social and economic bas-
is, am convinced this commit
tee will reach a conclusion salts
factory to the nation as a whole
and that your conclusions will be
restoration of most of the funds
cut by the House, particularly in
the Bureau Of Reclamation"
The Senator then followed this
statement with clear and con-
else proof that expenditures for
reclamation is vital to the ma
ton, that it is an investment and
not a spending" program.
With such forceful action on
the part of western representa-
tives in both houses and in both
parties it is probable that the APP
proach to reclamation will under
go a sharp change.

Irrigation

Commenting on the cause and
results of House appropriations
for reclamation has become one
of the pet pastimes Of editorial
writers, radio commentators and
columnists in all parts of the
country. T.
There is as wide a divergence
of opinion as there are writers and
commentators. Here in Kenne-
wick many boosters for our own
project feel the situation is hope
less for any action in the present
Congress favorable to the High
lands project. .,.3,
Such is not the case. While
the enonomy may well stifle ac-
ton there is no good reason for
giving up. Chances are good that
the Senate will restore a large
amount to the budget and may
feel favorable to a project such
as ours that is must in. the
book of the Reclamation Bureau.
Cong. Hal Holmes is. working
diligently toward that end. In
addition on the Senate side comes
a report of a statement made be-
fore the Senate subcommittee on
Interior appropriations made by
Senator Warren Magnuson.
In opening his statement the
senator said:

witnesses appearing before your

4O% Of Britons PoIIed Oppose
Princess Marriage to Philip

by the tabloid Sunday Pictorial was
in sharp contrast to the hush hush
treatment given by the British press
to the events leading up to the
marriage of former King Edward
and his American wife, Wallis War
field Simpson.
Buckingham Palace, which frowns
on public speculation about the
Princess choice of husband, and
the Prime Ministers Office, which
says 1t knows nothing about the
widely rumored royal romance, "
refused comment. But reliable In
formants said they were thought
fully studying the polls results.
These informants added that the
possibility at least existed that re-
gardless of the couples own feel
ings. no marriage would be arranged
if it appeared contrary to the wishes
of so large section Of the people.
It was conceivable, then, that Prin-
cess Elizabeth and Prince Philip
also were interested In the poll.
The Picturial, which has circu-
lation of more than 5000, 600.
Defended its action in conducting
the poll with the statement that
prominent among the functions
of newspaper In an ordered
democracy is the true DETECTION Of
public opinion on the controversies
of the day" It said letters would
