Ray.D-Ani Fire
Losses Run rom
$1,000 to $1,000

A fire of undetermined origin
destroyed clothing valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 at the
Ray-D-Ant Cleaners Sunday. AL
though the blaze was confined to
the ceiling and front part Of the
establishment, the intense heat
ruined many garments that were
untouched by flames.
Summoned by a passerby at
6:34 o'clock in the evening, the
KenneWick fire company was
able to limit fire damage to the
ceiling, the floor and office fur
niture.
Vernon Beall, owner and pro-
prietor, announced Immediately
that the losses are covered by
insurance, and that all custom
ers whose garments were damag-
ed will be fully compensated.
He noted, however, that the fam
es had in some cases mutilated
identification marks on the gar
ments, making it necessary for
customers to report their losses.
Loss reports may be made start
ing Monday at the Cascade en-
trance of the cleaning establish
ment.
Ray-D-Ant Cleaners will re-
sumo regular receipt of garments
on Friday. of this week. Repair
of fire damage is going forward
rapidly, and the entire establish
ment will be in use again within
a very short time.

Firemen Introduce Code
System For Fire Calls

The Kennewick fire company
met Wednesday night at the Fire
Station to plan details of new
system of identifying themselves
by code when calling in for the
location of a fire.
According TO Fire Chief Herb
Malchow, the innovation is nee
essary to relieve over-burdened
telephone switchboard when fire
alarms are sounded. In the fut-
ure information about fires will
be given by telephone operators
only in response to requests ac-
companied by an official code
designation. ..e
After the system has been in
effect for a short time, il is ex-
pected to considerably expedite
the handling of fire alarms, Chef
Malchow said.

Day Nursery 10
Run On New Plan
After June 3ofh

Funds have been allotted to
continue the Kennewick Day
Nursery through the present fis-
cal year, ending June 80, on the
same financial structure, and
after that time on a revised state
support basis, Mrs. NJ. A. Neller-
moe, nursery supervisor, revealed
today.
/. E. S. Black, superintendent of
the Kennewick Public Schools,
noted that information reaching
him through the office of the
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Olympia, indicates
that the present state contribu-
ton of 75c per day for each child
will probably be reduced to Soc
per day after June 80.
IF state support of the nur-
sery is reduced by this amount"
Black commented, "the only way
we will be able to operate the
school through the next fiscal
year will be by raising the fees
paid by parents. This will pro-
badly mean an addition of Csc
a day to the present fee"
The nursery charge has been
SIS week for the care of child
rem aged 2 to S., The declining
state support is expected to raise
the fee to $6.25 a week.
No change in staff will be
made, said Mrs. Nellermoe. Miss
Ruth Peterson and Mrs. George
Boyer will continue to act as
teachers, and Mrs. Gus johnson
will continue as cook.

Wear A Poppy
Is Plea OF
Legion Head

An appeal to all veterans OF
both World Wars to honor their
fallen comrades by wearing a
poppy on Poppy Day May "a, was
issued by Duane Campbell, Com
of Robert w. Ely post OF
the American Legion.
Commander Campbell also
asked that generous contributions
be made for the welfare of dis
abled veterans, their families and
the dependents of deceased vet
Grams on Poppy Day. In his ap-
peal he said:
Let us all show by wearing q
poppy that we have not forgotten
those comrades of ours whom we
left behind on the battle fields
in so many parts of the world,
We can never forget them, OF
course, but others who were not
so close to them may forget how
they gave their lives in the ma
TONS service. We should set a
glowing example Of remembrance
by putting on poppy the first
thing on Poppy Day.
I'VE should remember, too,
those other comrades who did not
die but are still fighting q grim
battle against wounds and i'll
ness in the veterans hospitals.
They made the peoples. The COM
tributions we make Tor the me
flowers are for them, their
families and the families OF the
dead. Many of us do not have
to give, yet l am sure that
veterans will set an example OF
generosity for all other citizens"
Memorial peoples, made by dis
abled veterans at Walla Walla
will be distributed throughout the
city on Saturday May oath by
workers from the Rob-
ert w. Ely unit of the American
Legion Auxiliary.
