PRECIOUS dictators of feminine IA

a modicum Of cold comfort.
Because, according to Director

the males of the community WI

vote themselves to mustache cul-
ture.
Expertly disclosing a gem OF

pointed out thatshirts may wear
thin, but the under-nose adorn-
ments can only flourish with the
passing of time. CWhat we're try

And, If the miserable males love
company, it can be disclosed that
purple garments, also, will be
added to the worries of fashione-
harried womenfolk. Just another
CLEAN in the galaxy of their
minimum wardrobe requirements.
However, Director Dillon mag
unanimously has decreed that no
Kennewick woman will be re-
quired to grow a beard.
Lest it be too hastily concluded
that the Director instructs,. but
does not do likewise, she has an
nounced that her own contrigbu-

the fall show will be purple hair,
complimented by shimmering
green Grapes.

SideIights...
BY LILLIAN TUVE

Caravans are fun /. =. especially
in Jeep. In our little Jeep we
led the whole caravan-We're not
saying where we led them for we
missed the road a couple of times.
One time we missed the whole
caravan and then we jeep jeep
jeeped all over the road until we
found the mother caravan.
The caravan was the North
west Conservation Leagues idea
to call attention to the route that
Lewis and Clark took over the
mountains. The Rangers explained
Just why Lewis and Clark took
the ridge road instead of going
in the valleys was so that they
could see where they were going.
Personally, didn't care to see
SO much, for there were places
where you could see about 5000
feet down on both sides of the
road.
Ralph Reed explained quite
aptly how the road went by IL
Illustrating the following: "The
Rangers stand back, cover their
eyes, Indian fashion, and sight the
highest peak. Then they set out
straight for that point. It doesn't
matter what is in the way. Then
they simply 60 up and over the
ridge"
Leading the caravan was a
little burly major, Major Evan
Kelley to be exact. His ruddy out
door face was topped with snow
white hair cut in crew style. He
was typically the outdoor type,
but both I and the Major over
heard one of the caravan. women
remark in answer to the state
ment that Major Kelley was
grand, ooh, yes, why ] just think
he is precious!" Major Kelley did
not look like the kind of man
who is used to being called pre-
cious.
It seems that when the Lewis
and Clark group camped at what
is now the Powell Ranger station
they were very low on food and
being unable to kill any game
had killed and eaten a mule. So
the Rangers, wanting to make
things as near like the original
trip as possible, told us we were
to have barbecued mule. 1t must
have been a funny mule-one leg
had white meat and the other
dark, just like a turkey.
That evening, sitting around
the campfire, they told us about
the experiences they have had
with hunters who get lost, have
to be pulled out by mule. Someone
suggested that we should have a

Meeting Attracts

Growers To CITY

An estimated one hundred

Extension Office. $3.50
Grape growers reluctantly
left the discussions, conducted by
DR.. John Snyder, extension
horticultural from Pullman,
when it grew too dark to see,
Harold Shulz, Benton County
horticulturist, reported.
Introductory discussions of the
grape culture were held at the
Burdette-Boise vineyard in the
Kennewick area, Shulz said,
after which the group moved to
the Homer Grove vineyard near
Pasco for actual field studies.
Stressing that a good start is
essential to successful grape
growing, DIR. Snyder demonstrate
ed the importance Of training the
main trunk of the grape vine as
a first requisite in establishing
the plant structure.
He described the Kennewick
locality as one of the largest and
most outstanding grape areas in
thte Northwest, with unlimited
potentialitieS for expansion as
new acres are brought into pro-
duction. 49, te.-.
The sunset meeting is to be
made an annual feature, with
and all-day meeting sometime
during the winter. During the
winter meetings( he continued,
an effort will be made to cover
all the essentials of the grape
growing process.
The Tuesday evening meeting
was attended by farmers from
Kennewick, Benton City, Rich
land, Pasco, Roza, Prosser,
Umatilla, Hermiston and Irrigon.

The repeat order gave sense
and body to the recommendation
of Golden North Anyways presid-
ent Walter Calhoun and Bill Fra
zier. Fairbanks fresh produce
dealer, that KenneWick be de-
veloped as an accumulation point
for produce whence prime fruits
and vegetables could take wing
for the Alaskan territory.
Frazier, speaking to the Ken
newick Chamber of Commerce
last week, told Of his conviction
that fancy foods, a ready market
in Alaskan stores, where quality
is the prime Sales-making factor.
Frazier formerdly lived in Kenne-
wick.
His opinion found a ready back
err in Calhoun, himself former
produce dealer, whose efforts TO
hasten shipments to the terrlory
led him into the anyways business.
"Air transport Of these quality
foods is must" Calhoun en-
phaSiZed to chamber members,
tits the answer to spoilage, the
losses of which must be borne by
the merchant, who orders pro-
duce for his market under a ship
pers' loss clause"
Not only can air freight elm
mate spoilage, he continued, but
food vendors can henceforth carry
smaller inventories of perishable
commodities. Semi perishables
will still reach Alaska by boat.
Frazier spoke again at the con-
clusion of Calhoun's remarks, to
stress the consuming power or
northern markets. Stating that
nine tons of fresh produce are sold
every week through his own
store, he invited his audience TO
imagine the vastly greater sales to
be tapped in the rest of Fairbanks
and in Anchorage.
The trial shipment was signifi-
cant in Fairbanks as il was sig
