TO U PEOPLE OF.
THE cHR1sT1ANsTED COUNTRY DISTRICT
Dear Friends:


THERE ARE many ways for Improvement for us in our
countryside. living that will make us happy, make US a bit
more comfortable. Better wages, better opportunities, better
roads, better water supply for crop improvement; electrifica-
ton of public highways; the establishment of local emergency
medical substations on certain estates within reach of our
people in case of accident without loss of time; provision
for immediate transportation; installation of telephone con-
nections for public use which will surely be the means of
saving the lives of our useful citizens residing in the rural
districts; and facilities for adults and childrens' recreation.
BELIEVE that these observations are essential require
ments of a people who lack the proper representation. After
constant study of the problems for five years, l feel that I
am now capable of doing the job. | believe that St. Croix is
pre-dominantly an agricultural community, and must exist
as such; | believe that every effort should be made to help
the farmer and the worker if we are to regain our former
standard of prosperity; / believe that the farmer is the back
bone and boodstreanS of every nation. Without the farmers
we have no government.
1 BELIEVE in the progressive adoption of an improved
method of agriculture for the Island, which will bring about
a better rehabilitation of the land; / believe in the general
improvement of soil fertility, or the restoration of the old
time local manuring system; / believe in the provision for
equipment, preparation of the land for their crops at the
proper time, and competent technical advice and supervision,
free Of charge.
WITHOUT legislative presentation and endorsement to
these declarations, the social economic and political affairs
of the Island remain unsolved and unbalanced. 1t is our
duty to solve them, it is our duty to balance them.
UPON THESE declarations, I submit myself to YOU as
a candidate in the local election, coming from the Christian
sted Country District. During the coming political campaign
l will appear before you from time to time, and therefore,
ask for your kind support and general cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
WILFRED BENJAMIN

Three Hurt In
Auto Crashes

Two accidents on Ientn StreeI
Sunday, within period of three
hours, sent three patients to Our
Lady of Iourdes hospital.
Lorena Roberts, wife of Cordy
Roberts of Route l, was most
seriously injured, mourning a ba-
sal fracture of the skull, when
she was thrown from the car by
the force of impact. Her six
months old son, Aaron Ben, was
also thrown from the car, but
escaped with minor cuts and
bruises.
The Roberts car, travelling
north on Gum street, collided
with a car moving west on Tenth
street, driven by Wallace A.
Remington. of $40 Hawthorne.
Owner of the Remington car is
Howard o. Able of the same
address.
Police said that Howard will
be cited for failure to yield the
right of way.
Mrs. Roberts condition was re-
ported to be serious by her at
tending physician, who said, how
ever, that her condition is con-
sidered satisfactory in view OF
the type of injury she suffered.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. McKelvie of Kenne-
wick.
Earlier in the day cars driven
by Raymond Hack of 422 Fir St.,
and Roy E. Belling of North
Richland collided at the corner
of Tenth street and Garfield.
Beulah Foster Of 1915 Kenne-
wick Avenue. a passenger in the
Hack car, suffered cuts about the
head necessitating several stitch
es. Her two year old son, Eddie,
received a cut on the nose that
ais orequired stitches.
Belling and his unidentified
passenger were not injured.
State Patrolman Duane Smith,
who investigated the accident,
cited Hack for failure to yield
the right of way and Belling for
inattention to traffic signs.

Initiatives for
Liquor Sale Vary
On Major Points

The second Initiative measure
to seek a place on the ballot this
year is, like the first one, con-
cerned with the sale of liquor in
the State of Washington, Secre-
tary of State Earl Coe comment
ed this week. There are, how
ever, several major differences in
the two measures, he pointed out.
The first measure, Initiative No.
1877, is being sponsored by the LII
quor Reform Committee, Inc,
while the second, Initiative No.
1853, is sponsored by F. e. Parks,
of Seattle, with signature petitions
being distributed by the North
west Tavern Association. 'z-
In common with Initiative No.
1877, the second measure provides
that spurious liquor may be sold
by the drink at taverns, restau-
rants, hotels, cabarets, club cars
and steamers. "<
Initiative 1853 is simply a draft
ed measure which merely amends
the Washington State Liquor Act
by adding six new sections. "A
new liquor license, to be known
as Glass H license, is created and
a set annual license fee of $500 is
charged with no distinction being
made as to seasonal permits.
al BY comparison, Initiative Meas
ure 167 provides for $500 annual
license fee with a $3.50 seasonal
permit not to exceed six months.
Initiative 1853 also provides that
Glass H license holders must OBJ
tain all spurious liquors at State
Liquor stores, but it provides in
addition that such license holders
are to receive 20 per cent dis
count below the current retail
price.

Any individuals wishing to con-
tribute to the fund may do so by
calling at the Red Cross Office on
the second floor of the j. c. Pen
ney building, or by mailing the
contribution to the Kennewick
Red Cross branch.
Commenting on the March-long
fund raising campaign, BAIL said
today: # $3.50 E->.
"Our period of rapid growth in
the Kennewick area, which Is still
continuing, has made this diff
fcult year to conduct Red Cross
fund raising campaign. We have
many new families in our COM
munities, and numerous instances
in which both man and wife are
employed and difficult to contact
during regular hours. Despite
these circumstances, the Red Cross
appeal has been oustandingly sue
cessful."
He continued: 81 feel that the
people who have made the
achievement possible are the gen.
efous residents Of our community
anu new alike-and the cap
tains and volunteer workers who
gave of their time without stint to |
reach and exceed our assigned
quota. To every contributor ana
to every worker, I extend my con-
gratulations for a job well done,
and my deepest appreciation for
their support"
BAIL also had a nice word for |
the press: Another factor in the
success of our program" he said,

co-chairmen Jim Gabriel and
George Brown explained. "Those
who make contributions in re-

will be given American Cancer
Society receipts and label identi-
fication pins" it was stated.
Posters, newspaper and radio

terrible facts will want to give
generously to stop this disease.
Topping last years quota by
over 400 per cent, the 1913 quota
is goal that can be reached only
if residents of Benton county re-
alize that the number Of cancers
victims has been increasing in this
county and across the nation for

gram of education, service, and re-

convalescent home. The teacher
LaVerne said, would bring his
books to him about once week
and the lady who ran the conval-
escent home would help him with
his lessons. There were never
more than four boys at a time in
the home. That left time for per-
sonal attention to individual prob
lens. He returned to ,Overton for
a time. where he lived with his
uncle and again completed year
of country school. He was ten
years old then. II
In 1913, he attended school for
five months at the Washington
Budlong School for Afflicted
Children in Los Angeles.
He began to sell the Los An
geles Daily News. For a while,
he also sold magazines. But mag
azines are heavy and the profit in
them isn't so good.
LaVerne was II years old when
the Los Angeles Elks became in
terested in his condition and
bought him his first three-wheel-
ed bike. Before this, he had been
able to move around with the aid
of an exercise continuance. He
could even leave the home and
travel to the bus line alone.
At home, he had wheel chair,
but members of the family had to
help him get from place to place
in it.
With the gift of the three wheel
bike, LaVerne began to learn to
walk. The trouble is, the parts
wore out and there was no way to
replace them. That was no fault
Of the Elks, he says, quickly. La
verne has special reason for see
ing that the Elks receive no criti-
cal comment. Because, when he's
81, he becomes a life member of
he Los Angeles Elks. Already
ae's loyal one.
OF course it was no fault of his
oenefactors that the machine grew
I'D and "haywire."
LaVerne's parents moved back
10 Nebraska for several years,
where his father ran garage.
They came to Kennewick in jan
nary, choosing it on the advice OF
