An Appreciation

In the calm of early morning
Sunday, July Is, 1948, the sweet
spirit of Will Hoover went home
to his Father. Surely it was for
him the beginning of perfect day,
an eternal day of light and joy for
Gods child who had served glad
ly, given generously. loved devoted
ly and lived abundantly.
Will Hoover was richly endowed
with the characteristics that make
friends and cement friendship. He
was gentle, lovable, modest, unaf-
fected and sincere, never failing in
the little courtesies, the unobstru-
sive acts of kindness that give life
deep and radiant glow. Truly he
found time for the real values of
lifetime for being sweet and kind
time to share smiles and goodness
time for helpfulness, time for
friendship. But there was never a
time for unkindness in his life.
In an age of unrest and discord,
he was keenly interested in world
affairs, in all that affected the well
fare of his fellow men and yet he
managed to live in a world apart,
a world of peace, serenety, quiet
Joy and childlike trust.
Outstanding citizen, successful
business man, loyal church member,
he was perhaps at his best in the
home where he and his loved COM
panion who survives him, lived in
perfect unity of spirit and in beau

tiful harmony of word and deed
through all life's varied ways.
Will Hoover loved people in
generous measure their love came
back to him. His great heart was
full of love for little children and
his pockets held a never failing
supply of chewing gum and candy
for all of them. A picture of love
and beauty for the years will be
that of VIII Hoover standing in
front of the Methodist church after
Church School every Sunday morn
ing passing gum to the children,
his face all radiant and smiling.
1t seems uncomfortable that
his sunny comradely spirit and
warm handclasp have vanished from
earth. 1t is so easy to believe that
there is an eternal home, where
all is good and beautiful. prepared
for the Homecoming of such a dear
child of God.

Stepping on shore and finding it

OF taking hold of a hand and find

OF breathing new air and finding

We're For Dogs
And People Both!

Like most home-loving com
munities, our town 10 mighty
fond of dogs. So when Bob
Parker's dog happened to bite

debate.
Some folks suggested that
'1there ought to be q law" re-
Quiring dogs to wear . muSxle.
But cooler heads figured that .
whole townful of well-behaved
dogs shouldn't be penalixed for
the fault OF one. So now Bob's
dog sports the only nose piece.
From where l sit, there's q
parallel in the places selling
beer. Most folks in our town
like a moderate glass of beer
from time to time and want
to enjoy 1t in q clean and law
abiding place. That's why they
are all behind the Brewers Pro-
gram of self Regulation"
Under "Self Regulation" the
brewers keep q careful check on
outlets, see that they live up
to the letter of the law, and
recommend action against any
retailer that gets out OF line. It
works. too, in the counties
where the sale of beer Is legal.
The Brewers "Self Regulation"
program doesn't operate where
the legal sale Of beer has been
voted out.

Churches TO Hold
Joint Services

Announcement was made this
week, by the two pastors involy-
ed, that, while the First Christian
church OF Kennewick is in its
church construction program
during the fall and winter, it
will join the Methodist church
in promoting its Sunday evening
services in the latter chulHh
building.
They will begin on Sunday
evening, October Bird and will be
held in the church parlor. Both
pastors win participate and plan
to carry out an informal type
service.
The board of the Christian
church he'd accepted the invita-
ton Of the Methodist board made
some months ago, that the faciB-
ties Of the Methodist building
would be open 10 them for either
joint or separate use during their
construction period. II was de
cided that the two Sunday
schools could not be sccommo-
dated at the same time, and
plans were, therefore. made by
the Christian church board TO Sc
cure the Roxy theatre for its
Sunday morning program.

good, and he doesn't need finan-

disposal plant. :..L
Rates have been upped,
the discussion around the
council table disclosed,
but not beyond the point
that would have been
reached If sewers were
not now being provided
for the area recently
annexed to the city. ..
State Sanitation authorities
have ruled that the building od
sewerage disposal plant is man.
datoory in the interest Of stopping
the heavy pollution of the Col
umbia river.
Faced with the choice Of sad
ding the entire burden on The
comparatively small number q
users Of the old sewer systenR.
and spreading the cost over tn
much larger population resulting
from annexation, the council
chose the latter alternative.
They stressed that the new ar
cas- Of the city, soon to be heavily
populated, were only brought into
the city with promise that sew
erage service could be provided
for them.
Provision has been made foS
the issuance of $380,000 in sewer
revenue bonds. The new sewer
construction is expected to take
5000, 900 of the total leaving the
remainder available for invest
ment In the disposal system.
Fifty cents Of each individual
Tee win be set aside in a special
fund toward thescost OF construct.

fs6id.
In addition TO the fixed rate
and charges, the city shall charge
the actual cost of all labor and
materials, plus IS percent fo1
inspection, engineering and adj
ministrative expenses, for all new
connections, the enabling ordin-
ance provides.
The entire ordinance and tho
schedule for worrying types of
service is published elsewhere In
