Young Bandits
Face l4 Counts
For Burglal.ies

Two youthful burglars, aged IL
and 20, are in the custody of Ken
newick and Walla Walla police to-
day, charged with fourteen illegal
entries and burglaries here, in
Pasco, Richland, Walla Walla and
Pendleton.
Officers in Walla Walla last week
apprehended the 17-year-old Of
fender, when paSser-by observ-
ed him entering Safeway store.
His arrest drew the attention of
Kennewick Police Chief M. II.
Kershaw, who Tuesday secured
his full confession.
In addition to duplicating his
20-year-old Kennewick accomplice
now held in the city Jail, the youth
also cleared up five burglaries in
the city, occurring from late De-
cember to February 9, Chief Ker-
shaw said.
He names himself as one of the
two "meanest thieves" who pill
fered a March of Dimes collection
can from the Columbia Market,
netting them $4.10 apiece. Scorn-
ing the pennies, the two disposed
of them in water closet, where
they were later recovered, .Ker.
shaw said.
His accomplice denies engaging
in any of the acts, Kershaw said,
although the confession gives the
dates, places and names of actual
witnesses. An investigation of his
recent activities is continuing.

Among the myriad purposes
for which the contributions of
individuals are used in the COM

activity that saved three lives in

The blood of volunteer donors
is given free to the patient, BAIL
noted. The only charge made is
for the actual services performed

Street Wideninq
Gets Under Way

The city council has approved
a street widening program for
Kennewick avenue anG North
DAYTON street, and this week big
trees along the south side OF
kennewick avenue were being
taken down.
First trees to come down were
along the south side of the ave-
nue. lining the Methodist church
property.
Councilmen agreed to widen
only the south side of the avenue,
taking the block starting at Day.
ton and working west.
Dayton street will be widened
from Kennewick avenue to Ave-
nue. A. Trees along the north
side of Kennewick avenue will
be left.
Only person appearing at the
hearing last Friday was E. j.
Brand who said he did not like
the idea of the trees being re-
moved but would not oppose the
removal if it was deemed neces-
sary.
Decision Of the council to re-
move the trees along only the
south side Of Kennewick avenue
was a sort of compromise as 1t
had been suggested in council
meetings that trees along both
sides would have to come down.
Councilmen, however, held up
their decision until sentiment of
the residents along the avenue
and people Of the city in general
was known.

"a report on health con-
ditions by a group from
Island View community
which is a short distance
east of the RichIand "Y". An
nexation was his answer to q
question by the Island View
groups spokesman, e. A. Ny
borg, about what to do about
sanitation and hearth conditions
in that area.
MIR. Vogel told the group that
to connect up with city sewers
and water systems would in the
long run be much cheaper and
better than TO put in septic
tanks, dry wells and other re-
ceptacles for sewage. He warned
that septic tanks could become
so numerous that the domestic
water supply i'm that area would
become contaminated.
IF you are planning only for
a five-Year period. then you
can get along with septic tanks
and an Independent water sup
ply" said Mr.. vogel. But Il
You are planning on a permR-
nenf basis. Il will b cheaper
and better the other way
Mr.. Nyborg told the council
that some progress had been
made on bringing conditions IN
his area up to health standards;
that George Garst, who founded
the community, was putting
down another well for the COM

Amusement Park
To Be Opened

City council tuesday night APP
proved request by j. D.
Schmidt OF Portland to open IN
amusement park off Avenue c
near the Kennewick-Pasco
bridge.
Mr.. Schmitt said he planned
to operate various concessions
and rides and possibly skating
rink. The rides will include mer-
ry-go-round, ferris wheel, glider,
and baby auto courses. Such con-
cessions as popcorn machines,
dart games, and a penny arcade
will be included, Mr.. Schmitt
told the council.
The park will be opened about
May 1, said Mr.. Schmitt. There
will be music for the merry-go-
round but the loud speaker will
be tuned down so it will not dis
turb sleepers at, night. Council
man Arthur w. Campbell said he
felt the park should be closed at
10 o'clock each night and added
that unless the noise would not
be disturbing to people in his
camp, he would have no objec-
tons to an amusement park.
City councilmen said the city
probably would charge tax on
sales. Admission to the midway
will be free, said Mr.. Schmitt.
The park will be located across
the street east of the Curve Mar
ket and the entrance is to be
from Avenue B.

trailer camp owners would be
prosecuted for not complying with

what I found on a survey OF
the camps made me very unhap-
py," said DR.. Tudor. "Some camp
owners should never attempt to
operate trailer camps. 1t takes a
great deal of know-how which
some people do not have. Our
full intentions are to enforce the
provisions Of the ordinances"
DIR. Tudor said he knew of al
least two camps which do NOT
come up to the provisions. 81

scouting attorney. We have been
very, patient with these" he said
They have fai.ed and refused tc
comply with The provisions o1
the ordinance. As health officer,

uation as il is and we shall take
steps. ] have recommended that
the area along the River road be

important"
Lou Keene, county district road
supervisor, said the county had
established a garbage dump west

mended to the county commits

"The Rockwell bill was origin
ally designed to make feasible
certani projects with a high cost
of construction" he explained.
However, it was amended a to-
tai Of IL times until its original
purpose was defeated and the
result now is nothing more than
than an increase in power rates"
He paid tribute to the develop
ment of the Columbia river as
a valuable asset to the war ef-
fort. "There are a dozen bills
now in Congress that would
wreck the power program" he
said.
"a leadership Of understanding
in both parties is needed to avert
wars" he said.

Creator Generous. Says Garien In
Urging Speeding State Development

Urging the election of people
who will fight for the program
of western development and the
organization of congress on a
policy of support for such a pro-
gram" Art Garten sounded the
keynote of the Democratic party
for the coming fall elections in
Jefferson-Jackson day address
at Richland Tuesday night.
''The Creator was especially
generous in our state" Garten
commented, describing the vast
amount. of natural resources yet
to be developed. "The greatest
waste of our natural resources
is in slowing the development of
the Columbia river" he said, and
pointed to the vast potentialities
of the river for power and irri-
cation.
Lashing at the critics of the
expenditures on Columbia de-
velopment he said that the gov.
eminent spends as much on flood
control in the Mississippi valley
in one year as has been spent
altogether on the Basin program.
He quoted figures that showed
that even if all available land
in the state is irrigated, we will
still only have one-sixth as much
land in production as that Of
Iowa.
He urged the continuation of the
policy on power sales benefit
all" in helping to pay for the
costs Of irrigation.
Commenting on the dangers of
the Rockwell bill to the reclama-
ton program, he stated that pass
age of the bill would double the
cost of power in the northwest

where they can meet other peo-
pie and form the friendships that
are a normal part of any individ-
ual's existance. A well-managed
cabaret, providing music and soft
lights, seemed to be the most pop
ular demand. They did not seem
to particularly desire to join a
