Pest Office Needs
Christmas Space

The Kennewick city council
heard an appeal Tuesday night
from Postmaster Walter Woehler
for assistance in locating space
for a Christmas mailing sub-sta-
ton.
Unless quarters can be secured.
Woehler said, the post office win
be compelled to refuse Christ

adequate to care for more than
the routine run of business. The
sub-station, he added, should be
opened not later than December i
"A cursory canvass of possible
locations failed to locate a defin-
lite site. However, councilmen
assured Woehler that they would
help him find space.

D. I. Mitchell
Wiihdraws from
Councilman Race

D. L. Mitchell, Kennewick real
estate man, has stepped out OF
the race for councilman of the
second ward.
Mitchell gave as his reason for
withdrawing from the race, his
conviction that there are other
candidates from among whom a
suitable councilman could be
elected.
Other candidates in that ward
are Robert Jones, connected with
Church Grape Juice company;
John Vibber, local druggist; ant
Herb Owens, co-owner of tn.
Pioneer Iron Works.
Mitchell, who was the first to
file for that office, told the Cour-
ier-Reporter last night that when
he filed, said he did so because
it appeared that there might not
be a filing in the ward.
"All was interested in was
that some progressive and able
man file for the office" he said.
81 might add that I think we
need some new blood on the
council"

Only Chinese People Can Save China
Sneaker Tells Kennewick Kiwanians

years something has happened.
Today the pot is boiling over.
Peasants are finding consciences
and beginning to yearn for basic
liberties that have long been en-
joyed by more progressive peoples.
They are willing to work and
fight for betterment of the in
tolerable conditions they have
been born into.
Thus the peasant does not ask
whether the government that
seeks to help him is communist
or nationalist; he doesn't know
the name of Stain, the president
of the United Staes or even the
president of China. Ideologies do
not interest him, he simply turns
to the philosophy Of government
that promises relief Of his harsh
and cruel existence.
Education of the people will
take many years, but it Is the
only hope Of the Chinese, saia
Fei. They must understand 9th.

peoples must understand them bet

Asked why Anti-American de-

from China, Fei pointed to the

Although understanding can dc
more to aid Chinese-American re-
lations than any other factor.
Americans can't save China -
nobody can save China but the
Chinese people themselves, Ed
ward Ching-T'ien Fei, University
of Washington forum speaker,
told Kennewick Kiwanians Tues
day.
Three quarters of the Chinese
people are farmers, he said. Not
farmers in the sense that Ameri-
cans would understand, but fami-
lies living on little plots Of land,
averaging two and half acres
each, and farmed with the most
primitive equipment and methods.
Many of these people living in
remote villages Of 100 or 200
people live out their lifetimes
without ever travelling more than
80 miles beyond their birth places,
he emphasized.
Their land rentals are exhorbi-
tant and many of them have been
forced to pay taxes as far as l5d
years in advance. Rentals run as
high as ninety percent Of a years

lords own as much land as there
Is in the State Of Washington.
They and the war lords control
and tax and exploit the ignorant
and helpless peasants, said Fei.

Sixth Grader Is
Contest Winner

Sixth-grader Sandra Lee Schu-
ster topped the experts this week
and walked away with an easy
victory in the Courier-Reporter
football contest, and is thereby
ten dollars richer. Sandra only
missed two and on those she had
plenty Of company.
Sandra's daddy, Sam Schuster
OF Route |, Kennewick, may have
helped her little but not toe
much. Both are ardent football
fans and according to reports, are
hanging on the ropes at every 10.
cal game.
That Sandra could win in he,
own right was evidenced by a
remark of her school principal,
Mrs. Lena Mechanism. On being
informed Of Sandra's victory, Mrs.
Mechanism said, 81 thought she'd
win"
Along with Sandra, every con-
testant missed on the Whitman.
British Columbia tie. and only
three picked Oregon State to whip
the luckless Uclans.
Leonard Lortz, B. G.. Spurgeon
and r. R. Buss tied for second
spot with three misses. Two pre-
vious winners proved that i.
wasn't entirely luck when W. q.
O'Neil and Godfrey Smith each
missed four.
That Kennewick victory OVER
Richland may be considered an
upset was shown in an ANALYSIS
of the prognosticating. Only 30
per cent picked the Lions. "a
per cent favored Richland and
six per cent called in even-steven.
Not only did Sandra win tn.
contest, but she also picked the
scores remarkably close, calling
the Army-Connell game right on
the nose.
The list for the coming contest
poses some tough ones. What
about Pasco and Richland. fer
