Out of more than $4,000 boys
who have. become citizens Of Boys
Town. Nebr., there is no record
that any one ever returned to a

by Howard S. Page, Couer d
'Alene insurance man and bach
elor, who makes a hobby OF help
ing boys out Of trouble.
Page got into the work. he told
the Rotarians, several years ago
when he became interested in q
boy, who had got off on the WRONG
foot. Calling the late Father Elan.
nagan at Boys Town, Nebr., he
entered upon a friendship thai
continued between the insurance
man and the Priest until the Fa'

Achvians Sill
Need Old Toys

Kennewick Activians have
renewed their request for used or
broken toys that may be repaired
for distribution to underprivileg-
ed children, for Christmas.
The club members plan 10
spend evenings and spare time
on the work. Jim Walker, former
president of the club, has prepar-
ed work shop in the basement Of
his home for the work.
President Bob Matheson has an
nounced that barrels will be plac-
ed in several business establish
ments where toys may be left for
the club.
mo matter how badly toys are
worn or broken, we can still use
Them" Matheson said. "In many
cases toys beyond repair may,
like an automobile wrecking yard,
provide necessary parts to re-
pair other toys. Anything with
wheels will be especially in de-
mand."
Activians are eager to get TO
work on the project and are hope
full of an early response to their
request.

Written Word IS Difference Between
LethargY and Progress. Speaker Says

He closed his talk with a COM
ment on the many technical ad-
vances in the newspaper world.
The 8 months long strike Of print
ers in Chicago, he said, resulted
in. the production Of newspapers
that were typed by stenographers,
photographed and engraved and
printed in a form new to the
reader.
Fearful circulation departments
were surprised to discover their
subscribers increasing as readers
became acquainted with, and
liked, the new Newspaper form.
Brock also mentioned the de-
velopment of q radar process Of
printing, in which ink actually
Jumps across a small space In
tervening between type and pa
per to make possible printing with
out pressure. The new process has
reduced printing costs by one
third, and two Chicago publish
ing houses are using it.
"Out Of the tragedy Of q pro-
longed strike, came this revolu-
donary Improvement" he noted.
Brock graduated from Whitman
College with the class of 1898,
and took his first job on the Wal
la Walla Union Bulletin in 1890,
while stil1 an undergraduate. He
remembers p. b. johnson as zone

Among the major stories he has
covered are the world fair, which

the Oregonian, the San Francisco
fire and the Rondike gold rush.
At his Finley home, he is now
writing a comprehensive history
of the northwest. Asked how long
he has worked on the book, he re-
piled: "Why, for So years"

Vernon cramlinq
Raises Fine Seed
As FLA Project

Vernon Granting has approxi-
mately 800 bushels of certified
Red seed wheat for sale. The
wheat was grown on the home
farm of Ralph Nicoson, under q
program sponsored by the North
west Crop Improvement associa-
'tion.
The wheat is of excellent quail
sity with high test. The follow
ing is the result of the test:
weight, 66 pounds per bushel; pur-
ity, 99.49; no weeds; inert mater
ial before cleaning, .48; 5 kernals
of white wheat per pound.
The wheat is for sale at SOC
per bushel above market price,
and is sacked in new sacks with
blue tags.
Vernon grew his 14.7 acres OF
wheat as an FLA project and per-
formed very thorough job of
rogueing and cleaning the grain.
According to Victor D. Rogers.
agriculture instructor, anyone de-
string some really good seed
wheat would not 60 wrong in buy
ing some of this wheat.
Vernon may be contacted by
calling the Ralph Nicoson resi-
dence, or by contracting Rogers
at the Kennewick High school.
He is a Junior and is doing
very fine work, both in school and
out of school, in FLA projects and
other activities.

The written word is the differ
ence between backwards and adj
vanced civilizations, Wilbur =.
Brock. who took his first report
ing lob in 1890 told the Kenne-
wick Kiwanis club Tuesday.
Because the memories OF men
are short, only the written record
can convey the experience and
knowledge Of men to succeeding
generations, he said.
But confidence in the written
word is imperiled, Brock continue
ued. by the Shotgun coverage
Of the large metropolitan daily
newspapers. When news happens,
he explained, the first available
reporter arrives at the scene, op-
serves and questions witnesses and
phone his story into the editoraal
offices. There secretary taxes
his verbal report down IN snort
hand. and gives her transcription
to q "re-write" man, who must
draw upon his imagination to put
the facts into a readable story. /.

Such hish-speed reportoriai
methods have resulted in the de-
yelopment of q much greater
reader confidence in the country
press than that given to the dali
les, he said. Readers know tnen
own country editors and rely on
the accuracy Of their reporting.
Weeklies therefore, have more
influence in elections and other
social and community campaigns

Political
ReDie7U

The name of Jay Perry is al
most a household word in Benton
county. A state official more
than a year ago remarked to us
nj Jay is as well informed on
Pl6unty government, especially in
regard to taxation and financing,
as any county commissioner in the
state.
A Benton county commissioner
for IL years, he has gained a
wide experience in county gov
eminent. We believe his state-
ment ON his election card is over
modest when he says: CLOSELY
identified with road, reclamation
and river development. He is
now serving as chairman of the
Irrigation Projects committee.
With two other members of the
committee, his trip to the ma
tons capital last winter probably
did more than any other one thing
to bring about the passage in
congress Of the authorization bill
for the Kennewick project.
It must be remembered by
voters that they will vote on cam
didates for county commissioners
in all three districts in the general
election.
We enjoyed a pleasant visit
Saturday with a nominee from
the first commissioner district,
Preston A. Brooks. Brooks won
the Republican nomination. in one
Of the closest races in many a
year. The count Of four absentee
ballots gave him a margin of only
four votes over George Thomp-
son, incumbent.
Brooks has been resident of
Benton county for 80 years. Work
On a farm with his family,
ne later farmed for Is years on
his own. At the present time he
S operating an apartment house
in Benton City. He pledges to
cooperate with other commission
Frs for the best interests and de-
velopment of the county. He
wants to see that the county gets
its full share of state funds and
urges an immediate census to
assure that our increase in popu-
lation is given proper considera-
tion.
We haven't heard from other
commissioner candidates but no
doubt will have more information
on them before the election dead
line.
So much interest is being dis
played in initiatives and referen-
dums that we will give them spec
ial treatment next week.
In fact we have asked Ole H.
Olson to provide us with digest
which he has agreed to do. Ole,
besides being candidate for the
state legislature, is well qualified
to view these measures from an
unbiased viewpoint. He is a
former legislator and as well has
been a neewspaperman for as
long as he can remember.

tinuation of his original contract,

Unless the relief given by the

ing units win begin TO heat the

thrash out the pros and
cons Of airfield landing
strips versus high voltage
transmission lines.
Richard Rector, city superin-
tendent, was instructed to arrange
the meeting at the earliest pos
sible date.
A proposal Of the Benton coun-
ty PUD to run 10000 volt pow
er lines past the Twin City Air
port to the site of the new sub
station at the intersection Of
Tenth Avenue and Auburn Street
would result in closure Of the air
port by the Civil Aeronautics
Authority, delegation Of Is fly
ers, instructors and aircraft me-
chanics told counclimen.
Home owners at the meeting
reported that families living near
the field have been without elec-
trical service for from months
to a year because of the power
line empasse.
Suggestions that the PUD could
string wire along alternative
routes drew the comment from
Bob Cruzen, PUD Superintendent
of Power, that the proposed
Tenth Avenue line is the back
bone" Of the system planned to
carry power to fast building Mob
Hill residential areas, the city
owned industrial property near
the airport and the Finley Hover
area.
# the PUD is compelled to use
alternative routes for the lines,
the industrial development Of the
locality might as well be forgot
ten, Cruzen challenged.
He disclosed also that an ample
power supply for the entire Ken
newick community is nearer now
that it has ever been. "By April
or May we VIII have more power
at our back door than we can use
in the next several years." he
said.
Members of the flyers delega-
ton, headed by Herb Henne, air
port manager, outlined the value
of the field to the city, the i'm
portance of its annual local exc
penditure Of between $4,000
and $500, 900, and its vital rela-
ton to the flight training of many
