Kennewick Postmaster Walt
Woehler brought the action to
the Juvenile court after his son

after Woehler appeared at a
Kennewick city council meeting

A subsequent check of the po-
lice court records brought out
the fact that, as far as the rec.
ords could be checked, 16 juven-
lies had appeared in court and
been fined or had posted bail
and then forfeited.
However, Winkenwerder later
told The Herald that the young

court with their parents.

Other than revealing that the
decision had been set aside,
Woehler refused to talk about
the case, but did report that he

Who has the reddest face

Who has the reddest face in
Kennewick these days?
Mark N. Fisher, Kennewick pc.
lice officer who has charge of
the parking meters, can easily
supply the answer.
Fisher, who returned from his
vacation this past weekend, had

law-abiding citizens, he put his

Only one thing was wrong.
Fisher parked longer than the
allotted time and received a

many. he's issued.
At the station, his excuse was
passed off with a 'T've heard
that one before"
Fisher paid the fine.

Announcement of the govern

Hundreds of local persons ex.

pie who may rush here for jobs,
to play down job prospects to
the outside country. They point
out that the local supply of labor
plus those who will come in
from nearby cities should supply
the demands for sometime. How
long they do. not know. A big
surplus of labor here would not
be good for the community or
anyone else, they contend, which
is a commonsense position to
take, it would seem.

Mr.. Smith says the story was
printed in the Saturday Evening
Post some years ago and that it

back yard of old Kennewick. A
man by the name of Baker
bought two railroad engines,
had a time of it getting them
here, then was faced with the
problem of rails, iron rails being
unobtainable. Finally wood rails |
were laid from Wallula to Walla |
Walla, the levels being estab.
lished by using a half.filled
whiskey bottle tied to a horse.
Soon the wood rails started
slivering and to cure this, cattle |
running wild in the area were
killed, their hides tanned, and
the leather was used to cover
the rails. The leather soon work.

heavy engines passed over, and
the rails were much better. But
finally there was a hard winter
and much snow. The engines

the leather off the rails. That
