So, says DR.. E. v. CoWdry,

bright young men as possible to
the Paris meeting. Maybe, with

the Europeans and others they'll

DR.. CoWdry hopes earnestly

It'll cost about $500 to send
each young scientist and bring
him back. AS it looks now, there
is enough cash in sight for ap-
proximately 80. The committee
leaders would like to see at least
twice that number go.
In all, probably 200 American
scientists will attend.
The committee is not worried
about paying the fare for the ex-

young people with agile minds

believe would have the best chance
of coming up with a bright idea

Jam Sessions
ForFUnd Drive

Union musicians in the Tri-
City area will stage series of
jam sessions for the benefit of
the Kennewick hospital fund
drive, it was announced today by
Clyde Anderson, chairman of the
drives special projects commit
tee.
Anderson said he had been in
formed by Ted Myrick, musicians
union business agent, that the
union had approved the dona-
ton of time by the musicians.
The first session will be held this
Saturday night beginning at
1890, at the Rivera Supper club.
The adult public is invited and
although there will be no ad.
mission charge, a collection will
be taken.
"Mr. Myrick told me that the
union felt that since the must
clans resided throughout the
area the proceeds of the jam
session should be split and even
portions be donated to both the
Kennewick and Pasco hospital
funds. We feel that this is fair
and have accepted the arrange.
ment on that basis" Anderson
said.

Discontinue Bus
Service; Cause
IsNo PATRONAGE

City bus service in KenneWick
was discontinued last Thursday.
R. L. Hayford, operator, gave
lack of patronage as the reason
for the action. This bus service
has no connection with the inter-
city buses between Pasco and
Kennewick and these cities and
Richland. III
r. L. Hayford, who took over
operation of the bus franchise
with permission of the city coun-
Gil three months ago, told The
HERALD this morning that costs
and lack of patronage necessi-
tated the action.
IT couldn't meet my insurance
payments" he said. "My insur-
ance expired yesterday. I've tried
to arrange for finances for rein
statement. Since / was unable to
do this, l feel I must discontinue
service" Z.
The matter of financial help to
keep the bus line operating was
brought up at an emergency
meeting of the KenneWick
Chamber of Commerce board of
directors last week by Gene
Spaulding, president.
However, the matter lost out
because a quorum was lacking.
The board had arranged the hur-
ried meeting regarding its part
in the current hospital cam.
paign. Spaulding, in supporting
the need for bus service termed
the lines a public service"
Hayford reported that he av-
eraged 80 fares per day. Indi.
vidual rides cost IL cents but a
book of 10 rides could be pur-
chased for a dollar. Children
travelled for half fare.
ri figured up my earnings since
I took over the bus lines. They
came to $213 per day-and that
was a IL hour day. But that
leaves nothing for depreciation
on my equipment"
WORLD WAR VETERAN
Hayford, World War II vet
eran, is on leave of absence from
the Northern Pacific railroad
where he works as brakeman.
He intends to return to railroad
work.
He took over the lines from
James C. Winder. Winder, who
started the bus line some months
before, was losing money and
wanted to get out of the bust
ness. Hayford had figured at the
time he could build the service
into a paying proposition.
The yearly insurance premium
is $3.50. He needs $50 to carry
him through this quarter.

Brick Oliver, once an ardent
baseball fan, has joined the
would rather" club.
If you prowl around among
old baseball fans you find a
considerable percentage who
have done the same. Some
others have turned to other
sports. That is often the case
where there is no fast local base
ball team.
Those who abandon baseball
for softball, football, basketball,
wrestling, and what have you,
belong to the would rather"
club. 1t takes a lot of this and
that to keep up the standard of
your fandom in baseball !.
Many games week, missing a
lot of other evening events, now
that night games are the thing.
But there is only one reason why
a man turns to softbau. It's
because he likes it.
Softball, like the other diam
ond game, goes on in some
cities every night. Here it's
most of the nights. Those who
60 in for baseball find that a
compact athletic dish, especial.
ly during the winter months.
Persons who don't mind being
bilked, have dropped baseball
for the groan and grunt pastime.
Brick Oliver, who likes his 9th.
letics out in the open and often
during favorable weather, has
gone in for softbal1. He not only
likes it; he likes it better than
the, old game. He is only one a.
mong many.
As for this writer, he never
finds any sport, that can come
up to the old game played by
Christy Mathewson, Walter
Johnson, Ty Cobb, iris Speaker,
Al Simmons, and a host OF
others.
He has seen all these and a
flock of other big leaguers, has
covered the teams in spring
training, and they form the
background of an interesting
past. Walter Johnson was one OF
the finest men he ever knew.
Rogers Hornsby was one Of the
toughest guys. Connie Mack
will be a legend.
It's interesting, however, to
hear the softball enthusiasts
talk about their game, in which
talk there is a lot of fact. AL.

handed, because the distance
between the pitchers box and
the home plate is less. With
shorter outfield fences, home
runs are often numerous, but
more distance can be gotten by
a baseball batter. Between two
fast clubs, base running is all
important in softball. Bases be-.
ing closer together, chances for
base stealing are more frequent.
Knowing this, base runners and
basemen alike are always alert
for the try.
Softball is not a game for
walking either, and the fact that
the ball is called "softball"
means nothing in particular. The

it favorably with the game he

Suit Against Hospital
For Wrong Diagnosis
Settled for $500

jury and Judge F. Dickinson Let's,
concerning charges brought by
Mrs. Lizzie M. Harbaugh, IS,
against Emergency Hospital and
DR.. Charles Warf1eld, former in

Her suit was filed in May. 1916,
six months after Mrs. Harbaugh
was found unconscious in her
former home here and taken to
Emergency Hospital.
Lodged on Drunk Charge.
At subsequent trial, testimony
was introduced to show that Mrs.

over to police, who lodged her at
the Woman's Bureau on a drunk
charge.

$4,000. New Homes In NORWAY

. Providing homes for a rapidly
growing poeulace following a five
year period when no homes were
built and many were destroyed is
a task which may prove mislead-
ing statistics during it's initial
stages. This characteristic of Nor
ways national Housing program
was recently illustrated at the
Norwegian Architects Exhibit in
Oslo which was devoted primarily
at a review of the housing pro-
gram now under way. Particu-
larly in the larger cities of Oslo
and Bergen was it shown that the
number of dwelling units COM
pleted between May, 1945 and the
present time is far below the pre-
war average.
On the other hand, however, fig
ures for units under construction
are many times greater than for
the best pre-war years. This is
due to the fact that urban build
ing is almost entirely in the form
of large block-complexes-no unit
of which can be declared complete
until the whole building is ready
for occupation. Conversely, build
; ing figures for smaller towns and
added during 1947 were some 120
