and the
Hungry

Well it won't be long until the
winter is over-I guess-and
then we can write lies and give
wrong directions on how and
where to come home with an
empty fishing basket, but
throughout the winter we haven't
even been able to do that. Speak

morrow will be Friday That
is if you got the paper on Thurs
day During the last deer
hunting season in Yakima county
one Pasco hunter names cannot

bag one morning to be greeted
by the terrific blast of guns with
in the brush only a few yards
from his camp. He finally made
it into his pants, falling down
twice during the process, grabbed
his rifle and ran for the nearest
lookout to watch for travelling
buck who might be untouched
nothing happened-so he return
ed to camp and started preparing
breakfast. He had been SO ac-
lively engaged for about fifteen
minutes when a red clad figure
broke through the brush and in
excited tones stated that he had
the biggest buck down that he
had ever seen and that being
from the state of Maine, that was
quite a statement. So our good
Pasco neighbor agreed to 60 help
him with the details of getting
same ready for the fender ride
into town. What was his surprise
in following the boy from Maine
to have him lead him to one of
the biggest bull elk he had ever
seen lately. Said elk was stretch
ed out over yards of grass and
quite dead beyond any doubt.
Our Passco hunter trembled,
looked in all directions and said,
did you say you were from
Manner" Upon an affirmative re-
Spouse he leaned weakly against
a tree and replied: eyes that is
the largest of the deer family

in Maine are not expecting you

Quota Club Takes Action 10 Bring Swim Pool Here

ent in its scrutiny of hunters,
but that one man of this per-
sons age had a gun and was
hunting in the woods of this
state as our guest, let us say, and
hadn't even read enough outdoor
life stories to tell the difference
between an elk and a deer. Now
there can be an argument be-
tween the species of whitefish
and greyling but deer and elk
that's all.
During the war the air corps
developed a very effective light
armour which covered from the
hips up and was quite adaptable
toward turning shrapnel. 1t might
be a good buy for sporting goods
stores where one is forced to
hunt among trigger-happy sports
men from plush davenports.

4 New HYdrdnts
To Be Installed

Acting on the advice Of fire
chief Herb Malchow, the city
council Tuesday night voted to
request the Pacific Power &
Light company to install four
new hydrants in the city and to
ask that six inch hydrants and
six inch water mains be install
ed in the new Vista Homes num-
Der three addition.
Malchow told the council ev-
cry house should be within 300
feet of a fire hydrant.
Lawrence Scott Of the streets

mittee recommended purchase Of
a Minneapolis Moline loading
machine from Modern Machinery

to trouble" and SO percent can't
swim at all, said Roberts. In
1947, Benton county had 70
drownings, most of whom were
juveniles.
Looking at it from the angle
of keeping boys along the straight
and narrow path, Roberts said 40
Benton count yjuveniles were
handled by authorities in 1948
for delinquencies and that it cost
$50 to hadl eeach such case. Add
the cost of these which totals
$4,000, to $4,000 for the five jul
veniles who were sent from Ben
ton county to detention homes
and you have total cost o$4,-
400, which, Roberts contended,
would probably be eliminated if
such things as swimming pools
are provided to give the youth
something interesting and worth
while to engage in.
2. Can we afford a pool?
To get the answer to this ques-
ton, Roberts asked every person
in the chamber of commerce
meeting who has a boy or girl
under 81 to stand. Most of the
crowd stood. Then he asked them
to ask themselves whether they
wouldn't help by contributing to
pool. He said a great many
communities smaller than Ken
newick have pools and have
found ways of paying for them.
3. What kind of a pool do we
need? ~.~..
Besides the dimensions which
he suggested and the suggestion
that IS percent of the water
should be of wading depths, Ro-
berts said the pool should be
heated for cool weather and that
it would be wise to build a shed
roof and flooring that could be
put down in the winter for re-
creational use.
4. How can we get pool? -
He listed a number of posi-
bilities to answer the fourth
question::
A Public subscription.
(B) Special tax levy.
c. Bond issue.
Cd Endowment. =@
Endowment is the easiest and
the simplest if someone can be
found who would like to leave
a part of his estate to this wor-
thy cause, he said.
Lawrence Scott, the city's fl
nance committee chairman, told
members of the chamber that the
city had set aside an amount fol
a swimming pool for two year.
but dropped it from the bulge,
last year because Of no action
from swimming pool enthusi-
aStS.
Roberts suggested that the club
decide where the pool should be
seek fund for preliminary pin
ming, have plans drawn for th'
pool, and decide how much 4
necessary for the project. Ro
berts suggested $4,000 might b
needed.

Asking four questions, Cd why

afford a pool?' co what kind of
a pool should the community
have?, and az ho' wcan we get

l. A swimming pool is needed
because there were 1000 drown
ings in the United States in 1948,
most of which were to persons
who could not swim. Most of
those drowned were teen ayers
or of lower ages. Most of them
were within 80 feet of water of
wading depth. He sal dit was
easy to teach youngsters to swim

population can swim. Forty per-

WALL PAPERING.
(From E. A., .Wdshington.)

fFfOm T.. A. WGSn1n0tOnJ
For Mrs. j. H., Washington
who wanted to know how to dc
wall papering: The easiest way
for the amateur to paper is to use
the wallpaper which comes al
ready pasted. It is somewhat
more expensive per roll, but re-
quires no other equipment, so is
probably cheaper in the end fol
a small job. There are no paste
or brushes to buy, no trestle to set
up, and almost no cleaning UP
afterward.
Follow the directions for cut
ting and rolling, as given In the
directions which come In each
package. Then immerse your cut
length in water and roll In oppo-
site direction. Drain as directed
and apply to the wall. being sure
to have a plumb line for the edge
Of the first panel. After the panel
is securely on the wall and all ali
bubbles rubbed out, use clean
water and a clean cloth to wash
the paper thoroughly to remove
paste and finger prints. The fact
that the paper Is strong enough
to Withstand handling while wet
speaks well for its quality. A few
days after putting my living room
paper up it acquired few dusty
finger prints. Remembering how
it has been washed as the last
step in papering. I took a small
cloth, wet it, and, using a very lit
tie mild soap, I washed the
smudges of the paper. It dried
perfectly, which seems to prove
the paper washable, at least with
in limits.
I papered my living room, din
ing room and hall, also the stair
way. It was so successful that
later I did my mothers living
room and hall for her.
II one had three hands it would
be possible to do the paperine
alone, but it does seem to be
necessary. to have the help o1
someone to hold the panel whils
you are matching the pattern.
I hope Mrs. j. n. and others
who try k haves as much fun doing
the paperil1g as I did.

Nebo School Neus|

The last meeting of the Nebo P.

ming. The meeting was very we'll
attended and the Christmas spirit
was evident with everyone. The
winners in the room representative
count were Miss Della Tipton's
first grade for the primary, j. c.
Raburn's eighth grade for the
grammar, and Miss Elizabeth Sea-
gle's Hip grades for the high
school.
The main business of the even
ing was a discussion, by President
Robert Ballew, of the paid mem
bership contest which ended on
Monday of this week.
The program Of the evening was
a most lovely and impressive play
entitled, "Why The Chimes Ring"
Many of the people present said
the Cathedral scene and chimes was
the most impressive stage perform
ance ever given on the Nebo stage.
The Dramatics club, directed by
Mrs. Donald Chadwick, and the
choir, directed by Miss Helen Plant
cannot be too highly praised.
The .Nebo basketball teams split
q double-header with G1enwood
I last Tuesday night, December 13,

won the first game by a score of

hard fought game from the Nebo
boys 81 to %. Nebo boys keenly
felt the loss of Junior Patton, who
plays center. Because of an injury
to his ankle, which he received in
a previous game, he was unable to
play.
The cassrooms, library, and
halls of Nebo school are all gay
with Christmas decorations of ev-
cry sort. We are all disappointed
about not having our traditional
cedar, spruce and pine trees to
decorate, but cannot have this year
due to fire insurance regulation.
All rooms are planning parties
on Friday afternoon when we will
exchange gifts, play games, be Wis
tied and served by our grade moth
ers, and treated by our teachers.
