Kennewick schools will not have
to close on account of low electric

newick want them to remain up-
en-" O. w. Hurd, manager of The
Benton County Public Utility
District, told members of the Ken
newick chamber of commerce at
a regular luncheon meeting at
the Arrow Grill today.
Hurd listed four ways by which
more ample supply of current
can be assured for all users:
1. Close offices that can do SO
earlier.
2. Eliminate banner lighting OF
car lots from 4:3O to 600 pm.
8. Lower the intensity of light
ing.
4. Limit the use of space heat
ers, which, he said, are the great
est users of current.
A note of encouragement was
sounded by Hurd. He said there
was reason to believe the power
situation would be much better
year hence.
The speaker pointed out thai
the present power shortage hae
been anticipated for some time
before the war. But he said opln
ion had differed as to wien the
shortage would become acute
Some private power experts pre-
dicted there would be surplus ir

diction had lowered the interes'

The Moving Finger Writes

The Moving Finger Writes
Thirty-thrce months have passed
into the limbo Of yesteryear, that
brief distance when Branch Rick
ey brought soft-speaktng and in
teligcnt Jackie TO his Montreal
team Of the International league.
. Baseball men like JIMMY
POWERS, sports editor Of the
Daily News with two million
daily readers, and basebaIIs
greatest pitcher in the last dec
AIDE, Bob Teller, predicted that
the Negro ball player would-not-
make the grade in either the les
ser circuit or with the big timers.
But he fooled them badly then as
he delighted others who believed
in his outstanding ability all thru
1919. What Father Time wrote
into the 1919 baseball archives
about Jackie Robinson will delight
his son when he reaches grammar
school age three years hence.
This is how it reads: Played in
1856 ball games missing but four
innings thru 1t all; won over Stan
Musial and Enos Slaughter of the
st. Louis Cardinals by a narrow
margin, finishing with a percen-
tage of .342; banged out 203 hits;
had 314 total bases to his credit;
hit for II three-base blows; whip
ped out 80 two baggers; led his
club with II sacrifice hits; stole
81 bases and batted in 124 runs.

by Boston Of the National league.

Jethroe appears destined for sure
