Drilling Started
At Clover Island

Throw out that diving rod,
Grandpa. The City of Kennewick
has no use for your 18th century
appliance.
When the city fathers, with
the celebrates approval, de-
cided to secure for the city a
pure and adequate water supply,
one of the first things consider.
ed was well, instead of the
present method of supply.
Clover Island was selected as
a likely site and bids were call.
ed for test wells.
You see, Grandpa, the city ia.
theirs went at this thing in
business.like way. No dealing
with the spirit world.
The hid was let to Strasser and
Sons, Portland company, which
has six rigs drilling wells at
the present time.
Bill Strasser, one Of r. Us two
sons, moved his portable rig
on to Clover Island and began
drilling late last week.
Monday morning, he reported
that he was down so feet and
that he had hit cemented gravel
or "rangold." Il
With his rig, a Star No. SO,
averaging two feet an hour,
Strasser said he would know
Thursday if the first well would
be good. His contract calls for
one to three wells.
If the first attempt proves q
"dud," the rig will be moved to
another spot on the Island.
A 12-inch well is being dug.
A 25.foot bit pounds the bot.
tom of the well. 1t Is supported
by a seven. eigkN inch cable
which is strung from a 5O-foot
tower.
The whole drilling rig weighs
In the neighborhood Of 5000
pounds and is on the. back OF
the truck.
When the bit breaks into a
water supply, Star perforator is
lowered into the well. This piece
of equipment cuts a screen in the
pipe so that the water can flow
freely and not be hampered by
sand.
Strasser explained it like this:
"Old-time well diggers used to
hit water and then ram an open
end pipe down the shaft. This
open.end pipe allowed the dirt
and sand to clog the pipe and stop
the water flow eventually"
If water is hit, the drilling will
continue until the shaft and cas-
ing are IS to 20 feet under the
surface of the pool. Then a tur-
bine test will be taken to deter

mine the flow.
Strasser said the city wanted
an average flow of 1000 gallons
a minute. ....
One reason for drilling on Clio.
yer Island pointed out by Stras-
ser, was the search for a soft
water supply. The city is seeking
soft water and hopes to get it
by drilling where the flow comes
from the Columbia river. {
If the well had been drilled on
the mainland, hard water would
have resulted as the under
ground pools are formed by
drainoffs from the Horse Heaven,
such drain.offs carrying with the
water, mineral which would
make it hard.
Don't argue Grandpa. Throw
that rod away! Time marches on!

Hello there, here and everywhere.
Brown University announced a
visiting professorship in English for
alumnus, in the person of Jay 5.
Redding, of Hampton Institute. He
is the first Negro ever appointed
to the Brown faculty. I would like
to see one or more in our state
school here, wouldn't you?
H. Waits, a lawyer and state
legislator of the state of Mississippi,
told the Rotarians that unless we
improve our Negro educational ia
cilities, the South stood to loose her
system of segregation. He is
eminently correct. The U n it e d
States Supreme Court long ago
ruled that equal facilities had to be
available before either race could
be denied access to the facilities of
the other. If the Negro has the
same thing in his schools that the
white man has in his, he can't shout
discrimination. Personally, 1 see no
reason why, do you? If the kids
from the South can go North, East
and West and attend mixed schools,
and they don't create a problem, I
just can't see why it is such big,
big problem in the southern States.
It is the little thing in life that
count most. Precious things take a
small space. Every great thing
started from a small beginning.
You can plant an acorn in a tiny
space, and in matter of years,
you have a beautiful tree. Some
thing to invite the admiration of
man, the fowls of the air and the
beasts of the fields. It isn't the
quantity of the matter it is the
quality that counts.
The xxx of Georgia have as
their imperial wizard a former di-
rector of the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation-the state FBI.
That is why so many crimes have
gone unpunished down there per-
tanning to Negroes, also unsolved.
Too many of the top leaders are
members of the Klans. While the
government and the Negroes are
meddling in the sayings and doings
of Robertson and Walter Whites,
and purging the country of Com
munists, they fail to seek into the
background and present status of
the guys who are supposed to be
enforcing the law. How can per-
son enforce law, when he is pred
judice and full of discrimination?
The main topic of discussions is
Reds, Communists, Religion and the
overthrow of the Government. If
the klans continue in the present,
as they have in the past, the Com
munists won't have a chance. Bye
Nok-So Long-'til then.

Very few stores here use full

of hobby careerists" for their
shows. Earnings in the mod

not so high as some glamour

top-flight models, who ap-
pear in many shows a week,
pull down anything like the
top salary, which can be as
high as $3.50 a week-but
there are slack weeks even

Adoption Of Negro

LONDON - (ANP) -- Proposals
to send children of British girls ard
American Negro soldiers to the
United States for adoption were APP
proved here last Wednesday by the
Derbyshire children's committee. The
original suggestion was made by the
Somerset county council, which ask
ed amendment of British laws to
enable American Negro families to
adopt children not related to them.
The reason behind the move to
send the children to the u. S. is
that they are beginning to create
social problems in many British
communities. Most of the children
now about five years old, are start
ing to go to school.
About As of these children are
known to be in Somerset county. Ac-
