Unreasonable Snowfall Mars
Otherwise Joyous Easter Here
Weather as Bad
AS 0ldtimers Here
Can Remember
Sc Inches of Snow
Reported for Sunday;
Temperature only 27

Weather about as disagreeabie
as even the oldest residents can
remember for Easter marred the
otherwise joyous observance OF
the day in Union County, Sunday.
The day was bright, but chilly,
early in the morning, but before
noon it had started to snow.
1t was a wet, sticky snow which
melted almost as fast as it fell,
especially on streets and side
walks. A certain amount of rain
was mixed with the snow, and it
was difficult at times to tell
where one left off and the other
began.
The precipitation was ac-
companied by unreasonable tenn
peratures for this time of the
year, falling to q above during
the night according to Russell 5.
Banks, local observer for the U. s.
Weather Bureau.
The miserable weather began
Thursday evening with heavy
rainfall, following warm, sun
shiny weather most of that day.
Temperatures rose TO 81 degrees,
Wednesday, far warmer than 1t
has been any time since.
Good Friday was cold and dis
agreeable, with several snow fur
ries throughout the day. There,
was also some snowfall Saturday,
but neither day compared with
Sunday in that respect.
There have been a few occas-
ions in the past when snow has
fallen here even later in the
spring than this; even a rare time
or two when it was recorded in
May. But it is extremely uncom-
mon for this late in the year, and
almost unheard of on Easter.
High and low temperatures,
rain and snowfall last week were:

Findland's greatest desire now
is to have peace.
That was whatMrs. Anton Norl-
ing of Kennewick found when she
end her husband visited there the
the past fall.
After being invaded by Russian

the people of Finland hope and
pray for peace. If they can have
peace, they feel, they can live In
happiness and with reasonable
prosperity. said Mrs Norling.

the southwest corner of Kenne-
wick on a five-acre farm, which
is the last five acres of a farm

Kennewick last August % and re-
turned December %. During their

By EUGENE s. STAPLES

United Press Staff Correspondent
Mexico City GU. P0n- The inn
portance of Mexican oil to the
United States in event of another
war cannot be over-estimated, ac-
cording to high military sources.
But they are worried about pos
sible sabotage. -. ":
First enemy moves in a third

directed against the oil-rich Mid
die East, leaving the oil holdings
of this hemisphere as the United
States main domestic and foreign
supply.
Mexico last year produced S.
2S4, 146 barrels of crude oil.
Protection of that production is
a brain-racking problem. Modern
techniques of sabotage leave moth
ing to luck, and a small but we'll
organized group of saboteurs in
the Mexican or Venezuelan oil
fields could destroy hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of
precious oil in seconds. ..s.
Situation Changed ~
1t is assumed that protection of
Mexican oil fields was discusses
at the recent meeting of the joint
Mexican-American defense COM
mission, although the meetings
were secret.
The situation in hemisphere oil
fields will, in case of war, be
quite different from that OF the
last war. The main difference is
one of political leanings. Although
the Germans were strong through
out Latin America before the last
war, few workers were believers
