OPENING

OPENING
= The Bateman brothers were jul
bilant Tuesday with the gene
rous community response to the
opening Of the Kennewick Inn
and have stated that as soon as
weather permits, they will push
the completion Of the balance OF
Kennewick's largest commercial
structure. Congratulations to Char
lie and Wallace for their faith in
the future which they have back
ed up with the expenditure of a
huge number of those inflated
dollars.
MISSED
The Courier-Reporter was pleas
ed with the feeling Of fine coop
GRAFTON among the contractors
and supplers Of the Bateman
building. We did miss one con-
tractor in the advertising layout
Of last week. That was Hams
Electric. Mr.. Ham suggested we
run one this week saying, "Sorry
we were late - we forgot our
tools"
CONTROVERSY
One of the most controversial
subjects Of the country has bob
bed up again in the request Of
Presiden. Truman for legislation
to establish a Columbia Valley
Authority. The governors of the
three states involved were prompt
in condemning the move. Whetn-
er or not .he governors speak for
a majority Of the population Is
a moot question. In any event,
there will be a lot Of activity
Throughout. the northwest by
proponents and opponents. Re-
gardless Of my personal opinion
on the matter, I hope final de-
cision will be based on thorough
discussion and understanding Of
the plan.
DISCUSSIONS
Such discussions should be bas-
ed on factual grounds and
thoughtful consideration. It is
obvious that party politics as well
as the private versus public own
ership arguments will enter into
the discussions. The Courier-Re-
porter will attempt to provide in
formation to supplement other
newspaper and radio coverage.
To formulate an opinion poll OF
Kennewick residents, ! urge the
use of the Dear Editor" columns.
All letters will be published un-
less they are libelous.

Education
By Angelo Potri

When I ask for the Year
Around School I am not asking
for the Sit-and-Lsten School
which aff1icts so many commune
ties. One session of that type of
school is too much. s.-
Education which functions in
life is good education. It IS the
functioning that makes education
valuable. Unused knowledge is
mental rubbish. Why pile it on?
Why force children to sit in
benches and by sheer force Of
will, and under the fear Of dis
grace make them learn q list Of
facts having scant meaning now
and in the future?
The school our children need
is place where each. according
to his nature and ability, finds
knowledge, skill and opportunity
to enrich his mind, strengthen his
body and develop his finest traits.
That cannot be done in a school
teaching academic subjects; a
school with the sole aim of put
ting children through course Of
study and rating them. Informa-
ton educates nobody. 1nforma-
ton applied to ones interests and
abilities is something different.
The school which a city child
requires is not like the one the
country child needs. The basic
experiences, the family habits.
the demands of the environment
are different. The city child needs
a session in the country where he
may find valuable experiences to
enrich his life. The country child
finds enlightening and satisfying
experiences on a visit to the city.
The world is so full Of number
of things-all usable. all valu-
able. There awaits every child,
the education through experience
he needs.
We can call on helpful organi-
cations like the Scouts and the
Campfire Girls, the Churches and
the Good Neighbors. We don't
use the community teachers as we
could. ALI skilled workers such
as farmers, artists, construction
workers, dressmakers and home
makers, are potential teachers.
Many of them, If invited and en-
couraged, would teach children
the skills of which they are
masters.

Energy, pep, plus energy. above
the rim energy, is our most pre-
cious possession! 1t releases us
from the slavery of modern liv-
ing, from encouragement, from
pettiness, from boredom, from
irritability! Whenever you find a
mean or catty person you find one
who is i'll compared to happy
values!
Just a little plus in vitality
makes the difference between
vibrant living and a dull, colorless
life. If this is true, then GER
tainly abundant energy and con-
servation of energy are worth
planning for-and you will have
to plan!
Life has a way of sneaking up
on us, of grabbing us by the neck
and pushing us down the years
without time for relaxation, for
meditation, for laughter. for liv-
ing. Why, then, do we go along in
the same old ruts. neglecting the
very foundation of vital living?
The more successful a person
is, the more loved, the greater in
demand, the buster, the more need
for intelligent, planned relaxation.
What most people call relaxation
is enough to put them in strait
jackets or at least in a hospital.
Do not wait until you are about
to have a nervous breakdown or
until life is dulled for you by
constant fatigue. Take sensible
preventive measures.

History of Perfume

GUS animal p2oducts whose names
have capturEd poets and story
tellers' imaginations in every
century from time immemorial-
and particularly in his choice OF
the right one in the proper
amount to blend and hold the
fragrance, that he adds the touch
of magic. The various ingredi-
ents that he has used have a
different rate of evaporation. The
purpose of the f1xative is to
equalize the rate of evaporation
of all, to slow down those that
are fast-evaporating, so that the

lists had a busy time supplying the
quantities of fragrant concoc-
tions that were required by the
ladies and gentlemen of royalty
and the upper classes. Perfume
became a part of fashion. AS
Western Europe became the trade
center of the world, the develop
ment of the luxury and comfort
industries naturally followed.
Germany's scientific progress, par
ticularly in the realm of chemis-
try, made possible the practical
and economical extraction OF the
fragrant essences from plants and
! flowers. Perfumed toiletries be-
gan to be made on large scale
and aristocrats and commoners
alike INDUCED their enjoyment OF
them.
That France became the center
of world perfumery during the
10Th Century was dependent upon
two major factors. The first was
the discovery that the rich soil,
the warm sun and the ideal eli
mate of Southern France produced
profuse amounts of the most frag-
rant flowers. Families living in
that area succeeded, through gen.
erations, in perfecting a method
of extracting the fragrance-laden
oil from their flowers and it is
fact that to this day no finer
method for obtaining the true
flower oil has been found. The
second influence~was the rise OF
Paris as the fashion center of the
world. In fact, so closely allied
was perfume with fashion at the
beginning Of the Goth century
that many of the Partisan cou-
turiers became the perfumers as
well.
How does the perfumer learn
his art, you might ask? To begin
with, his nose" or extremely
sensitive sense Of smell, is his
God given talent. In addition he
must have a scientific brain, a
creative instinct. and the patience
to devote years and years to the
building up of a snell-memory.
His tools are the many fragrant
odors-foral, spicy, grassy. woody,
fruity, to suggest only few-and
their thousands of variations that
have a different odor character
due to the peculiar soil and cli-
mate combination that produced
them. The skilled perfumer is
able to identify each one and call
it by name. so often a strange
sounding and foreign one. Even
more, he can detect whether the
fodor is due to the pure substance,
whether it is first, second or third
quality. and by what process it
was extracted. No textbook aids
him in acquiring his special abili-
ty, other than to give him the his
torical and geographical back
ground of each fragrance. He has
learned to smell by smelling,
many years. hours and hours each
day.
In creating a new perfume, the
perfume artist uses many essen
tial oils to build up the dominant
note of his fragrance. be it rose
or lilac or exotic flower. He Sc
lects others to round out the bou-
quet and provide the interesting
second and third notes. He chooses
still others for their stabilizing
effect upon the odor balance.
Some of the ingredients may be
present only in infinitesimal
amounts, but they contribute i'm
portantly to the finished product.
The establishment of a desired
fragrance is time-consuming on
the part Of the perfumer and it
is here that his patiently devel-
oped smell-memory serves him
well. But it is in his knowledge

ordS of the customs and habits
of races and nationalities, there is
some reference to the part that
perfumes played in the lives of
all peoples. OF course, they were
not perfumes as we know them
today. In ancient days a scent
was a single fragrant oil. Com
pare that with our present-day
perfumer's creation. Do you know
that your favorite perfume may
contain as many as 300 different
essential oils and aromatic chem
icals? That is a far cry from the
simple resinous gum and oil OF
citrus peel which were the frag-
rant substances that earliest man
extracted and made use of.
The perfume lore that has come
down to us through the ages
makes very interesting reading.
Consider the very word, perfume,
for example. 1t derives from two
Latin words to mean through
smoke" This would seem to indi-
cate that the first fragrant aroma
was obtained by burning resinous
woods. History tells us just that.
Early worshippers made fragrant
offerings to their gods by burn
ing wood and incense, evidently
hoping the gods would be more
receptive to entreaties and pray
ers that were waited heavenward
on a cloud of fragrant smoke.
Curative properties as we'll were
attributed to the sweetly odorous
materials, which is readily un-
derstandable when one realizes
that the heather priests were
also the first doctors.
AS he devised means of extract
ing the sweet-smelling resin and
the oil of the citrus fruit, primitive
mans sensual enjoyment OF
fragrance increased. He collected
the gum by the simple expedient
of making an incision in the bark
of the tree. He pressed out the
oil of the fruit peel. The real
challenge to his initiative was the
preserving of the most fragrant
of all oils. those contained in
flowers. In accomplishing this
he worked out the rudiments OF
steam distillation. His crude ex-
periments were the forerunners OF
some of the methods of fragrant
oil extraction that are used today
True. they have been modernized
considerably by scientific and
technical progress. but it is amaz-
ing to learn how many of the
citrus oils, for example, used in
modern perfumery are still OBJ
tanned in out-of-the-way places OF
the world by primitive methods.
After the fall of Rome, the de-
velopment of perfumery shifted to
the East. What with the ancient
discoveries of the Chinese musk,
the patchouli of the Hindus, the
Persian altar of rose, to name
only a few, the Orientals had
plenty Of precious materials to
work with. The gallant knights
of the West who travelled far
afleld to do battle in the Crusades
and who brought back to their
lady loves many of the famed
perfumes of the East, had the far
reaching effect of establishing the
perfume habits of the people of
Western Europe. AS tradin G
between the East and West
progressed. great quantities. of
spices and other perfume COM
modities were brought to Europe
from India and China. It is inter-
esting to note that the interchange
of perfume materials has always
played an important part in the
beginnings Of trade in all coun-
tries.
