With Christmas shopping near
ing its height our active trading‘
center to the east is partially
out of communication with the
civilized world, On account. of the
present condition of Washingtonl
street sewer construction. Late
Wednesday afternoon a ,hardy‘
courier (adv) reached the inter
section of Washington and Ken
newick avenue where he gasped
his story while the fire depart
ment inhalator squad stood by.
His mountain climber's clothing
wet and torn. “Companion

gal. “Couldn’t save him . . .1

HAT EXCHANGE
A man once boasted of the fine
hat he had. “Three years old and
look at it," he said. “Good as
new. I've had it cleaned twice
and changed in a restaurant
three times.” The editor com
plains that happened to him at
the Irrigation meeting at the
Tighlands club Saturday night.
He says he wouldn’t mind except
that the new hat is isn’t quite
square enough to fit and he sug
gested that we ask‘ our thousands
of fans if they have any idea
who the party of the second 'part
is. If so he would be pleased to
change back. So we’re asking.

Outlook Bright
Ellis Dorothy, newly elected
president of the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce, officially
took over his new duties at the
Thursday noon meeting from U.
L. ‘Keolker, retiring president.
The term runs for a full year. In
his final address as president Mr,
Keolker pointed out that the or
ganization faces a full program
in the coming months. “There is
a dam to be built, an irrigation
project to be constructed, a hos
pital to be pushed, and numer
ous other smaller projects to be
considered,” he said. He express
ed his pleasure at having had
the opportunity to serve.
Mr. Dorothy in response pledg
ed his fullest abilities in carry
ing on the program and express
ed his faith in the cooperation of
the membership.
Maps of the proposedchanges
in the Sacajawea park to protect
it after the construction of the
Umatilla dam were brought be
fore the body for consideration
by Secretary Dick Rector. Two
plans considered call for either
the construction of protecting le
vies around the present park or'
the filling to raise the level of
the entire park. The latter plan
was endorsed by the chamber as
the best solution. This would re
quire moving the museum to a
higher spot and enlarging the
north side of the park to com
pensate for. some lower ground
that would be flooded.
Members rejected a suggestion
to close stores on December 24'.
but. endorsed a motion to close
the day before New Years.
Council Discusses
Plans for Airpori
Improvement of the city’s Nob
Hill airport was discussed at the
Tuesday night meeting of the
city ,council. Operator Herb
Henne appeared and reported
that increasing numbers of out-‘
siders are using the local field.
One reason for this, he stated,
is that during the recent unset
tled weather “this I%.;gatsi
isfactory at all titties many
other localities were shrouded in
fog and mist.
However, the accumulation or
junk and old auto bodies adja
cent to the field provide an
eyesore and are especially ap
parent from the air. The council
agreed to make every effort to
cooperate in improving this sit
uation. ,
The question of improving the
runways was also discussed. A
study will be made of various
methods and costs will be de—
termined.
Curbing of First avenue from
Washington to Cascade streetwas
considered. Street Commissioner
Joe Stradling reported that it
would be possible to providg a
53 foot street. a foot wider
Kennewick avenue. Trees planted
areclosetothesidewalkand it
will not be necessary ‘to disturb
them in any way. Gouda im
proving the street it is believed
that this will provide sufficient
parking space outside of the met
ered area. '

on Wednesday. "the quota o!
E Bonds has been overwh
aerlbod.
Mr. Deeter’a statement follows:

In an effort to make Washing
ton “first in the nation” the state
committee is urging the continua
tion of efforts to sell bonds. It
has been announced that bond
sales up to the end of December

that Kennewick now holds that
position and sales should be con
tinued to maintain that position.
“The final push of the mighty
Victory Loan is in full swing

state that all ible bond sale
outlets are in at; gear to make
Washington first in the nation in
