Anent the dirt, trash and dead

some planned action by the city
gdads. You’ve no doubt noticed the
unexcelled groves of dead tumble

‘A spring clean-up campaign with
some flaming posters marking the
worst spots might help.

Attendance High at
Youth Banquet, Rally
The National Christian Youth
Week banquet and rally held last
Saturday night at the Pasco USO
drew a large attendance from
youth groups of the lower valley
churches and was a fitting clim
ax to the observance as sponsor
ed by the Mid-Columbia Council
of Christian Youth.
Byard Slocumb of Finley, presi
dent of the Council, was the toast
master of the occasion. Rev. Ken
neth Bell of Richland is the adult
advisor for the groups. The din
ner was served by the ladies of
the Pasco Methodist and Christ
ian churches. Rev. Ben Davis of
Seattle and Miss Mary Ann Truit
of the College of Puget Sound
were the chief speakers and youth
leader.
Following the dinner and the ad
dress by Rev. Davis the evening
was devoted to a variety of fellow
ship and informal group' round
table discussion. Several pastors
and adult leaders were present
48 western states. flow many
dark to daylight trams operate

body seenys to know, but I can
tell you one thing. It took Just
one of the several a few mghts ago
ninetten l-o-n-g and rawkus blasts
to negotiate the environs of our
trying-to-sleep town. That’s about
an average. Count them your
self some night instead of the cus
tomary seven billion sheep. There
are states and cities where loco
motive toots are legally restricted
to reasonable snorts.
What about all this clutter of
bottlesand broken glass that cov
ers the streets, paths, sidewalks,
parkings, vacant lots and laps over
onto lawns and yards? It would
n’t be a menace to auto and ped
estrain traffic would it? To say
nothing of the pride and sense of
propriety and'good taste of many
people who are sick and tired of
this constant display of public
boozing.
_ And there is that perennial sub-
Ject of paper and trash which cov
ers the main stem walks and door
ways with each western breeze
when it’s on a whiz. Everybody
talgs about it but nobody does any
thing about it. Maybe it _ean’t
be whipped. But'maybe it could
be with a public investigation as
to its main sources. I would sug
gest three possible lines of ap
proach, as the congressional in
vestigators say. Vacant lots cov
ered with weeds filled with old
paper and trash;— the school‘kids
lunch trails from the canal bridge
to the stores, the business places
along the alley ways.
Yours for a better, bigger, clean

:I'HE KENNEWICK COURIER - REPORTER
| Bear Ellilor: I
Dear Editor:
A few words with regard to the
calibre of officiating that has been‘
witnessed by us in this Lower
Yakima Valley League during the
first half of league play. We sin
cerely believe that the men ap
pointed officially by the Yakima
Conference are doing a swell job
of it, and while from the specta
tors’ standpoint they may miss
some decisions, in nine out of ten
\cases, they are strictly following
:the rules set up in the Official In
structions governing the game of
’basketball. .
In the heat of many of the
games, partisan feelings are bound
to assert themselves. and we are
as guilty as the next one, but when
it comes right down to it, none of
these officials is deliberately call
ing fouls against any member of
either team, nor are they trying
to appease the feelings of the
coaches or rooters. They call them
the way they see them, and as they
are the ones chosen to do so, it
behooves all of us to remember
these facts.
' We have been told, and justly
so, by many spectators (and we
feel the same way) that it is our
privilege to give vent to a decisnon
that appears to us to be against
our interpretation of a certain
play or condition, but let us please
remember that any of the officials
could give us cards and spades,
and still tie us up in knots with
regard to the correct meaning of
the contents of the rule book.
Mass. booing, on yelling against
the decisions handed down by the
officials, by any crowd, regardless
if it be in Kennewick or any other
town, is not going to change their
decision, because it was first made
by them and they will, normally,
adhere to it. Let the respective
coaches do the first hand arguing
with the officials, if they think
they are right—meanwhile we all
canyellaslongandashardaswe
are able in support of good plays
and clean sportsmanship.
As mentioned above, we are as
rabid a fan as the next, but we
find that the officials of this sec
tion are above the average and we
know that any player on either
team 18 not an individual, but a

The winter installment of Car-l

books has arrived and includes the
following: Europe, An Altar of Hu
man Geography by Martha Kai
chman, Native Peoples of the [fac
ific World by Felix M. Keesing,
A Price for Peace by Antonin
Basch, and Canada and the Fight
for Freedom by W. L. MacKenzie
An Atlas of Human Geography
is a book of Maps, Charts, Graphs.
and Diagrams which have been
combined with significant writing
by an author whose social, poli
tical, and technical background
makes her expert in presenting es
sential facts with scientific ac-‘
curacy through the medium of her
own profession, cartography. The
author’s topics are wide, and the
scope of her coverage is broad.
Into one volume, Miss Kaichman
has put a great wealth of mater
ial relating to the international
problem as a whole.
On his book, Native Peoples of
the Pacific World. Dr. Keesing has
made an intensive study of the
diverse peoples scattered among
the thousands of islands of this
great area. World War 11 came
as a profound shock to them where
they live. along the frontiers of
modern civilization. Their homes
often became battlegrounds, their
quiet beaches and villages were
changed almost beyond recogni-
Itipn by American bulldozers car
ving out military bases. This book
gives an over-all picture of the
origin and history, and possible
future of the remarkable peoples
lwho are native to the islands of
the Pacific. It tells a fascinating
member of a team wearing a red
suit or a green suit. or some other
color. That is the way they call
them, and let's get behind them.

FROM 3 OLD JENNIES TO
WORLD-WIDE SFRVICE
WHEN Juan Trippe was a seventeen
year-old freshman at Yale, World War I
came along and he quit college to become
a naval aviation pilot. After the war he
went back to Yale and organized a flying
club. When he was graduated, young
Trippe set himself up as the Long Island
Airways and announced that he was pre
pared to carry passengers to definite des
tinations. Three old Army Jennies served
as his first air fleet. Trippe himself was
general manager, pilot, and most of the
time, mechanic. It wasn’t much of a busi
ness.

But Trippe, who had interested a few
“cronies”, ear-war flyers, was centered on
long-distance air operations. In 1927 their
