Disclosing these plans to the

Margaret Thompson, secretary of
the conservation league, extend
ed an invitation to Kennewick
residents to accompany the trip.
She cautioned, however, that
persons making the drive should
provide their own transportation
and camp equipment. Meals will
be available at points along the
caravan route.
A program highlighting the
need for the proposed Lewis and

would sky-rocket Washington’s
