A happy note to pass along is
that I did observe workmen put
ting a curb and sidewalk in front
of Safeway and the buildings
adjacent to it on Avenue C. As
quickly as agreements can be
reached with other merchants of
the avenue, workers said, more
curbing and sidewalk will be
built. -

Street improvement on Avenue
C has not progressed with a ra
pidity sufficient to 'cause aston
ishment to casual onlookers.
Truthfully, it can be said, some
residents have been so uncharit
able as to intimate that it has
lagged. .- . ‘
t t It i 0
But it is to the great self
interest of all of us that it has
started.
##OQO
The reason? Simply that hun
dreds of cars move the length of
Avenue C every day carrying peo
ple who know nothing of our
town, save that which they see
as they pass through on the
highway.
at a: at 4- t 7
It is not uncommon for travel
ers to comment that they have
not passed through Kennewick,
when actually they have driven
the Length of Avenue C.
Let us not keep them in the
position of the fabled Goofus
bird, that ﬂew backward, caring
not where he was going, but hop
ing that he would be able to find
out vile? he had been.
It involves an agreement on the
part of all of us that Avenue C
must be made into the sort of
locality we want our town to be
an attractive center luring travel
er: Eask‘for another visit.
One of the foremost require
ments in attaining such an ob
jective should be to properly
mark the entrance to the city.
Signs, proclaiming Kennewick as
the home of the Grape Festival,
should be erected at either city
limit.
Itl t t
Other signs are needed along
the length of the Avenue C busi
ness district, informing the pass
ers-through that the business dis
tristfgntinues across the tracks.
Surely this is an objective upon
which the merchants of the town
could find agreement. It isn’t a
matter of up-town Kennewick or
down-town Kiennewick— it’s a
matter of one single, united town
making a. bid for its future.
Merchants and business people
of the city would do well, in my
opinion, to quell their intra-com
munity sectional interests toward
the common good. And I mean
both up-town and down-town
business people, if you’ll permit
the sx‘prfssion.
Ho\v I ever happened upon so
prosy and serious a discussion,
I can’t tell you. Except that, like
all the rest of you, I’m interested
in seeing Kennewick move ahead.
And I think it’s a matter of vital
concern that we impress every
five-minute guest we have, in the
five minutes of their driving
time through Kennewick, with
the enterprise and spirit of our
people. And that, forgive me, in
evitably leads back to improving
Avenue C.
It * Q * *
If you’ve read this far—thank
you for listening to my exposi
tion. There’s a - brilliant sunrise
ahead for Kennewick. I know it.
But, if we win it, we’ll haire to
earn it!
