This column had this to say in the Fri- : day, May 26, 1961 issue: “There are still many people who are disturbed over the situation anent the proposed new school building. The bond issue of $2,000,000 was put over largely on the I candy promise of matching federal funds. Now we hear the cost will be some quarter of a million dollars over the previous estimate.” Well, we did not get the matching funds promised and the newspapers announced a few days ago that new bonds may be sold to com pensate for the loss in matching funds and for the new estimate of costs for the new high school. s The state slashed $300,000 from the matching funds which had been promised by the spon sors of the local deal.

This may take the heat off those fem inine beauties who have seen romance fade- fade-fado away because of B.B. One of our forward-looking citizens is Gene Astley who was’chairman of the first organizational meeting, bf the Tri-Cities Civic Improvement Assembly and who will act in the same capacity at the subsequent meetings planned for Dec. 6, Jan. 31 and March 14. • For the information of those who may have forgotten, Astley was one of the eight candidates nominated for the city council at the last primary and just missed the election. He has a manager’s position with the General Electric Co. and is a member of the Elfun club.

He has many fine ideas about future development plans for the city. 4 4 4 During our happy Thanksgiving, time with our loved ones gathered around us, the hap piness We all felt was our expression of ap preciation of the many blessings we have rr ceived.

Homer is not only a deep thinker and an intrepid fighter for the things he } believes In; he is also an expert in public ! relations and equally well versed in the cul- ; tural needs of his community. j An unusual feature of the Moulthrop j technique is that much of his force is used I in trying to arouse the interest of the people ; of Richland in these projects which are for ■ the general good. He has a special publicity bureau set up in the tract house which is located adjacent to his home at 505 George Washington Way, completely fitted with of fice equipment and mimeographing service and he turns out hundreds of information sheets which are distributed by block chair men in residential neighborhoods. Thus he i makes direct contacts with the heads of fam- !

Many of these people were forced to build homes out of town because government regulations forced them to leave Richland be fore we were an incorporated city. They are still Richland minded and would undoubtedly vote for annexation if given the opportunity. Most, of them trade in Richland and they earn their money here. If we sit on our haunches nothing will be done about this. Wouldnl it be better to drop the “a” from haunches and follow our hunches?

For these trees Americans' will spend over $50,000,000. To decorate them families will buy around 200,000,000 new ornaments. Fire Marshal Norman R. Hayes of the Richland Safety Council this week asked that care be taken in erecting and decorating these trees. He said that if proper precautions are taken fire may be avoided. He made the following sug gestions— Trees should not be set up dose to starways because in case of fire the stairway, as an exit from upper floors might be blocked. When selecting Christmas : trees at local sales points, | choose those which appear to; be freshly cut. Feel the needles to make sure they are firmly k attached. Keep the tree out of j doors until just before Christ- mas and standing in a pail of ; ■ water so that it will remain i fresh. Trees should be set up > ■ as far as possible from heaters to reduce the chances of fire , and keep the trees from drying. Christmas tree • decorations < should be flame-proof. Use only ; decorations made of glass, metal j or fire-resistent materials. Use only electric lights to decorate trees, never candles. Lighting sets, should be checked before placing them on trees, to detect frayed wires. Lights c:_ L__ should be turned off when you are away from home.' When the needles start falling i take the tree down immediately I and discard it. Even if the tree • is still fresh plan now to dis- mantle it the day after New Years. | Fire Marshal Hayes suggests was dis- -j the iys on the sub- ards and traffic accidents.

We place him in the category of esteemed citizens. « 4« * Local advertisers have been alerted to the fact that the Richland Villager, “our own newspaper,” has a circulation larger than the circulations of all other newspapers which come into this city, including the newspaper pub lished in Kennewick. This means well over 25,000 readers. This Friday circulation, gets into the homes early in the morning when peo ple, especially the women, are preparing to do their big shopping. The Villager will help to make this one of the greatest Christmas shop ping seasons in the history of our All-America city. (SEEN and HE ARD I i 14 / i the future growth and development of Richland are coming from individual citizens or citizen groups. For illustration there is the big South side recreational development, which has been sponsored by the Southside Improvement As sociation. And more recently the idea of making Richland ? big college town. And then there is the proposed new shopping center Uptown. Another ons is the planned coliseum at the Washington Way entrance to the city. All of these are ipmortant undertakings and should have the active support of everybody, especially the people who should take the official lead. o'* When we read in tho newspapers about married couples who have observed their silver and golden wedding anniversaries if must impress us with the fact that these nice people learned how to make the adjustments necessary for successful marriages. Nowa days these young people who get wedded in their teens and expect their parents to sub sidize their marriages do not have the time nor the experience to adjust themselves and they seek early divorces. Thousands of these quick marriages have been for the purpose of escaping military service. The trend is un fortunate and does not speak well for the J The National Realty Trust of Wash ington D.C. recently purchased apart ments in Gribble Street and their bid was over the government appraisal figure. Thus big eastern financial interests have come to Richland, the All-America City. We head this week that Eastern financial money had a representative here to look over the Columbia Apartments on Jadwin Avenue at Van Giesen, known locally as the “stilts,” which have been offered for sale. We understand the government has two prices in mind, one to buy and repair, and the other to buy and tear down for removal. We doubt if these Eastern capitalists would want to buy and wreck, so, it may be assumed, that if they do purchase the 220 apartments it . will be to remodel and rent. While many people have regarded these houses es an eye-sore, it would be uneconom ical to raze them and the city would lose more than it could gain. We need all the housing we can get. What these new owners might do would be to set aside 'about 150 of the apartments and , remodel them for retired people and make the rentals commensurate with their retirement in comes. They might even build a recreation hall for them where the old timers could have meetings, dinners and social events. And per haps a swimming pool for the occupants of all 220 apartments. Hundreds of retired people in the Tri-Cities area who do not have satisfactory home accommodations might be attracted here. They would be close to a large shopping area and these people always spend their money at home. Here is another job for the city council to take a hand in as a public service. * « » People are commenting on the fact that most of the ambitious plans and proposals for home keep to the sidewalks, do not play in the ! streets, stop, look and listen at street intersec- i future of our country. ♦ a e A correspondent asks us what happens to our thousands of school children after they leave the protection of their school boy patrols on traffic duty and are on their own away from the school areas and on the way home.

The other day we dropped in to have a chat with Duane Einan, our local morti cian. a man who knows a lot about buried hopes. Among other things he mentioned the fact that he has officiated frequently at the funerals of men who had died at the ages of 66 and 67, men who had retired at age 65 and had these brief survivals. Men who lead active lives up to the re tirement age and then stop in their tracks, who feel that they are worthless to themselves and the world, give the appearance of sitting in the rocking chair to await the grim reaper. They lose interest in life and age beyond their years. Really, there is no excuse for this. When a man retires at 65, the very next day he should |o out and look for another job.

Let’s hope Richland gets a better share out of the deal this time. Here is a ticklish one we have been asked to answer. A correspondent sends in this: “I have been told that when a man divorces his wife he can be held responsible for any child bom 11 months after the divorce date. Is that true?” Our attorney gave us the information that the Supreme Court in this state in a de cision on such a case gave 384 days as the presumption of parenthood. • # . . ft , Who is responsible for pavement repairs on the George Washington Way bridge over the Yakima. Better take a look, boss. A budding politician told us recently that when he addressed an audience of 200 men a few days ago he felt that he was talking over their heads.

That means that in five years the present scattered hospital layout will be replaced by a new and modern hospital. A new power plant which will cost $150,000 is also to be added and it is expected that this will be built and financed by the Atomic Energy Commission. A few weeks ago in this column it* was mentioned that the present surgery section of the hospital had become inadequate and that a new section was planned, which would have more space and better facilities. Tn view of the new five-year plan, the new surgery idea has been dropped. T'.iere have been times when the Kadlec Methodist Hospital has been so crowded with patients that it has been necessary to have overflow cots on the corridors. This is always i true during epidemics, like the present run I of influenza (flu). The present hospital buildings have out lived their usefulness and another five years will give them a real run-down condition.

In the first thinking we must realize that getting a big college is a “plum” and that many other cities win be planning lobbies to contact the legislature, where the decision will be made. Such cities as Spokane, Vancou ver, Wenatchee, Bellingham, Yakima, to men tion a few, already are making their moves. Several of these cities can probably offer ad vantages which we lack. What to do to meet that type of comeptition? We must recognize (hat politics will be involved. We have a united local legislative unit in favor, led by Senator Mike McCormack. The city council appears to be lukewarm. We need the united backing of everybody and every organization. Split support will be nega tive support. What should be realized by everybody is > the fact this can not be a quick development. Our efforts and plans should be paced accord ingly. Wc are thankful to a fired-up citizens committee which has sponsored this cultural project, and we must depend upon these people to carry on vigorously with inspired leadership. # Maury Kirkpatrick, realtor, is another one of our forward looking citizens who sees a big future for Richland as a recreational and cultural community. “Recent developments,” hp says, “point in that direction. The proposed Southside recreational project with hotel and waterfront development signalizes such a fu ture advancement. The proposal for a big col lege here is a similar indication of what is going on in the minds of our interested citi zens. All of us should support these promo tions as individuals and groups by personal participation in such projects, and financially whenever possible.” * ♦ ♦ City Clerk Carl Kruegel has visited all the local fire stations to indoctrinate firemen in the business of registering voters. This is an other type of volunteer work in which our firemen engage each year. In this connection remember that January 13 is the last date to register for the coming primary and Feb. 13 the last date for registering for the election. You can visit any firehouse in Richland for this service. Hosannas to our versatile fire fighters. We heard about a local neighborhood squabble which could be heard a block away. The wife wanted the house temperature at 80 degrees and the husband insisted on 70. So . husband made it hot for her. Tempers can rise by degrees, it seems. “Worst Aid” is when the person giving it doesn’t know beans about “First Aid.” » * ♦ Morticians have a “special customer” list which contains the names of motorists who take chances. We join with others in congratulating Bob Phillip, who has been named top-notch Kiwan- ian for the year 1961. The honor was well de served by a business man who has implemented the Kiwanis “We Build” platform with a real interest in its aims, and an active participation in its diversified community projects. Hail fellow, well met. * By not wearing hats Richland men are cutting down their “over-head” expenses and ihey also are catching colds. So, cough up and buy a hat. Be your age. * ❖ * In connection with the 1962 Water Follies, it is Richland’s turn to have the big annual parade, and also to build the Tri-Cities Float. Pasco and Kennewick have each sponsored and built the Tri-Cities Float and paid the expenses for its various trips to the Seattle Seafair and other cities which have annual parades and events. If we fail to uphold our Th year 1961 continued another record ip that there were no fatalities in Richland due to motor accidents, and involving motorists or pedestrians. Much of the credit for this goes to the Richland Safety Council and the Richland Police Traffic Division for their safety education programs, and, of course to Richland people who have become safety- minded. A Delafield housewife tells us that when she returned from a neighborhood shopping the other day she found a strange man in the house. He ran out the back door and across her yard. She had left the rear door un locked, which is an invitation to any prowler. Keep all your doors locked even when you’re in the house, for your own protection. Don’t be careless about this, please. * * * Radio Station KALE will open a branch in Richland in the store which has been added to the Roy Davis Furniture Co. building on Gocthals Drive.

Both are interested in major- projects also to build Richland ,as a recreational center in the Northwest. They have devoted unnumbered hours of their time to these important promo tions, which appear to have the backing of a great- majority of Richland voters. The great Southside hotel and recreational project' is about ready to start, and a big college located here would add to the cultural advantages which. belong in an All-America city. It takes men of. vision and strong leadership to plan and point the way to such high attainments. $ * $ Many of us have been disturbed over the fact that Richland is not on a state high way, which in many ways, is and has been a disadvantage to us. You have heard the old observation "If you cannot beat 'em, join 'em." So if we cannot get a state highway through Richland, put Richland on a state highway. It is as easy as that. Annex the Richland "Y" district and we will be on High way 410. We have urged this before. Here is a golden opportunity for a member of the City Council to make the first move. ■:« >:< >:= Lee Clarkson, principal of the Lewis and f Clark school, has a very fine personality, and everybody who knows him esteems him, to put : it succinctly. Lee has a twin sister living in Kansas and it is a tradition in the family to treat their { friends with a birthday cake on each annivers- j ary. Last Friday at the Lewis and Clark school, the teachers were recipients of this delectation, , thanks to the baking artistry of Mrs. Clarkson.’ * The other night Clarkson was functioning ! as state chairman of the Elks Leadership Com- ; mittee, a national project of the BPOE, which sponsors city, state and national contests , for scholarships awarded to high school students. . Among honors he has received was the ! Oak Cluster Pin from the Parent Teachers As- . sociation for his exceptional interest in and for the youth of the community. As an active member of the Richland Ki- wanis Club our popular school principal was chairman of the Library Fountain project, Ki- wanis sponsored, and through his efforts rocks from every section of the United States were, sent here to be used in building the fountain. Lee personally polished the rocks. He’s ver satile. t . Clarkson is a member of three educational organizations, the Yakima Valley, Washington State and National Principals Associations. ‘ « «• Women are not too much bothered by the prices charged for the new style skirts—g it's the upcreep. Many people wonder why Richland has not had one real applicant from a heavy or small industrial plant to locate here. Well, the other day you probably saw in the newspapers an authorized story from the Kennewick Port Commission that during 1961 that city hadn’t had even a "bite” from a new industry although contacts had been made with several all over the coun try—and Kennewick has everything to offer in the way of locations, railroad and port facilities. We should face these facts squarely to explain why we are not in a position to com pete with Pasco and Kennewick for quick in dustrial development. (1) We do not have any through railroad facilities which heavy industry looks for when they seek new locations for their expanding plants. (2) We are not on a state highway to ac commodate mobile freightways. (3) We have no port facilities which heavy industries could use for river transportation. (4) We do not have an open labor market and may assume that AEC and General Elec- trie might not like the present labor situa tion to be disturbed. (5) And there is the housing situation. SO — before we can hope to attract new i industries our officials must work on correct- i ing the above “disadvantages” which stare us ! in the eye. Let’s face the facts and- openly. , * * ' Over the two recent holiday‘ week - ends : more than 1,000 people were killed in automo bile accidents. One way to get rid of reckless • drivers is to kill them off, and we are doing | this at a rate of 500 every week in the year. I But these reckless drivers also killed hundreds of innocent pedestrians, men. women and chil dren, as well as their car occupants, members of their own families.

The Pasco post has been go ing through sen'ious financial troubles caused by the move which was made after the fire which destroyed its building, and these difficulties have been well-aired in the newspapers. The Richland post lost its fine building a few years ago partly as a result of the same causes. Some officials say there does ’ not seem to be any middle ground on which three Tri-Cit- ies legion posts could meet for an amalgamation. Each city would want to be the meeting place of the combined group, and each city would want to have the office of commander, unless a rotating system were devised. It does not seem likely that this proposal will ever be accepted by the three posts, yet there is talk, several persons have informed the Villager. * The recent mid-winter con ference of the Veterans of For eign Wai’s at Moses Lake was at tended by the following Rich land post and auxiliary mem bers — Commander and Mrs. Lester Sweetin, Past Command er Marvin and Mrs. McDonald District Commander and Mrs. C.

"If you follow any motorist any day of the week that he or she drives a car on the streets of Richland, you will see him ( or her) break one or more traffic regulations/'-he re marked. This applies to the ordinary, law-abiding ; citizen, the individual who is an average, care- • ful driver and in most eases isn’t aware of his infractions. One of the constant violations is in the : school areas where a 20-mile speed is desig- naled by signs along the streets involved. Most - I people (including you) average 30 to 35 miles ! in these ‘areas. Police clocked records prove i this. Another constant violation is failure to ■ come to a complete stop at stop signs, as the law requires. Most drivers slow down only and . keep moving ahead. Other flagrant violations are failure to give "right of way", driving too close, jump ing yellow lights, failure io give proper sig- ; nals at turns, improper parking, and exceed ing speed limits on most of the city streets. / We all do it at some time or other. Let's be more careful in the‘ future. * v # These local folks who have been criticising the governor for his appointment of a Kenne- ! wick man to head the State Commerce Depart- j ment, apparently haven’t been looking through ; “Rose”-tinted glasses.

We came from every state in the union and we brought to this area the best ideas from every section of the country. We put them to work during the intervening years. We enlivened and built up an area that had become stagnant, so to speak, earned the modem sobriquet of All-America City. A pro digious attainment, if we do modestly admit it. With all the big ideas we brought along with us it is natural that we sometimes clash on, for instance, such a subject of the best • way to get a college located here. The group that has been devoted to future industrial de< velopment is nettled by the militant methods of the cultural advocates.

All the inside partitions are in place and craftsmen are busy with the electrical, plumb ing, heating and other services. Architect Bob Ohashi is well satisfied with the progress of the work. When the new clinic is in operation it will clinch the title of the “Leading Medical’ Center of Eastern Washington” for Richland. Richland doctors and surgeons will own and operate the new clinic. We look forward to its official dedication. The name “Wannawish” which has been taken by the group that purchased and is de veloping the 37-acre tract in the Uptown district means “Rock Dam Fishing Place” and comes from the Wanapum-Indian tongue.

The face lifting has been brightened by a new and extensive lighting system on this front also. One of the facts brought out by the League of Women Voters in its recent report on the business situation in Richland its future econom ic needs was the relatively high plant wages paid at the Hanford project which might be classified prohibitive to industries which might consider locating here. Which emphasizes to us the value of our General Electric Company payroll of $56,000,000 as this money flows through the pockets of our residents and pays taxes. We would be in a still better position if the $29,000,000 of this payroll money were spent here instead of out of town. * « $ « • « * Bob Carriger from Florida is in town on a business visit.

One thing that should be noted is the fact that active campaigning and newspaper advertising paid off, especially in the cases zof Dr. DeMerrit and Harry Kramer. You cannot hide under a bushel when you seek public office. There was not too wide a variance in the ’ votes cast for the four positions on the ballot, any difference being due, no doubt, to the prominence of candidates involved.

What can be done about it. Most of them come from out-of-town solicitors who apparently are taking this meth od of commercial trading rather than pay the local permit fees for house-to-house calls. In several cases where householders have asked for the names and telephone numbers of the solicitors, the callers just shut off without giv ing the information. This is one of the by-pro ducts of the Tri-Cities area telephone courtesy which eliminated the 10-cent toll charge be tween the cities. Innovations al way have their pros and cons. The Kadlec Methodist Hospital Auxiliary under the presidency of Mrs. J. J. Tagen gives an exemplary example of what dedi cated women can do in service to others. These ladies give hours of their time to a®- ' wiciated hospital duties and are on call day and night for special services. Mrs. Tagen herself hat an enviable record an a civic- the store bulletin board. It related to,the sub ject of store clerks and the courteous treat ment of customers, and how such employes/can be assets to a business.

[SEEN and HEARD i t v We HEAR (be important news that, a five-year plan for the Kadlec Methodist Hospital contemplates an expenditure close to $3.000;000 for new buildings and facilities. No official release has been given about this but we all appreciate the fact that such an expansion has been needed for some time. The project will probably include a modern hospital building to take the place of the pres ent scattered sei of buildings, some of the old '• war-time buildings will disappear and the new faciltie’s will meet the demands of a growing city. These, with our present, privately-owned and operated Medical Arts and Dental build ings, and the new Richland Clinic, now nearing completion, will truly make Richland (he largest medical center in Southeastern Washington. * « * I . 1 Apartments Are Nearly Completed The new Sunland Apartments at 1309 and 1311 Goethals Drive are nearing completion and probably will be ready for pub lic inspection by June 15, Rich land realtor Maury Kirkpatrick announced yesterday. The two apartment buildings contain 16 apartments practic ally with the same square foot age as the average ranch house. The living rooms measure 13 by 20 feet, have fire place and wood paneling, and most of the rooms will have wall-to- wall carpeting. There will be two large bedrooms, a 10 by 12- dining area, an 8 by 15 covered patio, a 10 by 12 kitchen, wall-to-wall wardrobe closets, garbage disposals, hall space for washing machines and driers in each, separate apart ment. t Between the two buildings will be a water spray fountain with colored lights, and attrac tive landscaping. Each apart ment will also have its individ- u?.l carport. Purpose of the owners is to sell the apartments rather than rent them. Purchasers may select .their cwn colors for the interior decor, and the occu pants will have the tax benefits that go with home owners. About 30 inquiries. already have been received f?om prospective buyers. If all the apartments are completely sold, it is planned' lo erect similar apart ment buildings later. neers 17, Firefighters 1052, Welders 541, and Sign and Pictorial Painters 1777. The above is in answer to a query from a Blue Avenue resident. We might add that • these union groups are among the best in-the • United States, and they have never had a strike ■ against the Hanford plant. f I \ • . A local speaker said the other night that you can almost tell the type of person driving a car if you follow him in your own car and watch his methods. He mentioned that, a care ful driver is a convervative. A fast driver is a man usually irresponsible and unreliable. An erratic driver needs his head examined. We tried this one day and followed a young, woman . driver and had no trouble classifying her. We noted "RAH” on her license plate and knew right away that She must be a cheer leader. « ■ ' »x . Next week — April 1-7 Is the Annual Clean-Up project. For HEALTH, gather and haul away that accumulation of trash and rubbish from attics, •. basements and closets.

Getting new in dustries is a science in itself and has to be handled by men trained for it. tf. » Our All America City is fortunate In the character of the men who make up its police force. They rate higher than the average in our municipalities. Today a man has to have a good educational background to even pass an exam ination fpr the police force. When he makes it he is trained in scientific police methods, public relations, criminal law and criminology, psy chology and the public statutes. To select a typical example of the modern police- officer, meet Capt. Thomas J. McGuire, a public ser vant who is a credit to his chosen line of work, and who in addition is an active participant in community activities, as a citizen. In addition to being a vigorous force in the religious and social life of his church, he.is’ one of the leaders in the projects of the local Toastmasters clubs, serves on the youth committee of the Richland Kiwanis club, and never fails to respond to any calls made upon him in community drives and services.

The interim Committee on Educa tion from the Washington State Legisla ture will visit our All-America city and will study the situation here with refer ence to its potentials to qualify as a fu ture college site. Everybody should be interested in this, especially our city officials, all of whom have gone on record in favor of such an important project. This can become a live issue if all of us cooperate—the City Council, the Chamber of Commerce, other organizations and the sponsoring college group. All should work to gether. Senator Mike McCormack, who envisions Richland as a future education and cultural center, will host the visiting interim commit tee. members of which will look over the North Richland area and the Hanford Laboratories. Keep your fingers crossed. ♦ * • May w« pay our respects today to talented and versatile lady who since 1943 has contributed ideas and services to th®’ community of Richland. Mrs. Mine Miller of 515 Jadwin Ave. Goethals) early in the Hanford days wrote the women's page in the Dupont publica tion, and her articles are also in the Dupont history of the project. In recent years she has been prominent in musical affairs. Sb© is a charter member of the Richland Light Opera Company and was producer of its re cent offering "The King And I". She had singing roles in several other opera presen- I tations. Mrs. Miller is • singing member of I the Central United Protestant Church choir under the direction of Sidney Irving. She is a former president and director of the Beta Sigma Phi sororiety and has been identified with many other community services and civic projects. There is a little Miss Miller, I aged seven, who may blossom out into a I singing star like her charming mother. Mrs. Miller is the wife of Blake Miller, the in- I surance executive.

In all. 10 police officers were on the scene. At the same time police cars sealed off all exits from the city. The police do a thorough job even if.it happens to be a false alarm. t ♦ ♦ An unusual accident was caused here a few days ago when a woman driver steered her car over a sidewalk and through a hedge.

As they are moved up through the chairs they rarely de velop into leadership material, and so incom petent people are put into the top jobs.

For instance, a 200-bed hospital at $15,000 per bed would cost $3,000,000. That price includes all instal lations. The cost per bed depends, of course, on what kind of a modern hospital you have in mind. Richland needs a new hospital and has a’ five-year plan in mind.

' . “We HEARD,” addressing the two realtors, “that when all the cooperatives are signed up, you gentlemen have plans made to build two mor? eight-apartment units on abutting land you own.” “That is true,” replied Maury, with his cus tomary smile. “This city has a great future ahead of it and will continue to grow. We will be in step with this. There will be a real demand for housing of the type we are developing.” Thus we verified what we had HEARD. * « ♦ Our Richland Fire Department knows how to practice good public relations as illustrated by this true story. The other day a woman liv ing in the north end of town started on a shop ping trip. She had gone only one block when smoke enveloped her car. It was on fire. She asked a woman neighbor to call the Fire De partment. We do not know that the message' was to the fire station, but two pieces of ap paratus and an ambulance responded. After the fire was extinguished the woman apologized to one of the firemen for all the trouble she had caused. “Don't mention it, Madam. That’s what we are here for. Never take any chances. Call us when you need, us.” We repeat, good public relations action. # * * May we introduce to you in thi’s column an important man who came to Richland recently.

The answer is that men who are not busy are seldom called upon to do this. The busy man knows how, A typical example for today's SEEN AND HEARD file is the popular Ray R.

A major share of the credit for the fine traffic safety record established here over the years goes to these dedicated public servants, and to the other members of the department who enforce the traffic laws and ordinances. < ft ft Of the 8,500 employes of the General Elec tric Co., some 3,000 live out of town, especially in Kennewick and Pasco. Many of them want to move back here to save their daily .travel time and costs. The home building activity -here is helping this movement of families to Richland, recording a gradual. increase in our population. We told you last week about a new bank being organized in Richland, and it will be home owned and not a branch of an out of town institution. This bank will have a state charter which will enable it to do types of Ioan business not permitted by banks with national charters, such as the Seatlie-First National and the National Bank of Commerce. The question has been asked. “Can Rich land support three banks? Well, Pasco with 14,000 population has three banks and Richland has 25,000 residents —so there. However banks are not apportioned on population bases. The number of industries and the commercial interests have weight when charters are granted. Organizers of the new bank have already visited a large number of local merchants for the sale of stock. Many are in on the ground floor already. Our thanks goes to Brian Morgan of the Columbia Basin News for his interesting special articles on the Seattle World’s Fair.

Do not let oily rags accumulate, and remove sawdust and wood ’ shavings promptly. “For getting off the old paint, scraping, hand and ma chine sanding and the use of non-flammable removers are ! safest. If flammable liquids must be used, work should be done in the open air. “While painting boat inter iors or working in an enclosed area, provide good ventilation.

Fuller, real eslate officer, was read: “Your letter to the Washing ton Committee on Industrial De velopment contained a recom mendation that the CAP air port not be sold by the govern ment for at least two years, pending other developments in that general vicinity. “MR. SLATON, chairman of the committee, discussed the subject with us. The question of whether the tract can be used for a gravel pit will depend on the zoning of the area by the City of Richland. We un derstand that the City Planning Commission presently is study ing the problem of gravel pits in general and ultimately will make recommendations to the City Council which may affect the airport land. “Since the community disposal law requires the Commission ‘o dispose of real estate expedi tiously, we cannot well justify a two-year delay in selling the CAP property. We do not plan to ask HHFA to offer the tract, however, until the subject of gravel operations has been re solved by the Planning Commis sion and the City Council.” IN THE DISCUSSION which followed about gravel pits, the hope was expressed that all of them, wherever located and by whomsoever operated and exca vated, should be put back in uniform condition at grade level so ment VlCHlM]) Vi 11 AC /3- /^j.

The coroner investigates unnatural deaths. Included in this category were persons killed in automobile accidents up io this year, but the law was changed so that now persons killed in accidents are classified as "natural" deaths. That's something you probably didn't know about. There are exceptions to this rule. For instance if you arrange to have your wife or mother-in-law driven over a cliff and murder is suspected, the coroner and his jury will step in and make the in vestigation and findings.

Ideal weather conditions assisted material ly also in making all the various features of the follies available to large and appreciative crowds; Bill Watts is a versatile character whose experience in big event management has put him in the major league class. He produces volts as well as Watts. To date Congresswoman Catherine May has no political opposition. Perhaps it is because other candidates refuse to run against an Au gust person. ft © © Anybody who does not know Homer Moub fhrop personally and who reads his fine Crack er-Barrel Comments in The Villager can easily visualize him as an erudite personality. He has real insight when it comes to diagnosing. the needs of Richland and its development pattern, and his method of expression is scholarly and effective. « « e A Pullen Street householder had his family on the carpet the other day. He charged that some member of the family had been fishing his pocket for small change. All pleaded not guilty. Finally the wife solved the case.

We HEAR that first plans have been drawn for the proposed Eye, Ear and Nose Clinic to be located at the corner.of Swift Boulevard and Stevens Drive, a new medical development ex clusively reported in this column in our June 15 issue. •■•W ■ Dropped Info the Benton Port District office the other day and talked with Manager Dean Albee. Looking over the maps on the office wall noticed that West Richland was included in the area claimed by the Port of Kennewick. How come? This grab apparent ly happened before the Benton Port District section to watch reaction of pedestrians on the light changes. {Saw several women start across on the green light, not looking to right or left, with the apparent attitude of “I have the right of way, so why look?” There might be a fast driver, or a drunken driver, or a careless driver who would go through a red light. Soooo! It pays to glance left and right even when you have the “GO.” Always watch the other fellow. Many people have been killed at intersections. We wore checking on parking patterns of shoppers in the Uptown business district the other day, during a lull tn our Roving. One of th© strange things that developed (perhaps not so strange) was the habit many shoppers have of parking in front of one store and shopping there and then instead of walk ing half a block to another store, they first move their cars these short distances. We saw one shopper make four such car moves. People will just not walk any more. No wonder w® are getting soft.

In the process of getting settled Dad called the family together in the living room to assign the different room? to members. After all the allotments were decided upon it wag discovered that Mother hadn*t been given a room which she could call her own. Oply the kitchen was left and she drew that. Wouldn't you know it Outside capital continues to flow into Richland to augment our unprecedented growth in the residential areas. Two new five-apartment buildings are rising on George Washington Way be tween Newcomer and McMurray streets, and behind them on what will be Hoxie Street . extension nine new ranch-type houses have taken shape and will be completed soon. Large crews of workers have been engaged, with bull dozers raising clouds of dust, the entire job ap parently tagged with a “rush” order. The apartment houses h$ve a pre-cut en semble, with a big derrick lifting into place the inside partitions with speed and precision. Recept figures published indicate that Rich land leads in Tri-Cities new housing as the popu lation “move back” to the All American City continues. The tax base grows with these de velopments- Locating the Follies parade in Columbia Park was more or less of an experiment We believe parades should be run for the publie and where people are — in a city where the crowds can be four times a? large and all can see everything without inconvenience. The mo tor traffic jam at the park was certainly an inconvenience to the 6000 people who attended. More than 20,000 could have seen it better in Pasco, Kennewick or Richland. Of course th® m^jn reason for holding it at the park was to attract people there who would patronize the midway and the concessions. There will be ar guments on both sides. When there Is a slack business how can it be good. Looks like a paradox. Well a Rich land merchant solved this situation last week when he ran a big sale on slacks. His slack business was good. © © © Saw a wedding announcement in the papers the other day which was headed —‘ Holden- Hands.

Richland, receiving another national citation for its traffic safety record, should be especially proud of the fact because the latest official national traffic death record for the first six months of 1962 shows an all-time high for the period, and pre liminary reports indicate that accidental deaths in all other cate gories — at work, at home, and in public places — also will show increases in the first half of the year. The local record is due in no small measure to the. all-year safety education programs of the Richland Safety Council, the Richland Police Department and Richland Fire Department, as other organizations which put on safety projects of their own and which have active safety committees and programs. The nation’s motor vehicle death toll for the first half of 1962 was 18,120 which includes passengers in cars as well as pedes trians, a 7 per cent - increase. If the present trend continues, traffic deaths for the year could top 40,000, the first times this figure has been reached in the country’s total, President Fay Jones of the Richland Safety Council indicates. Historically traffic deaths are higher in the second half of the year than the first. President Jones adds: “This tragic waste of life can be re duced, if everyone will remember that every activity, be it at work or at play, can just as easily and enjoyably performed safely as dangerously.” 1 he added jatt'rac- ’ engineered under' ^ons of Senior Vice Com- ’ Kendrick, who °f the House grand * * * THE LOCAL 1 Richland last the. annual I ^Hingham, i | vention this s This column x j tailed report on the ....... . -2 Richland delegates at ; planning will bring Richland people into closer contact with Goodwill In dustries, the organization which , creating new jobs and new \ ! nnna fnr honrh’mrinorl | tnd whose .“sheltered work shop” idea has prepared many of these people for employment in the competitive labor mar- . ket.

At Goodwill there are three main objectives; (1) employ ment of handicapped people; (2) • wholesome work training for them; and (3) rehabilitation These objectives are achieved through the medium of discard ed articles, donated by public- spirited citizens, picked up by Goodwill trucks, unloaded, sort ed for the various workshop de- ■ partments, r e p a i r-e d, d r y- i cleaned, laundered, fumigated I and priced.

Accident^7 Facts Given Here are a collection of acci dent facts which are generally not known to the average citi zen, and which the Richland Safety Council released at its last • meeting. President Fay Jones hopes that all motorists and pe destrians will study them so that lhey. may have an awareness of the hazards that are causing ac cidents at home and on the traf- . fic lanes. Accidents cost the nation estimated $14 billion last year. Accidents of all kinds took 91,- 500 lives in 1961, with an addi tional 45 million persons injured. Home accidents last year caused a total of 26,500 deaths. THREE-FOURTHS of the mo tor vehicle deaths were in rural areas. In urban areas nearly . half "the victims of traffic acci dents’ were pedestrians. Statistics show that there is an average of 104 motor vehicle deaths each day in the year. Improper driving is the con tributing factor in most motor vehicle accidents. Death rates are sharply higher in night-time accidents. The pedestrian death toll last of male pedestrians killed was nearly three times as high as females killed.

This committee will have its first general meeting in the near future at the guest dessert and coffee supper gathering. At this meeting, assignments will be made in which other organizations can plan impor tant parts in the mam project, or arrange to have their own corollary projects during the specified week. Manager Jim Blair of the Chamber of Commerce announ ced that his organization had | ordered several thousand Fire Prevention Week posters, fliers, i and booklets from the National Fire Prevention Association which would be distributed in the schools, business places and the homes. This work will be done by members of the Fire Department. I Morgan Named '62 Chairman Of Fire Week Harold G.

Chief Pat Quane announced that he was attending a work shop convention in California on fire prevention, and that he would swap ideas with scores of other fire department officials he would meet there. FIRE MARSHAL John Ward hoped that in this year’s Fire Prevention Week program an important event would be the city-wide evacuation of homes under simulated fire conditions on the evening of Oct. 6 when Richland firemen in apparatus with sirens sounding would cover all neighborhoods at 6:30 o’clock and that all household ers will be asked to participate and have fire drills executed from their homes. Ward,stated also that Rich land has received many letters from sities in the United States and Canada, asking for informa tion about the - Richland Fire Prevention Week programs and that many of the ideas trans mitted to the cities have been copied and used. During the October week, special demonstrations will be given at all Richland schools by the Fire Department in which the use of fire-fighting methods will be shown and there also will be fire drills executed by the school prin cipals.

It re quires training, deep interest and understand ing on the part of those who do this in such a specialized field. Here is an Orchard that, bears good fruit. Have you trained your family on how to escape from your home if it happens to be on fire? The folks who do this probably will be able to save their loved ones in such an emer gency. Those who think or say "this would not happen to us” will probably pay the piper. Organized fire drills in the home could pre vent panic because all members of the family would know what to do when fire strikes, es pecially in the night Remember this — when fire strikes in the home it is usually the chil dren who lose their lives.

This is a professional crew of trained staff members who will conduct a two - hour class in which there will be instruction and discussion of all subjects relating to the organization and management of veterans posts, and how their membership drives and community projects should be planned and execut ed. All post members who may be interested are also invited to attend, especially subordin ate post officers.

I No two homes are architecturally alike although all have basements, one to two bathrooms, fire places, built-in ovens and ranges, several with brick trimmings. Most of the people moving into these new homes are from Richland and attend the Mormon church. Others have moved here from Pasco and Kennewick, marking the re turn of former Richland families who were forced to move out because they did not have priorities when the government owned houses were sold. Sales are being handled by Sherwood & | Roberts, Inc. i next Monday, Sept. 3. That’s Labor Day, and locally we can pay ■ our respects to all the organized labor groups which are represented in the Hanford Atomic Metal Trades Council. These labor leaders and the men they rep resent have a record second to none in the United States. There has never been a strike on this important government facility, since its initial operation. The men and women who work here are fine people, patriotic citizens and are the bone and sinew of a proud community. They are church-going and God-fearing. They support our institutions, our schools and our merchants. Where would we be without them? Let’s not forget that COMMANDER U. LESTER Sweetin of Cook-Erickson Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, also will sound the tocsin at the Monday night, Sept. 10 meeting of his post. The membership drive will be spearheaded by Senior Vice Commander Wil liam Kendrick. Special citations and awards will be set up by the state department for mem bers who sign up new members or renewals. The Marine Corps League will have a special membership drive this year with the hope of doubling its memberships. Similar drives are being planned by the VFW, Legion and Marine Corps auxiliaries which will have special commit tees appointed for action. All veterans living in Rich land or Greater Richland are eligible to join these veterans’ organizations and are advised to do so. Each of these units has service officers who are quali fied to protect the interests of veterans.
