LOCAL GUARDSMEN SNOOT UP FLYING TARGETS IN TESTS Shelton national guardsmen have been shooting at plane-towed targets in field training on the Yakima firing range last week.

Now the boy friend is a I gentlenmn (growed up too, I guess). When this correct gentleman calls in the form of visitors on this very correct lady in the form of Shelton, he must not be shock- ed by the word Raih'oad Avenue. The old man in the form of us stump ranchers, etc., must be rele- gated down by the vinegar Works. Our ragged clothesand ancient vehicles will no longer be welcome :on this fancy named Boulevard, because it will no longer be dom- inated by happy smiling people, especially the ladies---rather im- l)eceable gentlemen with the still beautiful ladies ( ad Shelton al)ounds wit.h them) frowning :sternly over their breastworks at us ragged loggers, stump ranch- iers, oyster diggers, what have you ! There is" very real romance in the mere word Railroad. Witness the popularity of the song "Down By The Raih'oad Tracks" as Frank Crnmit' sang it. They can't use the parlor, can't :afford a car; now we are telling them they can't hold hands on Raih'oad kvenue, because Railroad Avenue is some kind of a fancy boulevard wlere everybody is col reel- -whatever correct is. The only objection I have to Railroad Avenue is not the name but the lights. I strongly advise the sweet young thing not to be seen on that avenue, or boule- yard, after' dark because when her face is bathed in the green glow coming from them poles she will look like a corpse of some 40 years vintage.

IT b BAC0 I remember some 50 years ago when I was a youngster there N ......... lb. 49* was a movement on foot to change the name of Arkansaw. Sponsors believed that because it was spell- ed Arkansas it should be so pro- nounced. I dimly remember my parents talking about a speech by some old egg who wound up his remarks with the words, "Change the name of Arkansaw? Hells fire no!" For my money it's still Arkan- saw! And I certainly hope it's still Railroad Avenue. If the name must change why not Ghost Alley, or Macbre Drive, :or correct those lights. Invite the merchants to doll up, light up !their shops and call it White Way. Railroad Avenue is best if it would only be possible to get hold of an expended logging locomotive and set it up some place. Let the same faces, or very like, contimm to load up on snuff.
