turned in the loose gravel and;
plunged down a five-loot embank- j
ment, pinning the men beneath it. i
Two Bremerton men were
drowned when their motorboat
tipped over as they fished in Lake

world series baseball within his
grasp.
The big righthander from Hub
bard. Ore., was signed to a Seattle
contract Friday night alter work
ing out here for a week. Manager
Jojo White said he will be tried
in relief roles before being con
sidered as a starting pitcher.
With the New York Yankees in
1947, Bevens was within one put
out of baseball immortality in a
world series game with Brooklyn.
He had walked two men in the
last of the ninth, one of them in
tentianolly, when pinch-hitter
Cookie Lavagetto connected with
a two-run double to give the
Dodgers a 2-1 victory.
The following season, Bevens
developed arm trouble, went to
Newark, was turned down by the
Chicago White Sox and then given
a chance to make a deal on his
own with a Pacific Coast league
club.
He was with Seattle in 1942. be
ing released in mid-season and

Seek to Establish
CVA In Northwest
WASHINGTON, (A*) — Legisla
tion to set up a Columbia Valley
administration for development of
the great natural resources in the
Pacific Northwest was introduced
i yesterday by Reps. Mitchell and
| Jackson, both Washington Demo
crats. '
' The bill, comprising 19 sections,
would establish the administration
as a federal corporation with
headquarters in the northwest. It
would be headed by three direc
tors drawing salaries of $17,500 a
year, two of whom would have to
be bona fide residents of the Pa
cific Northwest.
The directors appointed by the
j President would serve six-year
terms, except those first named,
on a staggered basis.
The measure would require the
CVA to seek advice, assistance
and participation of the people of
the region and their state and lo
cal governments.
It would transfer to the CVA
projects, contracts, property and
budgets of the reclamation bur
eau, the Bonneville power admin
istration and the corps of army
engineers in the Columbia Valley
with a minimum of delay after
appointment of the directors.
Most Statesiders
Lose One Hour
NEW YORK (/Pi, About 50,000,
000 Americans got cheated out of
an hour’s sleep Saturday night
with the advent of daylight sav
ings time. Most of the big cities
turned their clocks ahead one
hour at 2 a.m., Sunday.
Residents will have to wait un
til September 25 to get back their
“lost hour.” At that time, clocks
will go back an hour.
The object of daylight savings
time is to allow daytime workers
to enjoy an added hour of daylight
alter the quitting whistle. For that
reason ill is most popular in heav
ily-settled areas.
Large cities going on “fasttime”
include Portland, Me., Boston,
Providence, New York, Newark.
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti
more. Washington, Cleveland, Chi
cago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and
Portland, Ore.
Seattle waits until June to
change its clocks.
Some cities that had daylight
savings time a year ago have
j abandoned it this year. They in
clude Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Detroit, Chattanooga and Nash
ville.
Because fanners’ chores are not
i as closely hitched to the clock,
| most areas in the south, middle
I west and far west shun the fas*
! time.
Radio networks have worked
out a scheme of their own. Maior
show's will be switched ahead an
hour in the east so they will be
heard at the same time. In the
west and south, they will be re
broadcast an hour later so resi
dents of those areas can hear
.them at the usual time.
The Nome School Board held
their first meeting since the elec
tion of two new members and
; have announced that all teachers
! on the present staff will be re
tained for the coming year wfith
the exception of Mrs. George
Mohn and Mrs. Virginia Paulson.
, Ail teachers were re-appointed
but these two do no. plan to be
here.
