Let's Look Around

March began by contributing "something different" to a winter already rich with entertainment. The Kiwanis Minstrel Show, Community concerts, dramatic presentations by the Village Players, plus the annual appearance of our own Meistersingers Chorus all lent an atmosphere of culture and gaiety to our community. Education highlighted the news a P.A. Wright was appointed superintendent of schools and the Atomic Energy Commission announced that immediate financial and transportation aid would be given to the over crowded schools in six communities surrounding the Hanford Works' Area. The Village residents participated in the close-out sale of government furniture as the Prime Contractor instituted a policy of leasing all conventional type homes unfurnished. April bought the appointment of R.C. Muir as head of the newly-formed Nucleonics Department of the Gen real Electric Company with headquarters located at Hanford Works and during this month the "old" Richland actually went out of existence. As a result of this legal action the new unincorporated community of Richland actually superceded the strange ghost city that had existed only on paper since the inception of the project.
