 Should Be RcSurf0ccd Supt. of Streets ID. J. German is of the opinion that bridge street should be resurfaced. Complaints about the condition of the street which was one of the first per manent pavements laid in the bor- ough have been numerous of late. The thoroughfare has become rough and several holes appear in the surface.
 Some residents of the borough were of the opinion that if the street was oiled and patched 1t would suffice but Supt. German states that this would not, eliminate the bad stretches as it Is hard surfaced road and oiling would do little good. To do a good job it will
 be necessary to resurface in the su-
 perintendent's opinion. This is a costly job and one that should be
 handled by the borough fathers as
 too much expense would be in-
 volved to have the street depart
 ment go ahead with the work with
 out the boards sanction.

 Watcrvillc Free from Paralysis
 The Waterville section of the city has. so far, been kept free from any cases of infantile paralysis and 1t is hoped that parents will continue to main- tain every precaution to keep the disease from developing in the community. Children in particular should be kept from any contact with those known to have had the disease since it is spread only by di- rect contact or by carriers. If children develop any symptoms of feverishness or stiffness of the neck or spine physician should be called as quickly as possible as early care is essential to success ful treatment of the disease.

Yakima Has More Harvest
Workers Than Needed

The Yakima valley, which annually
harvests from forty to fifty million
dollars worth of agricultural products,
over half Of which represents the value
of it's fruit crops, this year already has
fifty per cent more fruit workers on
the ground and waiting for the apple
season to open up than will be re-
quired to handle the crop this season,
according to an announcement by Mr..
l.. F.. Bishop, chairman of the Yakima
Chamber of Commerce committee on
unemployment. This announcement
was made in answer to inquiries which
continue to pour into the Yakima
Chamber from people throughout Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, California,
and British Columbia, who seek infor-
nation regarding the pear apple and
hop harvest and many of whom in
ldicate that in previous years they have
followed the fruit harvest and desire
to seek employment again this season
In view of the horde of fruit workers
who have already sWarmed into the
valley, only small per cent of whom
have been able to find work, those
making inquiries are urged to change
their plans and not attempt to find
work in the Yakima valley fruit har-
vest this year.

Canned Fruit to Be
Held Until Called for

Mrs. w. j. Kincaid, of the Woman's
Club committee having in charge the
distribution of jars for canning fruit
for the Washington Children's Home,
asks the Spokesman to say that it will
be much appreciated if those having
taken jars to fill will keep them in
their home cellars until called for.
The canned fruit is not to be shipped
to the Home until some time in the
fall and there is no convenient central
place to keep it until the time comes
to send it away. A call will be made
later, when the fruit may all be
brought in and it will all be barrelled
and shipped at once.

Former White Bluffs Girl
Writes of Summer Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. T. Staveley (Anne Lou
O'Larey) spent the month of August
touring Central Europe. Their trip
took them through $500 miles Of in
teresting country and they have been
sharing the pleasures of their exper-
fences, SO far as is possible through the
medium of letters and postcards, with
Mrs. Stavelys family in White Bluffs.
The following letter was received this
week.
I'VE left Tonbridge at 8 a. m. last
Wednesday, August S, and drove to
Dover, where we crossed the Channel
In a cargo boat. We lunched with
tremendous zest at Calais, since we
were two hours late owing to heavy
fog, then set off to Amiens, where we
stayed the night. The country was
very flat, which the rest of the party
found rather tedious but I always like
wide open spaces; they remind me Of
America. Still, it was all the, by now,
familiar French countryside, with the
familiar French faces.
I'VE found Amiens very full, but the

Plans Complete
for Pajama Dance

The entertainment committee of the
White Bluffs Commercial Club has
been busy this week selling tickets to
the pajama dance to be given by the
Club Saturday night of this week in
Community Hall in Hanford. AS the
proceeds are to be used for civic &C
tivities in the town and community
the purchase of tickets has been quite
general but the committee does not
want to miss sale and if there is
any one in the community who has
not been solicited and who wants to
buy a ticket he is asked to call up the
chairman, DR.. E. F. Newton, who will
see that he is Accommodated.
Plans are progressing to make the
dance a real event. The prizes that
are to be given to the best dressed
lady and man have been donated and
the three judges selected. The names
of the judges, however, are being
withheld from the public. The COM
mittee is taking this action as a pre-
cautionary measure to prevent posi-
BILE attempts at bribery.
Anyway, it looks like a big night
and big crowd.

Expects to Ship
Is Cars Produce

| A total Of IS carloads of vegetables
and melons has been shipped so fal
this season by S. Yoshinaka from his
ranch at Ringold on the east side OF
the Columbia, about nine miles south
of Hanford and he expects to ship
between SO and 60 more cars this year
according to r. v. Cummings, divis-
ion freight and passenger agent of the
Milwaukee railroad who was in the
valley Wednesday. The railroad built
a special shed at Hanford this spring
to handle the produce from the Yo-
shinaka ranch, which has TO be fer
ried across the river,
Included in the crop this year are
about 20 cars Of winter onions. There
were also some straight cars of water
melons and cantaloupes.
Mr. Yoshinaka feels very much en-
couraged with the success he has had
in his first year of farming in this
valley, both as to tonnage and returns,
and plans to increase his acreage next
year.
While the prices received this year
were not high, Mr.. YoShinaka was able
to realize a profit on most of his pro-
duce because Of his ability to get his
stuff on the market a little earlier
than the other districts.

Puncture Vine Makes
Appearance in County

According to County Agent E. G. Dur
die, puncture vine, which has become a
weed pest in Idaho just recently and
which has been a pest in California
for some time has made it's appear
ance in the valley. The plant grows
flat upon the ground, covering cir
cular area from the time that growth
starts until it may spread over an area
three or four feet across. The leaves
are like the leaf of the locust tree.
They are rather silver green. The
flower is yellow and rather small and
the seed pod is usually divided into
five sections with two sharp prongs,
pointing outward and often number
of others of shorter length growing
upward The seed-pod is the most dis
tinctive feature about this weed.
This weed is an annual and can be
controlled if people become familiar
with it before it has a chance to
spread. 1t seeds early during the sea-
son, however, and seeds will mature
even if the plant is hoed up or pulled
as soon as the seed pods appear. In
other words, the real danger from this
weed is it's early seeding habit and
the possibility of it's spread through
cultivation and irrigation water through
the seed pod as well as the menace
of the seed pod which will easily pierce
the leather of ones shoes and they
say will even puncture automobile tires.
Specimens of this weed will be on ex-
hibit during the fair and everyone is
urged to become familiar with it. The
weed has been identified so far only
from the Finley community.
