POLICIES FOR
SUBSISTENCE
PLAN STATED
$50 Families to be Aided in
Securing Farm Homes; Set
tiers Not to be Restricted;
Site Not Yet Selected

Principal policies governing the
work of Washington's Subsistence
Homestead Committee were an
nounced today by Walter G. Som
mers, welfare commissioner Of the
Benton County Welfare Board, up
on receipt Of information from
this committee. Named by Govern
or Clarence d. Martin, the commit
tee is made up of e. F. Banker,
Department of Conservation and
Development; Charles F. Ernst,
State Emergency Relief Admins
tration; and Walter ]. Robinson,
State Department Of Agriculture.
The one or two projects to be
carried on will be in the nature Of
a demonstration. Approximately
$50 families will be involved. The
$500, 10000 that has been made
available to Washington for the
experiment is to be used on loan
basis to those entering into the
projects.
According to the information
we have received" said Mr.. Som
mers, "there are these two princi-
pal policies that will guide the
committee in the selection Of the
site and the people to go on the
site:
"Plans that will give subsistence
homestead assistance to those in
need of such income to supplement
their part-time employment which
they may now have in a city OF
town; and plans that will give
subsistence homestead assistance
to those who are stranded in rural
or industrial groups"
The plan of selection of FAM
lilies has not been determined and
there are other details to be work
ed out.
The Benton County Welfare
Board will serve as the local infor-
nation center on subsistence
homesteads.
Families TO go on the project
will not be restricted to those on
relief lists, so Mr.. Sommers point
ed out that all interested families
should have no hesitancy in maxi
ing inquiries at the county well
fare board office.
At the present time, Professor
Rex Willard, agricultural acono-
mist of the Washington State Col
lege, Pullman, is making a study
of suggested sites and plans. Later
the committee will work with the
professor in the selection Of the
site.

YAKIMA SEWER
is NOT WANTED
BY KENNEWICK
City Objects to River Con-
tamination; State Seeking
Information on Cost of the
Street Lighting System

The Kennewick city council add
ed its protest to that of the other
Yakima valley towns against the
city of Yakima using the river as
a sewage, disposal. Feeling that
contamination cannot be avoided
as long as the untreated sewage
is permitted, several of the towns
along the river have endorsed a
resolution urging the city of Yak
ina to install sewage disposal
plant.
A QUESTIONABLE from the state
asking for information on Kenne-
wick's street lighting system,
rates and efficiency was received
with the information that a COM
prehensive survey was being COM
Quoted thruout the state with the
ultimate aim of making uniform
conditions.
A change in the ordinance au-
thorizing bond issue for relief
work was given its first and Sec
ond readings at the city council
meeting Tuesday night. An effort
will be made to save the funds for
the labor secured from the feder-
al funds rather than the state. The
per hour rate is fifty cents for the
federal work, instead of the thir-
ty cents as allowed from the
state funds.

Auxiliary Membership
Drive Now Under Way

The Robert w. Ely Unit Auxil-
larry American Legion gives us an
idea of work in the membership
drive now being held.
Rapid re-enrollment of the pres
ent members of Robert w. Ely
unit of the American Legion Aux
iliary for 1884 was reported today
by Mrs. Don Thompson, the units
membership chairman. She ex-
pressed confidence that the unit
would have its entire membership
re-enlisted before January 1 and
win the national citation offered
for this achievement. Our member
ship of SO must be in by December
Is in order to gain this citation.
Increased interest in the work
of the auxiliary is apparent among
the women of Kennewick," said
Mrs. O'Hearn. "The members Of
our membership teams are meet
ing response to their appeal to re-
enroll for the coming year. A num-
Der of former members are COM
ing back into the Unit for 1884,
and other eligible women who have
never been members are making
application for membership"
Mrs. Anderson, Dept. President,
attributed the increased interest
in auxiliary to the growing i'm
portance of the organizations SER
vice in civic and patriotic fields.
Working with The American Le-
gion, the Auxiliary has become
national force for the betterment
of conditions for the disabled vet
Grams and their families, for pro-
motion of national security thru
reasonable defensive preparations
and for stimulation of loyalty to
American ideals and institutions.
1t also has taken a prominent part
in relief activities throughout the
country.
'The program for the coming
year calls for continuance of these
activities" Mrs. o. X. Jones, the
local president, explained. "We
hope that all wives, mothers, sis
tiers and daughters of World War
veterans will come into the auxil-
larry and help us expand our work
to meet the greatly increased
needs"

Apple City is a bustling commun-

the price of asparagus is here. AS
a result of the increased apple

even republicans admit that the

YOUNG DEMOS
WANT WOMEN
OFF THE JOB
Score Republican Inability to
Cooperate with Administra-
ton; Seek Jobs Only for
Democrats

Attacking the employment of
wives on government projects
where other unemployed persons
could be used, the re-organized
Kennewick Young Mems Demo-
cratic club went on record last
night in favor of equal recognition
for younger men with older men
and taxpayers when persons are
selected on public works projects.
President Roosevelt's policies
and the national administration
were lauded, while critics of the
President and his methods were
attacked as being .suntimely and
unpatriotic." The club deplored
the inability of many republicans
to cooperate with the administra-
ton in times Of national emery
ency.
Rugged individualists" were
scored as obstructists of progress
and criticism by large corpora
tions and invested interests were
branded as ruthless and unwise.
The club adopted a resolution
calling for the appointment Of
democrats to state and federal
posts. Government officials who
have not worked with state and
county central committees were
attacked by the club.
Newly elected officers include,
President, Don Visger; vice presi-
dent, Vance Holcomb; secretary,
B. r. Masters; treasurer, Roy SAT-
ford; sergeant, Eldon Galloway.
Art Carpenter, Dan Putnam, Cord
on Rude and John Bleichner were
added to the executive controlling
committee.
The former president, Ted
Flesher, received thanks in the
form of resolution for his able
administration in the past.

Sermon topic: "St. John the
Baptist, our example relative to
the Truth"
Text: aAnd he confessed, Am !
not the Christ p"
Meditation: 1. John simply told
the truth and nothing but the
truth. It is to encourage truthful
ness that the Church offers for our
contemplation this portion of the
Gospel just quoted.
II. There is nothing so ennobling
in man as truth; nothing brings
man so close to God as truth and
the practice thereof.
III. The note which distinguishes,
man from all other of Gods crea-
lures, is the image Of God which
he bears in his soul-God is truth.
Nv. A lie is directly opposed to
the virtue of truth; and, there is
nothing in human conduct so des-
picable as a lie. OF all the faults
Of man, lie is one of the most
unmanly Of them all; because, by
it, we in a certain sense apostatize
from our manhood. Why? Because,
We degrade our reason, that makes
Us men. Instead of using this Cod
gwen faculty for a good and salu-
tary end, man often attempts to
disturb the right order of God by
bringing into being the evil of
falsehood, which is nothing else
than the abuse of reason. When
man devotes his reason to base
and unworthy purposes, he COM
mlts one of the worst crimes he is
capable of against his sublime Dig
nifty, as image-bearer of God.
V. Truth is the standard of
Cnrlst-a lie the cudgel of Satan.
Rev. Father A. Joda, Pastor.
