KIWANIS CLUB
SEES SCHOOL

In lieu of q program Tuesday
noon, the members of the Kiwanis
club went to the Washington Street
school building to investigate the
report that the structure was un-
fit for school purposes. They had
been told that the building had
been condemned some years ago
and that conditions there were pos
itively dangerous.
The businessmen found that the
school was of an early-day construc-
ton, poorly arranged and badly in
need of repairs, especially as con-
Germs means of speedy egress in
case of fire. AS to whether the
building was actually structurally
unsafe none could definitely state,
although it was shown that one
man jigging up and down could
rattle the windows.
The club has appointed COM
mittee to ask the board to employ
competent engineer to test the
safety of the building before the
opning of the fall term this year
At any rate the installation of a
new fire escape will no doubt re-
ceiye attention.

American Legion
Sponsors Recreation

Much of the success Of the splen-
did recreation program now being
carried out in Benton county is due
to the whole-hearted support of the
county's American Legion in gem
eral and DR.. E. F. Newton in par
ticular. DR.. Newton, who is vice
commander for the Legion in this
state, was asked to head the recrea-
ton program by Miss Loretta o.
Malley, Benton County social serv-
ice supervisor for the SDPw and
G.. Martin Warren, district recrea-
ton supervisor at Yakima.
With his customary energy and
thoroughness DR.. Newton soon had
every Legion post on its toes to put
over the program on as large scale
as possible. The results are that
there are supervised playfields go
ing full tilt in every community in
the entire county. The Prosser
program, headed by Robert Ratliff,
recent Prosser high school gradu-
ate and now a college student, is
outstanding. One of its unusual
features is the conducting Of three
classes a week by competent band
leader, who also leads community
band concef..

Flat Tire Causes
Car to Flip-Fl0I

A car driven by Leonard Marshall
turned over end for end twice off
the highway near the Pasco-Ken-
newick bridge about $50 last
Thursday evening in an accident
that involved two cars, according to
reports made to the police.
A. A. Anderson, driver of the 9TH
er car, stated he was following a
car with a flat tire and without a
rear light, when his car was hit in
the rear by Marshall's car.
Marshall stated he attempted to
pull out and go around the slowly
moving car, but car from the OPP
posite direction would not permit.
To avoid hitting the cars, he at
tempted to get out on the soft
shoulder. His car turned over twice
and came to rest on its wheels,
headed in the opposite direction.
Both front wheels were broken and
there was considerable other dam
age. No one was scratched or In
jured, altho they were rather shak-
en- and dazed from the flip-flop
they had taken.

TOWNS
TO
START CANNERY
HanfOrd and White Bluffs to
Organize Company to Pro-
cess Surplus Crops; GET
Federal Assistance VII

If community support means any
thing, and it usually does, members
of the proposed Cooperative Can
ming Exchange in Benton County
should "go to town" in a big way,
Practically every community lead
er in the White Bluffs Hanford
sector has written a letter to Miss
Loretta O'Malley, county social SER
vice supervisor, in support of the
cannery idea as filling a real need
Further than that, merchants OF
the two towns have expressed their
willingness to subscribe to $500.0C
worth Of the preferred stock and to
handle the products that coopera-
tive members turn out. r. S. Reir-
son, proprietor of a general store
has not only agreed to serve on an
advisory board, but was largely in
strllmental with Glyn Thoreston
SDPW employee, in fostering the
progressive spirit the organizers
have shown. Other members of the
advisory board are Levi Austin
high school principal, and A. L
Brockway, who is a member of the
state apple code committee.
Organizing of the cannery COOP
erative, which has been in process
for about a month, recently reached
the point where the fifty members
elected Tom Geriner, a University
of Idaho agricultural graduate and
experienced fruit broker, as man
aging director. Other members OF
the board to serve with Greiner are
Bryan Lowe, Wilbur Morford, wess
Fenley and Alfonz H. Meyers.
The cannery will be used chiefly
to can surplus vegetables In the
nearby district. Members are APP
plying to D. E. Sergeant, eastern
Washington Supervisor for the CO.
operative department of the SDPW
to secure for them a cooperative
loan of approximately $25OO0O and
are also asking Sergeant to help
them pick the cannery site. Both
Thoreston and Miss OMalley con-
slider the proposed cannery viii be
q successful venture because of the
high type Of membership, whole
hearted community support and
the real local need for such an in
Stitution.

POWER RATE
is REDUCED
ON HIGHLANDS
Department of Interior Sends
Word $500 is Cut from this
Years Pumping Charges;
District to Ask More

The Kennewick Irrigation Dis
trict is $500 richer tonight than it
was this afternoon. Guy Story,
chairman of the board of directors
for the district this evening receiv-
ed a telegram from Senator Schwel-
lenbach in Washington, d. c., as
follows: -r. -. .-...
Secretary of Interior has de-
cided to grant request Kenne-
wick Irrigation District. Re-
duced rates remain effective
Nineteen Thirty-Five."
Under the terms of the refin-
ancing of the district a couple of
years ago, the district was to pay
a stipulated amount last year for
power charges. This year the an
nual payment was to be upped
$500. with similar annual in
crease for several years to come
The district has had the matter up
with the department for some time,
protesting the ability of the dis
trict to stand the increased power
tolls. The telegram this evening
indicated that the department has
decided to keep last years rates in
effect during this season at least
Residents Of the Highlands are
considering further request from
the federal reclamation service
now that everyone seems to be able
to get aid from the huge pot. They
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
contracting all the irrigation dis
tricts in the state to unite in a re-
quest that all construction charges
against the districts be cancelled
outright. That in the Kennewick
district, for instance, the plant be
turned over to the district as is, in
Guiding the power plant at Prosser
with the privilege of using such
power as they require, with the
privilege of selling the surplus and
using the proceeds for the operation
of the district.
They take the attitude that sew
eral other kinds of farming are be-
ing subsidized and there is far more
justification for the government
giving this sort of aid than an out
right gift for curtailment Of crops
While no official action has YET
been taken, serious consideration is
being given the idea.
