MRS Cards Not
Necessary to
Work at Ca1lnery

In last weeks paper there was an
item stating the Kennewick Canning
Co. would hire employees thru MRS
after the list compiled at the can
merry was exhausted.
Unfortunately, when the item was
copied by other papers, the infor-
nation was not properly quoted,
with the result that the impression
was given that to secure employ
ment it was necessary to register
with MRS.
We desire to state, says the secre-
tary Of the Kennewick Canning Co.,
plainly, in order to clarity the mat
ter, that registration with MRS has
no bearing on securing employment
with this company. Employees will
be selected at the plant as they are
required, by the superintendent. tr-
respective of their registration with
any bureau or organization.

New Pc. Building
for KenneWick
Listed in Budget

Post office buildings for Kenne-
wick and Dayton in the sixth con-
gressional district were included in
the federal housing budget bill just
passed through congress. The bud
get calls for $4,000 buildings in
each town.
The federal building budget for
the ensuing three years work calls
for the expenditure Of several mil
lion dollars. Included In the pro-
jects itemized In the budget were
the two above mentioned buildings.
While the inclusion Of the two
items In the budget bill makes the
prospects for securing the appropri-
atoms much brighter, it does not
necessarily mean that Kennewick
will secure the buildings. This fac
tor remains largely with the repre-
sentative.
The chamber Of commerce sent q
telegram congratulating the repre-
sentative on the inclusion Of the
item and urged him to bend every
effort toward securing the appropri-
alton. Kennewick's prospects for
greatly increased volume Of bus
mess within the near future was
noted as an added reason for an
immediate ALLEGATION Of funds.

Cannery Asks
Permission for
Loading Track

Application for side track to the
Kennewick Canning Co. plant was
made to the city council Tuesday
evening. The council was in favor
Of granting the franchise for the
siding, but no action was taken
pending an investigation of the pro-
position by the street and alley COM
mittee.
The original application called for
q siding along the present O-W
tracks from the west. A movable
loading platform was to be used
from the cannery across the inter-
vening street to the tracks. The
city, however, refused to grant the
concession unless all responsibility
for possible damage suits was as
sumed by the user.
Considerable difficulty has been
experienced in the past In granting
franchises to the railroads for sid
ings due to objections from Compel
itors. The council adopted q reso-
luton last evening for future ac-
ton in this regard. Henceforth 1t
viii be the policy Of the city to
grant no sidings to railroads unless
they can be made joint affairs,
available to the use Of either or all
the roads in the territory. This ac-
ton viii not affect the present
franchise application. however.

Administrator of
Social Security
Explains Detail

Paul Engbretson, social security
administrator for Benton and
Franklin counties, was q speaker at
at the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday
noon. Mr.. Engbretson explained the
setup from the national headquart-
ers to the local administration.
The new social security act is adj
ministered in six divisions, Mr.. Eng
bretson said. Starting with the
underprivileged child, on through
middle life into old age. He said
that Benton County was under the
state averages in both pensions for
the blind and for mothers pensions.
The latter feature, one OF the
heaviest items formerly contained
in the county budgets, is now taken
over by the state department, MIR.
Engbretson said. ......
Two Of the provisions OF the
national security program are not
operative in Washington at the pres
ent time, that OF unemployment In
surance and direct relief. He also
stated that wPA projects in Benton
county at the present time are at a
standstill for the reason that there
are no unemployed men available In
either the upper or lower end OF
the county.
Following the talk Mr.. Engbretson
was asked about the conditions per-
tanning to the old age pension. He
stated that 1t was no longer neces-
sary that citizen declare himself
q pauper to receive aid. A pension
er may have q bank account of ND TO
800. own his own home. insurance.
and still be able to participate In the
monthly payments from the state.
This providing he Is unable to earn
q sufficient amount for subsistence.
The amount Of help received each
month would depend, Of course upon
the persons earning capacity. The
maximum amount allowed under
the present arrangement is $50 per
month per person.

MOultOn May Be
Named for

That the Yakima valley should
have some representation on the
supreme court bench is the concen-
sus Of Yakima attorneys who are
talking of boosting someone for the
position to be vacated by Judge
Warren w. Tolman, who has an
nounced that he will retire Septem-
Der 20.

Among those mentioned as SUI
preme court possibilities are Thomas
e. Grady, Elwood Hutchinson, Geo.

Arthur Mcclure OF Ellensburg and
M. M. Moulton of Kennewick, al
though so far there appears to be
no concerted effort In behalf of any
one man. Yakima has not had a
man on the supreme court bench
since the late Judge Frank II. Rud-
kin served in that capacity prior TO
1911.
w. B. Clark, member Of the state
bar committee on the appointment
OF judges, says he will undoubtedly
make recommendation from this

what name or names will be pre-
sented. George G. Twohy, president
OF the county bar, said there had
been no request so far for a special
meeting Of the bar to make rec

with the drivers, so Is the regatta
site popular with the crowds, who
can see everything that is going on.
There is enough space on the long,
flat river bank for nearly q thous-
and cars to park.
Besides the thrilling speed dashes
in the A, c. and unlimited classes,
events on the days program, which
begins at 1890, will include free
for-all race for local boats, washtub
races, water basketball and the pop
ular relay race, which Is always q
highlight Of every regatta.
Providing first aid in case Of ac-
cidents, the American Red Cross
will have q tent at the regatta, with
complete first aid equipment In
charge Of several nurses. Lifesavers
will also be on duty during the day.
Admission to regatta is IS cents
