Mailing Co. May
Take Contracts for
Local Berries

In spite Of the gloomy report put
out last week regarding the freezing
Of Kennewick strawberries, q way
has shown up in the past few days.
The B. e. Mailing Co., which oper-
ates q large freezing plant at Wood
burn and Hillsboro In Oregon, Is
shipping large quantities Of Kenne-
wick asparagus there for processing.
Mr.. Mailing has agreed to carry sam
Piles Of the several varieties of Ken
newick strawberries along with the
grass shipments and give them the
freezing process.
If the experiment is success and
the company can use the Kenne-
wick product, he states his COM
pany will be anxious to come into
the district and contract with the
growers for a large portion Of the
crop.
Growers have signified their will
ingness to donate a suitable amount
of the several varieties for the ex-
pertinent and it is likely that the
berry growers will be able to ham
die in this manner the crop that
cannot be absorbed on the fresh
markets.

Helps 3O8 Oldsters
i'm Benton County
Cash Cut from Relief
l. .h a:1 .ss-
! Now Payable in Kind
Certify ble-BOdied

The review of all old age assist
ance grants during April has result
ed in many changes: 80 grants were
Cancelled completely as children or
other relatives were able to care for
necessities, and because of resources
such as homestead plus additional
pieces Of property, insurance with
cash surrender value and owner
ship of property, bank accounts,
etc. >-
It was necessary to make this re-
duction as funds were limited so
that assistance could only be given
to those persons without resources
of any kind. Administrative expen-
ses have also been reduced $4,000
monthly. This review leaves 308
persons in Benton County receiving
old age assistance amounting to &c.
86650 monthly. AS this sum cannot
be increased next month 1t means
that additional old age assistance
grants can be made only as the pres
ent old age assistance roll is de-
creased.
On this basis number Of pend
ing applications for old age assist
ance were either withdrawn by the
applicants or denied. At present 81
applicants are receiving small food
orders until they can be placed on
old age assistance rolls.
A reduction will also be necessary
In relief for unemployables. Prev
iously cash assistance had been
given, but because a much smaller
sum Is available for this aid, cash
will be discontinued and during May
relief will be issued in kind, ie., gro
Fcery orders, food commodities and
clothing. Most Of the clothing is
sued is made by needy women en-
ployed on WPA sewing projects. AS
stated in previous articles all able
bodied persons in need are certified
for WPA.
The cooperation that has been ex-
tended by relatives and members
of the community has been most
helpful. Because Of this we will be
able to conserve sufficient funds to
care for all persons actually In need.
without this cooperation it would
have been impossible, reports Fern
r. Massie, Acting Administrator,
Benton County Welfare Depart
ment.
