Chevrolet
Coming Soon

New model Chevrolets will be on
display at the Kennewick Auto Co.
on September 81, according to Ern-
est Huber, manager of the local
Chevrolet leadership.
With the 1910 model Chevrolets
all sold, dealers throughout the
country have experienced one of the
best years in their history and are
very optimistic over the outlook for
1941.
A great amount of interest is al
ready being shown in the new
models and all indications point to
a bigger and better year in 1871,
not only in sales, but in product as
we'll.
While changes in body styles
have not been announced as yet, the
car will be bigger than the previous
model and will afford greater
safety, economy and beauty.
Saturday, September 81 will be
national announcement day for
Chevrolet and on that date Chev-
rolet dealers will hold open house
to which the public is invited.

To Show Aerial
Views of District

Vivid airplane shots of the Col
umbia river basin-ranging from
the mouth of the mighty river to
the picturesque Wallowa mountains
and from the fruitful Yakima val
ley to the e-blanketed Deschutes
country-are one of the many fea-
lures of "24-Hour Service" sound
movie scheduled for free shoWings
at the Roxy theatre here Monday,
September %.
Into every corner Of the terri
tory it serves, Pacific Power & Light
company, producer Of "24-Hour
Service" sent the cameraman to
record the industry and resources
of each locality. Historic spots, out
standing scenic points and local
people at work and at play thru
out the Columbia river area are
pictured.
Pilot of the plane from which
the aerial portion of the picture was
taken was Roy Shrek, aerial wealth
er observer once lost in the WildS
of western Idaho Cor several days
following a crash on one of his
meteorological flights.
Basically the picture is a fast
moving and dramatic story of the
electric power industry, picturing
the complex generation, transmits
sion and distribution processes of
modern electric service. On this
groundwork is built the whole fas-
cinating p cture of this part of the
Pacific Northwest, with many Sc
quences showing various local in
dustries OF the region at work.

Workers Should Inquire
Before Leaving for Jobs

Workers in this area who think
that jobs are plent full elsewhere in
the state are asked to check with
the Walla Walla office of the Wash
ington State Employment Service
before moving to some other place
looking for work.
John H. Thomas, manager OF the
Walla Walla office of the State
Employment Service said today:
The Employment Service is able to
tell workers what jobs are open
thruout the state, or when such jobs
might be open. If the workers will
ask us about possible job openings
before starting out, we will be able
to put them on the right track.
Just a few days ago Jack E.
Bates, Commissioner of the State
Office of Unemployment Compen-
sation and Placement pointed out
that a contract has been let does
not mean that jobs are available,
and workers who migrate to that
point find no jobs and spend their
money needlessly. The State En-
ployment Service aims to prevent
this useless migration.
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that
there is no charge for using the
State Employment Service facili-
ties either to the employer or the
worker. "The Employment Ser
vice. he said, sis ready at all times
to help either the worker or the
employer

Staff Of
Army to Grow

WASHINGTON - The war de-
partment expects to employ more
than $4,000 civilians-almost one
half as many as its present total
existing non-military staff - to
meet demands of the defense pro-
gram.
These estimates are based on
testimony given to the house APP
preparations committee in execu-
tive session during consideration
of the third supplemental defense
appropriation bill. They do not in
clude hundreds of thousands of
persons who are expected to obtain
work in factories turning out re-
armament orders or those en-
ployed indirectly in other federal
departments or agencies in the
defense program.
Latest statistics showed the war
department has a total civilian
staff of 1871 persons, of whom
5,726 are located in the District of
Columbia. Many of the new jobs
are temporary, others are perma-
nent. In general. the employees will
be taken from civil service COM
mission rolls whenever possible.
10000 Needed In Medical Corps
Army officers told congress that
almost 10000 civilians will be
needed in various jobs for the
medical department. About 1890
others are to be employed as
nurses, another 2.131 to establish
finance offices in the field. and
about 5000 will be hired for plant.
repair and maintenance work in
the quartermaster corps activities.
The estimates showed that s.302
others will be needed for furnish
ing the army with all types of
supplies from food to office equip
ment, during the next six to nine
months.

COMMUNITY
GARDENS

Bachelor men and women living
in this housing project just ad-
Jacent to a large factory would be
housed in separate buildings which
would each be divided into three
units; kitchen, lounge and living
room for one, bedroom and wash
room for the second and third.
Sixty men could live in reason
able comfort, while AZ women
would have ample room in the
same space.
A large number of boys and
girls from Is to 30 are always en-
ployed in wartime munition fac
tories. so they would be provided
with the same setup as the adults
with the exception that one small,
lightless recreation room would be
constructed.
Married couples with children
would be given the individual one
story cottages having the addi-
tional space Of living room.
In both the individual and mass
housing units, no individual back
yard gardens would be permitted.
Everyone would grow vegetables
in large community tracts of 1872
acres so as to preserve the camou-
flage effect of the whole communal
layout.
