Benton City Asks
County Physician
to Locate There
Claim need desperate; ask
endorsement of Kenne-
wick; circulate petitions
here

Benton City wants to have the
county physician located at that
mint. Petitions asking the COM
nnissioners to appoint a resident doc
tor to live there were circulated in
town this afternoon by delega-
tion of representative citizens from
that place. They received substan-
tial support. The committee of
about a dozen, met with the board
of directors of the chamber of COM
merce at luncheon this noon, ask
ing the endorsement of that body
TO submit to the county commits
sioners.
The committee pointed out the
disadvantages which the residents
of that community are under, hav-
ing to call medical attention from
KenneWick or ProSser, oftentimeS in
emergency cases when delays are
dangerous. With the county physi-
clan located there and with such
local practice as originates in that
vicinity, they are confident that
the doctor could manage to make
q living.
DR.. Spaulding has been county
physician for years and since his
death, DR.. debit has been employ
ed as temporary physician.
Kennewick, he and DR.. Stevens
pointed out, are now undermined
as to doctors and cannot give the
county patients the entire care nee
essary because of the press of other
business.
The club went on record as fav-
oring the appointment of a ply
sician to live at Benton City if the
commissioners find it practical and
possible from q financial stand
point.
Heads of the several organiza-
tons from Benton City were pres
emit at the meeting. Harry Fleming,
chairman of the committee, intro
dueed the following: Harry Kendall,
president of the Kiona-Benton Com
munity Club; Oscar Hanson, pub
Usher of the local newspaper; Chas.
Johanson, Worthy Master Kiona-
Benton grange; Mrs. I. T. Evert,
Noble Grand Kiona-Benton Re-
bekah LODGE Mrs. Robert Johnson,
president Highland Ladies Club;
Mrs. Milford Roop, president Ben
ton County T. B. League; Milford
Roop, superintendent Kiona-Ben-
ton schools and representing the
American Legion post; Mrs. w. A.
DeGood, county health council,
and Argus Hughes, I. o. o. F. and

We are starting right off this week
Dragging about the spectacular duel
going on for the honor of being call
ed the champs. Line A and the
Meter Readers are still up there in a
tie but take look at the stand
ing to see how the pack Is on their
heels and with tough opponents
booked for this week they'll maybe
take ten count.
AS outstanding as the race itself
are the attendance records which
are being set in this league. We
have always said that the old pep is
put into the matches when both
sides are at full strength. Full steam
ahead, boys, for perfect records for
the balance OF the season.
League Treasurer Ted Bly, is on
deck every Friday, not only func-
tioning in his official capacity but
you know he is also one OF the
generals directing Professor Boards
lees District Engineers in their
fight to get to the top. And the
boys are making out alright If you
want to know. a.
Last week saw many Of the
matches evenly split, each team TAX
ing two points and here are the
ones that went that way which will
give you an idea Of how well bal
anced are the teams and handicap
system employed. Construction B
and Meter A, Meter Readers and
Sales A, Meter B and Collectors,
District Engineers and Production,
Line A and welfare.
The Dispatchers, known as the big
blue team. were certainly of bluer
tint, when the storemen got through
with them. They can blame those
two little iron men from Fred
Dunsmoor's bsliwick, Joe Galipeau
and Champ Kelsey, for what hap
pened as they were on their game.
Some swell individual scores were
hung up. They were Johnnie De-
Vito with 1865, Tony Lauro 1858, Bill
Poor $3.50, Frank Mcintyre 348, Otto
Moulliet 346. Ben Goldstein S46, Bob
Nelson 344, BIZ. Burr 34S and many
more with slightly lower scores.
