Big Y to Freeze
Much Grass at
KenneWick Plant
Fresh marketing outlook
brighter than for sever
al years past; apples,
pears move out

The Big Y held its annual meet
ing Tuesday afternoon, February IL
and was very well attended. The
principle business consisted of re-
ports from the management on the
business of the past year. President
Austin woodward, j. W. Hebert,
general manager, and c. Allard,
field manager made a general report
Of the increasing business through
out the valley. The local district
shows an increase both in member
ship and tonnage. The hydro re-
frigeration plant installed last year
worked out so successfully that the
scope will be considerably increas-
ed this. year. Arrangements are
also being made to freeze the ma
jor portion Of the grass tonnage in
the local plant.
Apples and pears are nearly all
gone out Of the district. The stor-
age plant has been full of apples
but they are moving out now at the
rate of one to three cars a day.
In the asparagus situation this
year, the outlook is very favorable
for a fresh market. Heavy rains
and floods in California and Ne
braska in different sections has both
damaged and delayed their crops
and should make a better fresh mar
ket than we have been having.

Twenty Listed on
Honor Roll From
Local High School
Twenty-eight had perfect
attendance records; "a
had but one absence
during entire semester.

The honor roll for the first Sc
meSter for the Kennewick senior
high school consists of twenty peo-
pie, which represents approximately
eight percent of the student body. If
you will check the absence list,
which is also published, you will note
that the attendance of these boys
and girls is very good. There is. al
ways a positive correlation between
good attendance and good grades.
One of the most important causes of
failures and poor work is poor at
tendance. The school is proud to
pay homage to these boys and girls
making the honor roll. It is also
glad to publicly recognize the good
attendance of these boys and girls
who failed to make the honor roll,
but whose work in school is good.

State to Increase
Payments on Old
Age Assistance
County Administrator
says it is not necessary
for present applicants to
reapply

Announcement has come from
Eugene M. Hayes, administrator of
the Benton County Welfare Depart
ment, that increases in local old
age assistance grants have been au-
thorized as result of Initiative 141.
The State Department of Social Sc
curity has advised the County Wei
fare Department of the approval on
January % by the Federal Social
Security Board of the plan submit
ted by the Department for amend
ing the states provision for the
needy aged. It was necessary for
the Department to modify the orig
inal provisions of the Initiative in a
few important respects The initia-
tive itself made possible such changes
as were necessary to make it con-
form to the Federal Act and to in
sure Federal help in financing the
program.
The Initiative originally proposed
to exempt from consideration Ger
tain income and resources, such as
the use or occupancy of property
owned by or given to the appli-
can't, fuel, light and water given to
the applicant by members of his
family or by friends, or produced by
him for his own use, together with
gifts in cash of less than 500 year
and gifts in kind of less than 500
year.
The Federal Social Security
Board requires that all income and
resources, without substantial ex-
ception, be taken into account in
determining eligibility for old age
assistance and in arriving at the
amount of the monthly grant. The
Board therefore found subsections
(g) and (h) of Section of the
Initiative not in conformity with
the Federal Social Security Act and
the plan submitted by the Depart
ment of Social Security was of ne
cesesity based on the requirements
of the Federal Act rather than the
Initiative.
It is not possible at this time to
estimate the number who will be re-
ceiving the maximum grant of $40.
Those receiving grants of less
than $40 will do so because they
have income or resources of various
kinds. Such resources may be in
cash or in kind, and may include
housing which the applicant has
provided for himself by prior pur-
chase, or housing or other items
given him by members of his fam
lily or others. Some small grants
will continue to be given, as they
have over recent years, for clothing
and incidental expenses for those
applicants who have their mainten-
ance otherwise taken care of.
Mr.. Hayes reports that it will not
be necessary for present applicants
of old age assistance to reapply.
Their grants will be automatically
increased by the County Welfare
Department for payment as of Mar.
l.. After the necessary work in
making these increases has been
done by the local staff, work will be
started on such new applications as
may be received.

Lions Back to
Tie With PrOsser
in Second Place
Shorts writer, Dip Page,
op saws mental sabotage"
worked on last week S
game; Friday to decide

Kennewick fans must have had
the family ouigi board going in high
Gear Friday night as they came thru
an the good side of two games. Most
,n,nortant of these was the Lions
n,,ilinp out of the losing power dive
snd opening up with both barrels to
mt sl1nnyside definitely out of the
tournament race and insure their
own trip.
second can be credited to sabo-
taqe through mental telepathy. In
lending their help up in Prosser, the
Top-Hi wildcats were able to cut a
hot Prosser squad down to Kenne-
vick,s size in the standings, 40 to 40.
The big issue comes up tonight
in pasco where the Lions will re-
ceiye floor burns from rubbing
AGAINST the walls of the Bulldogs
stronghold. This game should be
a shoo-in for coach Ray Nor
miles lads. After seeing Pasco in
action the general trend of de-
duction is that a worse club has
not graced this league in some
time.
@Big Milky" Durand is said to be
the storm center of this club, but
even the great Milky is known to
become baffled over the efficiency
of the opposition's defensive efforts
at times. It is safe to guess that
with only three miles from the scene
OF not much action by Pasco, Nor
mile has some definite ideas which
will BATTLE Durand even further.
A win tonight over PascO is go
ing to mean a lot to the Lions as
far as second place hopes are
concerned. As was said last week
a club going from this league into
the valley tourney as the third
place club is doomed i'm the first
round, on the other hand the
second place outfit has a pretty
fair chance of going the limit if
they are hot.
ProsSer runs into Sunnyside and
II comparative scores mean any
thing at all, the Grizzlies are going
to finish the season in a bad way.
However, a fair guess is that Sun
nyside may have something to make
the game tonight interesting for
ProSser.
Should both Kennewick and
Prosser win both games as is the
most likely, they would still be in
tie for second and the result
would be play-Off on a neutral
floor. If this results, one opinion
is that the Lions fix things up for
that former loss at the hands of
the Mustangs.
Last week prediction under the
heading of fact was issued in this
column, it was said that Yakima
would plow through the northern
DIVISION undefeated. Gle Elum
which started slow but is really
turning on the power, clipped the
Plrates by nine points after slip
ping the skids to second place
Elensburg the night before. Now
all they need to get into the tour
ney is win over Selah and all indi-
cations point to this becoming a
TACT This dropped Yakima down
couple of notches and does not
make them the sure thing they had
Us believing they were last week.
An added feature in the second
pace position of this league in the
opening round of the tourney is that
.ne club in that spot will play the
second place club from the B con-
.efeilce tourney. All this makes
:" sweet spot to start from.
