Open Ball Season With
Sunnyside This Sunday

Sandburs on the rodeo grounds
and too soft ground at the fair
grounds has ruined the prospects for
baseball playing at either of those
two points. The Kennewick ball
team had to go to Pasco to play last
Sundays game with Wallula (Which
by the way, the visitors took at an
unbelievable Score.)
The Kiwanis committee in charge
of the sponsoring of the team made
arrangements for a diamond out
near the school house. Part of the
rodeo grounds will be used and wire
fences and bleachers erected. The
first agme of the league schedule
will be played Sunday at Sunnyside
and by the following week the local

Live on Less

Getting along on poor diets for
weeks at time takes its toll in
chronic fatigue, shifting aches and
pains, and certain kinds of digestive
disturbances. Inadequate diets de-
stroy persons sense of well-being,
his joy in being alive and well and
able to work. ..a
About one-fourth of the families
of the United States could be rated
as eating good diets, more than one
third eating fair diets, and another
one-third as eating poor diets.
Even without changes in the eco
nomic situation, more families could
have good diets if they used their
resources for food to the best advan-
tage. Recent dietary studies show a
need for 10 to 20 percent more milk,
10 to 25 percent more butter, Is to
20 percent more tomatoes and citrus
fruits, and about 2 times as much of
leafy green and yellow vegetables.
Homemakers who study food val
ueS and nutrition, who are good
managers and good cooks serve bet
ter diets. They know that whole
grained cereals cooked at home may
take the place of the more expensive
ready-to-eat kinds, that cheap cuts
of meat for stews and pot roasts are
just as good protein as steaks and
chops, that there are many uses for
evaporated and powdered milks as
we'll as fresh milk, that standard
grades of canned goods are as nour-
ishing as those of fancy class. These
homemakers know too that family
garden can provide the best foods for
summer diets and winter storage.

Red Cross Campaign
 Reaches $13,117.23
Annual Roll Call to Close Tomorrow; Late Returns May Achieve $22,OOO Objective; Mrs Rooster Talks

With the annual roll call of the local chapter, American Red Cross, due to close tomorrow, returns Up to this morning had mounted to $i3,l17.23, according to official fig- ures tabulated at headquarters. It is hoped that late donations from individual solicitors and from or- ganizations which have not yet been heard from, will boost this total considerably.
 Mrs. Herman Koester, Red Cross roll call chairman, in e special radio broadcast last evening expressed her thanks for the splendid coop- eration received in the drive from hundreds of volunteer workers, and from the industrial, business, and social organizations who contribute ed to the fund.
 Without the aid of the workers who gave their services for solicit" ing In the city and the several sur. rounding towns, the chairman said, the drive could not have functiofed at oil. Mrs. Rooster was especially warm in her gratitude to those ore gaY1iza tionS, of which there were several in Waterbury, which con. tributed 100 per cent in the cam paign.
 She expressed the hope that Wa terburians would continue to offer their moral and financial support to the Red Cross until the goal of 22,O00 memberships was reached. Although the drive officially ends November 30, contributions will be gratefully received after that date, she explained. &s+
 Mrs. Rooster then discussed the great expansion of the work of the Red Gross, especially with the ad. vent of an unlimited national emer. gency, and the national seiective service system. It was this sltua- ton she explained, which led the local chapter to raise its quota from 5000 memberships in io40 to 220o0 this year. The Red Gross, she pointed out, is the only agency of non military nature permitted to operate in army and navy estah- NshlnentS.
 Tt Is only through funds realized during the Roll Call drive" she con- cluded, "that the Red Cross can operate, and today, these funds must be vastly increased. It is our duty, os American citizens, to join the Red Gross. Let us all, each and every one, march proudly under that great humanitarian banner, the Red Cross."

Monthly Payments

Local Social Security Office Reports on Claims for Od
 Wage, Survivors Insurance in Local Area

Tn the area served by the Social Security office In Waterbury, 620 individuals had filed claims and had been awarded monthly old age and survivors insurance payments totaling t1i ,06700 as of the first of last month, it was announced today by Robert 1T. Austin, manager.
 The figures include monthly checks to the eligible widows and young children of insured wage eaTnerg who have died, as well as to tlle families of qualified work CTS who have reached age 66 and are not longer at work.
 Based on operations since the first of ie40, when the new federal insurance payments went into ef- feet. MT. Austin said, the figures show about S5,73i00 monthly be- ing paid to families Of deceased or retired wage earnerS and about Se,226.00 to retired workers them seiveg.
 The monthly total of recipients and payments has been increasing steadily and is expected to con- tinue to gain for many years to come, Mir. Austin pointed out, as insured wage earners leave work after age 66 or die, leaving eligible survivors.
 Tn determining eligibility of the widow of an insured wage earner, the age at which he dies does not matter. II he left young dependent children who are being cared for by their widowed mother, she may Do eligible for monthly payments until they grow up regardless Of her age, It was explained but otherwise 6 widow of & fully in. sured wage earner does not become eligible for monthly payments un- tli she reaches 66, the same age as that which the wife Of Q retired wage earner may participate.
 This explanation iS given because Of Af1 inaccuracy in Q recent mag azlne article, he said, while urging that, whenever an insured wage earner dies, his nearest relative should get in touch with Q social security field office to learn If either Q monthly benefit or lump sum death payment may be claim. Cd. NO one may obtain insurance payments under social security, he emphasized, until after 6 claim is filed. Delay in filing may cost on otherwise eligible Individual many nonths' benefits.
 Since the amount of benefit pay. i1eatS depends on the wages paid to m Individual in covered ern. ployment, the importance of yerl. flying social security account wage records for 1897 was stregSed. since any request for corrections should be filed before the end Of this year.
 Persons receiving monthly bene. hts were reminded by Mir. Austin

states because of tardy delivery of supplies. And then German anti. aircraft guns being delivered to a Brazilian port by boat that cer- tainly wasn't German, or English or Swiss, with three guesscs allowed as Co what nationally it was.
 Without going into too many de- tails of Q story that dates back be. fore the start Of the present war, the tale Of the tanks and the anti. aircraft guns Is substantially as fol- lows:
 Brazil placed an order for SeO,- 000.000 worth of military equipment with Germany just before the start of the war, and sent over mission" to receive 1t. Tn spite of the war, the Germans proceeded to turn this equipment out from the Krupp works. But the British blockade wouldn't permit the BrazilianS to get the material. This made the Braztlians very peevsh at the Brit 1sh.
 UNNAMED SHIP OF UNNAMED NATION
 Eventually Q Brazilian boat pick ed up some of the equipment at Lis- bon last January. It was the good ship Siqueira Campos. The British stopped her on the high seas and took her to Gibraltar. They claimed to have found Q lot of stuff abroad that wasn't supposed to be there.
 A Young Brazilian hot-head of- 1icer leaped to the defense of his country, and was pirked in the arm by Q shot from a Britisher. Brazilian Minister of War Gen. Eurico Dutra, a mold army tOp-sergeant, was all for declaring war on England. That didn't happen, but Brazil was still without It's contracted for mad need- ed equipment.
 So, the Braxillans turned 10 their good neighbor, the United States, and said, How about some equlp- mert to take the place of that which the British won't let Us get2" The United States didn't have any. Eventually, however, 6 token" de-I livery of ten light tanks was made to Brazil around the first of sep- temher.
 The Brazilians were SO delight ed they hurried up and learned how to operate them and the ten Anevican-made tanks rumbled through the streets of Rio in this country's national holiday parade of Sept. 2 along with Germali-made tanks which had been delivered to Brazil before the war.
 Iae German Embassy was right on the job in calling up the Bra allan War Office. and pointing out how inferior the American tanks wero when compared wth tho Csr- man.
 BElgsder General "Duke" Miller. in charge Of the American military nlisslcn, however was just as much on fhe Job with an aEaWer. He disv patched some young Brazilian ofia- osrs Who had been traind in the unlte0 states with American tanks, to tho War 0Afice, and they quickly made it clear that the German milllaky aktaehe ae fsAsf an 0ld~ wuHlHswNE tank man end ai9nt anow Naat h1 ues talking abeiii.

ship apparently picked them up and deposited them at an unnamed North Atlantic port, and there htey were picked up by an unnamed ship of an unnamed nation, and now they are in Brazil.
 The economic battle also has its strange twists. Some conceyns on the blacklist seek to meet the chang ed conditions by reorganization. There have been legitimate sales of German-controlled outfits to Bra1ilians, or to Americans. Others have attempted congratulations by elimination Of certain directors. If the elimination of the German con- trol is real, the reorganization is ac- cepted. Unless the reorganization is proven actual, however, the scheme does not work.
 Then there is the surprise of some Americans when they run into the comparatively small productive capacity of Brazil. The low-level of production prevails at both ends Of the Hemisphere line.
 One American was all primed to place an order for Q certain type of fibre containers. Considering the extent of his American market, he wanted 20,000.O00 units. He was astounded when he was told that the present. capacity of the country was only two million units c year. STRANGE TWISTS
 ON ECONOMIC FRONT
 There is little indication, aS yet of any American influence upon mems clothes or women's fashions In Brazil. Helena Ruhinsteln and
