Bucking horses will definitely not
have part in Kennewick's forth
coming Fourth of July celebration,
according to a vote taken this noon
at the meeting of the chamber of
commerce. Because of the uncer-
tainties involved, prospective short
age of riders, lack of trained ami
mails, gas and rubber shortages
ETC., plus the huge expense and
work involved, the chamber MEM
bers changed their minds this noon
and voted that part of the program
out.
However, by the Fourth of July
a substantial portion of the Navy
personnel will be located nearby
and the Sand Point unit has a
cracking good baseball team. Pos
sibly a red hot ball game, a huge
patriotic parade, games of many
kinds, races-in general real old
fashioned celebration will be fea-
tured. Details of the affair will be
considered by special committee

There is going to be a real prob

Kinley Desgranges, manager of the

'fOf course we have made tenta-
tive arrangements" he said ito ship
such tonnage as we are unable to
pack here, to our other houses up
the valley. But this adds to the
expense of handling the crop, and
besides, we can keep that money
here if we can get enough help. am
sure the other houses here feel the
same way about keeping the work
here, but we are going to have to
call upon women who have never
worked before" Ha H.. --s....-..
Mr.. Desgranges suggests that
every woman who can possibly ar
range it, to apply for job in the
packing house. Cherries will be on
between the tenth and fifteenth of
June and the packing houses want to
be all prepared just as soon as pos
Sible.
