Hunting Called Off
West of Columbia

Goernor Langlie cancelled the
scheduled opening of the hunting
season in Central Washington Tues
day, in order to maintain the max
imum amount of help possible in the
apple harvest.
Counties affected are Okanogan,
KittitaS, Ferry, Yakima, Douglas,
Benton, Chelan and the portion of
Stevens county west of the Column
ibia river, in which the deer and bird
seasons were scheduled to open on
Sunday and extend through Nov. 1,
for deer, and Nov. for birds.
The elk season was to open on
Nov. 8.
Under the governors proclama-
ton, all hunting in the area is pro-
Inhibited until Nov. 8. The bird and
deer season was to have ended on
that date, but the elk season con-
tinues for several days after that.
The chief executive, in further
explaining the closure, said there
also is serious fire hazard in the
area and the cancellation was based
upon his authority to suspend the
hunting season because of that haz-
ard.
The game commission recon-
mended the closure and is studying
advisability of opening the seasons
later.

Gas Rationing, Yes! But Still
Enough to Garry on Business

, Gasoline rationing viii not deprive
the people of Washington with suf-
ficient gas to meet normal economic
and social activities, Dave Cohn
state fuel rationing representative,
OPA, stated today in answer TO a
flood of inquiries at the state office.
colln stated that fears that per-
sons would not be able to continue
their work after November % when
rationing goes into effect were
baSeleSS.
Dozens have asked if they should
sell their cars, or if they should
sell their home and move to other
sections of the city" Cohn said.
I'VE want to assure them that
there is no need for alarm. The
gasoline rationing plan is being set
up to provide sufficient mileage
both in gas and rubber to meet
the normal economic and social
demands. "l
The program is not meant to
entail transportation problems or
to prevent persons carrying on their
legitimate business. 1t is designed
to carry out our war effort with
the least possible disturbance and
to conserve our stocks Of gas and
rubber as far as practicable"

3 Candidates Can't
Have Names Put
I'm On Ballots
Election board claims
wrong form used for
filing declarations

The three republican candidates
for county offices selected and filed
by the Republican County Central
committee will not have their names
printed on the official ballots at the
general election on Nov. 3. The
candidates whose names will be
omitted are Jennie ChelliS, candi-
date for treasurer; Charles l.. Powell,
candidate for county prosecuting at
torney and Olaf Strandwold, candi-
date for county auditor.
This action was taken because the
county election board declared that
their filings were not in the form
required by law. Because two of the
three members OF the election board
are also candidates for office, opin-
ion Of the state attorney general
was solicited and his opinion COIN
cided with the board. The county
election board consists OF the chair
man Of the board Of county COM
missioners, Fred Kemp; the prose-
cutting attorney, Kenneth Serier, and
the county auditor, Harley Chap.
man. The latter two are candidates
for reelection on the democratic
ticket.
However, the fact that their names
are not printed on the ballots has
not deferred the candidates from
prosecuting their campaigns. Voters
desiring to cast their ballots for
them will be required to either write
their names in the proper spaces or
put stickers on the ballots. .

Challenging statements that the
American people are not taking the
war seriously enough, Hal Holmes
Republican nominee for Congress:

the great majority of the common
people are saying "le's get in and

section of the fourth district ir
recent weeks to talk to farmers
business men and laboring men
Holmes says the people "are keep
ing their eye on the ball-and the
ball is the war effort"
Il agree with that statement
by President Roosevelt that the
people are clear ahead of Congress, .
Holmes said. "But I'll go step
farther. I think the people are
ahead of the President. Not only
have the people cf1eerfnlIy ac-
cepted every new sacrifice asked of
them to aid the war effort, but
they have been ready to make those
greater sacrifices long before they
were asked to do so. What they
want is leadership; to he told in
plain, honest language what is need

Holmes said he found the people
of the district are putting first

Reports Best Years
Grape Juice Plant
Operations
Company Expresses
appreciation of local
help in harvesting

The local grape juice plant is this
week completing its largest years
operations, according to a report is
sued by F. M. Ludlow, secretary, to-
day. The tonnage handled was at
least 25 percent larger than in any
previous year and the quality was
considerably above average.
The company employed nearly 500
people in the plant and in the vine
yards during the harvesting season.
Of course with the rapid turnover of
labor the total number of persons
employed during the season was
considerably greater than that num-
Der. During the past month the
company has spent in the neigh
borhood of $l25, 900 in this district
for labor and the purchase of inde-
pendently grown grapes. s -.
While figures are not available
as to the total amount of finished
juice, the quantity for retail sales
has been considerably reduced ow-
ing to the fact that 80 percent of
the output has been reserved by
the government. ""4 -
That the cooperation of the local
people was appreciated by the COM
pany is evidenced by the following

Dear Mr.. Reed:

Dear Mr.. Reed: ~ r.- a
At the beginning of the season we
Were bit apprehensive as to wheth-
er. we would be able to harvest and
process the grapes of our local
growers and company-owned vine
yards. However, the people of this
community cooperated in marvel
Gus way. 1t was this 100 percent
cooperation manifested by local
housewives from not only the town
of Kennewick, but also from the
farms in the adjoining territory, in
Guiding Richland and Pasco, which
brought about the satisfactory COM
pletion of this project. As far as
I know, every Concord vineyard has
been harvested, for the most part
due to this fine spirit of helpfulness.
I must mention also the high school
boys and others filling in in the
plant during the night shift. With
out their efforts our processing
would have Jagged and caused loss
to local growers and ourselves.
! wish to personally thank every
one who in any way contributed,
either by picking grapes or by work.
ing in our plant. Some of you have
made real sacrifice, for you have
left your homes and family to help
us in this year when so many of our
boys have left the community to go
into the army and navy and defense
work. 1t has been real experience
for many of you, and We sincerely
hope that we can count on you again
next year.
Yours very truly,
