r. C. Urges Women to
Enroll in Special Units

According to Mfss Adelaide Mel
son, field secretary for the Ameri-
can Red Gross, warehouses thru
out the United States are well
stocked with supplies so, for the
present only small amount of
sewing and knitting is being given
out. However, that does not mean
that the Red Cross is idle. Women
are being urged to enroll in the
many Volunteer Services which the
Red Cross is carrying on such as
the home nursing, first aid, nutri-
ton and canteen corps.
Mrs. e. G. Tweet, chairman Of
the production unit for the Kenne-
wick area has been advised by Miss
Nelson to keep the sewing rooms
open for the present on the usual
schedule. There is still need
for a number Of women to sew to
finish the assignments now on hand
and to work on the additional gar
ments which have been promised
by the Yakima Headquarters. There
lis no yarn available now.
Contrary to rumor that has been
circulating in this community, the
Army and Navy does want the Am
merican Red Cross to have its
knitters work for the soldiers and
sailors but they set q quota which
will be filled by the time all the
knitted garments now in the hands
Of women are turned in. Until
there is a further need no more
yarn will be given out.

The results of the third selective
service draft held this week to de-
termine the order number for a

Other communities have notified
their enrollees of their registration
numbers and it has been a compare
lively simple matter to dig out their
order number. This has been i'm
possible in Benton county because
the numbers have been unavailable
at least to the press. This paper
will publish the numbers as soon as
we are able to secure them.

Good Show

The benefit Legion show given in
the high school last week was a
pretty fair success, both from a fin
ancial and patron angle. The show
was funny enough to give all at
tendants their moneys worth and
the returns were sufficient to per-
init the Legion to buy at least one
Defense bond. All in all it was a
pretty good show.

Council Dusts
Off Outlaws
For Enforcement,
Sleeping ordinances
shaken up; tree plant.
ing also is due .. &

An ordinance regulating plumbing
within the city of Kennewick, pass
ed in 1912, was resurrected last
Tuesday night and, with a little re-
furnishing, will be put into opera
ton. The appointment of Chief of
Police Kershaw as inspector, will
provide the teeth for the enforce
ment of the act which was long ago
passed and allowed 10 slumber for
thirty long years.
Enforcement seems to be the order
Of the day, for another old ordin-
ance providing for the licensing of
real estate agents was dug up. dust
ed off and ordered put back into
effect. Besides that, brand new
one, that concerning the licensing,
operation and enforcement Of the
auto trailer camps was ordered put
into immediate effect.
However, the ordinance providing
for pay for councilmen was lightly
passed over and the third and final
reading postponed indefinitely.
The chambers request for the re-
planting of trees which the city has
removed from parking strips about
town just did make the grade. How
ever, about two dozen have been
planted and the city police chief is
trying to see that the other places
where trees have been taken out are
again replanted.
DR.. Stevens, who was appointed a
special committee to interview the
city council on the matter of addi-
tional police, did a swell job. He
convinced the council that there was
during our national emergency, es-
pecial need for additional police
protection He pictured the extra
work of watching for aerial raiders,
the dropping Of incendiaries, the
need for a knowledge of water
mains, shutoffs, electric switches,
etc., in such manner as to con-
vince the councilmen of the dire
need. He failed, however, to men,
ton the long hours, seven-day weeks,
no vacation stuff he so moved the
members Of the chamber of COM
merce with the previous Thursday.
The council, moved as it was, Just
couldn't seem to be able to feenagle
any way of paying for such extra
help without the aid of an emery
ency act.
The not so long ago passed traf-
fic ordinance is also due for en-
forcement.
