Asphalt RSof Repairs.
When you buy asphalt shingles for
repairing your roof, you want 70 be
sure that three things won't happen:
that the surface won't blister, that
the top asphalt layer won't slide and
reveal the felt base, and that the
mineral granuies won't drop OF and
expose the coating asphalt to de-
structive sun rays. The longevity
of an asphalt-shingle roof depends
on those factors
A survey OF roofs throughout the
country and the duplication OF
veathering conditions In the labora-
tories OF one large manufacturer are
said to have demonstrated that sucf,
failures are due to improper satura-
ton OF the felt In the manufactur-
ing process. A new process Of satu-
ration of the felt using high-melt-
ing-point asphalt for felt as well as
outer coating, impregnates the felt
base consistently to e8h per cent
Of It's total asphalt capacity, 1t Is
claimed
For years the Board OF Fire
Underwriters has demanded that the
felt base Of asphalt roofing be satu-
rated to IS per cent. In most of the
better roofings impregnation is be-
tween 90 per cent and e5 per cent. |
Higher percentage OF impregnation
Is possible with new methods of
squeezing the air out of the felt, |
while submerging ii In a bath OF hot |
coating asphalt.
Asphalt shingles are the most |
popular OF reroofing materials. They
come In solid colors and variegated
blends, and are easily installed In
strips. Be sure to lay them over
properly prepared old roofs, follow
ing the tested rules for reroonng.

Bankers are rarely noted for their

E. G. Tweet, chairman of the War
Bond Pledge drive which was con-

said, and the results as shown on
the pledge cards satisfactory"
No totals have been taken of the
pledges as yet so it is not known
whether this district achieved its
quota or not. Also there are sew

make before the final results can be
known. -
The pledges asked were for regu-

bonds or stamps and a definite
amount was asked for each week,

State Officer Is
Optimistic About
New Development
Says state is rich in
natural resources as
yet almost untouched

This war is going to do more
for the state of Washington than
for any other state in the Union,
am convinced" Ed (Deke) Davis,
state director of development and
conservation told members of the
Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. Wash
ington state is the nearest to the
actual scenes of battle-the very
spearhead for the nation" he said,
land because of that fact many peo-
pie are seeing this state for the first
time. Because, also of our vast va
riety of resources, the eyes of the
commercial world are being focused
on this section. We can't help but
profit from it following the war"
Mr.. Davis was in Kennewick MAX
ing first hand Investigation of the
local irrigation system as part Of
his job with the state. He is well
pleased, he said, with the local
conditions and is anxious to make
every preparation for taking care
Of any difficulty which might arise
out of the war. eaaa wv
Mr.. Davis said that every possible
precaution was being taken to safe
guard the states vast forest regions
against fires or other acts of saibo-
tage. "A greatly augmented array OF
fire fighting materials has been Sc
cured and a greatly increased fire
fighting force has been trained.
The development of the states
mining resources, including Oil and
gas is being helped with federal aid
he told the Kiwanians and the
states power and transportation ia
cilities will be developed to the full
est extent.

East Benton Soil
Conservation Dist.
Receives Approval
Supervisors appointed
for two Benton County
conservation districts

At a meeting of the State Soil
Conservation Committee held in
pullman, May 4th, the committee ap-
proved the East Benton Soil Conser-
walton District Referendum which
was held April 18th. AT this same
meeting the committee appointed
two supervisors for the East Ben
ton Soil Conservation District and
two for the North Benton Soil Con-
servation District. The farmers
named on the East Benton District
were Harry Hampton and Jay Perry
and those named for Uhe North Ben
ton District were Frank N. Hensley
and j. H. Evett.
AS soon as the appointed super
visors have accepted their appoint
ment and signed their oath of Of
flee they can make application to
the Secretary of State for a Ger
tificate of Organization, and after
they have received the Certificate
of Organization they can complete
the organization by nominating and
holding a referendum to elect three
more supervisors to serve with the
two appointed by the state commit
tee This board of five supervis-
ors will then serve as the govern
ing body of their respective Soil Con-
servation Districts.
The State Committee has select
ed men of high standing in the re-
spective communities to act as ap-
poir1tive supervisors in these two
districts and with the farmers NOM
mating and electing three more good
men of their choice, these two Ben
ton County Soil Conservation Dis
trict will then be in a position to
prepare "a program and work plan
which will be of great benefit to
those farmers requesting assistance
from the district supervisors in
carrying out conservation program
in their community or on their in
dividual farms s~
As soon as the district organiza-
ton is completed the supervisors will
then be in position to request assist
ance from any federal, state or
county agency who may have avail
able technical assistance, equipment
or labor as may be requested by the
district supervisors in carrying out

|KenneWick to
Celebrate Fourth
Again This Year
Car rationing promises
bigger attendance; to
lay plans now

Kennewick will celebrate the 4th
of July this year bigger and better'n
ever" according to an expression of
the chamber of commerce this noon.
Because of car and tire regula-
tions, it was thought that out-of-
town trips would he out this year
and with the large increase in temp
orary population and the expected
big increase in the naval station at
Pasco, it was expected that the at
tendance would be much greater
than ever before.
Last year the celebration went
several hundred dollars in the red
This year the boat races will be
eliminated as they were one of the
principal items of expense last year
without adequate return.
Rock Richmond, who for several
years has had charge of the rodeo
staged locally, last year sold his
string of bucking performers. He
just can't stay out of the game,
apparently, for he approached the
committee yesterday with propo-
Sition to put on the arena show this
year gathering the horses and rid
erS again.
A partial canvass of the business
men this afternoon indicated that all
were in favor of staging a rip roaring
show this year.
AS the Fourth comes on Saturday
this year, it is likely that the cele-
bration will he for two days only,
instead of three as formerly.

Labor "Cooperation" Lays

Washington Pending before the
War Labor Board are the following
demands for increased wages af-
fecting 100000 workers all directly
or indirectly engaged in defense in
dustry. Workers of the Bethlehem,
Inland, Youngstown and Republic
Steel companies demand ST more
per day for 10000 employees. In
New England $4,000 workers in AZ
cotton mills want an increase Of 10
cents an hour. General Motors Cor
poration faces a demand by 100000
workers for another ST. per day each.
The same rate of increase is de-
manded by $4,000 employees of the
Aluminium Company Of America and
80, 400 workers of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation. In only
six cases under review the increase
in labor costs would be $50, 000,-
