ed today to open late,
so kids can cut grass

! No decision has been reached
concerning the proposition to have
the local schools operate on a six
day week schedule. A second
QUESTIONABLE was submitted to par
ents of school children today with
an alternative plan.
The suggestion has come from
several agricultural districts, par
ticularly from Eastern Washington,
that the schools operate an extra
day each week so that the children
could be released to help with the
farm work. Following advice from
the attorney general, the local school
management early this week sent
missionaries home by the child
rem. The replies were tabulated and
it was found that the ratio for the
proposition was about 30 to one.
However, inaSmuch as there were a
large number who were not affected
by the proposed change, inasfar as
the children helping on the farm is
concerned, and due to other strong
objections that the plan would work
hardship on the farms, the al
Tentative plan was Offered today.
The plan submitted today was
that the schools continue as now, but
with a shortened schedule during the
grass cutting time. This, too, ap-
parently has difficulties not en-
countered in previous years. due to
the daylight saving plan, which will
60 into effect this year, causing the
schools to open two hours later, &C
cording to sun time.
School officials declare they are
entirely neutral in the matter, sub
hitting the proposals entirely in the
interest of the school patrons and
that they will abide by the re-
turns expressing the patrons wishes
in the matter. Ut is likely, however,
Judging from the previous balloting
for the six-day week that the new
practice will be put into effect, start
ing this week. However, until the
votes are tabulated tomorrow (Fri-
day. no decision has been given by
the board.

RichlanderS to
Hear Air Raid
Measures Given
Residents urged to at
tend meeting at grade
school Wed. night

Richland people are planning q
meeting for next Wednesday evening

air raid precautions, blackouts and
other war measures. Under the aus
pieces Of the American Legion post
special speakers have been secured
for the occasion and all the infor-
nation available will be given the
district. -. a..
Demonstrations Of incendiary
bombs and how to combat them,
what to do in an air raid alarm,
how to handle the blackout, will all
be given 10y specially trained men.
With the imminent location of war
industries in the region, it becomes
more and more important that peo-
pie in this district learn how to
take the greatest precautions, it Is
felt, and the Legion post at Rich
land Is taking the lead in securing
methods for the greatest safety
measures possible. just this week
rumors were rife that an immediate
blackout alarm was to he given in
case the radios suddenly became 81
lent. They didn't, and so of course
there was no alarm. But in case
such an alarm sounded before the
instructions were given great deal
of unnecessary panic might result.
The special meeting will be held
in the grade school auditorium at
Richland at eight o'clock Wednes-
day evening, January %. All citi-
zens of the Richland area are urged
to be present.

City-Wide Religious
Survey to be Made

The events of recent months pro-
vide material for much reflection.
Our defenses in more than one
sphere of American life are seen to
be inadequate; r1lilitarily, politically,
as well as reigiously. In view Of this,
church leaders are faced with the
question: what is wrong religious
ly?" Therefore the citizens are being
asked to cooperate in the religious
survey being conducted, by giving a
few minutes of their time when a
work calls. He is hoped that the
findings of this survey will be of in
terest to all the citizens of Kenne-

Plan to Pool
Small Factories,

Undertake surveys of
machinery available
for making parts

Efforts made previously by the
smaller towns in Eastern Washing
ton toward a decentralization of wal
industry are beginning to bear fruit
Under the sponsorship of the adj
ninistration of Walla Walla, a sur
vey of the industrial possibilities OF
the INLAND area is being conducted
with the view of sIbcontracting mill
tary supplies through a group Cd
small plants located in the smaller
cities.
The Kennewick chamber of COM
merce, up on receipt Of the request
today, has authorized such survey
in this community. AL available ma
chinery is to be listed which could
be used in manufacturing.
One Of the first suggestions is for
the grouping of the baking equip
ment and creamery machinery
Foundry and metal working ma
chinery will he listed, as well as
welding equipment, etc. This sur
vey will be undertaken this week
and it is expected that subcontracts
will be pooled among the shops in
the Wal1a Wala area capable OF
handling such work.
One automobile compay, now all
out on defense work, has manufac-
turing jobs which they are farming
out to such of their dealers as are
capable and willing to accept the
work. Details Of their shop equip
ment have been submitted and the
company plans to ask their dealers
in the smaller communities to CO.
operate in the manufacture of the
parts.

activities during the past two years.
From 1910 to 1912 your chamber has
been active both toward securing
new industries and in offering serv-
ices to those already operating i'm
our midst. Some big and many little
things have been accomplished dur
ing that time.
Beginning with the Open River
hearing before the army engineers
on March 18th, 1910, and the ban
kuet Of that evening, your chamber
has been active in promoting the inn
provement Of the river, in co-opera-
tion with the Port Commissioners to-
ward the reconstruction of the port
and the interesting of wheat grow
ers and business men in river trans
portation. You have seen the build
ing of a wheat loading warehouse
and dock, and the steel which has
been unloaded for the rail connec-
tions to be made in the very near
future. Your chamber sponsored
and helped finance the bond cleo
tons, the barge launchings and the
joint dedication of the ports.

your industrial committee, the COL
umbia Marine Shipyards Co. was To-
Gated on Clover island. They raised
the guarantee for assuring the road

Worthy Of note have been the
many improvements along Avenue G.

of Kennewick. Modern auto camps.
retail and wholesale gasoline sta

resulting in increased travel and
tourist trade. The Kennewick Cash
