summoned to appear before the fed
eral court in Yakima to explain their
detection. -

Old fashioned races

The old familiar bigger n better

Kennewick's Fourth Of July cele-
bration this year, owing to other
larger attractions elsewhere, but
the old spirit will be there at least.
In two features, however, the old
slogan will still apply-thereu be

military organizations represented
than anything Kennewick has ever

Of the program have suffered some

gram which has fallen through.

Lutheran Church
Contributes Sl68
to China Relief
Other contributions to-
tai only A5, but both
raise KenneWick quota

Despite the acknowledged urgent
need for relief to China, especially in
the drive for funds, the Kennewick
quota OF $500 would have gone by the
board except for the unexpected
hberality of the local Bethlehem
Lutheran church. s sss'=t ,.ses.q
The drive was to be completed yes
terday. After securing the town,
Mayor Alfred An1on almost gave up
in despair d month ago, being unable
to find an organization to sponsor
the drive Finally, after having
been turned down atsevery place he
could think of, he left a small bank
:atsthe printing office to receive such
contributions as might be received.
IA week or two ago, the little bank
was fun. It contained q little over
$50, which was forwarded, a.. Since
that time, a. larger .container. has
been getting dribbles from contribu-
tors, and when opened this morning
contained $15.75. While counting
the pennies, much to the surprise Of
the committee, August Dammier
brought in a check from the Juth-
eran church for $168.75, the collec-
ton taken Sunday from the con-
gregation for the purpose. It was
not the result Of q special drive,
either, Rev. Kauth informs us. It
was Just a collection taken for. the
purpose at the church. 3. Il -
Anyway, this check, plus the
forty-five dollars, brought the Ken
newick quota up over the top.

from Mrs. Ruth Holman, secretary
of the Benton county selectiye SER
vice board OF this number 81
were registered from! Prosser, altho

men, comparatively, into the service
than this end of the county. COUNT

went in early in the fracas. ~
= OF the 242 men signing. 121 were
registered from Kennewick. sS,, -
: White Bluffs registered the next
highest number - Is. Then came
Richland with 10, Benton City, "A,
and Paterson L. n a. r. -
The local registration board, con-
sisting of Mrs. Ed Tweet, Mrs. Bob
Simmelink and Mrs. Lou Keene,
noted two outstanding features of
the local registration. The first
was the number of ut-of-towners--
about twenty being registered from
other states-fere apparently for the
military projects under construction
in this area. The other factor not
ed was the fact that the big major
ity of the registrants gave rural adj
dresses. These boys apparently
have not been bitten quite so hard
by the war bug-or at least have not
been high-pressured by recruiting
officers as strongly as the city
jewellers. 80
There will be no drawing for this
group. Dates of birth will be the de-
termining factor. The Civil Serv-
ice bulletin sent the local board car
ries the information that registrants
over the age of 20 are now liable for
service.
