Legion Starts
Chest Drive With
Check for $lo0
Recreation program
and War Fund drives
combined in drive

Kennewick's community chest
drive, just now starting, got big
boost today when a check for
500 was received from the local
American Legion post. The big
check was presented largely be-
cause of the inclusion in the drive
of the new War Recreational Pro-
gram. The drive itself is also in
connection with the nationwide
War Fund drive. The latter in
cludes II international benefici-
aries, and local community chest
seven-plus the recreational pro-
gram. - .....sag,.. ..zs.-ss.s
The chest fund quota has been
set at $1,000 this year, plus at
least $4,000 for the recreation pro-
gram, while the war fund quota
has been set at $4,000. This means
that $4,000 will be required if all
detectives are attained in the Ken
neWick area.
The recreation program, urged
and set up by the federal authori-
ties, will require total budget Of
at least $4,000, of which amount
the local district is being asked
to raise but $4,000. No provision
for a building is included in the
budget for this year.
Supervised youth programs to
combat the growing tendencies
toward delinquency, are the main
detectives for the current season.
Trained directors will be supplied
under government supervision
and a comprehensive outline of
entertainment provided for all
classes.
In the local chest list of bene-
ficiaries are included the Ben
ton County Health Council, YMCA
Hi-Y), Boy Scouts Whose appro-
priation has been doubled to take
care of the rapidly increasing
membership Campfire Girls, All
Clubs, Washington Childrens
Home and the Salvation Army.
These organizations have been
provided chest funds for many
years at Kennewick, doing away
with the necessity for individual
drives from each of the organiza-
tons.
Business houses are being asked
to double their ordinary contribu-
tons, while employees are again
asked to contribute at least one
full days wages to the fund.
'sYou know this ought to be
easy" Lou Langworthy stated to-
day. He is chairman of the local
committee in charge Of the drive.
eff everyone knew that donations
to the Community Chest and War
Fund drives could be deducted
from their income tax statements,
we should be able to about double
our quota. A lot better to keep
that money here at home than to
have to pay it out in income
taxes"

Junior Red Cross
Glasses Forininu
In County Schools
Pupils enthusiastic
about patriotic pro-
gram being outlined

Subdivisions of the newly or
ganized Benton County chapter,
Red Cross, are getting under way
with splendid results being al
ready shown, according to the
chapter officials. Each depart
ment head is getting her particu-
lar unit organized and the entire
organization will soon be produc-
ing full blast. 49,.
The Junior Red Cross division,
under the Craftsmanship of Mrs.
Gertrude Spaulding, has the en-
rollment campaign under way.
Membership is by contribution
through the school rooms, with
each contributor being consid-
cred a member. For each room so
enrolled, membership fee of soc
is forwarded to the national head
quarters, while all amounts col
lected over that minimum will 60
to the local chapter.
Already there is a Red Cross
club is formed in the local schools,
with committees at work in all
other schools in the county doing
the same work. Here one room
in the elementary school has COL
lected SIS in membership fees.
The pupils seem very enthusiast
tic about the program, Mrs Spaul-
ding reports, and are doing patri-
otto projects such as making scrap
books, holiday decorations, knit
ting, sewing for the invaded
service men in the hospitals.

Altman Missing
Now Reported
Prisoner of War
Tyre Weaver, arm
shot off, tossed out
ship at 25,5O0 altitude

One of the wars most fantastic
injury stories, one which has
gripped imaginations throughout
the country, was the tale of an
unidentified turret gunner aboard
a Flying Fortress whose arm was
shot off at the shoulder. Attempts
of fellow crewmen to stop the
flow Of blood failed. AS a last re-
sort, the co-pilot, who had taken
over when the Fortress captain
had his head blown off with an
aircraft cannon, ordered the gum
ner rugged into a parachute and
dropped over German territory.
1t was an off chance that the air. :
man would be found and treated
in time to save his life.
H.. Victim Now Prisoner
That story comes directly home
to Kennewick and its ending is
revealed here: The airman was
Tyre Weaver Jr., who for several
years worked here with the Coca
Cola people. He worked with his
brother, Howell, who is still here
and who received notice that his
brother was a prisoner Of war in
Germany. With the lack of detail
common to prisoner notices, it is
merely to report that he sis alive"
Tyre Weaver, already a veteran
of many assaults upon German
territory, had probably the most
amazing even Of his career ahead
of him when he started on his
last trip of the war.
The story of the Fortress in
which he rode is in itself men,
orable saga. The story of how
Weaver, with not enough arm to
take tourniquet, managed to
cling to the parachute straps with
his good arm and the stump, how
he survived the shock of being
tossed oversize at 25,500 feet,
where the air was so thin he had
been kept alive with portable
oxygen tank after the cabin was
smashed, will have to await end
of the war or the day when he
becomes an exchange prisoner Of
war.
Details Unknown
What happened when he went
down through the hell of flax, the
weller of explosions around him
and what kind of treatment he
was accorded on landing in enemy
territory must remain a sealed
story.
But the main thing is: Weaver is
alive and he's as comfortable as a
prisoner can be. Credit for saw
ing Weaver's life goes to quick
thinking Co-Pilot Johnny Nor
gan, who ordered Weaver over
side and to Navigator 1t. Keith
Kosky, who somehow managed to
rig the chute so it would hold
Weaver and arranged a device to
trip the ripcord.
The current issue of the Cos
mopolitan carries a story of the
epic flight of the Fortress and of
how its co-pilot managed to get
to his target and return after
having been literally shot to
pieces.
Weaver is quite well known in
this community where his south
en- accent and affability have made
quick friends for him.

Could Use $4,000
Men on River
Improvement Job
Army engineers plan
1OO-year development
project on Columbia

Fifty thousand men must be put
to work building Columbia river
dams as soon as the war ends, if
the Northwest is to achieve its
full destiny, DR.. Paul j. River,
Bonneville power administrator,
recently told the 10th annual con-
vention of the Inland Empire Wat
erways association.
Col. Ralph A. Tudor, district en-
gineer at Portland for the army
engineers, said that the first COM
prehensive survey of the Columbia
is now being started and that it
emissions future development of
100 times as much power as is
now being developed at Bonnie
vile. It will take five years to
complete the survey, he added.
but construction of certain prof.
ects can start at once.
No IVA. Needed
Speaking for himself only, Ed
Davis, Washington state director
of conservation and development,
said Bonneville power authority
similar to Tennessee valley author
ity is not needed, as the several
agencies now concerned with the
river have shown they can CO.
operate.
These were the highlights of a
session which adjourned after
bringing out a surprising attend
ance of more than 300 from Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
"We are looking ahead 100 years
in our planning said Col. Tudor,
"visualizing not only the ultimate
development but the immediate
future of this area, which should
and can keep most of the popula-
ton here by war industries and
shortly provide jobs for even
more.
"Bonneville's 10th unit will go
into production one month from
today, completing the power in
stallations there. Portland has
just launched its 500th ship ne
cessitated by the war and made
possible by Columbia power.
More Inland Navigation
We are laying plans for $50
miles of inland navigation. Two
Willamette river dams will be
built and three more are project
ed. AS soon as congress gives the
word we are ready to 60 ahead on
the Umatilla dam, which, stud
les indicate, will be $40 feet in
stead of 80 feet above sea level.
We advocate also 10 lower Snake
River dams, four for immediate
construction to bring ocean boats
to Lewiston
Colonel Tudor said that until
he started the quick studies on
Pen oReille river nine months ago
he did not realize the absence OF q
definite overall Columbia river
program. Instructions to prepare
such a program are now being
carried out.
Administrator Raver empha-
sized that 20 agencies now deal
with the Columbia, although half
his mail is addressed to "Bonne-
vile power authority" which does
not exist. "a
"What happens in the next few
years." he said, twill determine
whether the Northwest grows and
prospers as its natural resources
and its population justify. We
stand at the crossroads. We can
keep and expand our greater pop
ulation if we agree on a compre-
hensive program now. We will
lose the greatest opportunity OF
the century if we are not ready
for it. ~.
