ton Board that violators Of Con-
servation Order L-4l which limits
construction Of farm dwellings TO
5000 and the construction of farm
buildings, fences and other facil-
tiles to $1,000 will be dealt with more

that date, this is the first mention
he has made of the signal honor
and even in this letter he did not
state the reason for the award
This letter, too, gave the first init
nation that he had been previously
honored.
The letter states that he had been
given five oak leaf clusters and went
on to explain. The airrnen's medal
is given for five successful flying
missions and each oak leaf cluster
for five additional ones, which in
dicates that he had participated in
at least 80 successful missions.
Concerning the DFC. he says:
"At least it will give me something
to look at in my old age So
far have seven ribbons to wear
after get home, and will probably
have more when I do get home
Replying to the urging to apply for
officers training he says: 'They are
not going to take an experienced
combat gunner out and send him
home. to become a brass hat. We
are fighting war down here-or
hadn't you heard?"
Other letters have told about them
being on the Sahara desert, where
it gets terribly hot during the day
and bitterly cold at night. They
had been sleeping in pup tents and
suffering more or less from the cold
Later they dug a hole, lined it with
ammunition packing cases, covered
it with four pup tents joined togeth-
er, installed a stove and were fairly
comfortable again. One of the boys
from Pasco is in his outfit and they
find more or less in common to gas
about. q

Over the Top i'm
Red Cross Drive
In KenneWick
District to hit $500
possibly by end of
the month

Over the top with the Kenne-
wick Red Gross quota is the cheering
word from 1t. Col. Kathryn Ripley,
following the benefit card party
of last Friday night.
To the 80 or more hard working
volunteers, the $4,000 quota assigned
to Kennewick doomed like an un-
obtainable goal, particularly Just
following the first solicitation, which
Melted only a little more than hall
the required amount. The further
appeal, however, began to pile up
the contributions, and while the
quota was still short just prior to
the card party, the party and the
auction which followed brought the
total up to within reach.
Since last Friday, other contribu-
tions have come in and now the
quota has been exceeded by about
10 percent, with small amounts still
coming in.
The benefit party was an un-
qualified success. There were Is
tables in play, with quite few
more having been paid for by peo-
pie who were unable to attend. A
big and amusing feature of the en-
tertainment was the auction fol-
lowing the play. Merchants in town
had contributed the articles to be
auctioned. These were put up blindly
and under DIR. Ripley,s skillful coax
ing, fabulous prices were paid-and
then many of the articles returned
to be auctioned over again. A great
dael of amusement was created and
everyone seemed happy to he able
to add to the Red Cross funds.
Seven Rainbow girls asesisted the
committee in serving the refresh
ments. They were Mary Ellen Dick
inson, Daphne Tayler, Lois Jean
Bennett, Barbara Jones, Janet Mas
on, Clarabelle Johns and Ninette
Evett.
Col. Ripley is especially pleased
with the success of the Kennewick
drive, as the quotas from the upper
Yakima valley and particularly
from Yakima itself-are still fan
short of their quotas. Prosser ex-
ceeded its quota of $500 by about
the same percent as did Kennewick
All the other districts in the valley
are still far short.

Local War Board Asks Help
In Increasing Production Of
REGIONS Vital 'Wur Crops

Asking the cooperation OF the
citizens in Kennewick In stamping
out the black market and encourage
ing farmers TO plant and harvest eS-
sential war crops was the theme
Of talk given to the chamber of
commerce this noon by Fred A. VIII
son, chairman of the Benton county
war board
Mr.. Wilson explained to the club
men that the war board was doing
everything possible to help the war
effort as concerned the farmers and
their crops. He said that the gov
eminent had made arrangements so
that war crops particularly and es-
sential crops in their turn, would
definiately be harvested, regardless
of the appaent labor shortage at this
time. Among the two local crops
designated as war crops" were to-
matoes and potatoes. Many Of the
other local crops were listed as ''es-
sential" but not necessarily as war
crops.
While there was assurance, Mr..
Wilson said, that the war crops
would be harvested, every possible
source of local labor would need be
exhaused before foreign" labor
would be provided. His board Is
now making survey Of the schools
to find out what help is available
from that source. The survey will
include the needs on the farms, too,
including the information as to the
specific crops, the actual number Of
extra hands and just when the help
will be needed. .. 49,.
OF the war crops, tomatoes are
the most important in this section,
Wilson said. There is need for and
equipment to process the produce
from 900 acres, while only $50 are
now under contract. Hesitancy on
the part of growers is due to lack
Of manpower and the risk involved
in this crop, Wilson said. Both
these objections were being taken
care of, he said, by the guarantee
Of sufficient labor and to the crop
insurance plan which the govern
ment has authorized. The latter
will guarantee the farmer against
loss II he plants the vital war crops"
crops"
In order to curb possible "black
market" all who slaughter animals
for food must secure permits. Only
the farmer who made a practice as
far back as 1871 of killing for his
own family consumption can now
do so without permit. II, however,
he should sell or give away any
portion OF the carcass he must do
it only with the surrender of ration
points and with ther equired permit
therefore.
The black markets, he pointed out
take food from our armed forces,
the lend-lease poJect and the civil
ian population as well Apparently
the black market is already consum-
ing about 10 percent OF the meat
available, according TO latest. fig
ures. The black market should be
guarded against by civilians espe-
ctally, he said, as 1t involves a
lack of cleanliness in handling IS
well as the possibility for the spread
Of disease, both Of which are care
fully guarded against under normal
conditions by federal inspections.
Mr.. Wilson said his department
had been ordered to take over an
other duty this week. The new one
is the rationing Of gas for non
highway use. Farmers needing gas
for tractors and all other farm
use may now apply to the War
Rationing board for their permits.
