Pc. to Open on
Saturday Afternoons

Because people are really heed
ing the advice to send their Christ
mas packages early this year, the
local postoffice has crew of high
school boys delivering packages
every day and the carriers are
loaded down on their routes.
To handle the early mailing
rush, Postmaster Lincoln has ar
ranged to keep the windows open
each Saturday afternoon until
Christmas until 6 o'clock. The
number Of patrons on city carrier
routes has more than doubled
since last Christmas and with the
steady increase in the length OF
the routes and the number OF
patrons it will soon be necessary
to give only one delivery daily,

Kennewick May Get
Permanent Farm Camp

There is possibility that Ken.
newick can secure a permanent
farm labor camp, it was learned
here today. Because of the unus.
ually successful operation of the
mobile camps here the past two
years, the construction of per.
manent camp is being seriously
considered.
The Importance of this area as
a war food producing section Is
also one of the dominant factors
in making the decision, it was
learned. Under the set-up it Is
necessary for the district to secure
the site, and a special committee
of the chamber of commerce has
been named to work out the plans
before spring.
A suitable location for the plant
has already been located and the
committee will investigate the
possibilities for securing title to it.

Tin Can Drive
Can Now Get
Underway
Place is provided for
collection of cans to
help win the war

The government still wants tin
cans, but the local salvage drive
has been begged down, for one
reason or another. Many local
people have wondered what to do
with their cans, but now a place
has been provided.
Under the auspices of the local
Kiwanis club, a building has been
set up on the lot west of the Hav-
stad building, for the collection of
the cans. Citizens are asked to
bring them there for shipment to
the salvage centers.
Because of the difficulty of
handling and shipping, all cans
must have the ends cut out and
flattened and brought to the col
lection center and left in the car
tons or boxes. Please do not dump
cans there, for it only means addi-
tional work for the volunteers
who will cart them to Yakima for
loading on the cars.
Save your cans, clean and flat
ten them, then take them to the
collection point for shipment to
Yakima. Uncle Sam needs the
cans-and we need to win the
war.

Kennewick's New
School TO Be Of
Concrete Blocks
To be of Is rooms in
stead of 80 asked for !;
to house grades

While Kennewick's new school
house will contain but 16 rooms
for the present, the plans are Sc
drawn that additional units can
be added as required, Supt. E. S
Black told the chamber of COM
merce today. He was accompan-
led to the luncheon by Architect
Morrison, who has been employed
on many of the federal projects
in this state since the beginning
of the war.
The is rooms already approved,
will be completely equipped,
Black said, with the state sup
plying 20 percent of the<cost. Be
cause the state is supplying a por-
ton of the grant, the government
relinquishes title to the property
which will vest in the local school
district.
Application was originally made
for 30-room building, Black said,
sufficient space for housing the
first six grades. This application
was cut down to the 16 required
Immediately to house the doubled
school enrolment occasioned by
the nearby project.
The new building, to be located
just west Of the present grade
school, will be of concrete block
construction, to get away from
the use Of critical war materials
as well as to avoid the use of the
green lumber, the only kind avail
able. This will make the building
fireproof and Of permanent con-
struction and one which can
readily be added to as occasion re-
quires.
Construction work waits only
the final approval Of the Wash
ington offices, Black said.

80 More Units In
Housing Project
Trailers to be sent
across the river;
ease restrictions

Swapping so trailers for 40
housing units was the work OF
the local housing committee this
week, when representatives of the
state authority were in town. The
committee, after a trip to Seattle,
came back with a promise Of 40
more units to add to the 200 al
ready under construction and the
promise of Is or so trailers.
When the project advisor, land
advisor and project engineer were
here yesterday, it was proposed
to add an additional 40 units to
the Kennewick project and trans
fer the trailer unit to Pasco, where
there is already a trailer town.
Inasmuch as the two types pre-
sent different problems, it was
thought best to keep them separ-
ated if possible.
The best thing about the addi-
tional housing grant, insofar as
Kennewick people are concerned
is the fact that they will not be
allocated to the DUPONT project
exclusively as the first 200 were.
The 80 can be used for essential
industry housing - food process
sors, transportation employees,
etc. This will ease the local hous-
ing situation considerably, accord
ing to the local housing authority
members.
The new units will be built on
the site just north of the present
unit and will use the facilities now
in place.
Foundations and footings for
the community house have been
set and the framework is in place.
Framework for dozen or so OF
the four and six-family units are
also in place and the digging for
the water and sewer connections
for the entire project has been
about completed. On the north
side Of the project the 1O-family
units will be erected, with the
new unit Of 80 adjoining.
Electric refrigerators, stoves
and hot water tanks have already
arrived and are on the ground.
While there will be no bathtubs
included in the new houses, each
will be equipped with q modern
shower.
