Soldiers Fear Fear Most

New Haven, Dec. 10-(UP)-A survey by Prof. John Dollard, re- search associate in social anthropol- ogy at YaleS Institute of Human Relations showed today that 75 per cent of the soldiers going into their first battle experienced five common types of fear.
 They were afraid, said Prof. Dol lard, of being a coward of being crippled and disfigured for life, of being killed, captured and tortured. and of being wounded severely, in that order.
 Battle seasoned soldiers dreaded most the thought of being crippled and disfgured, being killed, cap tured and tortured, being wounded seriously, and last, of being a cow ard.
 The survey further showed 29 per cent feared abdominal wounds, 27 per cent eye wounds, 9 per cent head wounds, 20 per cent genital wounds and only 6 per cent general body wounds.
 Prof. Dollard said 36 per cent feared wounds from bomb shrapnel, g per cent from trench mortars, Is per cent from bayonet or knife 16 per cent from expanding bullets and 6 per cent from grenades.
 Falling bombs caused fright to 38 per cent, explosion and concus- sion to 33 per cent, the sound of planes Il per cent, and the sight of bomb damage only per cent.
 Body symptoms of fear, the sur vey showed, were a pounding heart, rapid pulse, strong muscular tense ness, a sinking feeling in the stom- ach. dry mouth, clammy hands and trembling. Less than one per cent experienced fainting or vomiting.
 Prof. Dollard is an expert con- sultant to the Department of War mogale division.

BULGARIA
 READ|ES TO
 QUIT AXIS

London, December 10. - (UP)-Bulgaria has ordered general mobilization and is shaking up her cabinet in an attempt to quit the Axis orbit despite a German threat of counter-measures, Euro pean dispatches said today, and one report predicted a showdown within 48 hours.
 Balkan sources in Cairo said the closing of the Turkish-Bulgarian border was accompanied by an ex- change of shots between Turkish and German trops, but added with out elaboration that there was no confirmation of number of casual ties on both sides.
 A Swedish press report from Buc- harest said Marshal Fevzi Chalk mak, Turkish chief of staff, who accompanied President Ismet Inonu to the conference at Cairo with President Roosevelt and Prime Min ister Churchill, had offered to re- sign because of his opposition to Turkeys entry into the war on the side of the Allies.
 A Nazi warning to Bulgaria not to change her course was reported by the Stockholm newspaper Tidnin- gen in Bern dispatch which said Herbert Won Richtofen, German minister of Sofia, presented note to Premier Dobri Bojilov at tWo- hour meeting yesterday.
 "1n case Bulgaria, from opport- tunism, should change her course without consulting her German ally, this would be considered an un- friendly step which would cause counter-acts," the note was quoted fCny1 1f{va1rol a,, Yo-o

Big Boost to
Local Bond Quota

Benton County will receive
credit for $4,000 on its Third
War Loan quota for bonds pur-
chased by Pacific Power & Light
Company, it was announced to-
day by Roy Skill, district man.
ager.
"The company is putting a total
100000 into war bonds in the
present campaign" Skill said.
These are funds which normally
would be- used for additions and
improvements. Now, of course,
wartime shortages of materials
limit construction to bare essen
tials, so we are putting the money
into the safest investment in the
world, U. S. War Bonds. After
the war this nest-egg will help
provide for the postwar expan-
sion of our power facilities to
serve a growing region"
Each county in which the COM
pany operates is being credited
with its share of the total pur-
chase.

J. III. Cox is New

Councilman Joe Stradling re-
Gently resigned from his uncush-
Toned seat at the council table
to accept a job as street commits
sioner. For month Or two the
position has been vacant, but
Tuesday night j. H. Cox was
appointed to the position by the

Mr.. Cox took the seat vacated
by Mr.. Stradling and apparently
had a wonderful time at his first
session.
While the new city dad didn't
have anything to say during the
session, he started right off the
bat by busting a precedent. His
position rates fee of $40 a

dition that he could refuse to &C

City Valuations Up
By 5000 for IA

For assessment purposes, the
county treasurer has again given
Kennewick an increase in valua-
tons for this year of more than
$1O3, 900 over the figures for last
year. These figures were present
ed at the regular meeting OF
the city council Tuesday night at
which time the preliminary bud
get for the coming year was
adopted.
Actually, the valuation should
be about doubled, the council
men figure, but inasmuch as real
property is reassessed only every
other year, the many new build
ings erected here this year will
not show on the rolls until next
year, when the new assessments
are made, and then the taxes will
not be available for use until the
following year 1915.

Crane Harvest on
With ! !! i! Big Boost
In Growers Price
Local plant starting on
seasons run; no fresh
fruit sales

A ceiling price of $45 ton for
Concord grapes has been set and
the local plant is paying that
figure at the plant. This is a full
so percent increase over the price
paid last year and nearly double
the customary price during recent
years of SIS per ton.
Because of the short grape crop
throughout the country, there has
also been placed ban on the sale
of fresh grapes or for use other
than for food purposes. Crow
ers are limited to the sale of not
more than 100 pounds to other
than professors.
Representatives of the Church
Grape Juice Co. today stated that
harvesting of their vineyards had
been started. Because of tenn
porary shortage of labor at the
plant, they had pickers enough
at the moment to keep the plant
busy, but as soon as extra help
could be put on at the plant, addi-
tional help would be needed in
cutting the grapes in the fields.
The new ceiling price is SUBJ
stantial boost for the growers
and the local plant indicated that
they would be able to take on in
pendent growers throughout the
district, in addition ito their own
product and that of the growers
already under contract.
The price quoted last year was
$27.50 per ton, but by the time
the bonuses were paid, the price
was $50 per ton. The average
price over a 10-year period has
been about $25 per ton.

Change Ration Methods
On Track-type Tractors

Rationing methods on crawler
type tractors for farm use are
being changed on September l
when state quotas will be put in
to operation. Farmers will still
file their applications with the
County War Boards who will
make recommendations and for
ward them to the, State War
Board. Only as many applica-
ton will be forwarded from the
State for final approval in Wash
ington as there are tractors in the
quota. The purpose of this plan,
according to information received
by the local War Board, is to de-
centralize the authority for the
granting of preference ratings for
the purchase of track-laying trac-
tors.

Next Years City
Budget Doubled
rom Increase
Valuation increases but
so do expenses in all 12
departments - @.'.

Kennewick's growing pains
were acutely in evidence Tuesday
night when the city council began
to prepare the budget for next
year. After the figures were all
in from each of the several de-
partments it was discovered that
the total was almost exactly
double the highest previous budget
that of last year when the total
was $4,000. This years figures
top $4,000. ~ z -r
AS this figure is some IL or Is
thousand dollars more than the
city's estimated income from re-
serves, taxes and everything else,
the city's financial condition
looked dubious until it was dis
covered that finally the back taxes
paid by the railroads a couple of
years ago, could now become
disable. Foreseeing another size
able Jump in next years require
ments, the council took into con-
sideration the rapidly increasing
housing facilities and other addi-
tons, but found that while the
new stuff would be assessed, the
tax money would not become
available until the following year.
Tentative plans include enlarg-
ing the police force, adding anoth-
er police car, installation of two
way radio, a doubling of the park
funds, increases in the salaries of
elective offices, etc.
Figures in the preliminary
budget can be revised downward
on final approval, but not in
creased over the preliminary
budget. The public may review
the figures submitted and pro-
test or approve at the final session.
Under the circumstances the
chances for reduction in the levy
for next year appears impossible.

~ as to the standing of the quota
= of today and indicated that
,he community would be COM
oiled to get some real action in
ihe next seven days if the quota

IN accepting the $4,000 check
,rom the J. c. Penney company
heal manager, Anon indicated
that there was still a long way

noon today, including the $4,000
This noon, brought the total sales
70 $4,000 for this community. AS
the quota is $150,0O0 for the Ken
newick area, it indicates that the
coal has been but three-fifths
met. These figures do not include,
however, some of the company
contributions which are anticipat-
ed, although not yet received.
The rodeo planned as the high
lisht of the bond drive has fallen
through, the farmers of the Ore
son country having run into diff
ficulties in rounding up their
home talent show. No other
features have been planned to stir
up interest in this section such
as are being tried in other 10
calities. However, Mayor Anon
stated that he hoped that the quota
could be met without house to
house canvas which has been sug-
gested by the government officials
in charge of the campaign. I'm
less private purchasers show more
enthusiasm in the campaign the
quota will not be reached the
mayor said.
Benton county has been allotted
half million dollar quota, of
which Kennewick and vicinity
were given $50, 900, including the
lower valley. The Benton City
Kiona quota is SOS, 900, with $685.
900 from the Prosser area. The
other 100000 was allotted to the

sections of the county are re-
porting totals of about the same
as this district, Anon announced.

State Orders
Immediate Plans
To Clean Water
Simple chic. ination not
sufficient, state board
writes to suppliers

Copies of letters written to the
Highlands domestic water depart
ment and to the Pacific Power &
Light Co. We're read at the coun-
Gil meeting Tuesday evening. The
letters were from the state board
of health and called attention to
the pollution and turbidity of the
water of the Columbia river, the
source of supply for both projects.
T. the letter demanded, in the
name of the public health that
both institutions make immediate
plans for filtration plants, claim
ing that simple chlorination was
not sufficient protection under the
degree of turbidity now being
experienced. 1
For the past several weeks the
water supplied by the local sys-
TENS, both here and at Pasco has
been terrible, according to the dis
cussion at the council. No doubt
exists as to the need for the fill
tering of the water and the city
was anxious that immediate steps
be taken to make the suggested
corrections. No information as to
what either the Highlands plant
or the local supply would do was
obtainable for the meeting.
In the discussion following the
reading of the letters, it was sug-
gested that the two projects COM
bine and use one plant for both,
or that the city purchase water
wholesale from the Highlands
plant, which with the added reve-
nue. could then get the water sup
ply from wells and use single
filtration plant for the whole area.
Water for domestic use is now
chlorinated at both the Highlands
and the Pacific Power & Light
Co. plants. Water for both is TAX
en- from the Columbia river, where
pollution is increasing due to the
added population up the river.

Guided at the local branch of the
Cascade Frozen Foods this week,
following which the plant will
be shut down for change over
to start the spinach season. The
help situation at this particular
plant is therefore eased up at the
moment, but an even larger crew
will be needed for the next crop,
Manager Lynn Wadsworth told
the chamber of commerce this
noon.
He said that but for the help
of the women in the community
who responded nobly to their ap-
peals, many tons of fruit wouldn't
have been saved. He expressed
his appreciation to the women
for their aid during the recent
weeks, but hoped that they would
all come back to help with the
Popeye Rejuvenator.
At the Walla Walla cannery, ac-
cording to manager Gus Parlier,
they have ample help during the
day shift where over 100 women
are on the job each day, but
stated that the tonnage could be
greatly increased if he could Sc
cure help for the evening shift.
They were also temporarily short
of man power.
Bert Moores, speaking for the
Kennewick Cannery, said that
their crews were all working full
time and for the moment had
sufficient help to operate at cap
acity.

To Hold Hearinu
On TrailerCamp
Ordinance
Residents all to have
chance to permit trailer
parking in area

chance to permit trailer
parking in area
Eight or 10 residents of the Gar
den Tracts attended the meeting
of the city council Tuesday night
and it began to look like another
interesting time for the local re-
porters. However, no fireworks
developed and no stories were un-
covered as all of the visitors spoke
for the privilege of displaying
their patriotism by allowing trail
ers to park on their property.
There were no DIRECTORS to the
plan in the ordinance.
The council, however, didn't
wax enthusiastic to a degree. Fol-
lowing the testimony of one after
another as Mayor Anon called up
on them, the council agreed that
the battle was not of their choos-
ing-that it shouldn't have been,
in the first place. The council
felt that they were merely doing
what the residents of the section
wanted when they passed the orig
inal coming ordinance and now
apparently some of the people af-
fected wanted it changed for the
emergency.
The zoning ordinance calls for
public hearing upon any ques-
tons calling for changes. This
notice was to be issued by the
city planning commission. This
action was not taken when the
question first came up because
of the time and trouble involved
in giving each property owner
written notice of the hearing.
Now, however, the council has
ordered the hearing to be held
and the notices will be mailed as
soon as the planning commission
can secsure the mailing addresses
of the property owners in the
area affected by the change. &.
