GrOcers Finding
Patrons Turn to
Low Point Items
Buyers inclined to save
their ration books as
much as possible for last
of month spree

|. The food rationing program which
went into effect this week i1asn'
created as much of a jolt to the
common mans way of living as was
expected. Nor, for that matter, have
the stores felt too big a drop IL,
their daily receipts, although the
type Of stuff purchased has under
gone a decided change.
Instead of buying canned goods to
the extent most people have become
accustomed to. they have turned to
the fresh stuff, according to local
grocers. Many of the rationed items
have been scarcely touched, par
ticularly the higher point stuff, but
there has been some trade In the
other items. Local dealers look for
a squirt at the end Of the month
when families begin to figure their
remaining points on their ration
books. It Is expected that there
will be no ration book points left
at the end of the ration period, even
though the family still has a s1lf-
ficient quantity of canned goods on
hand. The remaining points will
probably be spent for some of the
higher marked goods at that time.
Dealers expect to find changes
after next month in the point val
ues of many of the items, as ex-
perience will show what items are
to be moved and which are to be
saved for shortages. In the mean
time the grocers are attempting
to make it clear to customers how
to use the point system and have
arranged point values as well as the
money price on items which come
under the rationing plan. , -..

Farm Labor Camp

to indications now; to

Arrangements were made the frs

camp here this summer. Glenn Rat.
cliff, who was the first manager OF
the Kennewick camp last year, who
has since been promoted to chief cd
operations in this area, was here to
select the location.
Since further activity at the port
district has been postponed, appar-
emily, until after the duration, ow-
ing to the inability to secure rails
for the siding, the port has leased
the grounds for the camp this year
for the labor camp. Shade, cleo
tricity and suitable well being on
the grounds, the place will serve the
purpose to much greater advantage
than the location of the camp last
year, according to Mr.. Ratcliff.
The farm labor situation, through
the mobile camps, will be consider
ably eased this year over last, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ratcliff.
Arrangements have been made
for shipping in farm labor from the
far south, two contingents having
already arrived in the Yakima val
ley, so or more having been located
at Granger and another group at
the Yakima camp. This type of
worker is proving much more salts
factory, it is claimed, than the usual
transient group such as has been
the custom heretofore, as these
workers are trained in farm work.
MIR. Ratcliff says the camp will
be opened here the first of April,
so that labor will be available at the
beginning of the grass season. He
also stated that the KennewickI
camp was the most successful of any
Of the camps in the West last year.

is Warned to
Guard Against
Spread of Plague
Chamber backs up city's
efforts to handle gar
bage collection; COM
mittee to report soon

A black plague is prevalent on
the coast and the Kennewick city
fathers were warned about its spread
to this side Of the mountains al
their regular session Tuesday eve
ming. Health Officer DR.. Ripley
appeared before the council and
asked that every precaution be
taken locally concerning the pos
sibility Of the outbreak of the plague
In this area. The plague Is carried
by gophers and rats. He said that
the collection and disposition of
garbage was one of the most inn
portant measures to take in guard
ing against an outbreak.
The garbage situation then came
in for more or less discussion by
the council, with the proposition
of the city facilities being used for
the work or the city entering into
contract with an outsider to
handle the job. The matter was
left to the street and alley commit
tee to investigate and report on at
the next meeting. -..... se-- Il
The matter has had consideration
by the chamber of commerce and
a committee Of three, comprising
A. E. Parlier, Larry Newsome and
DR.. p. o. Stone were present at
the meeting to assure the council
that the chamber would back upI
the city's action in whatever man
ner was possible. The delegates
assured the council of the chambers
endorsement Of their efforts to clean
up the city, and especially the high
way to the city dump. -sS~

The Score Card: Ceiling prices
are in effect for such vegetables
as cabbage, carrots, lettuce, spin
ach, snap beans and tomatoes.
Watch for changes in point val
ues on meats and other red stamp
foods. Look, too, for the ceiling

The butcher usually posts ceiling
prices on his wall.
Your butter and cheese man
can collect your points before he
leaves your order. In this way
he won't wake you up if he comes
early, or If you're not at home
later in the day. Should he fail
to be able to fill your order, he
must give you a ration check for
points given him but not used,
and you can turn this in to your

Earthen Walls Endure

Certain Of the most distinctive
habits of the Bronze age Chinese
were already practiced in simple
form by the people who lived in the
Black Pottery villages. One of these
traits was building city walls of
pounded earth. To make this type
of wall wooden frames were put in
position and earth was dumped be-
tween the frames and pounded down
until it was exceedingly hard. Walls
made by this method could be built
quite high and sometimes endured
for centuries. The wall at Ch'eng-
tzu-yai can still be distinguished.
