Attendance at
School Increased
By so Percent e
Eleven new teachers are
needed to handle en-
rollment; more possible

Already the largest school in
Benton county, the Kennewick
schools saw SO percent increase
in enrolment the first week, ac-
cording to statement made today
by Supt. E. S. Black. And the
end is not yet in sight, Black says,
for each day sees from 10 to 20
additional names inscribed be-
sides the fact that the high school
is always adding students after
the grades have gotten under way.
Today more than 1900 pupils
are attending the local school with
every indication that the total en-
rollment for the year will reach
am unprecedented high Of approxi-
mately 400 before the year ends.
At today's enrolment IL addi-
tional teachers are required, with
more needed as the enrolment
increases.
The grades, which normally en-
roll in the neighborhood of 500
pupils, already have $50 listed.
The junior high, comprising the
seventh, eighth and ninth grades
is up about 20 over normal, with
285 enrolled. The senior high
school is about at the normal stage
now, with 191 enrolled, but the
superintendent anticipates about
the same relative increase here
too.
To take care of the increase the
three rooms just prepared in the
annex are crowded to overfloying,
two rooms have been made from
the old grade school auditorium,
another from the old manual
training room and another from
an unused room. Three or four
more rooms will be required in
the high school building if the in
crease continues.
Two new teachers were added
for the first grade, in addition to
the two formerly required. One
additional teacher is required for
each of the other grades, including
the kindergarten. The new teach
ers are Miss Bowlsby, Miss Van
Hoos for the first grade; Mrs. Roy
Washburn, second; Mrs. Edgar
Gilbert, third; Mrs. Black, fourth,
Mrs. Mock, fifth.
The transportation problem is
also acute, but MIR. Black has
been assured of help along this
line from the project manage
ment.

Alumni to Play With
School Team Friday

Football prospects are looking
up at the local school. With the
increased enrolment the first
turnout for fall practice taxed the
facilities of Coach Jones. Oh
course the kids are not in condi-
ton this first week, but they are
being promised their first workout
tomorrow, when a scrub team OF
ex-players from the local school
have ribbed up a team and will
take the school boys on. 1t hap.
pens that at present there are
enough of the boys home from
the service to make up a team
and they will attempt to show ur
the youngsters.

In KenneWick
Recent attack upon 10
cal woman stirs feeling
against the race

Feeling in the community
against negroes is running high
since the attack last weekend up
on a local woman resident. Mem
beers of the city council who met
in special session last night in
vestigated possibilities Of taking
legal action toward barring ne
groes as residents. This was
deemed inadvisable, so such &C
ton as may be taken will be done
privately as individuals. Such
action will at least define areas
within the city limits where ne
groes will not be permitted to re-
side. It is expected that the Pc
titions will be circulated in the
near future.
The attack upon the woman was
made after the negro had forced
entrance through the back door
about midnight. He threatened
to kill the woman if she gave the
alarm and it was the middle o.
the following morning before the
police Were notified. A similar
attack was made upon a woman
at Moses Lake the following day
and from tracks made about the
house the attacker was located
The local woman was taken there
in an attempt to identify her at
tacker which she unhesitatingly
did. ~r..#

Big Job
Ahead
(Editorial)

kkoltorldu
The third war bond and saw
inss stamp campaign which is
being organized to raise Sl5.00o-
100000 for meeting a portion of
the nations war needs, is bring
ing home TO every community
the enormitY of the war effort.
The quotas allocated' TO the
various counties of the nation
are telling the people Of every
city. hamlet and farm that they
must buckle down TO the hard
stern task of supporting the
financial side of the war. of
fighting the war through 10
victory with their money. The
time for coasting has passed.
This means that every en-
ployer. every salaried man and
woman, wage earners, every
retired person, every boy and
girl who .works-everybody-
must buy more bonds in this
campaign than he or she has
ever bought in any preceding
bond selling effort. s
This warming is given that
every resident may determine
the amount of his purchase and
begin laying plans for buying
his bonds when the sale opens
on September 9. This commun-
ity cannot shirk now.
The county can raise its quota.
The money is here. Bank de-
posts disclose IFS presence.
Finding the money is not the
problem. The problem is simply
one of unifYing the people in
one enthusiastic buying effort
To unite the people in such q
cause should not be difficult
because Benton county folks al
ways have met their war bond
quotas and they have a record
of achievement 70 maintain
They know that victory money
invested now with their govern
ment will yield profitable re-
turns in years 70 come. Thrift
loyalty. pride in past achieve
mems and a realization of tho
nations need are the motive.
that will urge them forward Il
the goal.

Has New Way of
Handling TrOublemakers

The problem of maintaining or
der in one of the local beer en-
poriuns has been satisfactorily
solved, and it doesn't involve call
ing the police. The operator has
a specially whitfield paddle be-
hind the counter and when a
"wino" gets too insistent the dis
penser reaches over, grabs the
obstreperous one by the collar,
turns him over his knee and ad-
ministers the kind of punishment
which apparently went out of style
during this generation. He has no
trouble of any Kind. r.. -. T.. ~

c,mnlete agreement on the I'M

r started at once, they will be
.omnleted in this order:
All aIbeni Falls, on Pend Oreille

navigation.
bikes Above Umatilla
The newly proposed water level
above Umatilla is $40 feet, which
; would necessitate some diking to
prevent flooding around Pasco
and Kennewick. The program
was announced by DR.. Paul j.
Raver, Bonneville power admin
;strator. but army engineers and
bureau of reclamation men con-
Cured.
All dams must hereafter be
built with multiple purposes in
view. said B. E. Torpen, civilian
engineer for the Portland office
of the army engineers. This was
seconded by Major R. w. Scheu-
fele, executive officer for Co..
Ralph A. Tudor, Portland district
engineer.
b. Debler of the bureau of
reclamation Denver office, con-
curing in the immediate plan,
also announced the present sched-
ule for a series of dams in south
ern Idaho and for irrigation prof.
ects there that may lead to future
rivalry between southern Idaho
and central Washington for prior
construction. (. r, r.. 4-z,.-..-..4 ;.
Urgency Is Stressed
, For the special benefit of Con-
gresham Gross of Pennsylvania,
who was absent part of the day,
Herbert j. Wadsworth, executive
vice president of the Inland EN-
pire Waterways association, out
lined the special reasons why
Umatilla rapids should be the next
power development in the Column
bia system and why it should be
started Immediately.
Its position is strategic, he said,
because of several military and
naval Installations in it's immedi-
ate territory.
These include the Hermiston
munitions depot, the leand-lease
installation near Pasco, the naval
ar school at Pasco and the Han
lord engineer works, the latter
alone taking two-thirds of all the
power that can be developed at
Umatilla rapids.
Increasing the. pool height at
umatilla rapids from 80 to $40
Will back water in the Columbia
river 5 miles above Kennewick
and provide channel so that
ocean freight can be moved there
by boat.
Old Plan Revised

transportation will be extended to

nSed to possibly not more than
