ton to pay proper military atten-
ton to Rabaul. Capture of that
strategic point would have bearing
on the war which may not be gen.
orally realized. BY taking it we
should have assembled a considerable
distance on the ladder leading to
the Philippines and Tokyo"
In conclusion, he said:
Freedom will again ring through
out the 1000 islands of the Philip
pines. The 100000 Filipinos whose
lot has been so unhappy since 1912
win have opportunity to bid proper
farewell to their visitors from the
north. l am sure they will be de-
lighted to join in the farewell cere-
monies. AS we certainly have the
right to be far more cheerful about
the future tonight than we were a
year ago, likewise we know our feel
ings will be even more elevated q
year from now"
At the close of the program, a
telegram was read by the toast
master, sent by the Filipino group
now at Haines.
Dancing to the music of Lillian
Uggen and her All-Girl Orchestra
followed the banquet.

ALICE BRANDEBURY
RETURNS FROM AN
ANNUAL FIELD TRIP

Alice Brandebury, Supervisor of
Child Welfare Services of the De-
partment of Public Welfare, has
returned from an annual field trip
to Southwestern Alaska and the In
terror, including visits to Kodiak
Seward, Cordova, Valdez, Palmer
and Matanuska Valley, and Fair
banks
The purpose of the trip was to
supervise and extend the services of
the Department of Public Welfare
through consultations and confer
ences with the agents of the de-
partment and with individuals ac-
lively interested in welfare problems
in the various communities.
In Anchorage and Fairbanks, Miss
Brandebury conferred with the
Child Welfare Workers of the De-
partment, Miss Eleanor Oman and
George w. Louden In Kodiak, Sew
ard, Cordova, and Valdez, where
local persons act as part-time agents
of the department, Miss Brandebury
conferred with them learning of
specific problems of cases needing
attention, and interpretating the
policies of the department. She also
consulted many individuals in these
towns who are in fields closely re-
lated to Child Welfare Services,
namely: public health nurses, doc
tors, hospital officials, U. S. Com
missioners, U. S. Deputy Marshals,
superintendents of schools, chill
dren's institutions, representatives of
the Office of Indian Affairs, and
officers of community organizations.
Miss Bradbury reported that peo-
pie in the various communities are
becoming increasingly aware of the
services which can be extended to
all children, regardless of race, who
are in need of special attention be-
cause of their neglect, dependency,
delinquency or maladjustment. AS
a result Of this interest in the care
of children the communities are de-
handing more services.
Miss Brandebury expects to make
a supervisory trip to Ketchikan in
the near future to confer with Miss
Ernestine Zollman, Child Welfare
Service Worker in that city, and
with others interested in Child
Welfare and general programs of
the department

He first discovered that by the
terms of the Geneva conference, we
cannot use prisoners of war in
hazardous industries. Logging, he
found, was out completely since it is
listed as the most hazardous in
dustry on the books. He did find,
however, that prisoners of war could
be employed in the cutting of pulp
wood forests and in certain nom
hazardous mill jobs.
Then he found that the lumber
industry, in spite of its manpower
shortages, was not inclined to take
on prisoner war labor And al
though about ne-fourth of our l40,-
600 prisoners of war already in
camps in this country are German
and Italian farm boys who know
how to swing an ak, practically none
was experienced in timber cutting
or milling
Rochester was finally told by
Col. 1. B. Summers, OF the provost
marshals general office to use what
ever prisoner of-war labor he could
solicit and train. That was enough.
AS a result, that portion of our
pulpwood and non-hazardous mill
industry workers who spell the diff
ference between something and
nothing probably soon will be hack
ing away at our pulpwood forests
and working around some OF the

TwON New Projects
Slated for Here

The Kennewick chamber of COM
merce has been active during the
past week attempting to have the
Prosser objection to the Bentor
county aerial gunnery range with.
drawn. Most of the correspondence
has been by telegraph with Rep. Ha!
Holmes, who has important COM
mittee assignments which keep hin
In active touch with development:
in this area. ~.
A recent message from him gives
the information that Kennewick has
two more projects in store about
which no one locally has any con-
ception. Since his mention OF them
local citizens are specializing upon
what they could possibly be.
AS the local navy airport con-
struction, for which the finances
have already been allocated, is de-
pendent upon the acquisition Of the
gunnery range, local citizens are
anxious to'have the objections with
drawn, especially as the area to bs
used will In no way affect the value
Of the land and will take virtually
no important crop areas out of pro-
duction as almost the entire range
is sub-marginal land, and unfit fol-
cultivation. ~..-.#- 10 .'.-..'

Lies Ambition
To Be Realized

What is your life's ambition, Is a
frequent question for speculation.
One fortunate Kennewick indi-
vidual is about to realize his.
Some time before the war DR..
William Stevens was. asked that
question and his reply was that he
would most like to be a plastic
surgeon, and now his ambition is
about to be realized.
AS medical lieutenant, he had
been assigned to an air corps unit
at Spokane. His group was sent
East to embark for overseas, when
he failed to pass the embarkation
examination and was returned to
Spokane again. III
A couple of days ago his COM
manding officer offered him an as
signment TO attend a plastic school
at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
MINI. The course will require six
months, following which he expects
to be assigned to one of the three
large hospitals specializing in that
type of work. = ~. = H..
DR.. Stevens was guest at the
chamber of commerce luncheon this
noon and told of some of the ANUS
ing experiences he has had since
he has been with the soldiers.

dairy cows with farmers who have
feed and labor to care for them, re-
ports w. A. Lund, county FSA super
visor, Court House, Pasco. An allot-
ment OF funds from the Com

makes it possible to purchase good
dairy stock in surplus areas for
resale locally or TO other districts
where feed and labor are available.
The FsA office is also taking
orders for dairy heifers and calves
that are from high producing herds
that will make excellent COW re-
placements.
The dairymen in Richland and
White Bluffs who plan to sell their
dairy cows or heifers and are unable
to dispose of them to locai farmers
should contact Mr.. Lund on either
Of these purchase programs. II is
very important that all dairy cows
be kept in production.

City to Compel
Garbage Disposal
Services Used
Plan to take over job
as municipal Service
next year -

Compulsory disposal Of garbage
will be made legal shortly, after the
passage of an ordinance ordered
drawn according to action taken
Tuesday night by the city council.
Citizens will be ordered to have their
garbage taken care of by a licensed
trucker, making 1t illegal to haul
their own refuse over the streets
of the. city. This to prevent promis-
cuous dumping along vacant lots
and highways. T. : :
According to the plans agreed up
on Tuesday night, the city cannot
take over the job as a municipal
function without having the expense
item included in the budget. As
the budgets are made up in the
fall, it will be impossible to include
any such activity this year. How
ever, after the first of the year, II
is expected that the item will be
included in the city's annual an
ticipated expense account and all
residents will secure the service free,
thus avoiding unhealthful and un-
sanitary conditions.

Population of
KenneWick Takes
so Per Cent Jump
Ration registration
shows 1904 people now
live inside city limits

Kennewick now has a population
Of 29o4, according to census COM
pleted yesterday from ration board
registrations for the district. The
official national census, taken in
1910 listed the Kennewick popula-
ton at 1918-with Prosser, the pres
ent county seat, listed at 1869.
According to the figures, Kenne-
wick has increased in population
more than SO percent In the past
three years, with the immediate
prospect of a Vaster increase. Ac-
cording to all reports, the ProSser
population has been decreased con-
siderably in the same period.
Reason for the survey was the
passage of House Bill No. 70 by the
recent session of the legislature
which appropriated $2.0o0.o00 to re-
lieve cities in the state which had
shown an increase in population
since the last government census by
more than three percent. The sud-
den increases in population are
causing extra expense for NUM-
cipal services, such as extra police
street department work, fire de-
partments, greatly increased rates
Of pay of city employees, etc. These
increases could not be met with
the ordinary methods Of taxing and
the state has allocated the two mil
lion to relieve the financial string
encies thus caused. ..... ...
The money viii be allocated on the
basis of percentage of increase due
TO war activities and 1t is expected
that Kennewick will receive several
thousand dollars for each Of the
next two years as a result Of the
new law. af s. H..
