Yank Soldiers in J.
England Resented
Lewis Coal Strike
Returned airman tells
KiWanians Of expert
ences in the big war

"The life of John L. Lewis would
have been worth very little had it
been possible for the American
boys in England to get hold of him
after he pulled his coal strike" Sgt.
Richardson, of Pasco, told MEM
bers of the Kennewick Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon. Sgt. Richard
son, a waist gunner on a Boeing
Flying Fortress, was twice wound
ed in action while on duty in Eng
land and is the possessor of two
Purple Heart citations for his gall
|lantry. ~ .s
Sgt. Richardson is home on con-
valescent furlough for six weeks,
after which he will return to the
hospital at Battle Creek where he
will undergo further treatment for
his wounds. He was wounded on
his fifth flight over France from
England, he said and was in an
English hospital several weeks.
On his first flight after returning
to active duty he got hit again, this
time severly wounded in his right
leg by a shell which exploded right
in the plane beside him.
Richardson told of his training
period, the courses taken, ETC., and
of his trip overseas. He said it
took him 10 hours to make the
crossing by air, and 10 days to re-
turn on a Canadian hospital ship.
He said the English country was
beautiful with the stone and brick
buildings, some of which were
erected centuries ago. The English
people were wonderful in their
treatment of the Americans.
He told of one combat with a
German fighter in a Folke- Wolff
who came so close to his plane that
he could see the expression on his
face. He said that if he could draw
he could still make a picture of
him, sitting there behind the huge
swastika painted on the fuselage
of the plane.
He figures that the anti-aircraft
defense is just a means of keeping
the planes at a higher altitude
that the direct hits were so rare
as to count as merely luck. Ger
man fighters are smart and brave
and some of them are real sports
men as well. He told of an in
stance of German fighter direct
ing the rescue of crew which had
been shot down and were adrift
i'm the Channel.
Sgt. Richardson expects to be re-
turned to duty as an instructor
following his recovery from his
wounds.

Here Show to Get
Ration Book 8
If Not Received
Stiff penalties for
finagling extra books;
apply local board

An applicant who does not re-
ceive his ration book by the first
Iof August should take his receipt
stub-the top part of the applica-
ton with the receipt number on it
to the local War Price and Ra-
tioning Board. There he will be
given another application to fill
out and sign. The application and
the receipt stub of the original ap-
plication will be checked carefully
against the master file. If the rec
ords do not indicate that a book
was mailed, upon certification that
none was received, the applicant
will be issued a ration book.
The law provides stiff penalties
for the theft or Misrepresentation
of ration book. Anyone guilty Of
stealing books that have been left
at an applicants house by the
postman may be imprisoned for
tampering with the United States
mails. ALI war ration books, re-
CARELESS to whom they are issued,
remain the property of the United
States Government, and their theft
under any circumstances may be
punished under powers granted to
the federal government by the
Second War Powers Act.
Anyone who did not make ap-
'plication for Book III may secure
a book, or books, by going di-
rectly to the War Price and Ra-
tioning Board after August /. No
applications will be received be-
fore that date. Parents of chill
dren born since June 10, may Sc
cure books for them in the same
way.
Members of the armed forces
when living at home, were not in
cluded in the family application
for Book iii. By the time Book
III will be used, a great many |
service people will have changed
their stations and may not need the
book. However, an easy method
of providing the ration book to all |
the members of the service who /
will then need it is being worked
out, and will be ready in plenty
of time.

Growers TO Back
Move TO Recruit
Emergency Help
Organization to be
entirely local this year;
join Yakima next

Anticipating an even greater
shortage next year in
the harvesting and handling Of the
local crops, Kennewick growers
eve planning to cooperate with the
y"'iima Valley Food-For Victory
Farm Lamor committee next year.
This year, with but three major
crops yet to be handled here, it
was thought that the job could be
handled by local agencies, which
will include the Benton-Franklin
extension services.
The plan, which has been eX-
planned to the Highlands Grange,
and which has been endorsed by
them, briefly, includes the re-
cruitment Of local labor during the
peak seasons. This labor is for
both the harvesting and processing
of the crops. Principal effort will
be made to recruit help from the
trailer camps and the families Of
the workers on the projects.
This year the effort will be
largely educational, although a
certain amount Of effort will be
required for the three crops yet
to be handled. Financing Of the
work will be by a nominal charge
madeto the growers for each of the
crops. The charge is to be made on
a tonnage basis, the largest being
on cherries at lie per ton. Other
soft fruits and grapes and toma-
toes for the fresh markets, at four
cents per ton. Asparagus is listed
at eight cents and potatoes at one
cent per ton. This fund, collected
locally will all 60 into the local
fund and will be used on the local
effort alone. Next year, however,
the funds will be included with
those for the entire valley which
has made an outstanding success
this year of recruiting emergency
help for the crops as they have
matured. The big effort in the up
per valley is yet 70 come, however,
when the apple harvest sets in.
The local labor situation right
at present is adequate, according
to local agencies. However, when
the tomato and grape harvest sets
in. there will be another shortage
and local help will be again called
upon to step into the emergency.

If Book 3 does not arrive by

that the correct address wasn't

be that the application was late,

locaI ration boards, one for the

more tires than have been allo-

A representative of one of the

stated that the four major COM

about five per cent of their normal

the barest of workers needs. Fur
thermore, he said that there was
no immediate prospect of relief
until the middle of next year at
the very earliest.

for his relief, for they cannot

the Germans apparently took an
awful beating in that section Of

The Italians are all Laughing and

on the whole don't act so mad.

a good time. The water is as nice
as the stories you read. At least it
seemed so after being inland where
there just wasn't any place to swim
at all. The water here is really
blue alright and has some little
animals in it that when you step
on them a lot of thorns would come
off and you would have to stop
and take them out. - ga
