In Local Trailer Camps

Permits for four new trailer
camps were issued this week by
the local officials. One is to be
located down where the labor

and the other across the street on
Washington, north of the tracks.
Hundreds of trailers are parked
on various farms in the vicinity
and officials promise that there
will be hundreds more of them in
the vicinity in the very near flu
ture.
There are over thousand trail
ers parked at Hanford now it is

Double PARKING
To Draw Tickets
Instead of Warns
Traffic ordinance to be
strictly enforced after
first of month

It'll be along toward the end Of
July before city officials can le-
gally enforce the parallel parking
law, it has been discovered. The
present traffic ordinance specifi-
cally excerpts Kennewick avenue
and a couple Of the cross streets
and il became necessary to pass an
amendment to include all the
streets in town.
The ordinance making the ruling
legal was given its first and Sec
ond readings Tuesday night, with
the third and final reading coming
up in two weeks. Then, five days
after publication, the ordinance
win become an operative law. AS
soon as the ordinance goes into
effect, Chief Of Police Kershaw
says they are going to start writing
tickets, instead of giving warn
ings for double parking.
Along with the ban on double
parking will be some sort Of a
decision on the two-hour parking
limit. Either the signs win be talk
en- down and the ordinance passed
up, or IL will be enforced, along
with the other sections, he says.
With the recent addition Of an
additional highway patrolman and
an extra deputy sheriff for this end
of the county, and the fourth man
on the city force, there win be
enough enforcement officials on
the job to handle the situation.
Another ordinance, one provid-
ing for an emergency appropria-
ton, was also given its first and
second readings. Due to increased
activities, caused by the increase
in population, several of the de-
partments Of the city administra-
ton have run short of their appro-
lpriations. The ordinance win pro-
vide for the operations Of the de-
Ipartments getting dangerously near
the red ink stage. -, .,
Because The attorney and clerk
were both out Of the city, only
routine business was transacted
Tuesday night, other than accept
ing the resignation Of Joe Strad-
ling as councilman from the first
ward. He has accepted a position
as street commissioner and cannot
hold both positions. Mayor Anon
has not announced his appointee
for the vacancy.

Clinton Olson, local Safeway
manager, received word this week
that indictments charging the
Safeway Stores, Inc, with viola
tons Of the antitrust laws, were
dismissed by Federal Judge Rich
ard J. Hopkins of Kansas City,
Kansas.

filed by the company as he ruled

insufficient. The demurrers were
filed to the indictments returned

War Worker Says
Merchants Don't
Give a Damn
Attitude definitely un-
patriotic and harmful
to community
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
According to your quip, Ken
newick natives have to 60 on a
vacation to get hooked" They're
fortunate! All we defense workers
have to do is stay in the twin
"cities." OF course, the merchants
can't stay open one night a week,
and equally of course, all restaur-
ants have to close at the same
time, especially on Sundays.
Would it take any more help
for stores to open one day a week
from noon to 900 pm? That's
what they do in towns where they
want to cooperate. .'. ..s
Would it be impossible fol
restaurant owners to get together
and have at least one place open
when the others are closed? Both
towns are being definitely un-
patriotic, and losing an opportun.

war workers and service men were
so considerably treated that they
planned on settling in that COM
munity after the war. Here, every

sible, and never return IL it Il

It seems that all that has been
printed and preached about help
ing morale" has gone over the
heads Of Pasco and Kennewick
natives, since a subtle sort Of
sabotage is being practiced, with
men having to go to bed hungry
after a hard days work, and even
starting the next day without
breakfast. The most annoying
part of it all is that nobody gives

Records Starting New
Group of Houses ,%aE

Lumber is being unloaded this
week for another group of l6 hous-
es to be erected in the Olmstead
addition by Roger Records. These
houses will be larger than the
group now being completed in the
south part of town, containing
eight, nine and 1000 square feet
of floor space. The previous hous-
es were all smaller than that.
In the near future Records plans
to start another group of 66 houses
on the property now occupied by
the grape vineyard in the west
end of town. When these are COM
pleted Records will have 106 new
houses in this community. His
first group of 10 are completed and
are occupied, while his second
group is rapidly being completed.

Soldier Sees Snow
On African Desert

Somewhere in Africa, May IS
received your letter and sub

morning. BY the time this reaches

quit sending me the Courier, but
I am hoping you will start sending
it again as ! sure appreciate it.
Through no fault of yours, I am
sure, il does not always reach me
in the order they are dated, or
as fast as some Of my other mail,
but I can say the late ones are
read as well as the ones that reach
me on time. Even the March II
assure which reached me on April
was thoroughly gone through.
I landed at Feldela on, Nov. 8
where / saw several days of fight
ing. Since then I have seen quite
a lot of Africa. We wintered out
on the desert in a hole dug under
a pup tent. 1t wasn't so cold, but
we did have some snow. ,.. .rs...
As the war is over here in Az
RIGA, at least on the ground, we
are all staying ready for the time
to come for us to open the door in
to Europe and am sure we viii
make this invasion as successfully
as we did our last. 49,. /
Tell all the folks ! used to know
around Kennewick that send my
best regards and wishing yourself
and your paper the best Of luck
in the future, / will close. /

Kennewick Boy
Takes Part in
African Battles
Glad to get SPAN after
long liet Of hash; says
water was scarce

Here is another letter of thanks
from soldier in Africa:
received a letter, along with
the last paper that I missed. The
letter was dated March 8, and the
naper April l; both arriving yes
terday June 10), and which were
both welcome. I always look for
ward to receiving the paper with
all of its news of what is going
on back home. +.
At the time you printed your
letter and paper you said some
thing about a decent place to sleep.
II might have been a bit cramped
I'D at times, but if you were tired
enough the 155 shells never both
cred any until Jerry's 88's re-
turned fire on us.
And as for eating, we were
damned glad to get SPAN, as we
seemed to be on a diet of hash
three times a day. Water was
the biggest problem, for at times
there would be a big lapse in our
water supply. know in one day
out there while swapping lead
with Rommel's troops, / chewed
three plugs Of tobacco to keep
my mouth wet.
I came over here at the begin
ming and made the landing at
Fedela. And what day! A day
that I will never forget!
/ fought almost all the time
from November 8 until May 8, on
which day Rommers forces in
Africa gave up. And in that pc
Rod Of six months was in the
following battles:
Casablanca-a three-day battle
with the French.

Of the French surrender at Casa
blanca until February II, on which

Seventh infantry to the 186th in
fantry. Then started the real fight
with Rommel. We were on the
move from then on. !. > r
! was in the battle of Fondauk
and Kaimon, and from there we
moved in on the Germans, al
though at Fondauk we were
shelled by 88's and more Stukas
came over and dive-bombed us
every day. ..s........
Then in Beta and right on up
to Hill SIS, which took us two
days to gain. Then to Hill 473.
which we hit at dawn and took
that. Then came Hill 6O9, where
we really fought our way through
70 Matureh. Then we hiked IL
miles before we hit the Jerrys-
mat being the last phase of the
battle, for six or seven days later
we got word that Tunis and BIZ
zerte had fallen to the Allied
troops. That day was May 9Th.
That is all I can think of at
ne present time, but I am sure
!. IS enough. Thanks again for
