Community Chest
Drive Exceeds
Quota This Year
Ten beneficiaries are
listed by committee;
also help children

The community chest drive this
year went over the top, according
to report made to the chamber
of commerce this noon by Urban
Koelker. The quota had been raised
from last year, on account of the
increased demands, but even at
that, the figure was exceeded.
His report of the meeting of the
committee last night, showed that
the following beneficiaries had been
paid: Boy Scouts, $125. This money,
Koelker explained, went to the Blue
Mountain council for supervisory
work for the district. Washington
Children's Home, at Spokane, $125.
This institutions operation ex-
penses have increased, along with
every other enterprise, Koelker said.

ion that no solicitation be made in
town during the year.
The Camp Fire organization was
given $75 for their work in this
area. The school cafeteria was given
$40 again this year, with the All
clubs again receiving $50. The Ben
ton County health clinic was given
$50 this year. This money is to help
with school children's glasses,
splints, crutches, etc., for those fam
lilies who cannot afford to buy them.
The chest made up the deficit of
$57.55 remaining from the purchase
of the SO boxes of apples given to
the boys at the navy base in Pasco
at Christmas time, while $19.46 was
spent for printing and postage.

Highlands at Top
In Per Acre !.
Crop Production
Cherries, 1853 acres, are
highest cash producers;
grapes largest crop

From a production standpoint
the Kennewick Highlands irrigated
area is among the nations top
most money-makers, according tt
the current crop report from the
Bureau of Reclamation. The area
averaged $139.72 per acre officially
which is considerably below the
actual figures, according to Man.
ager E.. j. Brand, who collected the
data. Some farmers refused to
supply their complete production
figures, he states. Il
The high figure. is. all the more
remarkable, he states, in that 1t
has risen in recent years from only
$40 per acre to a figure four times
as large. The production returns
have jumped the last year from $101
per acre TO just under $40. -
The project consists of 4,107 acres,
of which 3,411 were in actual use.
It consists of 1913 farms operated
with nine not operated last year.
More than 200 acres are occupied
by buildings, yards, highways, rights
of way, etc., while duplicated areas
(those bearing two crops) amounted
to 1873 acres. -
For the first time in several
years, cherries led the cash returns.
There are 1853 acres Of cherry or
chards on the Highlands and these
poduced at the rate of $471.73, ac-
cording to the report. Tonnoge Of
production was captured, however,
by grapes, to which there are de-
voted 459 acres, which produced
4.655 ,495 pounds, with per acre
return of $152.14. .
The second best crop last year
proved to be berries, although there
we're but 10 acres devoted to this
crop, which paid off at the rate of
s350.21 per acre. Third on the list
Of cash producers was the A acres
Of dry onions, which brought in
cash at the rate of $322.05 per acre.
Asparagus is the largest single
;rop on the Highlands, with 789
acres devoted to its production.
More than two million pounds of

FLIGHT STRIPS
By R. MAXIM

On Monday, November 8, End It. Reginald K. Hoddinott, this organization left for aviation cadet school. When he left us, we lost lost one of the best officers, and regular guys that any enlisted man had the privilege to know. His in terest in the men, his good fellow ship, his fair play, and his sports manship have given every man in his command a bright light.
 We were all sorry to see him go. But we were glad, that he went to better himself. We all hope, that in the course of life, that we may meet him again. The men of this flight, saluate you, It. Hod- dinott, for all that you are. We have been privileged to serve un- der you.
 Wedding bells are definitely sounding for Sgt. Bert Nader, Sgt. Red Roberts, and S/Sgt, Larry Newquist. Whats going on here? Ever since It. Sponburgh, the nav igator, came into this organization, TISgt. Dick P. Morris has been go- ing around with sextant to, as he says "shoot the sum-" If he keeps that up much longer, somebody's going to have to shoot him. Benny Truitt must be missing something, because his wife is coming up here again. She's travelling all the way from Georgia.
 Immediately after pay day, most of our men have been asking to take out allotments. Wonder what's the reason? All you guys see the new car Mentecki's got? Joe Man delion is happy again. He went home this week to see his Annie? ?
 Notice there has been some stacking off on the practice for our first game. "Hodd" won't like to hear about that. Whats wrong, no more inspiration |? We'll all you guys, that's about all for now. See you later.

 Rumor hath it that the Lip doesn't like Vaughan, for sticking up for oBbo; that he doesn't like Billy Herman, because Billy wants up for Bobo; that he doesn't like Luis Olmo, the Puerto Rican out fielder, because Luis doesn't bring him pretty flowers.
 The boys at Left Field Louie's chestnut corner can't figure it out and Left Field Louie himself is as befuddled as the best of them. As a matter of fact, he has put his la ment into verse. To wit: Is it Holman, Vern, or Erlmo, boys ? Colt Davis, Bordygary? Is it Mickey Owens brother, Koiby Highe's mother? Or is it Typhoid Mary? It is Joe, the popcorn salesman,

Frothingham Wins
 Golf Championship

The finals of the Bradley Field Officers Golf Championship were finally played Sunday, November 7th over the Wampanaug Country Club course, on day which pro vided the finalists with ideal con- ditions. The results showed that the conditions were of more bene- fit to Captain John Frothingham, the medalist of the tourney, than to It. "Gundar" Haigh, the other finalist. Buckingham shot blaz- ing "A against a total of 79 for the "Gundar over the par 72 champ ionship course.
 It. Haigh's defeat was due to the red hot butter and miraculous chip shots of the medico. The fact that Frothingham only needed a total of thirteen butts for the first sixteen holes shows that his chip ping and putting was more han superb. "Gundar" managed to gar ner himself one hole on the front nine when he gathered unto him self an eagle three on the par five 470 yeard fifth hole. A slice on his tee shots bothered the "Gundar" wee bit.
 Frothingham closed cut the match with a par four on the thir teenth hole, six up and five to play and the round was finished out merely for the exercise in accord ance with First Air Force directly es.

Who's the Guy That Leo
 Doesn't Like?

Back of Ham Healy's saloon on New Lots Avenue, there's a tree grows in Brooklyn and if you just sit under it long enough why soon- CT or later fellow is almost cer- tain to come up to you and say:
 "Who's the guy that Lippy Leo doesn't like?''
 He will be referring, no doubt, to the celebrated remark made by Leo Durocher, the big bell COW of the Brooklyn Dodgers, on the hap py occasion of his reinstatement as manager of the Buns for the com ing campaign. On that great day the Lip said that-despite some ugly rumors he had heard-he real ly loves every last Bum on the team "with the exception of one man."
 We'll, who IS the guy that Lippy Leo doesn't like?
 This, of course, is the burning question of the hour all along Mon- tague Street. It is also being asked between sips of potheen on New Utrecht Avenue, on the Parkway, up and down Myrtle Street and in the public baths at Prospect Park. You can even smell it mingled with the herring scent in the evening breezes that wait up from Gawa- nus and hear it in the thunder of the waves that beat on Brighton's noble shores. It's on every lip in Brownsville and every ear in Greenpoint is Tapping for the an- swer all Canarsie wants to know.
 WHO'S the guy that Lippy Leo doesn't like?
 Speculation runs high on this question among the clan of faith ful that gathers every afternoon around the old hot stove in front of Left Field Louie's chestnut stand at the corner of Flatbush and De Kalb. There every effort is made to get to the hub of the problem, as the saying goes.
 "All I gotta say is," says Dan Parker's friend Jeremiah Francis Looney, the three button elevator man with hash marks under each of his eyes, "is that it better not be Dixie. If they let Dixie go, it'll be the rawrest deal they ever done in Brooklyn"
 Jeremiah speaketh of Dixie Walker, first in the hearts of all Flatbush, who has been mentioned most prominently as the man that Lippy Leo doesn't like. It is report ed that bad cess developed between Dixie and his manager during the season.
 Bad cess, for that matter, deve- loped between the Lip and quite a number of his athletes during the season. One day Bobo Newsom squawked when Durocher dressed him down while Bobo was dressing up to go out. The Lip then sus- pended Bobo and the whole team went on strike. Branch Hickey, the Number One man on the Dodgers, fired Bobo and ended the strike, sending Arky Vaughan, leader of
