City Growth
Creates Need for
More Precincts
New population over
crowds voting places;
2 to a more precincts

Because of the large vote cast
inside the city limits in the gen
eral election, il has become neces-
sary to divide the wards into
smaller precincts. Recently the
three wards We're cut up into four
voting precincts. The division
took part Of two wards which
caused confusion in the election
Of city officers. Still there were
too many ballot cast in each pre-
cinct.
At the suggestion of the county
election board, the city will again
divide the wards, making six to
eight voting precincts instead OF
the four as now listed. This will
provide for a special precinct to
include the housing unit and also
for an additional one for the Mob
Hill section when and il that area
becomes a part Of the city.
A special committee was ap-
pointed by acting mayor A. w.
Campbell Tuesday night to change
the ward boundaries, SO as to in
clude a natural boundary line for
the new voting precincts.

Chamber to Ask
7 or Airport unds

Last Sundays dailies printed a
list of towns slated to receive fed
eral funds for improvements to
their airports. In the long list,
Kennewick was prominent among
the missing. At today's meeting
of the chamber of commerce, the
matter was brought out on the
floor for discussion.
It was pointed out that Kenne-
wick's location would make the
future of aviation important in
the development of this region.
The discussion resulted in a mo-
ton to have a special aviation
department of the club organized
who are to outline possible de-
velopments and keep the club in
formed on the developments.
The same group will make eff
forts to have KenneWick included
in the CAA program of post war
improvements.

An outstanding record in bond
purchases is being made by Rich
land, according to Cox, and chair
men of other cities in the county
report fine results. So many bond
buyers are rushing the Richland
bank that one window is practi-
cally devoted to that purpose
alone, Cox said. Another excel
lent source of bond sales is the
booth in the. local theater, where
buyers may obtain free tickets to a
special War Bond movie through
their purchases.
Vice-chairman of the county and
chairman of Benton City bond
sales is j. C.. Howard. Mrs. Ethel
Van SICKLE, teacher in the Lewis

Richland: With their first game
just two weeks away, the Rich

Hoff here today.
Out of 25 boys who answered
the call for basketball practice
last week, only six are hold-overs
from last years squad, and of
these, just three Were on the fins
team. While il is hoped to have
at least 16 games this year, eight
of them at home, only IL have
been scheduled so far by e. +.
Phinney, principal of Columbia
high.
The school faces a difficult ra-
tioning problem because of the
shortage of available seating space
in the Richland gymnasium this
year, according to Phinney. The
bleachers in the gym will seat only
about SO, and by adding benches
around the floor, another 200 or
$50 may be accommodated, while
the anticipated attendance may go
considerably over the available
space. The problem will be met,
Phinney said, by taking care of
the local students on season tick
cts, arranging to seat all visiting
students and allocating the rest
of the room the townspeople, as
far as it goes.
Boys on the basketball squad
are Bob Adams, Lon Blauvet,
Howard Brewer, Bill Cave, Van

sufficient.

Housing Director
Tells Clublnen Of
Units Activities
Recreation program
and facilities explained
to Kiwanis club e.

Calling attention. to the fact
that the new Federal Housing
unit south of town, now in full
operation, contains more people
than was listed in the entire city
limits two years ago, E. G. Smith,
executive director explained some
of the problems eepfronting the
operational end to- members Of
the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
With more than 1900 people iv-
in in the eighty-odd acres in the
project, the congestion is greater
than anything hitherto known in
Kennewick. So many people must
have things to do, places to go
and things to eat and wear, Mr..
Smith said. He pointed out that
many of the facilities were being
provided, especially for the chill
dren.
Two large outdoor playfields,
with sport equipment and slides,
chutes and other devices arriving
each week, are provided. The
grounds are seeded and even in
the trailer areas, grass is being
planted to relieve the dust situa-
ton which was so annoying in
the construction stages.
A fine community house has
been provided and Mr.. Smith and
his assistants are providing pro-
grams for almost continuous use,
both for adults and the children.
This facility is in addition to the
day nursery which now has a
daily attendance of forty or more
pre-school age children, Smith
said.
He also pointed out that the ia
cilities of the project were not
limited to the use of the renters,
but would be thrown open to
other citizens for use when there
is no confliction in programs.
