Lions Eliminated
Ia State
i tournament
Bellingham takes first
M-20 and Olympia the
second today 1881

The KenneWick Lions basketball
team, now in Seattle participating
in the state tournament, have been
eliminated from the championship
by their two defeats. Yesterday
they took the short end of a 1920
score from Bellingham, team
which averaged six feet four and a
half inches. The small, young
Kennewick team was smothered
from the outset by the towering
pines from the upper section.
Today, playing against the fast,
highly-touted Olympia quintet,
they suffered their second defeat,
although they were over their spell
of stage fright and put up stiff
game to take the little end of a
1881 score.
The boys are staying over to see
tomorrow's games, where Ellens-
burg, No. 2 in the Yakima Valley
League, after defeating Winlock
yesterday, will play Olympia. The
Kennewick lads beat Ellensburg
to take first place in the state
tournament and much interest is
being taken in the next game.
In today's game, Kennewick had
a .one-point lead at the end of the
third quarter, when the score was
1922. In the last quarter Kauth
and Perkins were foslled out, and
the second string lads couldn't
keep up the pace.

"Kennewick will have its airport

Kiwanis club il its Tuesday
luncheon. Equipment has now
been shipped, and work will pro-

The airport, owned by the city Of
Kennewick, was leased to the navy
two years ago, and work started.
Plans changed, and the develop
ment was halted short of the orig
iaginal schedule, the use being
limited to that Of auxiliary in the
primary training course. The new
plan will call for full improve
ment, including operational equip
ment for training combat squad
rons for aircraft carrier type of
flying. Capt. Smith spoke highly
Of the advantages of the climate
and terrain of this country for
flight training, he expressed pleas.

extend its operations i'm this
manner SO that the program

war is won and the navy has no
further use for the field, il will be
returned to the community in

Local Ration
Board 10 Have
Direct Authority
To hold hearings and .
enforce penalties for
violations of code

Greater authority enabling the
local OPA board s'to deal di-
rectly with price violators" within
its jurisdiction has been granted
by district officials, it was an
nounced by Chairman c. E. Ridley.
Effective Immediately" Mr..
Ridley said, "the price control
committee of our board will be
able to take a definite, active part
in the governments efforts to
smash black market Operations
and price chiseling."
The committee now has the
authority to hold hearings and
act on all complaintsh filed by
consumers or unearthed by OPA
agents.
Upon determination of fact, it
will have the power to move in
various ways against. the vio-
lator. It may, at its discretion,
recommend that the violator be
permitted to make a voluntary
payment to the u. S. Treasury OF
an amount equal to the total over
charges involved. It also will have
the right to negotiate refunds
by the violator to those he over
charged.
Further, it will have the pow
er to recommend that license
suspension warning be issued to
the violator and, in fragrant or
repeat cases, that legal action
be taken to suspend or revoke his
right to deal in the commodity
involved. Finally, they will have
the power to recommend criminal
prosecution.
Chairman c. E. Ridley said the
new powers will result in a "heav-
Ter work load" for the volunteer
members of the local board. "But,"
he pointed out, "it also means that
we, in our own community, have
been given at least some of the
tools we need to conduct our own
enforcement program"
Chairman Ridley said that the
local boards most urgent need
now is the sincere and active sup
port of consumers
Z "We have long passed that stage
in the progress of the war;" he
said, where black market opera
tons and price chiseling should
continue to be tolerated as some
thing humorous or inoffensively
smart. The home-front soldier has
duty-that of reporting to the
government all violations detri-
mental to the battle against in
flation. "
''Henceforth, when our price
control committee receives such
complaints it will be able to act
with force" r.

Ration Board
Endorses Night
Store Hours
Causes big savings in
gas and tires, chair
man believes.

ED Neuman should be given
a medal, or at least some public
recognition" Chairman G. E. Rid
ley of the local rationing board
stated today. ''Neuman, since he
has inaugurated his new store
hours, has saved more gas and
manpower in this community than
any other man in it, / do believe, /"
Ridley continued.
ellis new store hours have saved
many a man employed on the
nearby project from laying off
work long enough tos get into a
store to get supplies for his fam
lily. Being near his home, the
more convenient hours have also
made it possible to save on gaso-
line and tires" Ridley said.
''This is project in which all
Kennewick merchants should
intellectually cooperate WITH =
Ridley continued. "Our gas and
tire situation promises to become
even more acute than it is now
any anything which can be done
to save either, to say nothing OF
the loss of workman on the
project, is worthy of real cooper
alton. During this emergency j!
does seem that everyone should
do everything in hsS power to
help in every way possible, even
though it might add to the mer
chants difficulties-of which he
already has enough, it is con-
coded.
"Neuman's change certainly has
the endorsement of the local ra-
tioning board"

Farmers Sign for
l35 Laborers;
800 or 400 Needed
Little prospect of the
southerners returning
this year

The farm labor situation looks
dark to the committee having in
charge the business of shipping in
Mexican nationals to help with the
local harvests this season. Be-
cause there is no great likelihood
of the government transported
labor from the southern states re-
turning this year, the situation is
even darker than last year.
Under the new government set
up the Mexicans must be guar
anteed jobs before being allowed
to enter the country. The commit
tee feels that at least 300 will be
needed, but SO far only 135 have
been contracted for, although, the
committee is taking chance tina:
there will be a later rush, and have
asked for $50 anyway. If this
number cannot be contracted fol-
by the end of this month, only
those signed up will be permitted
to come in.
While the transported farm
labor from the southern states is
again available under certain con-
ditions, the government will NOT
pay transportation charges for
them this year. Releases from the
local county agents are also neces-
sary in those states and these
releases are difficult to obtain, for
employers in those areas want
their labor supply to remain un-
changed.
However, some few of those who
were here last year have already
secured local jobs and some have
paid their own fares out here and
are on the jobs now. It is not
thought likely that many more
will make the trip at their own
expense, even though most of them
were glad to get the comparatively
high wages paid in this area.
The committee has until the end
of this month to get actual re-
quests for this outside labor, after
which no more will be available.

 TO TOY CENTER

The Toy Center is a community undertaking not merely Wo- mans Club project-and must have help quickly if the needs of the lessifortunate and under-p privileged children of this community are to be met, according to an announce ment made at the Woman's Club luncheon yesterday by Mrs. John Mccormick.

 Miss Madge Muchmore. Chairman of the Woman's Club Welfare Der partment, also reminded club mem bers yesterday that there are many old men and women who will be without holiday greetings and re- membranes unless the younger citizens of Juneau take gifts for them to the Toy Center, which will give these to the proper per- sons to insure their delivery on Christmas.
 Miss Muchmore was delightful program chairman who, because of the nature of the program, acted as her own speaker. She explained the need of foster homes for or phan children in Alaska; the re- ouirements to be met, the monetary etc, and the spiritual satisfaction to be gained by pro- Ividing such homes.
 The speaker also told of the loneliness of many patients in the hospitals, particularly old persons, and urged that the club members and others in the community con- tact her by telephoning 24l in order that she can give them the names of these patients.
