Health Officer Warns
About Rat InfestatiOn

The State Department of Health
field crews are now sampling the
rat population of Kennewick in
order to determine whether the
rats and mice are carriers Of di-
Sease. The common causes of rat
infestation about premises are due
to the inadequate garbage col
lection and disposal, as well as
the improper storage of food for
human consumption and of animal
and poultry feed. Garbage should
be kept in metal garbage cans
with tight fitting metal covers and
care should be taken to see that
the can covers are. kept on the
garbage cans at all times. Premi-
ses should be maintained free of
debris, such as junk, scrap lumber,
etc. If its necessary to keep lum-
Der or wood above the ground
raise the pile two feet about the
ground and away from walls or
buildings. Keep poultry and ami
NAL feed in metal or rat PROCEED
containers. Keep premises clean;
remember to use only metal gar
bage cans and keep their covers
on day and night.
The KenneWick Garbage Dump
has been poisoned and trapped by
the State Department of Health
field crews and they report ex-
ceptionally good results for their
efforts.

been following the war activities.
Gene, an exceptionally well liked

Time Now TO
File for
City Offices
Six councilmen, clerk,
attorney and mayor
jobs to be filled

There's a whole flock of city
jobs about to be vacant-and they
are pay jobs, too, now. The office
of mayor, city clerk, city attorney
and six of the seven councilmanic
jobs will be vacant after the first
of the year:
IL you want one Of these jobs,
all that's necessary is to take $40
down to the city hall before Friday
OF next week-and then beat any
one who runs against you.
Except for the clerk and at
torney positions, the jobs pay SIS
for each nights work.
The one holdover councilman is
L. z. Scott in the second ward.
All the others will have to make
the race for election. In the first
ward, Councilman II. b. Holden
and j. A. Cox are both appointees,
holding until the next election
only. Both men would probably
consent to be candidates should
any pressure be laid upon them.
There are no other prospects yet
brought to light as competitors
for them.
In the second ward, the term Of
Howard Beste expires. He's not
too anxious to run again, but he,
too, would if properly urged. Scot
ty is a holdover and need make
no campaign. Larry Oliver, coun-
cilman-at-large is also from the
second ward. His term expires
too, and says he doesn't think he'll
be candidate, but if things de-
velop he'll make the race.
In the third ward Councilman
Art Campbell is definitely can
didate. He wants to serve on the
council and says he'll put up the
best race he knows, should anyone
run against him. The other Of
flee is vacant, caused by the re-
moval of Art Carpenter from the
ward. 1t has not been filled by
appointment.
City Attorney c. L. Powell has
too much other business to take on
the city grief again, he says. He
has served 10 years already. City
Clerk Campbell has also had
enough of il, she reported today
and will not be a candidate for
reelection. The only other public
office, that of city treasurer, does
not expire this year, and Judge
Huntington will not be compelled
to dig up a filing fee this time. ~

Grape Harvest
Half Colnpleied

Harvesting Of Kennewick's grape
crop is about half completed, Man.
ager F. M. Ludlow reported today
at the regular chamber of COM
merce meeting. He said the crop
would be the ightest he had known
since he first came with the COM
pany, II years ago. He said the
crop in this end of the valley was
from a quarter to a third short and
in some places growers were har-
vesting but a third of a crop. He
attributed the damage to the heavy
hail storm here earlier in the sea-
son which brok off a large per-
centage of the fruit spurs.
Mr.. Ludlow also stated that the
firm was depending considerably
upon Mexican labor for the plant
operation, particularly for tn e
night shifts as well as a large crew
being employed in the vineyards.
The firm is currently employing
about 100 of the nationals.
