Director Says
Negroes to Be
Permanent Here

Acknowledging that Kennewick
had been singularly free from ne
gro residents in the past, Mrs.
Miller, racial director for the Ma
tional Housing Authority, with
headquarters in Seattle, told local
Kiwanians that from now on there
would be negroes housed here and
that if possible they would be
mixed in with white residents-at
least in the housing project.
Further, she continued, it has
been the experience of other plac-
es that IS percent of the negroes
who movd into a community,
stayed after the emergency. She
illustrated her talk with several
instances of where negro families
had proven better neighbors to
the whites than the white ones.
Her talk was preceded by one by
a professor from the university
who spoke of the Forthcoming
dangers of race difficulties.

Dear Ralph:

Dear Ralph:
Who said it couldn't happen Il
me? Seems to me someone ono,
told me that all you had to d.
in order to get shipped oversee
was get married, or buy car, o.
a house, or most anything inn
portant, and, wham, overseas you
We're! Well, if anyone repeats tina
rumor to you from now on, YOU
can tell them for me that it's true
and if they doubt, well, here
am, the. shining example,
All kidding aside, though, thi!
was no surprise to me, I've beer
expecting the "axe" to fall for Z
len time-I asked for il enough
but they wouldn't release me. Fin.
ally my shore duty just piled up ;
little CPD too much Cthree years
and eight days and SO, came the
inevitable. Would have liked very
much to have had a leave and been
able to show my bride around the
home town-though from the way
Kennewick is growing I'd probably
need guide myself!-before
left, but when things started hap
pening to me-they happened
but fast!
Have nice set-up out here and
like the work, though it is quite
a bit different from the straight
communications work I was doing
in San Diego.
Ran into Lauren Aman the sec.
ond day was here. He's stationed
at a different base than this but
he made flight over to the air
station where i was stationed out
here before reaching this one, my
final destination. Talk about your
coincidents, neither one of us was
stationed at that base, but his
plane came in and just happened
to get myself stuck on a working
party to unload it. We were both
pretty much surprised as we had
run into each other in Diego a
couple of times but neither of us
knew the other was out here!
I know it has been a long time
since wrote, but it isn't because
I haven't intended to or have not
enjoyed the paper. I'd be willing
to pay ten times the subscription
price to keep it coming. I guess
I just kept putting it off until /
finally decided to let you know
again how much i appreciated it
it before you decided ] didn't and
stopped mailing it. Do / make
sense?-That's what I thought!
Well, guess I'd better close be-
fore this letter gets too long-but
I'd like to take this opportunity
to say "hello" to all the folks I
know and wish you and all of them
a Merry Christmas and a Victor
ious new year!
Sincerely yours, Don Larkin,

County Names
Gar
Brown to Curb
Cos Consumption

In an attempt to curb the
consumption of gasoline by var
ious county departments a mil
cage administrator has been ap-
pointed by the Board of Super
visors at the request of the dis
trict office of the Office Of
Price Administration through a
direct appeal by Olin Davis,
former chief clerk of Macomb
County Ration Board No. $3.50.
The mileage administrators is
County Clerk Guy l.. Brown.
Brown will have direct super
vision of all applications for
gasoline rations only insofar as
they pertain to county cars,
these include the sheriffs de-
partment, road commission,
drain commission, prosecutor S
office, welfare, and water de-
partment.
1t is the aim of the OPA to
reduce consumption of gasoline
to a point equal to that of so
per cent Of the gasoline used in
l941, considering an equal num-
Der of cars driven.
Municipalities are exempt
from the jurisdiction of Mileage
Administrator Brown. T h q
means that Mount Clemens, East
Detroit, Roseville, st. Clair
Shores, Armada, and possibly
Warren township would not fall
within Browns authority, nor
any other city or village area
that maintains city or village
officers.
City Clerk Joseph Matthews
has already been appointed to a
similar post for Mount Clemens.
