III usicians Plan
To Revise Old
Schubert Club
Plan Christmas con-
cert; need more singers
to round organization
(WNU Service)

The Schubert Club, Kennewick's
pioneer choral club, is again COM
ing to life after two-year inter-
mission due to rapidly shifting
population. This was the decision
of its officers at a meeting held
Tuesday evening of this week at
the home of the club president,
Mrs. Harold G. Fyfe. 4
The Schubert Club has taken a
leading part in musical circles of
the community for the ten years
preceding the beginning of the
war. Since population shifting has
declined considerably, the officers
believe that, with the former men,
bers still resident, and the addi-
ton of new talent, a suitable sized
chorus may be recruited.
Plans call for beginning re-
hearsals next week to prepare a
concert for the Christmas season,
and a cordial invitation is ex-
tended to any new residents of
the community, or to any other
persons in the district, who are
interested in taking part in choral
singing, to contact the club men,
berS. More talent is needed in all
voices, and interested men and
women should cali Mrs. Frank
Maupin, phone 1921, who will
make arrangements for member
ship. The officers wish to have
a membership of not less than 40
voices, so that all inquiries will be
really appreciated.

Port and PUD to
Hold Elections

In addition to the general cleo
ton, there will be three other
municipal elections held here that
for selection and there will be a
port district election to select two
new officials and one for the Ben
ton County PUD board.
In the port district the term of
A. I. Smith expires. He has long
been a member of the board and
has also served as secretary. He
has had enough and refuses to be-
come a candidate for reelection.
The other vacancy was caused by
Commissioner r. E. Reed changing
residence, creating the second va
cancy.
At the chamber of commerce
meeting this noon the candidates.
of Pat Owens, from district No. l
and Fred Mills from district No. 3
were endorsed. Both of these men
are interested in the development
of the port business and the cham
Der is anxious to support candi-
dates who are keen about the de-
velopment of the project. P. G..
Richmond is the 'holdover member.

Richland Schools
Start This Week
On Double Shift
Lack room to house
lower grades. new
building under way

Richland-Double shifting, long
"a necessity in war plants, made
its appearance in Richland schools
this week as swing shift classes
were added to all eight grades at
the Sacajawea grade school. Lack
of room, rather than a shortage
of teachers, was given by Superin-
tendent of Schools R. H. Fergin
as the reason for separating the
classes into two groups.
Upon completioR of the new
Marcus Whitman grade school and
an addition to the Lewis school
regular schedules will be rein
stated, according to Mr.. Fergin.
School construction, which is given
high priority in Richland, is ex-
pected to be virtually finished
early in December.
Unaffected at the present time
are the grade classes in the Lewis
and Clark, and Jefferson grade
school, although the kindergarten
classes have been abolished in all
schools to make more rooom for
other groups.
At the Sacajawea, first shift
classes start at eight in the morn
ing, except for the first and second
grades which begin at $3.50, and
continue to 1890. The second, or
swing, shift goes to school from
l pm. to $50.

plays will mark the observation of

gineer H. p. Jones, who said that
of the more than 100000 fires that
occurred in the United States last
year, approximately 10000 of them
were in war plants.
"The chief cause of fires, in or
der of their importance, are care
less smokers, failure to properly
maintain heating and electrical
equipment and allowing rubbish
to accumulate until it is -ignited
by stray sparks" Jones added.
The Fire Prevention program
will begin this weekend with the
delivery to all Richland homes of
a chick list of safety questions and
answers. Bulletins will be distrib-
uted to supervisors and fire war
denS in all schools and office

ings will be held. All offices and

against the check list furnished
them. Thursday has been desig-
mated as collection and disposal"
day. On this day all the accumu-
lated rubbish removed from homes
offices and business houses will be
picked up and removed.
On Friday, there, will be fire
drills in all offices and schools.
Climax of Fire Prevention Week

fire department on Saturday, at
the base ball park, George WASH
ington Way, just north of the JEFF
ferson grade school. The exhibit
ton, which will start at Sis pm,
