Hospital Need

Due to the fact that the lowest
bid on the hospital contract was
far in excess of the funds allo-
Gated for the purpose, Kennewick
is in grave danger Of losing the
hospital unless additional funds
amounting to some 500, 900 can be
allocated.
This matter was the subject Of q
full discussion at the Thursday
noon session Of the Chamber Of
Commerce. The consensus was
that government officials must
be Immediately informed of the
need for the hospital,
This can be accomplished best
through kilograms and letters,
preferably air mail, to our con-
gressional delegation. Address
Communications to Representa-
tives Hal Holmes, Walt Koran,
John Coffee, Hugh De Lacy, Hen
ry Jackson and Charles Savage,
and Senators Hugh Mitchell and
Warren G. Magnuson.
It was pointed out that Benton
is the only major county in the
state without a hospital for civil
ian population. Further, with the
end of the war and the beginning
of construction Of the Umatilla
dam, need for the hospital will
be greatly increased. Our war
time population is still four times
the pre-war figure.

Prove Charges

The American people have re-
ceived news Of barbaric atrocities
perpetrated by the Nazis with
shocked incredulity. Such inhu-
manities seemed beyond belief.
News reel companies have prepar-
ed films showing these atrocities
which are showing this week end
and next week at local theatres.
(See theatre ads in this issue.)
Allied troops, advancing inside
crumbling Germany, uncovered
evidence of horrible, organized
German atrocities. At the Buchen-
wald concentration CAMP crema-
ton ovens still held incompletely
burned bodies.
At Ohrdruf, American soldiers
took German officials on a guided
tour through a camp where 1000
were murdered in four months.
At Arnstadt and at Nordhausen
were more victims. Army medics
brought aid to living dead, lying
helpless among the completely
dead. Germans were marched in
to Nordhausen to dig graves for
the murdered. These and countless
other crimes against humanity
committed by the Germans must
not be forgotten as the world plans
for peace.
On the same bills are interest
ing pictures. of the first days Of
the San Francisco conference.

Respect The Busy Little Beetles
Mans Most Needed Benefacior

By George Paige and Walter Click
Bees and other pollinatiAg In
sects are as important to man a.
the air he breathes. This may
seem to be q far-fetched statement
unless one gives the matter con-
siderable study and thought.
Most Of us have observed the
busy little bee a he goes from
blossom to blossom gathering nee
tar which we supposed was for
its own use and for the making Of
honey, and at times have consider.
ed it as only a pesky and annoying
little insect.
Exhaustive scientific studies Of
bees and other pollinating insects
reveal their true importance to
mankind. In fact, their impor-
lance to mankind Is proven by q
recent order from Director Of Sc
lective Service classifying bee
keepers as an essential agriculture
activity, and essential to the war
effort, and granting, deferment

Housing Picture

To get picture of the housing
situation in this area a discussion
meeting was held in Pasco Monday
night. Two representatives OF the
Federal Housing Authority were
present. A number Of city and

be released soon for the construc-
ton of H-2 houses. These are
three bedroom homes which will
range in cost up to $500.

Featured at the Saturday lunch
con meeting Of the Mid Column
bia Boosters club was Karl Grimm
who reviewed the proposed pfAna
for the construction Of the Una

He stressed the fact that the
engineers win not plans COM

Since any OF, al Of these plans
are subject to change, he stated
that it Il the wish Of the enei-
neers that no private or COM

"Al plans may be changed"
Grimm quoted the engineers, 'No-
thing il positive except that the
dam will be built" =
Vic Marshall Of the state high
way department and County Com
missioner Jay Perry were present
and discussed the status Of the
road to the damsite. They said
that the present road with some
improvements and an extension on
the southern end would serve the
need and could Be ready for use
in q very short time.
Plans are being considered by
the engineers to use housing facil-
tiles in Kennewick and Pasco for
the construction workers rather
than to build new town at the

housing authority went to Olymp-
ia last week where he furnished
Governor Wallgren with all data

The governor plans to discuss the
matter with Secretary Harold
