Engineers Here
ToFinish Survey

Engineers Of the Reclamation
Bureau are In the Kennewicle' Dis
trict completing surveys for the
Highlands Irrigation project
Three men are working under the
direction Of Boyd Austin, engin.
Ger from Salem Oregon.
The main part Of their Job con-
sists Of figuring costs Of direct
pumping from the Yakima river
near Kiona. Under the original
plan water would have been taken
from the Prosser dam, carried
down the north bank to point
near Kiona where Il would have
been used to develop power to
pump the water some 200 feet
up the south bank from which
point il would be distributed.
Present plans eliminate the
power plant, using instead power
furnished by the Bonneville adj
ministration. This would reduce
the cost Of construction Of the
project.

For.
Boys Promised

More than IS air minded boys
met at the Kennewick High school
auditorium on Wednesday, Octo-
Der 10, after school and spent a
busy hour looking at model air
planes, airplane kits, tools, model
gas engines, and model trains, and
discussing the fun and benefits
to be derived from organizing q
model airplane club.
Under the guidance of Al Hilge-
man Of the USO and jeff Atwood,
a local business man and model
airplane enthusiast, the boys de-
cided to form a club and appointed
a group Of eight to draw up plan
Of organization.
The organization committee con-
sists Of Don Pick, Bob Lucas, Joe
Paris, Wilmer McKewen, Vern
Bailey, Richard Anterior, Carl
Dahlberg and Monty Cloyd, met at
the USO Area office on Monday
evening, Oct. IS, and drew UP
rules and regulations to be pre-
sented to the club for considers
ton at the official meeting. Hav-
ing drawn up tentative rules for
the club, the organization commit
tee then went to the Kennewick
Park View Homes and visited the
hutment, the proposed place for
future club meetings.
E. G. Smith, manager Of the
housing authority, had generously
offered the use Of the hutment for
this purpose, and when the boys
examined It they expressed great
enthusiasm about the possibilities.
It seemed to be perfect for both
club meetings and for q model
airplane work shop, and being
right adjacent to an open area,
models could be flown immediate
~ upon completion and given the
finishing touches" under actual
1ight conditions.
Plans are under way now to
equip the hutment with work
benches, stools, q table for power
equipment such as q jig saw, table
saw, and lathe, a book case, cab
inets for club equipment and q
browsing center with current mo-
del airplane magazines, books and
literature on various aviation sub
jects.

souAWK CLUB
BY the
KENNEWICK COURIER

The recently organized Avenue
C. branch of the local Squawk
Club held an indignation meeting
this week discussing things in
general, and one or two things
in particular. One Of their COM
plants was in regard to the Co.
lumbia River or a segment there
of. The segment in question -
that part that backs up south
of the island and ceases to be a
river and becomes a stagnant
abomination. "It's like talking
about the weather." remarked one
of the new complainers, nobody
does anything about it." The Army
Engineers plan to do something
about it, or maybe the Avenue
C'rs haven't heard about that.
