Council Acts 10
Purchase Lights,
Sell Sell Properly

Light will be cast in some of the
dark corners in Kennewick soon,
following action Of the City Coun-
Gil Tuesday night. The city faith
ers voted to purchase 80 additional
ornamental lights for Kennewick
streets.
The 300-block on Kennewick
Avenue will get first attention,
where five Of the ornamental poles
will be set, in keeping with the
remainder Of the business street.
Other lights will be placed where
they are most needed7in Records
addition, First, Second IND Third
Avenues East and other strategic
points.
With one dissenting vote the
council decided to sell the city pro-
perry between Benton and Auburn
north. Il will only be sold with
the requirement that building
must be started on the property
within 80 days. Buildings must
meet all coming requirements and
must have a minimum ground
floor space Of 2 1000 square feet per
25-foot lot.
Retention Of the lots by the city
to be used as parking space was
discussed but It was felt that they
have had little patronage for that
purpose and would be more valu-
able to the city If they were re-
turned to the tax rolls along with
the additional tax income to be ac-
quired from the buildings.
Councilmen Paul Richmond,
Chuck Neel and Lawrence Scott
were appointed q committee to
negotiate the sale Of the property.
Roger Records appeared before
the council and was granted per-
mission to have his beer license
moved to site on First Avenue,
where he intends to build. The
permission was given subject to
the approval of the new premises
by the State Liquor Control board.
Attorney Chas. Powell appeared
before the council in behalf OF the
Leonard Cab Company. He stated
that the company had insurance
and had complied with other re-
quirements. The council pointed
out that at the time the application
was denied the company had no
insurance filed with the city clerk
and that the present insurance was
not sufficient to meet the require
ments of the ordinance. A COM
mittee was appointed to study
the question.

Another eerviceman writes his
folks Of his version Of the typhoon
on Okinawa. The parents, the L.
NJ. Keenes, have passed It on for
US to share. Harvey Is with the
Engineers on Okinawa.
Dear Folks:
I don't know how legible this
letter Is going to be for I'm writ
ing It on my knee with q smoking
lantern and a camp fire for light.
I'm guarding q lumber pile and
this r. the first chance I've had
to write.
AS I remember, I'd just written
to you after one typhoon had come
and gone and just after I mailed
the letter the second one struck. II
was this later one that did the
damage and before we could get
the wreckage cleared away third
one came, all within 48 hours.
There were bursts OF $50 mph
wind in the steady 125 mph wind.
I suffered no more than everyone
else did although my morale took
q new low, and why not? Very
poor chow, no mail for almost g
week because of otter storms and
then to have my tent wiped of
the ground and all Of my belong
ings muddied up or ruined. Out
Of $50 tents only q stayed up and
that was because they were on the
back side Of the hills. I saw guys
run up a cliff they couldn't have
climbed in calm weather and ]
also saw the same guys crawl back
over that same cliff on their hands
and knees.
The rain blew 50 hard It fell
like buckshot and was 50 thick you
couldn't see ten feet We lost the
roof of our mess hall a. well a
one wing and most Of the roof Of
the shower blew away.
Men stayed wherever they could
find protection, In caves, truck
cabs, ''Gooks," Shelled homes, etc.

Dairy Subsidy
Pay Continues

Some farmers seem to think,
says w. F. Neel, Of the AAA Com
mittee, that the dairy subsidy to
farmers is off. However, the next
regular payment is to be made in
January and dairymen should,
therefore, save all sales slips just
as they have been doing.
To the close Of last quarter BEN
ton county AAA had issued 3477
dairy subsidy drafts amounting to
$110,587.11. This was on 2O,050,-
100 pounds Of milk and 101, 1857
pounds Of butterfat. :.

NATURE DEPT.

The Amt Nature Grand depart
ment comes up with a simple So
luton to an old problem. It's dis
course is entitled. "How to Find
Uses for Potatoes on Account OF
We Have Produced a Record
Crop" or "How to Find a Pair Of
Scissors" First you lose pair Of
scissors out in the back acre. Then
you plow the ground and plant
potatoes. Since potatoes grow so
politically in the Kennewick area
the chances are several to one that
when you harvest the crop you
will discover that a potato has
grown through finger hole Of the
scissors. Your scissors are found,
q little rusty maybe, but found.
At least that was the experience
Of Bernard Kempe of East Ken
newick and the evidence is dis
played in the KCR window.

10y are dropping into the office
to fan the breeze for while. We
asked one this week If he was sur
prised to see the towns growth
after three years absence. INC"

souAwK CLUB
BY the
KENNEw1cK COURIER

Kennewick's chapter Of the In
ternational complaint organization
was much more subdued this week
than usual. Credit for this was
given to the fact that the club
moved into its winter quarters in
. a dark attic where the members
kthered around q warm chimney.
The vice president even had to
prompt the members to get them
into action. The complaints boil
ed down to q symposium on the
subject: "What happened to the
uniforms for the high school
band?" One fairly sensible men,
Der remembered that q campaign
was launched last spring to raise
funds for that purpose, but still
no uniforms are in evidence. III"
he ST. m m r ed apologetically,
more funds are required, why
let's raise more funds - but for
Pete's ache, let's DO SOME
THING!"
