In way this is a less complex
problem than the one we shall be
facing. We must make a transit
ton from war economy to peace,
trying to retain the advantages we
have gained from increased pro-
ductivity, and avoiding the cata-
clysmic drop that an uncontrolled
transition will inevitably bring.
If we are not careful, our rebuild

The real test of our wisdom as

Then, in May of 1872, when
the Naval Reserve Aviation Base
was established at Pasco, Cohen
along with 20 other recruits, were
hustled aboard trucks and trans
ported here to form the nucleus
of the MAS Pasco crew and take
up duties as seaman guardsmen.
The days that followed have be-
come colorful legend that is part
of this stations history. The "Dlr-

selves, had only one building and
an assortment of mattresses-no
beds to begin their duty here.
They obtained their chow in town:

Richland Is
Speaker 5 Topic

Norman Fuller, of the Area En-
gineers at Richland, was the fea-
tured speaker at the Tuesday noon
meeting of the KenneWick XII
wants club. In an informative
talk, he outlined the origin and
operation of the community.
According to Mr.. Fuller, Rich
land is government housing pro-
ject. Rentals charged for the fur
nished houses are relatively low,
there being many duplexes and
some individual units. Some are
pre- fabricated having been
brought there already built with
furniture installed. They are cleo
trically heated and flat rental
which includes costs of utilities
made.
Richards business section was
provided for the minimum needs
which is the reason why so many
Richland residents come to Ken
newick to shop for things they
cannot secure at home. Rentals
based on a percentage of the gross
income is charged for the business
properties. The town has good
school system, cost for the opera
ton of which is assisted by the
government. The school systems
buildings is being used both day
and night, during the latter per-
iods for community purposes. The
speaker pointed out that there are
Ia large number of civic organiza-
tons in Richland and the com
munity spirit is high. Civic pride
is reflected in the care taken by
the townspeople in their many
Protestant and Catholic churches
shrubs and trees. There are both
and an adequate hospital has also
been erected.

DOUBLE OBJECTIVE

At a PIT boat base somewhere
in the Pacific, a Kennewick youth
arrived here by plane from Min
doro Island today, bound for the
States and bent on the accom-
plishment of a two-fold purpose.
It was:

leans.
To eat all the ice cream he
could hold.

Larson worked a night shift
from midnight until 8 am, re-
pairing motor torpedo boats that
helped wrest control of the Verde
Island passage between Luzon
and Mindoro from the Japs.
"Most of the damage I men,
toned was not inflicted by the
enemy, but caused by the violent,
dry winds which made landings
so perilous the ships often bang
ed into the docks or ran onto the
reefs" Larson recounted.
The Iowan patched up the hulls
with plyWood to keep the water

reached.

Route of Dixie,
Height. Other
Data Outlined
Surveying Party to
Stake Line; Nelson
Speaks at c. of G..

Engineers connected with the
Army Area Engineers office are
spending several days in this area
and have given a comprehensive
picture of what effect the on
struction of the Umatilla dam will
have here.
Most often asked questions re-
gard the dixie and Seepage water.
The dixie will run from a point
in the Hover area to the Yakima
river with a few gaps where there
are high spots in the present river
bank. Adjacent to Kennewick the
dixie will be approximately IL feet
in height. 1t will follow the line
of the natural bank of the river
and will at no point extent more
than 200 feet, including the drain
age ditch which will collect seep-
age water.
The top of the dixie will be IL
feet in width except where it car
ries the highway. It is believed
that the levee will not affect the
area east of Fruitland street and
will pass below the bridge ap-
proach, where new pier may
be necessary.
For some distance west of Fruit
land street the road will be placed
on top of the dixie. The core of
the dixie will be constructed of
waterproof material with addi-
tional earth derived from the
river side and from the ditch. At
some points it will be necessary
to haul in material. The ditch
will be covered where necessary.
Engineer Mark Nelson spoke at
the luncheon meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, pointing
out the advantages of the $40 foot
level. He outlined the origin
of plans for the dam and gave
a picture of what the results
would be.
Power development is a major
factor, which would pay for the
dam in 40 years. 1t is expected
that nearly one million horse
power will be developed.
The 34O-foot level would pro-
vide the greatest advantage to
navigation. It would provide slack
water from the mouth of the Co
lumbia to this area and also to
Lewiston with the construction
of four proposed dams on the
Snake.
Mr.. Nelson explained that the
levees would be built to q level
to protect against q flood
level of the 1894 plus five feet.
He said that the engineers be-
lieved that drainage and pumping
facilities would make conditions
as to seepage as good or better
than now exist.
The $40 level would be better
for irrigation purposes than
lower dam because it would re-
duce pumping expenses and
would reduce pumping expenses
and would reach more land, he
said.
The lake will cover approx
mately 600 square miles and
would provide excellent recrea-
tional possibilities.
BackWater will innundate
$3.50 acres but only 1000 acres
of that is farm land. More than
50, 900 acres of farm land will be
protected.
Mr.. Nelson, who is a native of
the Northwest, stated that the en-
gineers are anxious to serve the
best interests of the area and will
welcome any suggestions from
residents. A surveying party un-
der Engineer Dave Meldrum will
be here for the next two or three
weeks and will stake out the route
of the levee.

Inspectors Provided
For Bee Industry

Beekeepers in this area are re-
quested to register information as
to their activities with the county
extension agent. A law passed
in the recent legislature and sign
ed by the governor provides for
bee inspectors. One of the major
purposes of the inspection is to
aid in the control of foul brood,
a disease which attacks bees.
These inspectors are paid from
funds raised by the industry it.
