Legion Juniors
Lose 10 Point

Pasco Point defeated the Ameri.
can Legion Juniors here Sunday
June IL by the score of 8 to 3
The Juniors showed better field.
ing ability than in the past but
were limited to five hits by Baird
the Point pitcher.
Jim Lewis, a new member Of
the Juniors pitched good ball
giving up eight hits, but showing
fine control.
Good news for the Legion Jun
Tors is the fact that Harold Thomp.
son, from Prosser, is turning out
for pitcher and third base. This
will give the Juniors a good hurl-
ing staff, with Lewis, Thompson
and Blaclkman taking their turns
on the mound.
BY the time the league starts on
July l, the team should be much
improved and the Kennewick pub
lie will see some good games.
There is to be another practice
game Sunday June a at Pasco
with the Legion team Of that city.
Batteries for the came last Sum
day were Baird and Hull for the
Point and Lewis and Harold Per
kins for Kennewick.

Ma,,ri Tiki wards off evil

Mauri Tiki wards off evil.
That is the belief Of the New
Zealand natives based on an old
legend. The story was told to us
by Dick Clute, Air Force SER
geant recently returned from a 32-
month stretch in the South Pacific.
He brought one Of the emplems
home with him.
AS the story goes, a native
princess lost her first baby in q
premature birth. Her princely
husband made a replica Of the
infant, hand-carved in greensboro,
and presented it to her. AS q
result according to the superstition
she became the mother in due
course of time of thirteen heal
thy children.
Now it is a practice among the
people of New Zealand to present
the trinket as a good luck piece
especially to expectant mothers.

Want a Big + Family? Try Method
Used BY Mauris Of New Zealand

Members of the 18th Air Force
adopted the emblem to commem-
crate the battle Of Queen Street
and it is worn by the flyers on
their flight jackets.
They are made OF greensboro,
an exceptionally hard stone re-
sembling Jade, and of gold or sill

If the replica is a good likeness
of the original, Mauri babies are
far from beautiful. It is about
two inches long with proportion
ately large head. The tongue is
protruding from heavy lips, Ia
tooed according to native custom.
Dick says that our generals
have paid high tribute to the ma

have done an excellent job in the
island fighting, often operating be-
hind Jap lines against tremendous
odds.

Development Of

"Alaslsa is all set for q period
of rapid development" That is
the opinion of DR.. Viola Garfield,
instructor of anthropology at the
University of Washington who
spoke at the Tuesday noon meet
ing Of the Kennewick Kiwanis
club on that subject.
The post war period will find
Alaska with an increasing popu-
lation and q wide range Of BUSH.
ness opportunities. DR.. Garfield
outlined the commercial history
of Alaska. Mining, fishing and
tourist trade has been Alaska's
leading enterprises, valued in the
order named.
She described the Matanuska
project as having been q success
except for the handicap of trans
portation. With the development
Of air traffic Alaska's transport
tation problems will be partially
solved.
The speaker was of the opinion
that the present Alaska highway
would not be practical as peace
time venture. The distance is too
great with only a graveled road
surface. There are seventeen
bridging problems on the present
route. She favored the coast
route as the only one that would
be practical.

Huuh Lucke Writes from Germany o.
Citation, Bronze Star Medal

near Puffendorf, Germany. Part
of the German defensive plan at
this time was to make a series
of counter attacks. At about 1900,
particularly determined attack
was launched against the Com
pany positions. The friendly
troops were subject to heavy
artillery barrage, followed by
tanks and finally German infant
ry. In the face of numerical sup
eriority and intense fire, the Com
pany was forced to withdraw.
Pfc. Hugh E. Lucke, rocket gun
|ner, displayed exceptional courage
by evacuating seriously wound
ed soldier during the confusion OF
the withdrawal. He and another
soldier carried the wounded man
distance of 1000 yards across
open terrain to a place of safety.
Pfc. Hugh E. Lucke did not aband-
on his heavy rocket launcher al
though his rescue work would
have been much easier without
this extra heavy burden. By saw
ing his equipment, he was able
to 60 back into battle Immediate
~, and played an important part
in regaining the lost ground. En-
tered the Military Service from
Washington.

Council Passes
Ordinance for
Sewer Charges

After a lengthy discussion Of all
the points involved, the City Coun-
Gil Tuesday night passed the rate
fixing ordinance for sewer serv-
ice. Rates will start from rs cents
per month for private homes. The
rates for business places, hotels,
restaurants, school and all other
places We're fixed on varying
schedule. The complete rate sched-
ule appears in Ordinance 422 APP
pearing in this issue.
II is necessary to raise about
$1,000 per year to retire the sewer
bonds amounting to $4,000 which
have been issued to pay the city's
share for the construction of the
Avenue b trunk sewer. IT is be-
lieved that the rates as fixed will
exceed this requirement thereby
swelling the sewer fund.
Some councilmen argued in
favor of higher rate in order to
raise a fund that may be needed in
the near future for the construc-
ton of sewage disposal plant.
Such plant would cost some
where in the neighborhood Of
100000.
Monthly charges for sewer SER
vice has become a common prac-
tice. Rates as fixed by this ordin-
ance are lower than many cities,
il was pointed out. According to
reports, Sunnyside is paying $3.50
per month and is rapidly amassing
fund for the construction Of
disposal plant there. Prosser has
been forced to install plant and
found the financing difficult, it
was stated.
Councilmen Scott, Holden, Rich
mond and Cox were appointed as
a committee to secure q right-of-
way easement for the trunk sewer
on Avenue B. This is the 30-inch
sewer which will run from WASH
ington street east on Avenue B
and then angle north to the river.
A discussion of loading zones
after installation Of the parking
meters resulted in passage of
motion to allow loading zones for
Neuman's and Penney's stores on
Benton street and for Carl-Berg's
on Washington. None of these
stores has an alley entrance.

Communities 10
Plan Disposition
OF Housing Units

Three representatives of the
Kennewick Housing Authority, E.
c. Smith, Executive Director,
Paul Richmond, Ralph Reed,
Commissioners, joined with hous-
ing officials from IA other Wash
ington and Oregon communities
Saturday in declaring for local
control of the disposition of feder-
al war housing properties here
after the war.
The meeting, held in Portland,
was special session of the Wash
ington Association of Housing
Commissioners, with housing Of
ficials of three Oregon commune
ties as guests. This association
has been working for nearly a
year on proposals for a federal
policy that would let local COM
munities determine the use to
which their war housing proper
ties are to be put.
According to E. c. Smith, of the
local Housing Authority, the hous-
ing officials throughout the coun-
try are insisting that local agen-
cies, such as city, county, school,
planning and housing officials, are
better able to draw up a commu-
nifty plan for the re-development
of local. housing lands than the
federal government 5000 miles
away. Some communities want to
use the land for pirate home sites.
Others plan parks, Fairgrounds,
golf courses, school campuses, and
the like. The housing officials feel
that war housing is expendable,
and that the government should
be prepared to take a loss in dis
posing of it. They feel that the
interests of the local commune
ties should receive first considera-
ton, otherwise, wholesale and UNI
controlled disposition of these
housing lands may do irreparable
damage to the local communities.
Philip M. Klutznick, commits
sioner Of the FPEIA Of Washing
ton D. c., conducted the meeting.
He addressed the group on "Dis-
position Of War Housing Projects. :"
The Kennewick group attended
q business meeting in Seattle On

invited the housing officials Of
