followed the old custom of visit
ing the sick throughout h e
neighborhood and attending the
funeral and burial of acquaintan

or SO ago he was a familiar fig
ure around Clintwood and at
the stores at the mouth of Bear
pen. Always friendly and of a
jovial nature he was a welcome
guest anywhere he chose to lodge.

First County to
Reach Quota In
Mighty Seventh

Signal honor came to the people
Of Kennewick and all Of Benton
county in being the first in the
state to top the quota in the Sew
enth War Loan Drive.
The information was received in
a letter dated July z from County
Chairman Wyman Cox addressed
to Drive Chairman James Leavy.
In the Letter Mr. Cox quotes a
telegram from State Chairman
Reno Odlin. Following is the tele-
gram:
"TODAY'S OFFICIAL FEEDER
AL RESERVE FIGURES SHOW
BENTON COUNTY FIRST IN
STATE OVER THE TOP IN ALL
THREE CONSIDERATIONS. Els,
TOTAL INDIVIDUAL A D
GRAND TOTAL. THIS ACCOM-
PLISHMENT is AN INSPIRA-
TON TO OTHER COUNTIES OF
STATE AND is FURTHER TRIB-
UTE TO YOU AND YOUR
SPLENDID ORGANIZATIONS" :.
"This is a record we can all be
proud Of" writes Mr. Cox. 81 only
hope we can all stick through to-
gether until the last drive is over.
I feel this is our duty on the home
front. Reno asked that we all
stay in there and pitch until the
deal is over"
Totals of bond sales in all CLASH
fications throughout the nation
are extremely high, far exceeding
the amounts in any previous drive.
Many counties in the state have
gone over their quotas in total
amounts but in most cases have
been short of their goals in the
sale of "E" bonds.
81 wish to offer my congratu-
lations and my thanks to the many
individuals and groups who have
won this honor for our county,"
said Chairman Leavy. "Kenne-
wick can well take pride in this
excellent achievement"
In commenting on the success
of the drive, Kiwanis President
John Coan pointed out that the
job was "even more significant
in that the Kiwanis committee
had just completed q highly sue
cessful clothing drive before
plunging into the Seventh War
Loan. The War Citizenship COM
mittee deserves highest praise"

umaiQa Dam
May Be Finished
Within Five Years

That water may be backed up
by the Umatilla dam by 1850 was
an opinion expressed by army en-
gineers in Portland Monday. This
estimate was predicated on the
allotment of funds and other fac
tors bearing on the construction.
Previous estimates as to the date
of completion have been set al
approximately seven years.
At a meeting in Portland Mon.
day, the engineers discussed prob
lens of the Kennewick Port Dis.
trict and other matters with a
local group. Location of the True's
oil company and the Twin City
Moorage and Boat works on Glow
er Island also came up for dis
cussion.
The engineers advised only
temporary construction work
should be done on the island at
the present time. They pointed
out that the higher water level
would make the operation of the
present port facilities practical.
No definite decisions were made
and the port commission will dis
cuss further plans. The possibility
of raising the island to level
consistent with the higher water
level is still being considered.
In the group from Kennewick
were Port Commissioners p. G.
Richmond, A. c. Aman and Walt
Knowles, and Port Attorney M
NJ. Moulton; Chas. Hunt and M
Kirk of the boat company, and

George Peters
Ends is Years
Chamber Service

Members of the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce rose to
their feet in tribute to George
Peters for his thirteen years Of
service to the organization at the
Thursday noon meeting. The ova-
ton came following q talk in
which Mr.. Peters reviewed the
work of the Chamber since its in
ception in 1910 and especially
since he became secretary in 1892.
Mr.. Peters made it clear that
he did not wish to resign. He said
that he felt that to resign is "a
cowardly thing to do" that it
leaves the impression that "you
feel that you have not done your
best" He stated that he was glad
to see so many young men coming
into the chamber and that he in
sisted on being fired rather than
to resign.
In view of this request the board
of governors met Immediately fol-
lowing the meeting and did just
that.
Mr.. Peters is going into other
work.. He has agreed to stay with
the chamber in order to help a
new man get started and to get
the books set up.
No one has yet been chosen to
fill the position but several men
are being considered. The cham
Der plans to hire a man full time
in view of the large amount of
work to be done in the present
and postwar period.
With the possibility of a num-
Der of industrial and business
firms locating here, the construc-
ton of the Umatilla dam and the
probability of a great increase
in irrigated lands the job will
be big one.
On the calendar for the next
meeting is an address by Fred L.
Houston of the Benton-Franklin
County Employment Service. Mr..
Houston will outline the project
underway in Pasco wherein the
city is being surveyed for post
war employment possibilities with
emphasis on opportunities for re-
turning veterans.
It is planned to make similar
survey here under the sponsor
ship of the recently organized
city wide veterans committee.
Backing Of the Chamber Of Com
merce and other groups is sought.
