Local Committee
To Handle Loans
For Servicemen
FSA to pass on
CT applications for
postwar farms

Benton County'S FSA commit
tee has been designated by the
Veterans Administration to serve
as the county veterans loan COM
mittee to certify CT farm loan
guarantees, reports Edwin o.
Vartensleben, county FSA super
visor, Court House, Pasco.
a special school for committee
men held recently at Yakima was
attended by A. J. Thompson, Rus
sell Elliott, Rolla Lanning to Sc
cure detailed instructions for their
new assignment. Dan Giard Of
Kennewick, businessman and vet
eran, also attended.
New responsibilities of the FSA
committeeman in connection with
the veterans farm loan guaran-
tees are entirely separate from
the farm security program of su-
perviSed credit. "G1 services of
committeeman will be carried out
under direction Of the Veterans
Administration" Wartensleben
said. "The committee will also
continue its regular duties Of re-
viewing and passing on FSA
loans and advising borrowers and
prospective borrowers"
Provisions Of the CT farm loan
guarantee program make il pos
sible for honorably discharged
veterans to secure farm loans
from banks, commercial credit or
CARNATIONS and individuals with a
guarantee up to $1,000 for pur-
chase of farms, farm buildings,
equipment or livestock. After the
veteran has qualified and a COM
mercial credit agency or bank has
agreed to make the loan, the APP
plication will be reviewed by the
veterans loan committee to in
sure the veteran has a good like
lihood of success.
FSA's loans. for livestock, equip
ment, water facilities and farm
ownership will continue to be
available to veterans and family
type farmers who cannot secure
suitable credit and management
assistance from usual sources.
The CT farm loan guarantees do
not apply to loans from federal
agencies but there may be in
stances where FSA or farm credit
loans may be used to supplement
loans made under the CT guar
antee. #-s
Information as to the CT farm
loan guarantee program may be
obtained through the county FSA
office, committee members, and
from the veterans advisory COM
mittee established in the county
agents office.

Development Of
Local Air Port
Much interest being
shown in civilian
aviation project

An increasing interest in aero.
nauticS is being shown by the
city officials, who Tuesday might
offered local aviation enthusiasts
every possible support in the de-
velopment of the local airport.
Herb Henne, experienced pilot
and airport enthusiast, appeared
before the council with some new
information relating to relaxed
wartime flying restrictions. He
has had maps prepared of the
local situation and today repre-
sentatives of the CAA will make
an inspection of the local posi-
bilities and WILL, no doubt, give
approval to the local field as
an accepted port. Following this
acceptance, local people inter
ested in flying will begin active
work on the development of the
field. Y
MIR. Henne reports much local
enthusiasm, with several local
people making plans for the pur-
chase of private planes as soon
as the field has been approved
and the ships can be made ready
for use. The establishment of a
flying school is one of the prin-
cipal detectives Of the local group
Communications have been re-
ceived from flyers living at Rich
land, asking about facilities avail
able here and offering substan-
tial support for any activity en-
gagged in here. The council, be-
cause of budget limitations, is un-
able this year to give any financial
support to the project, but were
unanimous in their support OF
the development work.

Fire Department
Urges support Of p.
annual benefit on
Saturday night

Once a year the Kennewick
Volunteer Fire Department stages
a benefit ball. This year the adj
vertising now out. states that the
affair will be staged at the High
lands club house on Saturday
night of this week. Proceeds
will be used by the department
in various ways.
The department is composed
of volunteers who get paid only
for actually answering fire calls.
The hours of practice and time
spent in schools of instruction,
ETC., are not paid for. Only the
chief, who also doubles in other
capacities, is on the regular city
payroll. Therefore, a good pat
ronage of their benefit is gen.
orally expected.
That the work of the depart
ment is appreciated is evidenced
by the voluntary report given
this paper today by Olav Otheim,
who says: located close to the
fire station, it has been my plea
sure, ever since ! came to Kenne-
wick, to witness the work of a
very efficient fire department. It
is always matter of seconds
from the time we hear the
whistle til we see some of the
fire department on the run and
| til the fire truck is out.
sour fire department ought
to be congratulated and should
receive the support of all the
good citizens in Kennewick as
well as the city commended on
its farsightedness in hiring a fire
chief who will be in position to
help prevent fires as well as
fight them"

by buying ticket to their bene-
fit ball Saturday night.

Not Likely to
Use German POW
For Farms Here
Place more dependence
on transported labor
this year

A meeting to discuss the whole
overall farm labor picture for
the state of Washington was held
at Yakima Feb. 6, under direction
of j. c. Knott, director of Exten-
sion. This meeting was attended
by farm labor committees and
county agents from the counties
using Mexican and other trans
ported and interstate laborers.
Representatives Of the Office Of
Labor and Extension Service at
Washington, d. c., were present
in addition to the Representatives
of the 9th Service Command.
Plans We're given in detail for
the use of both Mexican nationals
and the use Of German prisoners
of war. The 9th Service Com
mand representative, 1t. White
head, gave the plans and rules for
the use Of prisoners Of war.
The overall picture as far as
the state is concerned seems to
indicate that local recruitment of
farm labor may be less than last
year and that a greater depend
ence will have to be put on trans
ported labor. It was thought pos
sible that the quota Of Mexican
nationals would be increased a
small amount over last year and
that their use would be allotted
to counties in accordance with the
crops raised and demands. Il
was the consensus Of opinion of
the entire group representing farm
labor that the transported workers
be kept in as fluid a condition as
possible and would be shifted
from place to place as crops de-
velop and need harvesting. In
some areas prisoners Of war may
be used to fairly effective adj
vantage, where in some areas this
would not be true. According to
a statement made by Walter L.
Click, county agent, there is no
indication that a prisoner Of war
camp would be used in the Ben
ton-Franklin area.
Those attending the meeting at
Yakima representing the Benton
Franklin farm labor committee
Were Larry Newsome, Gus Parlier.
Mrs. Ella Shaughnessy, Arthur
Foisy and Walter Click.

More Questions
On City Affairs
Are Answered
Councilman gives
the answers to some
local problems

Why doesn't the city install
those parking meters ordered
some time ago? The meters are
ordered and it takes three months
to get the order filled and meters
installed. Proper ordinances for
control of meters and parking will
be necessary and they are being
prepared by the city attorney.
Why doesn't the city-build a
new city hall with room enough
for the library, fire company, JUS
tice court, police force and deputy
sheriffs and the cages? There
IS no elbow room in any of these
departments. The police and
sheriffs do not even have a type
writer nor a desk to put one on.
Shall we build an adequate build
ing or shall we rebuild the old
one now in use? Anybody know
of any money to do this with?
Why doesn't the city build a
new post office? Your Uncle
Samuel does that job and the
chamber of commerce and the XII
wants club are pushing the mat
ter as fast as they can. Postwar
project number one, it would seem
to us. The Pc. has doubled in
business and has to do it in a
tenth the size room needed.
Why doesn't the city build a
bridge over the canal to the new
schoolhouse? It is in the blue
print stage and will soon be on
the way. That street is to be
opened through to 10th Avenue,
giving the people south and west
of town a shorter way into the
city.
Why doesn't the city enlarge
its beautiful park now while the
land south is open country? That
is also being looked after by
Councilman Oliver and his park
committee and land was pur-
chased for the enlargement a few
weeks ago.
Why doesn't the city open Gum
street so the folks on Knob Hill,
including Green Homes folks, can
get to the bridge without coming
around through town? The one
obstacle is the necessary under
pass on the MP. right of way. A
surface crossing would do over the
O.W. but you would have to 60
under the MP. Those underpass-
es run into money and the city
would have to put it in. Bond is.
