Strengthened out the Los Angeles

read, she added: "While we have
bought a home here and like it
very much we still have a warm
spot in our hearts for Kennewick

the Mulkey's address and il there

Faiien That Turkey" Quasi Writes
After Liberation from Jap Prison

Pfc. Nelson Quasi, who was cap
tured at Corregidor, and held .
prisoner by the Japs until just
recently, wrote the following let
ter to his sister Mrs. Charles
Williams. Nelson % the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Quasi Of Rich
land.
Yokohama, Japan
Being that now have the right
to write again, I thought I'd
drop few lines to let you know
that I'm still OK although ! be-
lieve that I've eaten a little too
much. This solid American chow
is q little different from rice
and soup three times a day.
Well when we found out the
war was over I was in q prison
camp in the northern part Of the
main island of Japan, about 500
kilometers north Of Tokyo, near
the city Aourori. I was working
in an open iron mine. Or.
rived there last January 10th from
Formosa. When we got there
Cney were having TIE WO1OG wiz
ter that they had in 80 years. The
buildings were made Of half inch
rough boards that you could see
through. We were given q stove
about the size Of a five gallon
can and were issued sometimes
three and sometimes five sticks
of wood to heat the place. The
snow was about six feet deep.
They issued us mittens, shoes and
rain coats made out Of grass to
work in. It wasn't long until
I was down with pneumonia.
There wasn't much medical sup.
plies and about all q fellow could
do was to keep his fingers crossed.
Right after the war was over,
fighter and BIO planes dropped
supplies to us and ] mean they
were sure a God send. I some
times am still afraid that It Is
Just a dream and that I'll wake
up again to a short bowl OF rice
and pushing ore cars.
I'm looking forward to SPEND
ing Thanksgiving at home. Bet

Three Records
Addition Streets
10 Be Renamed

To conform with the over all
plan Of street naming and NUM-
berine, the city council Tuesday
night passed an ordinance which
will change the names Of Adams
and Sycamore streets in Records
addition. With the new plan it
will be called Monroe all the way
around the loop.
Present Adams street houses
will be numbered from 100, Syca-
more houses will be 200 and the
present Monroe block viii be In
the 3OOs. Considerable discussion
was aroused as to the proper des-
ignation with street, way, road,
place and drive all being rejected
because they failed to describe the
thoroughfare. While It was agreed
that sloop" attained the closest
description It was also discarded
because it 'just doesn't sound
right"
Decision was to merely can
it Monroe with no further desig-
nation with the understanding that
a further description could be add
ed when decision could be made,
preferably at the instance Of home
owners in the addition.
According to the original plat
of that area q street was designat-
ed east Of the addition known AZ
Kipling road. When in 1925 the
comprehensive plan Of naming
streets was adopted that street
was changed to Monroe.
Later Monroe street was va
Gated with the property reverting
to abutting property owners and
when Records addition was plat
ted the continuous street was des-
ignated as the three streets as now
named.
L. Commander Tudor who has
been heading the Benton-Ffanklin
county health department appear
ed before the council. He described
the work Of the department, point
ing out that considerable progress
had been made in protecting the
health Of the community. He asked
that the city increase from $1,000
to $4,000 their contribution toward
the financing of the department.
He said that the federal govern.
ment will probably cut its grants
for such purposes inasmuch as
they came from war emergency

wo Kennewick
canneries Sold
To Local Firm

Consolidation OF the Walla Wall
la Canning Company's plant in
Kennewick with the Kennewick
Canning Company was made pos
sible by the sale Of these prop
critics to K G. p Industries, Inc.
w. A. Knight handled the nego-
tiations for the purchase Of the
two canneries on behalf of the
newly organized company direct
ly with the owners at Walla Walla
and Ogden, Utah. It was revealed
that the canning operations Of the
two plants will be transferred
completely to the KenneWick Cam
ming Company's plant, thus af-
fording an all-year round pro-
cessing of local fruits and vege-
tables. Steady employment will
be provided for many workers
during the winter months through
the company's policy to expand
its production in processing and
freezing Of apples and carrots.
Mr.. Knight, who became interest,"
ed in the new company, was re-
Gently appointed plant manager
and will have complete supervi'
sion of the canning and freezing
department. Mr.. Knight is well
known in our area, having been
employed at both local cannerieS
and has been a resident Of Ken
newick since 1923. His last en-
ployment was that Of Superins
tendent of F. G. Lamb g. Co.
of Freewater, Oregon, position
which he resigned to take over
his new duties.
K & p Industries, Inc. originally
planned to build q winery and bot
ting works on its 2 acre tract
ut Warrington Street and G Ave-
nue. in Kennewick, but it was
fortunate, in the face of present
uncertainty regarding labor and
building materials, in acquiring
buildings entirely suited to its
needs. This will enable the Com.
pany to get into production much
earlier than anticipated. -
A modern, de luxe motel will
be built upon the two-acre tract
as soon as building conditions
warrant.
The Walla Walla plant COM
prises: 100 x 2l0' floor area, q
one story and one-half construc.
ton equipped with good process
ing machines, modern water filter
plant, latest type water tube boiler
and efficient sewage disposal sys.
TEN. it has its own well, completa
with booster pump.
Three to four months will Be
required to remodel q portion Of
this plant into q modern bonded
winery with q storage capacity
Of ESQ., gallons. The winery
will be operated under the direc-
ton of Frank N. Alvau, former
owner Of the Grandview Winery.
Mr.. Alvau is recognized as one
OF the best wine-masters in the
West. The bottling works will oc.
cupy about 5000 square feet Of
space in the building and win
have q daily capacity Of over
1000 cases Of soft drinks.
Further developments are be-
ing planned" Mr.. BAIL stated,
Full information will be released
