eve can safely say" said Des-
cranes, 'sthat asparagus grown in
the Kennewick locality has the
finest quality grown anywhere in
the country"
During the war years, he ex-
plains, the shipment of fresh
'grass" was discouraged by the
government, because of transpor-
tation shortages, and the necessity
to assure that every pound OF
food reached its destination with
out spoilage. Now that the war
is over, it is expected that food
processing plants will again be-
gin to ship to fresh markets.
More than a half million dol
Jars worth of "grass" was grown
i1fsthe area this season, Desgranges
estimates, placing the total valu-
alton at about 100000.
Cherry growers are also hitting
a jackpot this year, producing an
estimated SITS, 900 crop. Sand"
Desgranes says, "the cherry quail
ity is generally very good this
season."
Bings and Lamberts, both fancy
fruits, are the varieties chiefly
grown in the region. From the
unloading dock at the Big Y, the
fruit is taken directly to the con-
veyor belt, where the cherries
move along a production line,
under the def and nimble fingers
of the men and women operators,
who sort them, grade them, and
finally pack them in the appetiz-
ing double row face" pack-con-
sidered the most attractive pack
age on the market-that needs
only removal of the lid to prepare
them for tempting display in re-
tail stores.
Throughout the process, the
cherries are kept cool, and, before
they are finally loaded into the
waiting railroad cars, they spend
from "a to SO hours in the pre-
cooling room. From there they are
loaded into the refrigerator cars,
reaching the dealer in practically
the same state of freshness they
were when they were brought to
the unloading dock.
Gaming and freezing Of cher
ries is on the increase" Desgranges
notes, land I believe we can ex-
pect that trend to continue. II
prices should slip somewhat on the
fresh fruit market, more Of them
will be diverted to the processed
market"

Chuck Neel:

'"The American Legion is in
great need Of suitable place to
build its home and by making this
possible by aiding the organization
in securing suitable location to
erect the hall, in due course of
time the city would be paid back
the price these lots are worth.
"By making it possible for the
Legion to build this hall, Kenne-
wick people would have access to
one of the finest public meeting
places this city could wish for.
"Giving lots to construct this
hall would be a fine memorial to
the men who served in the armed
forces. This is why / vote yes to
turn the lots over to the Legion"

Mayor ]. C. Pratt:

81 have admired the American
Legion in their attempt to build
a new home in the city of Kenne-
wick and feel that In helping them
secure this new building, the peo-
pie Of Kennewick would be taking
a small part in providing q meet
ing place for returning veterans.
AT the present time Kennewick
has no place for large gatherings
and this new building would pro-
vide the needed space"
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1946-06-20
Larry Oliver

81 think we owe the Legion
these lots as our patriotic duty.
The type Of building they propose
will fill a need Of the community
for a hall in which to carry on a
large number Of community at
fairs. From q financial standpoint
the city will realize a far greater
revenue from that type Of hall
where dances and other enter
tainments can be held than from
an ordinary commercial building"

IDEAS ....
Just returned from a trip
through several of our western
states. We jotted down a few
ideas we saw in various towns
that Kennewick might do well to
adopt. We couldn't see too much
because the boss made us ride in
the trunk with only a crack to
peep through. He said we talked
ZOO much to be permitted to ride
up in the seat.

constructing hall at an estimated
cost of $35, 1000. The building would
be in two stories. The ground
level would provide space for two
stores to be leased with rooms
in the rear to be provided free
by the Legion as a permanent
headquarters for the Boy Scouts.
The upper floor would be used
for a large hall with stage suit
able for various types of perform
ances and dancing. Part Of the
upper floor would be used as the
Legion's club rooms. 1t is the in
tention of the Legion to operate

Officers Capture
Trio OF Sailors
Near KenneWick

A trio of youthful sailors, on
probation from the Navy Deten-
ton Center at Farragut, Idaho,
objects of a statewide man hunt,
were taken into custody on the
outskirts of Kennewick Wednes-
day morning by Deputy Sheriffs
Norbert Costello and Ted M. Wag-
ner working under the direction
of Sheriff Harry B. Cochran in
ProSser. .---
James Barnard, 10; Warren
Scarbaugh, 10, and Levi Fogle,
20, had left trail of car theft,
attempted holdup and depreciation
from the coast to the point of
their apprehension. When taken
into custody, they were AWOL
from pier 81 in Seattle, where
they had been sent from Farra-
gut, according to sheriff's officers,
to await further orders. ~. 1r
They were Immediately lodged
in the Kennewick city Jail and
held pending the arrival of peace
officers from Yakima, where after
their return, they will probably
be charged with car theft and
attempted robbery, according to
arresting officers. -tsE a4
Travelling in a 1898 Ford tudor,
stolen at Chehalis, Barnard, Scar
baugh and Fogle had run afoul
of the law in Carbonate, Ellens-
burg and Sunnyside. All Wash
ington peace officers had been
instructed to be on the look out
for them. .st
"We were on duty Tuesday eve
ning," Costello and Wagner re-
counted, with Patrolman Del
Flint, we had set up road block
at the Y. We waited until 1880
that night, but nothing happened.
We left the other officers at the
road block, and patroled the high
way for about an hour longer
without sighting anything sus-
picious."
They continued: ''The following
morning wednesday, we returned
to our highway patroling. As a
part OF the job, We were checking
all cabin camps or other places
where the wanted men might be
lodging"
Suddenly they saw an APP
preaching car that seemed to ans
wer the right description. Waiting
for it to pass them, they made a
quick check Of the license number
and Immediately swung into pur
suit.
It was not q fast chase, Deputies
Wagner and Costello reported; and
after following the car for about
a mile, they sounded their siren
and ordered the driver to pull
over to the side of the road. The
arrest took place about four miles
west of Kennewick on highway
40.
Approaching on opposite sides
of the car, with drawn guns, the
officers covered each other until
they were able to search their
prisoners and their car. In the
glove compartment, they discov-
cred a rs calibre Belgian auto
matte. Also in the car was a crude
"sap" made of a heavy navy sock
with a rock in its toe.
Deputies Costello and Wagner
encountered no resistance from
their youthful prisoners, they
said.
Naval authorities will not ACT
in the case of the AWOL seamen,
until civil authorities have COM
pleted appropriate legal action,
officers predicted.

The problem of bicycles parked
at random on sidewalks was
solved in several places by the
provision Of neat parking racks at

provided a much needed improve

Over 81 per cent of the funds

Only three per cent Of the chest

munity Chest spokesman, was in
treduced by w. Elliott O'Neal,
chairman of the chests speakers
bureau.
e. N. Chandler, a representative
of the Veterans Administration,
