Any one of these evenings,
when you and the family haven't
anything special to do, drop by
the High School playing field,
Monday through Thursday, and
catch these athletes. You won't
be sorry. It's ball of the sand lot
or cow pasture type, but it's COLI
urful and at times it'll have you
Standing on your toes. And as
time goes on the individual play
IS bound to improve. According
to our informant, there's no adj
mission. Sometime during the eve
ming, they pass a hat, and you
make it easy on yourself. Not a
bad deal.

Growers Urged TO
Request Workers

As the cherry season advances
the Benton-Franklin Farm Labor
office is getting more requests for
workers. No more Mexican labor
ers are expected for the cherry
harvest as those now in the coun-
ty are being shipped out to the
pea harvest. Growers are urged
to leave their orders for workers
at the Emergency Farm Labor
office, where officials promise to
do their best to fill as many
orders as possible with local and
transient labor.
Some early cherries have al
ready been picked, but the main
crop will be ready for picking
between the 10th and the 18th
of this month, and people who
expect to work in the cherry
harvest should arrange for their
own transportation and housing,
although some of the growers will
provide some transportation, Of
ficials say.
Asparagus cutting and straw
berry picking is about over. The
Farm Labor office has been able
to keep the growers fairly well
supplied with labor for those two
crops.
The Benton-Franklin Farm La
Dor association will attempt to
keep operating although it will be
rather difficult to do so il the
state takes all the Mexicans away
for the pea harvest. The associ-
alton hopes to be able to provide
sufficient Mexican labor for the
growers this fall. :.

SIuVe and Al BranClngnam.
Articles of incorporation, drawn
up by Kenneth E. Serier, We're
ready to submit to the standing
Grape Festival committee for final
approval. When adopted, they will
permit the establishment Of a per-
manent organization to be known
as the Kennewick Grape Festival,
Inc, to promote and stage the
event year after year, Serier ex-
planned.
Early consideration of the festi-
val plan at meeting of the COM
mittee at large held May % in
the Roxy theater had included a
discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY Of
using the existing Rodeo associ-
alton as sponsor for the new
event. However, after listening to
a presentation of the legal struc-
ture, history and present status
of the Rodeo association by its
president, A. G. Anon, represen-
tatives of clubs and organizations
in Kennewick and the area voted
to form a new permanent organ
ization.
"We want you to know" Anon
told the delegates, "that the Rodeo
association will do everything
possible to assist with the grape
festival. Any facilities or prop
erty that we now hold, which
might be used to advantage, be-
long to the community, and they
can be used for that purpose at
any time"
Clyde Anderson, Grape Festival
chairman, expressed appreciation
this week for the cooperation and
willingness Of the Rodeo associ-
alton officials to help make the
fall celebration an outstanding sue
cess.
"We still have in mind" he
said, shat we may be able to
revive the rodeo as part of the
festival in future years. Mean
while the help and advice that
the associations officials have Of
fered us will be of untold value
in presenting a successful festi-
val"
Anderson this week made the
first Of his many committee APP
pointments, naming in each in
stance chairmen whose experience
has qualified them for their par
ticular assignments. Each COM
mittee chairman will be expected
to name his own committee MEM
bers, Anderson said.
Mrs. Marjorie Wilson was ap-
pointed to head the ticket sales
committee; Dick Rector will be
in charge of rides and concessions
footage; Harold higgins will
handle financing and stock sales;
and Harold Clark was made re-
sponsible for publicity.
I'VE are going to make. the
festival community wide event."
Anderson stated, sand we want
all the clubs and organizations
in the entire area to participate
in some way"
"Any club presidents or leaders,
who have not yet started plans
for the festival, are welcome to
call on me for information at any
time" Anderson said.
