May Get Pasco
Naval Hospital
For Civil Use

Getting the Pasco Naval Air
station hospital into operation for
civilians was the immediate OBJ
jective of a widely attended meet
ng Saturday at the Pasco USO
building. Securing the equipment
for a permanent hospital in Ken
newick was long range objective.
With the naval base now on an
inactive" status DR.. Tudor stated
it was possible to lease it, prob
ably on a revocable lease or re-
vocable permit. q
DR.. Greenwell reported that the
present building was good: had
ample rooms, complete surgery.
DR.. Foskitt further pointed out that
two of the ward wings could be
changed to make nurses quarters
and be used for storage. There is
a good laboratory and complete
surgery, dental chairs and all sup
plies except probably the items
which were consumed in each
month, such as sutures, etc. The
need for more hospital space in
Kennewick and Pasco area was
thoroughly gone into, and it was
thought that the hospital could be
operated as a 1OO-bed hospital
without any loss; in fact. with the
situation the way it was, it might
be operated at a slight profit.
DR.. Foskitt suggested that a sep
arate organization be formed to be
known as the Columbia Basin hos
pital association.
Ole II. Olson moved that the
committee 60 on record that one
of the objects of the Hospital As
ISOLATION would be to lend support
to getting a permanent hospital in
Kennewick and when the Pasco
Naval Air Station was no longer
operated as a civilian hospital by
the Hospital Association, then to
use all influence to get the equip
ment transferred to a Kennewick
hospital. This was unanimously
passed.

Gre111Iit1s
Type Tykes Cause
Newspaper Ills

Oh, there's many a fighting man,
who's had trouble with gremlins
and there's many one from the
ould sod can tell you about the wee
folk, and the trouble they'll give
you-sly and mischievous as they
are!
But any newspaper man worthy
70 his salt will tell you he'll take
the pack-the whole kit and ca
Doodle of them-if you'll rid him Of
the pixie-like little people who
devil the print shops.
Type Tykes, they call them
and a nastier and more ornery LOT
you'd never want to see. Leering,
and grinning at you out OF the cor
ners, peeping over your shoulder
when you're reading proof, jog
Cling your fingers on the keyboard
at the type-setting machines, Or
and that's the worst of listing
and scratcing their malicious small
bodies, because -.
Yes, you've guessed it, because
they're infested with type lice, as
any printers devil could tell you.
And that's why, If you must
know, we said in the paper that
300 new registrations were tailed
in Richland, when in truth it was
8. 1000. And Just to make sure Of 1t
wen say it again-3,000.
That's not all Of it either. It was
one or more of them who took the
respectable name of the Twin City
Airport and maltreated it until it
read "Tin City Airport" And they
garbled some more of the Kings
English until you'd fairly suffer to
read it.
We're thinking of running q
classified ad in the paper reading:
"Wanted to Trade. VIII take grem.
Inns, COLLINS, gnomes, elves and
pixies, or whatever else you have
plaguing you, il only you'll rid us
of these uncomfortable type tykes.'
Should you happen to have any
of the troublesome creatures about
drop in, we can probably make 9
dicker.

Employment Rise
Marked In Area

Building construction in this
area increased during May. This
construction includes CARA Pe
buildings, churches, stores, office
buildings, shipyards, quick freeze
plants, grapejuice plants, CONNER
cial airport buildings and veterans
homes. Because of this increase
there is shortage of building
craftsmen and laborers, according
to a statement issued by the us
Employment Service.
There is surplus, however, of
unskilled women, truck drivers
and heavy equipment operators.
The food processing plants are not
all operating at full capacity, there
fore a number of women are un-
employed.
The construction Of the canals
and pumping plant on the Pasco
area Columbia Basin Irrigation
project is expected to start soon.
This will use some of the heavy
equipment operators and truck
drivers.
Government operations in this
area have issued a stop order on
all employment until they know
their status. Hanford Engineer
Works are changing contracts.
General Electric will take over OPP
erations by the first of September.
No change in the labor market on
this operation is expected.
Unemployment in Franklin and
Benton counties has decreased 20
per cent under April figures. Job
openings have increased from 388
last month to 500 this month. This
is due to the increase in building
construction. All contractors are
short Of craftsmen.
Housing is the main reason why
there are not enough workmen to
fill the job openings. 10

Signal Corps To Maintain
 B Stations

WASHINGTON Feb. 1z. - The Signal Corps plans to operate 33 radio telegraph stations in it's net work serving Alaska during the next fiscal year, Maj Gen. Frank Stoner, assistant chief signal officer of the army, told the House Appropria- tions committee.
 He testified during hearing on the War Departments civil func- tions appropriation bill
 General Stoner told the commit tee the master station of the net work would be in Seattle and 32 stations in the Territory.
 He said it also planned to use the present cable from Seattle to Alaska as long as major rehabilita- ton is not required
 Stoner told the committee com mercial civilian traffic handled over the network last year totaled $667,- 900, but said Government traffic, if paid for, would have amounted to about s2.O00,0O0
 The General said it had been suggested that private companies take over the Signal Corps system in the Territory, but commercial companies had found they could not make a profit when they had to establish their own stations, rent or purchase land and erect their own buildings He explained the Signal Corps system relayed messages to systems of industrial companies which transmitted them to all parts of the Territories.
 Stoner told the committee that the Government had turned over to Canada that part of the Signal Corps telephone system on the AL can highway, which is in Canada and which cost about $9,300,000
 Stoner told the committee that in all cases where there was no mili- tary need for a station it's contin- uance was based upon it's conner oial value as profit-making sta ton.
