Lions Lose Two
To Pendleion:
Bees Win One
BY GEORGE Mitchell

The Kennewick Lions were
handed their first defeat in four
starts by the Pendleton Buckaroos
37-41.
Although, these two teams were
fairly matched, Pendleton had the
height over Kennewick. The loss
of DcKune and Elliott, first string
center and guard, by fouls, in the
fourth quarter, contributed very
greatly to the Pendleton win.
The Pendleton five made the
first basket early in the first quar-
ter but it was ruled no good be-
cause the center was in the key
hole too long. Kennewick started
the scoring and held the lead un-
til two seconds from the end of
the second quarter when the Buck
aroos raised the score to 21-20 in
their favor. ~.
BY the end of the third quarter,
Pendleton had increased their lead
6 points. In the last minute of the
fourth quarter the Lions came
within 2 points of tying the score
but with 2 seconds to 60, the
Buckaroos laid one through the
net to cinch the game.
Harold Perkins led the scoring
with Is points and Don Cooley
and Lowell Rugs of Pendleton
were next with IS each.
Although Kennewick lost by
such a slight margin, every men,

The Lions B squad chalked up
another win by defeating the Pen

WhO0!
Put Out the Lights

Ever wonder how lighthouse
keeper feels, when there's a ire
mendous storm along a rock-bound
coast, with millions of tons of
shipping trying to stay in the
clear, and suddenly the lights go
off?
John Sawyers, of the Twin City
Airport, is the proper man to ask,
if your imagination proves un-
equal to the challenge. Because
Sawyers found himself in a SIM
liar dilemma last Sunday night,
when he went out to hang the
warning lights that guide pilots
down to safe landings.
The ropes that raise the lam
terms to pole tops around the
landing strip had been cut and
taken away.
sAnd there I was" Sawyers
relates, with a four place Cessna,
carrying three passengers, in
bound from Lewiston"
He was able to get lights out on
the strip in time to assist the pilot
to his landing. But the story might
have been different, Sawyers OBJ
serves, if the pilot had been un-
familiar with the field.
Kennewick officers ran down
the culprits, aged 8 to 10 years,
who had blissfully decamped with
the ropes oblivious of stern feder-
al statutes penalizing the act, and
completely unaware that their
vandalism might have cost three
lives. w 90.
Of course, as Police Chief M. H.
Kershaw analyses it, the boys were
"plane happy" like all others of
their ages, and would not have
knowingly done anything to i'm
peril aircraft.
Sawyers had completed the job
of rigging new ropes to the Ian
terms, before the stolen ones were
returned. "Just the same" he says,
"I'm keeping a close watch on
them from now on"

Syphilis in Veterans Seen
Possibly COSTING Billion

Care of syphilitic war veterans
could cost as high as billion dol
lars unless action is taken to check
the disease, according to DR.. Donald
Pillsbury, section chief in derma-
tology and syphilology of the Vet
erans' Administration.
The American Social Hygiene As
sociation made public last night a
statement by DR.. Pillsbury saying
this estimate of cost to the tax
payers can be cut If veterans are
encouraged to act for their own
protection and If citizens and COM
munities cooperate in offering pre-
ventive treatment.
The association now is raising
funds for its fight against the
disease.
fa Care Of syphilitic veterans OF
World War I cost taxpayers $82,-
000,00 up to June 80, 1910, DR.. Pills
bury said.

Apartment Owners
Send SfeeIman Plea
For 15% Rent Boost
BY III. A..oeiussd Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-George
M. Englar, president Of the National
Apartment Owners Association, an
nounced today he had taken directly
to Reconversion Director John r
Steelman the groups plea for a Is
per cent increase in rents.
In letter which Mr.. Englar said
summarized statements given to Mr.,
Steelman at the White House Fri
day, the association argued that
control lis freezing people out OF
places to live-space is so cheap
that people retain it unnecessarily :
Burton E. Edwards, secretary
treasurer of the California State
Apartment Conference, presented
figures from Los Angeles to sustain
this argument.
He said the average unit there
housed 3.06 persons before the war,
Now, he declared, the figure Is Ill
About $4,000 units in Los Angeles
are capable of housing ABS, 600, he
reported, but occupancy is only 228,-
600.
Some units undoubtedly are go
ing on strike" the letter asserted
on the contention that rents are Is
per cent below the average of 10
prewar years.
"It is difficult for our members
to understand why our industry
has been Disseminated against
when all others have been decon-
trolled," the letter declared.
1t suggested the solution is adop-
ton of a proposal already approved
by the OPA's Housing Rent Industry
Advisory Committee. 1t would de-
control buildings which offered ten
ants years lease at an increase of
not more than Is per cent. The
association argued this would per-
NIT an equitable increase but would
protect tenants against greater
boost.

Funds For
Conservation Available
To Holmes Farmers
Nearly $780, 600.
Moy Be Used In
Stote Till January

Unlimited funds for assistance to
Holmes county farmers in carrying
out fall practices under the Agricu-
ltural Conservation Program is the
result of recent action of the State
PIMA Committee, E. r. Trotman,
County Administrative Officer, ann
ounced here today.
Up to now under the 1946 prog
ram the amount of assistance avail
able to each individual farm has
been limited. This limit was govern
ed by the amount of cropland and
pasture land on the farm. The pur-
pose of the limit was to assure that
each farmer in the state had oppor-
tunity to use his share of the six and
one-third million dollars made avail
able in the state under the National
farm conservation program. Reports
from county committees up to Sept
ember /, Mr.. Trotman says, show
that individual farms for the entire
state have obtained county commit
ee approval for practices that total
only $4,000, 600, leaving a balance of
nearly one and a half million doll
ars to be used before January /, 1947
The purpose of the state committee
in removing individual farm limits,
he said, is to permit farmers who
have already used their farm limit
to obtain additional assistance in
carrying out practices. with the
tremendous need of Mississippi farm
land for erosion control and other
conservative measures" Mr.. Trot-
man said, 1--WE can i'll afford to fail
to use funds which Congress has
made available for farm conservat-
ion practices" In most cases the
Federal assistance amounts to 1880
% of the cost of carrying out the
practice.
Practices for which unlimited as
sistance is available for the remain
der of 1916 are applications of lining
materials, construction of terraces,
fumes in gullies, secondary drain
age bitches, firebreake in farm
woodlands, and for timber stand i'm
provement on farm woodland. Far
mers who desire assistance for cary
ing out these practices, I" Mr.. Trot-
man advised, Should contact the
county AAA office where additional
information and approval of the
practices will be given"
The County AAA Committee at
its last meeting appealed to all agri-
cultural agencies of the County to
join in a concerted effort to assist
County farmers in making maxim
UNI S of conservation funds which
have been made available to the
State.
