advisable to secure the advice

The same principles should be
observed in applying measures

are recommended for the con-
struction of new buildings. That
is, existing conditions that are
favorable for the development of
termite colonies in the soil and
that permit the passage of ter

be corrected. Termites that are
in the woodwork of the building
will die if they are prevented

Active Club Raps
Decorations Lack

Kennewick Activians, in meet
ing Tuesday evening at the Cot
tage, denounced the lack of Christ
mas decorations on the downtown
streets of the city, and unanimous
ly resolved that they would act to
make certain that the omission is
not repeated another year.
Speaking for the membership,
Active Club president Charlie Fox,
said: "Our members feel that more
is at stake than just the matter OF
expressing the Christmas spirit,
admirable and desirable as that is.
We feel that the complete lack OF
decorations is a reflection on the
community enterprise and spirit
of the town that will be noted, not
only by our own toWnspeople, but
by out of town visitors. We are
determined that another year Ken
|newick will be appropriately dress
ed for the holidays" =.
Activians also decided that their
installation dinner dance, to be
held January II at the Park View
Recreation Hall, would be infor-
NAL.

Race Scheduled

Planning an addition to your
family? The annual race with the
stork is on again and the Courier
Reporter is planning mighty
fine surprise for the number one
baby of 1947.
With the cooperation of local
stores, a box of valuable prizes
will be awarded to the first new
conner of the year. So popular was
last years event that many mer-
chants are reminding the Courier
they want to take part.
Boundaries of the prize zone
will be established along the lines
of the Third Commissioners dis
trict. That will include our atomic
neighbors in Richland and the
lower river area to Plymouth. That
will provide Kennewick with a
considerable amount Of competi-
ton.
Last years winner was Lofts

duct.

Buy at Home

Buy at home appears TO be a
slogan that can well be applied
to the purchase of auto licenses.
A recent survey Of registra-
tions of one make Of car re-
vealed that 80 of them owned
in Benton county are licensed in
Franklin county. Only one
Franklin county car Of that make
was registered in Benton county.
While we are sure that large
numbers Of Benton residents
are not averse to driving a car
with Franklin license. the
practice does have harmful re-
suits.
Car registrations are used as
a key to local trade in many
surveys. Il is doubtful If the
surveyors would look far enough
to determine exactly where the
car owners live and where they
buy their groceries.
You can help put your county
in the right statistical column
by buying your license at home.
II can be purchased in Kenne.
wick at the L. e. Johnson agency.
Buy early and avoid the rush!

tude of powerful daily papers on

changed since election and they
are now opposing it. Therefore re-

Plan to Move
Lab 10 Prosser

Following a meeting Of agricul-
tural and cannery men and repre-
sentatives of chambers of COM
merce, the Board Of Regents Of
Washington State College has
taken action on the matter Of es-
tablishment of food laboratories.
The action carries out the recon-
mendations of President Wilson
Compton made as result Of the
discussions.
Following is the action taken
by the board on December 9:
"That the State College Of WASH
ington establish at the Western
Washington Experiment station, a
laboratory for investigations in the
refrigeration and processing Of
fruits and vegetables, and that IL
provisions in the present budget
are not adequate for this purpose
a supplementary request be made.
"That the Board of Regents
recommend to the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture that the lab
oratory for investigations in the
processing Of fruits and vege-
tables, now located at Pullman,
be moved to the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station at Prosser."
Discussion at the meeting show
ed that the Western Washington
professors especially needed as
sistance in the freezing Of fruits
and vegetables. The Eastern WASH
ington group was more concerned
with methods of utilizing food by
products. x
President Compton made his
recommendations on the basis
that the two areas had widely d.
vergent problems and assistance
was needed in research in both
cases.
