Black Outlines Successful Year In
Kennewick Schools; Buy New Buses

Picturing the growth of the Ken
newick school system in the last
Is years, Supt. E. S. Black COM
pared the budgets Of 1888 and
1915. Total school expenditures
in 1888 were $4,000. Last year
reached an all-time high of $685.
600, which included some OF the
building expenditures.
sour cafeteria system alone Is
now almost as large an operation
as the whole system was in 1888,
Black said. 1--WE feed almost 1000
daily" H.
He stated that the growth had
not yet been felt in the Senior
High School. This years gradu-
ating class reached 50 while l22
freshmen were graduated, He ex-
planned that enrolment can be ex-
pected to continue at high Level
insamuch as most of the new peo-
pie in town are younger in aver
age age and are raising families.

0PA Boosts Small
Grains Ceilings

A. J. Thompson, chairman Of
the Benton county AGA states that
OPA, Department of Agriculture
and Office of Economic Stabaliza-
ton have agreed on new ceiling
prices for grains. The raises are
as follows: corn Is cents, wheat
Is cents, oats cents, barley 9
cents and rye 10 cents per bushel
To remove any uncertainty in
grain prices, it is expected that the
present ceiling prices shall remain
in effect till June 80, 1947. It is
hoped that these prices will bring
about better balance between
livestock numbers and the amount
of grain available for feed.
The world food shortage is ex-
pected to continue until the 1947
harvest, consequently all are urged
to Gull their poultry flocks, to sell
hogs at lighter weight mot over
225 pounds) and to sell cattle with
a minimum of grain feeding.
Mr.. Thompson says it is expect
ed that the ceiling price will be
the market price for next year.

Health Service
Available Free

Individual water supplies on

connected to public water sup
plies may be treated for purity and
sanitation without charge by the
Benton-Franklin Health Depart
ment, DR.. Tudor, Health Officer,
said today.
Zone of the departments func-
tions is seeing that such diseases
as typhoid fever are not spread by
unsafe water" DIR. Tudor said,
land this protection applies to
those who must obtain water from
their own wells as well as those
served by city water systems"
Forty-two cases Of typhoid fever
and two deaths were reported to
the State Health Department last
year, DR.. Tudor said, many OF
them traceable to unsafe water
supplies. We
Anyone wishing this service
shall call or write the Benton
Franklin Health department al
Pasco, stating name and the loca-
ton of the well. A representative
of the department will visit his
home, check the location and con-
struction of the well, and if these
are satisfactory, take sample OF
the water for laboratory analysis
1--WE do not send water sample
bottles without making an inspec.
ton of the well, since analysis OF
the water might give false sense
of security" DR.. Tudor said. "A
poorly-constructed well might give
satisfactory test one day, only
to have contamination show uI
the next day. For that reason we
take samples only from wells that
are free from surface drainage anc
other sources of pollution.

Wires Praise OF
Areas Asparagus

Two more letters from appreci-
alive recipients of air-shipped
Kennewick asparagus to Washing
ton have been received here. Both
are generous in their praise of
the choice product. Last week
the Courier-Reporter published a
similar letter from Michael Straus,
commissioner of the Bureau of
Reclamation. Following are those
from Clinton p. Anderson, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, and from
Oscar L. Chapman, Acting Sec
rotary of Interior:
81 received your wire of May
IA informing me that / was to
receive a crate of prize asparagus
from the Kennewick district.
"The asparagus was delivered
looking as fresh and delicious as
when it was cut. I think there is
hardly a green vegetable as tasty
as asparagus and our family had
some wonderful meals conferred
around your generous gift.
81 want you to accept my CRATE
full appreciation.
Sincerely yours,
Clinton p. Anderson"
"In the absence of Secretary
Krug who is in the Virgin Islands
attending the inauguration of
Governor HASTE, I received the
asparagus which the people of
Kennewick so kindly sent him.
I must confess that for this serv-
ice I have appropriated half of
the gift for Mrs. Chapman and
myself, and the remainder is
under refrigeration pending the
Secretary's return. I would like
to thank you both for him and
myself. .. ~

the people who grew it have every
right to be proud. We are certain
ly pleased that the Yakima rec
lamation project has had such an
obviously fruitful result.

TRANSFORMATION

The transportation problem
next year will not be as difficult

first postwar school bus delivered
in the state of Washington. It was
acquired through J. c. Pratt's
garage, Mack dealer. Another l.

During the war years buses
We're required to make double
trips. This was eliminated the
past year but buses were serious
ly overcrowded.

balance. .-.. RI.

Button
Snake hunters
Prove Argument

Button, button, who's got the
button?"
Two Kennewick residents with
scientific turn spent the day Fri
day seeking an answer to that age
old problem. Clad in the tradi-
tional ra m ent of explorers =
shorts, pith helmets, shiny putees,
the two started early with trused
retinue of pack boys.
All were in high spirits as the
small but determined party left
their ox-carts at a point east of
Badger Canyon. Marching to the
lifting strains of "Once There Was
Sailor Boy" led by Mayor j. G.
Pratt, the group 5auntily covered
three miles up the canyon without
a pause.
As the day wore on the heat be-
came terrific. As the canyon walls
became sleeper, one by one the
pack boys deserted, turning back
toward civilization.
But the leader pressed on, deter
mined to prove his point-rattle-
snakes, regardless Of their size,
have either rattles or buttons on
the ends of their tails.
But success was fleeing. The
sun burned past the zenith and
started dropping toward the Horse
Heaven horizon. The afternoon
became hotter and even the en-
thusiasm of the leader cooled. He
still kicked stones in search OF a
baby rattler (Crosalus Confluentas)
but his heart was not in the task.
Finally the sun was half hidden
behind the Horse Heaven horizon.
Scientist Pratt paused in the waste
Of sagebrush. His boys were all
gone. Only his fellow scientist, the
editor, remained of the original
party. :,
"Turn back If you wish," he said
dramatically chewing a sagebrush

Pratt Tuesday in telephone
message from the commander OF
the Pasco Naval Air station. The
Navy department has signed the
contract and it is in the mail and
should reach the mayors office
this week.
Opening Of the field gives rise
to considerable speculation as to
the possibilities of its use. Several
airplane. firms have been cycling
the field for some time. Columbia
Aircraft has already secured prop
erty adjacent to the field and have
a hangar and shop in blueprint
form.
Airline planners are studying
maps with a view of including
Kennewick as stopping point for
feeder line service. Zimmerly air.
lines has an application pending
for such service.
The recently formed tri-city
chapter of the National Aero
nautical association has in its plans
the development of the field as
base to serve the entire area.
In discussing the matter Tues
day night, Kennewick city coun-
cilmen pointed out that there was
no intention of deserving the Mob
Hill field in favor Of Vista. On
the contrary they plan to push
the development of that field as
rapidly as possible. It was pointed
out that experience has shown
that an airport as close as possible
to the center of the town has
proved the best policy.
Vista field was developed by the
Navy during the war and was
extensively used in connection
with the Pasco base for training
purposes. It was held by the Navy
on a lease from the city.

Return OF Young Veterans Enlivens
Kennewicks Business DEVELOPMENT

wick was something of an excep-
ton to the rule, because of the
proximity of history's grandest
scale experiment-the atom bomb
development at Hanford. But
there's a place in any town for the
young and the enterprising.
Typical of the venturesome
young veterans returning to take
their places in the Kennewick
business structure, is Joe Freer,
who has just purchased the Colum-
bia Market from Floyd Hodgson.
Mrs. Freer will be active with him
in the management of the bust
ness.
Their choice of Kennewick for
a place to go into business was,
Mrs. Freer confesses, the COM
promise of an Idaho boy and a
Texas girl. Eve drove around the
country" she says, Cooking for a
climate that was like Idaho and
Texas weather rolled into one"
Kennewick proved to be the ans
Wer.
Freer, a former resident of Bur-
ley, lQanO, Is grdQudte OF AL
bion State Normal college. He is
a veteran of five and a half years
service with the navy, the latter
part of which he spent as pilot
of ply. For year he was in
command of naval air facilities in
the Samoan islands. Freer held
the rank of lieutenant commander
when he entered on inactive duty
in February of this year.
Mrs. Freer still owns the mill
linery shop, called Pat Wiley
Freer, in Houston, Texas, which
she operated before her marriage.
The shop is being managed by her
mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Freer are living
at Park View Homes.

Cool Action Saves Home
From COmplete Fire Loss

Presence of mind on the part
of River Road householder saved
his house from complete destruc-
ton by fire early Tuesday morn
ing, Fire Chief Herb Malchow
says, when the Kennewick fire
company sped eight miles to the
scene of the blaze.
In view of the distance that had
to be covered by the fire fighters,
the entire building would have
been lost had not f. M. Kelso
closed off the fire-swept bedroom
from the rest of the house. Al
though all the clothing and fur
nishings in the room We're burned,
nothing else sustained damage. The
fire apparently started from the
electric wiring.

Groups Act On
Irrigation Ditch
ence Proposal

Fencing the Columbia Irrigation
ditch through town was the topic
of special meeting Friday of rep
resentatives of various interested
groups. DR.. Tom ellis was chair
man of the meeting.
Surplus fencing has been found
in sufficient quantity for the job
as well as steel posts at a reduced
cost. A special committee headed
by II. c. Rector was instructed to
make study of the proposal and
to make recommendations as to
what parts of the ditch should be
fenced and procedure to follow.
Many individuals have offered
financial assistance toward the
