Gro els Urged 10
List Labor Needs

Farmers are urged to place their
needs for asparagus cutters with
their farm labor office as early as
possible. Phone 1902, from am.
to 4 pm. After office hours phone
1881. AS no central housing unit
will be available for the transient
worker this year, the job of getting
the worker and farmer together
will be more difficult.
The demand for stoop labor will
be greater than last year as a large
number of acres have been added
to the asparagus fields.
Housing still seems to be the
greatest drawback in the farm la
Dor picture. There will be a farm
labor office opened in Prosser
about April I. Mrs. Pearl Burnham
Of Prosser win be in charge and
will give all assistance possible in
helping the farmers to secure la
Dor.

Award County
Emergency ands

Benton county's current expense
fund was enriched this week to the
extent Of $75,O0O from the State
War Emergency fund. This was
done in recognition of the fact that
the county has lost heavily In tax
revenue from the area now includ-
ed in the Hanford project which is
exempt from county levies. Fur.
thermore the increase Of popula-
ton In the county has added con.
stderably to the expense Of opera
ton.
The county will soon call for
bids on several road oiling Jobs.
Those roads oiled last spring will
be seal-coated. Included Ga the
oiling program for this spring are
several small sections Of roads
that have caused maintenance
problems. The extension Of Gum
street and Of Hartford street al
well a. q half mile Of tenth ave-
nue. are included.

No Mexicans For
Grass Season

No definite agreement has yet
been signed for bringing Mexican
farm laborers to this area this year,
Walter Click, county agent, has
been informed. Mr.. Click states
that even should such an agree
ment be reached now it would be
too late to get workers here In
time for asparagus cutting.
However, he states, that workers
will be available If the growers can
provide adequate housing. He
urges growers to make every eff
fort to provide living quarters for
these workers.
The % Mexican Nationals here
now will stay until a definite
agreement is reached.

Fiinish of
Survey is

ton of surveys for the Ken
newick Highlands irrigation
project. Members of the
Chamber of Commerce Irri-
cation committee and direct
ors of the Kennewick district

concentrations.
It is expected that with SUBJ
mission Of the completed report to
Washington q senate amendment
to the Bureaus appropriation bill
will be introduced to provide funds
for the project. Senator Hugh
Mitchell has signified his intention
Of following this procedure.
A similar action in December
failed because the report had not
been completed. It is felt now that
because Of the immediate need for
land for settlement that the pro-
ject will be given favorable con-
sideration.
The Bureaus appropriation
measure Il in the House now and
it is expected that IL will reach the
Senate early next month.
A group from Kennewick will
attend meeting Monday In Spo-
kane Of the Columbia Basin com.

ted the Kennewick delegation to

ject feel elated over the present

Council Rejects
Claims Against
Avenue B Sewer

Disposal OF business In respect
to the Avenue B sewer held the
spotlight at Tuesday nights ses-
sion Of the Kennewicl city coun-
Gil. A resolution was adopted to
reject all claims filed with the
city arising out Of the construc-
ton work. This was done on the
grounds that the claims are COW
cred by the contractors liability
and property damage insurance
or by his performance bonds fled
by his surety. Claims are not
recognized as the city's liability.
Work on the sewer itself has
been completed and the line Is In
operation. However, q consider
able amount Of cleanup work
and the repaving Of Washington
street has not been done. The
city will inform the surety COM
pany Of the present status Of the
job and it is expected that ad-
justment will be made soon.
Several residents Of the area
traversed by the sewer visited the
council and pointed out that they
would not be able to proceed
with their spring farming until
the area IS cleaned up Of rocks
and fences repaired. A section
Of the main irrigation pipe serv-
ing that region has not been re-
placed and this will be necessary
before water can be supplied.
The city intends to withhold
any further payments on the con-
tract until all claims for damages
or materials have been satisfied:
The repaving Of Washington street
will necessarily be delayed until
the ground has had sufficient time
to settle. However the council
will require that the street be
made disable for the large amount
Of traffic.
A time extension has been grant
ed by the council for completion
OF the job. However, that time
expired on March Is: It was re-
ported that no work had been
done since March IL.
Because some minor TECHNICAL
ties arose in the legal description
of the property involved in TAX
ing Green Homes and Mob Hill
into the city the council was fore
ed to delay until the next regular
meeting final passage on the en-
abling ordinance.
Action was taken to vacate the
right Of way for. Avenue A be-
tween Kent and Lyle streets. This
was done contingent upon the
provision for right Of way for
Canal street from Kent to the east
line of Records addition. This
property is plated for building
addition which is to be started
soon. The one block Of Avenue
A will revert to adjacent proper
ty owners. At the present time
there is no outlet for the street.
An application to change the
classification of property on Fruit
land and Avenue e to a CONNER
cial zone was referred to the
planning commission.

choral music under the direction Of
Prof. Gunnar J. Malmin. The To-
cal appearance of this famous sing
ing organization is sponsored by
the Lutheran Churches of these
communities.
The program is made up of the
great choral music of many lands
and many ages. The sixteenth CEN
tury saw q marvellous develop
ment Of unaccompanied singing
which has probably never been
surpassed. The choir sings the
deeply moving 'sTenebrae Factae
Stunt" by the Italian composer, In
gegneri. Sixteenth century Eng
land is represented by the bril-
liant "Hosanna to the Son Of
David" by Orlando Gibbons.
Outstanding examples Of six
teenth century German music are
found in the joyful 20 Sing Unto
The Lord" by Hassler and the
highly dramatic "The Righteous
Perisheth," by Johan Christoph
Bach, distinguished uncle Of the
better known Johan Sebastian
Bach, gigantic eighteenth century
composer, whose jubilant "All
Breathing Life" opens the concert.
Turning to more recent works,
we have the deeply reverent Set
ting Of the Lords Prayer" by
Gretchaninof, q fine specimen Of
the great Russian choral music.
From Norway we have the stirring
Goods Son Has Made Me Free, !"
by Edward Grieg.
Modern English and American
composers contribute the lovely
Sleep, Holy Babe" by Francis
Snow; the modern my Master
by Edward Shipper Barnes, and
"The Lord Bless YOU" by Lutkin.
The distinguished founder of the
st. Olaf Choir, F. Melius Christ
eansen, is represented by two great
chorale arrangements, 20 Won
drous Type" and 20 Bread of
Life" The conductor of the choir,
Mr.. Malmin, is responsible for the
arrangement Of the great Ameri-
can hymn, my Faith Looks to
Thee"
OF special interest is "Da Pacem,
Domine'-"Grant Peace, o Lord -
by Carljohan SchWenn, contem-
porary Danish composer. Mr..
Schwenn composed his Prayer for
Peace just before the outbreak of
World War II. He wrote a letter
to Mr.. Malmin about the work in
the fall of 1941-a letter which
was delivered four years later.
Coming from one of the occupied
nations of Europe, and expressing
the universal longing for peace,
the song is most timely.
A fine contribution to the pro-
gram is made by Miss Alice Stock
ton, prominent Tacoma violinist,
and student at Pacific Lutheran
College.
