Club Moves 10
Warn bumpers

AT its~regular meeting last Fri
day evening, the Highlands I'M
provement Club in response to
the Sidewalk Reporters "squawk'
took decisive action to abote the
nuisance of dumping along the
highways around Kennewick.
It was brought out during the
discussion of this wanton practice
that the Kennewick Irrigation
District has a standing reward OF
$4,000 for the arrest and convic-
ton of anyone found littering the
land owned by the district with
garbage and trash. To this amount
the Club has added $1,000, and
three individual members, Frank
Lampson, Forrest Gragg and Bruce
Lampson pledged another $500
each.
Since most of the violations are
committed on lands within the dis
trict itself, claims for the reward
would not be difficult to substan-
tiate.
Kennewick Highlands farmers,
like all farmers around KenneWlck
are proud of their farms appear
ance, and that of the whole dis
trict. They take this method-in-
creasing the existing reward-to
warn the trash bumpers against
further violations.

Drive 10 Control
Burning Of Trash

Strict control of trash burning
in open fire containers throughout
the business district was promised
today by Fire Chief Herb Malchow
who Tuesday was authorized by
the City Council to cite offenders
into municipal court.
Careless trash burning practices
in the downtown area create a
fire hazard to all business property
that must be eliminated, Malchow
said. Infringement Of ordinances
governing open fire, will result in
fines in the future, he continued.
To qualify with legal require
ments, incinerators must be COW
cred. IL they are of wire mesh,
the interstices must be not more
than two inches square. Malchow
advised that all precautions pos
sible be taken to avoid flying
sparks.

Chamber Defers
Action on Time
Change Proposal

Members of the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce declined at
their last regular meeting to take
action at this time on proposal
from the Pasco Chamber of Com
merce that a united stand be
reached in the twin cities on the
adoption of daylight saving time.
In moving the action, E. S.
Black noted that no one Kenne-
wick group could justly speak for
residents of the entire city and the
surrounding rural area, and sug-
gested that the Pasco chamber be
notified of the Kennewick cham
ber's readiness to reopen consider
alton of the proposal next year, if
some poll can be taken of the SEN
timent throughout the locality.

Summary
Wet, cloudy weather brought
relief to drying pastures, hope of
better yields on over two million
acres of field crops, including
other grains, potatoes, vegetables,
caneberries and hay. On the
other hand, rain damaged high
percentage of the commercial
sweet cherry crop in the Wenat-
chez and Yakima districts. It
softened m a ture strawberries
ready for harvest and caused flash
floods and erosion of crop land in
several localities. Considerable
quantities of hay cut just prior
to the storm were damaged in
quality. Hail struck in a narrow
strip in southeastern Washington
with considerable crop loss on a
few farms.

than a week ago. However, rains
came too late to help wheat on
many lower levels where some
fields will not be cut. Bing cher
ries only about a third of q nor

Ke11,lezvick Second In
Response to X-ray Unit

1910 back from its position of
number one killer to seventh
place. But TB still leads as the
most communicable of major dis
eases.
X-ray findings are confidential,
and reports to individuals are
made in about three weeks from
the time of the X-ray. If in
dications of tuberculosis are dis
covered, a consultation between
patient and family doctor follows,
and treatment starts at once to
arrest it and render it non-com-
municable.
The physician may prescribe
restricted activity, home care,
sanitation treatment or other
measures. But the important
thing is that a patient, who may
have had TB for as long as a
year or two years, can arrest
the course of the infection and
cease to communicate tuberculo-
sis to others.
The mobile X-ray equipment
of the State Health Department
ranks as one of the most effec-
tive fighting units ever develop
ed in the war against TB. By
detecting carriers of the malady,
it saves thousands of individual
lives and prevents the spread of
infection to additional thous-
ands.
The mobile unit was brought
to KenneWick at the request of
DR.. Charles Tudor, health officer
for the Benton Franklin District
Health Office, and operated un-
der the co-sponsorship of the
health district and the Tuber-
culosis League.
When working at top speed,
technicianS can turn out -X-rays
at the rate of five a minute, or
three hundred an hour. Seldom
is the pace attained, however,
since the actual number of ex-
posures per minute is controlled
by the rapidity with which vol
unteer workers can record and
process individuals for X-raying.
Kennewick's staff of volunteer
workers, headed by Blanch Pratt
and Flora Dickinson, president
and executive secretary of the
Benton County tuberculosis Lea
que, included Esther Beinhart,.
Marjorie Mitchell, Grace Ed
wards, Florence Owens, and
Florence Smith.
