wick Community Players will pre-
sent The Admirable Crichton"
by James M. Barrie in the Ken
newick High School auditorium.
Curtain time will be Sis %. m,
and tickets will be on sale at the
door. ...
This will be the second pre-
sentation by the Community
Players, formerly the Mask and

Lewis, Ruby johnson and Bob
by Tinsman.
The play begins in the London
home Of Lord Loan, played by
Stephen Selby, who is lovable
but eccentric in his ideas of DEM
ocracy and equality. His insist
ance upon a monthly tea where
his daughters and friends enter
tain the servants of the house.
hold as equals is the source of
extreme annoyance to his peers
and shame and embarrassment to
the servants. Crichton played by
Bob Matheson, feels that his mas
ter is not sufficiently contemp-
tuous of his interiors and SUI
fers horribly when Lord Loan
expands upon his advanced idea
Of equality.
Henry Hammock, as the Hon.
Ernest Wooley is selfish but
likeable bachelor who loves epi-
grams first, and the pursuit of
ladies second. The fact that the
daughters of the house pay little
attention to him and his cpl
grams is influriating for a
moment.
OF the daughters, Lady Mary
Jean Horsley) is the eldest, be-
ing twenty-five, and is OF a nat
ural hauteur which is at once the
fury and envy of her sisters.
Catherine Leah Hembree) is 20,
and Agatha Eunice Oswald two
years yunger. All are very fash
ionable young women who might
- Just might - wake up for q
dance, but they are all very lazy
and give the appearance Of be-
ing about to fall asleep in the
middle of remark.
Linn Tinsman, playing Mr.. Ire
herne, is an athletic, pleasant
faced young clergyman, and Ray-
mond Pascheas) Lord Brockle-
hurst is. nothing, save for his
rank. In the role OF Tweeny,
Ruby johnson is a shy, confused
young kitchen maid.
These are the human elements
that produce the sharp and sop
histicated humor Of the play
wright, when the entire group
are cast up on desert island,
where they must SHIT for them
selves.
The production staff is headed
by Molly 10 Finnigan, who is
assisted by Henry Hammock,
MARCO FELTON,, Bettijane Block,
Gail Mcintosh, Don Mcintosh,
Edora Lewis, Al Kissler, Cath
crime Maupin, Dorothy Fox and

Light Strawberry Crop
Assures Labor Supply

An adequate supply of farm
labor seems assured for the
strawberry harvest according to
c. E. Ridley, Farm Labor office
field assistant. Cool weather has
retarded the ripening of berries.
he states, and fields that should
be in full production are only
being harvested every other day.
The asparagus harvest has
passed its peak, and many fields
are being abandoned, he said.
Some tents are still available at
the Farm Labor camp for transit
ent farm workers.

Growers Plan 10
Fight Fruit Fly

laid plans for an effective Cherry
Fruit Fly control program at
meetings in Prosser, Benton City,
and Kennewick last week.
q Nearly 100 growers attended
these meetings where the latest
control measures were discussed
by Harold G.. Schulz, Asst. Coun-
ty Agent of Benton County.
According to Mr.. Shulz, air
plane busting with three quarters
of one percent rotenone dust at
the rate of SO pounds per acre
is one of the most effective con-
troll measure known to date for
this area. This method is sup
erior to ground spraying or dust
ing because the fly cannot escape
the dust as is often the case
where ground equipment is used.
Other control measures that
cherry growers should use in
controlling this fly are:
1. Clean pick all trees includ-
ing pollenizers and seedlings.
2. Use only clean boxes, burn
ing any cherries that may come
on the boxes on transfer.
3. Use a lead arsenate spray
in the orchard after the fruit has
been picked.
Preserved specimens of the fly
were on display at the meeting
and growers were shown how
to trap and identify this pest.
Benton County produces some
of the earliest and finest sweet
cherries grown in the North
west and every precaution is be.
ing taken to safeguard this crop
from damage by this insect.

FARMERS

Farmers have always objected
to daylight saving time. It seems
that cows and chickens don't
change over that readily just by
moving the hands of clock.
However as we remember our
0ys on the farm the farmer al
ways went in for daylight saw
ins. The only trouble was it was
on both ends.

One prepayment Of the idea uses
the argument that it would result
in a decided civic improvement.

| Part Of Record Lost
In Hesse Jewel Case

Loss of what the prosecution
described as "a small and unim-
portant part" Of the record was an
nounced today to the court martial
board trying Col. Jack w. Durant in
the Hesse Jewel theft conspiracy.
Maj. Joseph s. Robinson, chief of
prosecution counsel, told the board
in session at the Pentagon that a
part of the stenographic notes from
one days testimony was missing and
he would like to present six
affidavits to the court detailing cir
|cumStances of the loss.
Maj. Joseph Bryan Of defense
counsel argued that loss of any
part of the record had a real and
vital" bearing on the outcome of
the trial. 1t was indicated the de-
tense would move for a mistrial
unless the loss can be satisfactorily
repaired.
Maj. Bryan said that he felt the
loss of any section of the record
would deprive his client of this sec
ton of the testimony for considers
tion by review authorities.
The court was recessed shortly be-
fore noon, subject to call of the
president Of the board, while mem
bers considered the question of the
missing testimony. 1t was said un-
officially, after the recess, that an
Army officer, innocent of any motive
in the Durant case, had "appropri-
ated" a dictation machine needed
badly by his Office staff. The ste
nographer who operated the ma
chine, it was said, was unable to
read the notes in the machine and
did not preserve them.
The international trial began last
December in Frankfurt, Germany
and was transferred to Washington
almost a month ago to facilitate the
hearing of witnesses in the United
States. Well over a million words
have gone into the record of the
court martial and two alleged CO.
conspirators of Col. Durant have
been convicted and sentenced to
prison. They are former WAC Capt.
Kathleen Nash, whom Col. Durant
married last June, and Maj. David
Watson.

his organization wants only three
controls retained.
He said he would urge the hous-
ing expediter to keep the $50, 900, :
900 weekly limitation on non
residential construction, the limit
of 1,500 square-feet of floor space for
new dwellings, and veterans prefer

the Disabled American Veterans.

A number Of veterans organiza-
tions are understood to believe re-
tention Of ceilings on new for sale
construction would mean no benefit
to veterans because prices are al
ready "out Of reach
As for rent ceilings on new rental
dwellings, certain veterans groups
contend this Is a hindrance to a
large rental housing program.
Other regulations now in effect
provide for Government ALLEGATION
OF materials to makers Of building
supplies, give such manufacturers
special assistance IN obtaining ma
terials, limit new dwellings to one
bathroom, require that new hous-
ing be suitable for year-round
occupancy, and establish sales and
rental ceilings on houses built under

 Mss CocaraNe, " oso re2-- quarters are in tho natou , Q l e' at Bethesda, Maryland, eNpe~,s to be in Alaska from fcur to six months, gathering and installing data for complete new register ing system for tuberculosis records and control.
 The register system is the most up-to-date method of expediting tuberculosis control and supervision It makes for efficient control both of the individual case and of the overall program.
 Alaska, stated Miss Cochrane, has approximately nine times as much tuberculosis as does the United States proper, The U. s. has, in round figures, 40 cases of tuber- culosis per 100000 population. Alas ka, she says, has 360 cases per l00,- eco population. Denmark, with the lowest tuberculosis rate in the world, has three cases per 100000 people.
 If Alaskans did their case report ing as carefully and efficiently as It now is possible to do, this Terri tory could have tuberculosis rate as low as that in Denmark, said the new snalyst.
 Miss Cochranes job consists largely Of making out forms to go into file--something new-called the Visible Type File.
 The Visihle Type File is the best record equipment available, the came as is used in t-e U s. Public -ealth Service Experimental sta ton. Its value in contrcllin1 the tuberculosis program in Alaska ii limited only by the efficiency of the case reporting in the Terri ory' Ire usefulness of the file will be dependent directly upon an effic- tent and constant flow of reports on every individual case of the dis case in Alaska.
