Of securing work permits before
they can take fruit picking or food
processing jobs during the sum-
mer.
Noting that the cherry picking
season will be in full swing with
in the next few days, Desgranges
cautioned that applications should
be filed at once since permits are
not returned from the Department
of Labor and Industries in Olym-
pia in less than four or five days.
Office personnel at the Big Y and
the Pasco Growers will supply
work application forms upon re-
quest and will assist with their
completion. Birth certificates
must also be submitted.
Youthful pickers, who held
permits last year, will be required
to apply for renewal. The permits
were formerly issued from the
local office of the department
Pasco, but this service has been
discontinued.

Highlands S.B.S
Hears Reports On
Livestock Show
BY BEVERLY PYLE

The Highland S. B. S. Club met
at the Highland Clubhouse, May
IA, 1947, under the leadership of
Mr.. Switzer. There were nineteen
members present.
Everyone was interested in the
Spokane Show last week. John
Robinson, who was chosen for
the judging team, spoke about his
experience judging from the
bleechers among the other menu
bers Of All and FLA, from the
northwestern states. The boys
who took projects to the show at
Spokane did rather well for be-
ginners. John r. took two lambs;
the small one took a medium and
his large lamb took a good. Ed
ward n. took a steer and brought
a white ribbon.
After discussing the main
events there, Mr.. Switzer. told
us how he enjoyed the trip and
spoke about the swine judging
and the placing.
Norman Kass had a great hog,
but it was a few pounds over
weight so he was unable to show
it. He sold it though. Herby F.
also took a couple of fine steers
and came out with money ahead.
Mr.. James, the County Agent,
came in during the meeting and
gave his viewpoint on the show,
and promised to help us straighten
out our bad points and make a
success of our club.
The meeting was closed and
coke and cookies were served.
All members that were absent
from our recent meeting, be sure
to attend this next meeting, be-
cause we are going to plan for the
'Hay Ride and Weiner Roast"
at Benton City May 81, 1947.

and pension were allowed. In
the search for documents, old
friends Of the person involved
were rediscovered, one close to
her, so that to the welcomed fl
nancial support was added the Joy
of renewing old acquaintance. The
work Of the ARC home service in
supplying food packages to prison
erS Of war is well known, as is
the fact that many returned pris:
oners thank these packages for
their survival. To men held pris-
oners by the japanese, the ARC
was the only possible means Of
communication, and for this Home
Service is praised by families and
men alike.
To veterans and their depend
ents, and to the dependents Of
deceased service men and veter-
ans, Home Service offers guild
ance and counseling in personal
and family problems, financial as
sistance during temporary periods
of adjustment and in emergencies,
and referral service to other
agencies better able to help. Aid
in arranging needed hospitaliza-
ton or medical treatment is also
given, as is assistance in present
ing claims for pensions, benefits,
and assistance in filing other
necessary papers, and informa-
ton concerning government regu-
lations and legislation applying to
the veteran, and the report Of
necessary information to the Vet.
Grams Administration.
To men in service it offers these
services plus notification of fur
loughs, reports on families, and
communication between service
man and family when normal
means of contact are unsuccessful,
in an emergency, or when per-
sonal visit by a Red Cross repre-
sntative is needed. It aids the
civilian in makingi inquiries, send
ing messages, supplying informa-
ton, and reporting on inquiries.
