sweep in and wet the fruit, crack
ing and running it if the bright
sun comes on before the moiS-
ture has evaporated slowly.
Such a menace loomed Tues
day morning. County Extension
Agents Harold Schulz and Dave
James were roaming the orchards
of the area, and considering the
possibility that a helicopter might
have to be flown in from Yakima
to hove over the cherry-laden
trees, drying them with its mach
inc made breezes.
By eleven o'clock they were
sure that the harvest was safe.
A light breeze and overcast skies
conspired to dry the dangerous
wetness off the cherries, before
the sun came out. A loss to
growers and processing plant
workers that might have ranged
from $15O,O0O to 100000 in lost
markets and pay checks had not
materialized.
The cherry run at the Big Y
is at its peak today, with the
prospect that Monday will see
it finished, Manager Kinney Des-
oranges said. L. D. Red) Hide
brand reported from the Pasco
Growers that their run is 60 per
cent complete, and estimated its
completion either Saturday or
Monday.
This years tonnage is light,
and quality of the cherries is un-
der that of previous harvests,
Hildebrand stated, attributing the
diminished yield to high spring
winds that whipped the branches
and SCARED the young fruit.
Heavily laden trees, he explained,
sustained less damage because
their weightier branches resisted
the winds.
Notwithstanding the lessened
yield, workers at the Bly, Y pack
ed 5000 boxes of cherries Tues
day, and three loaded cars were
ready to roll out today, freight
ing an estimated $500 pounds
of Bings. Packing at the Pasco
Growers was running about 1000
boxes a day as lighter tonnages
forced production to outputs
greatly under the normal run.
Charles Stol and Winston Brady,
manager of plant operations and
traffic manager for the Yakima
Fruit Growers Association, visit
ed Kennewick's Big Y Tuesday.
Cherry picking is generally un-
derway as far west as Yakima,
they said.
The Bing cherries grown in
the Kennewick district are among
the largest and fanciest raised,
on the average grading larger
than California cherries, County
Extension Agents Schultz and
James said. Usually the earliest
cherries in Washington, the Ken
newick fruit was ready for mark
ct this year about ten days in adj
vance of the cherries in Oregon,
Western Washington, and the
Okanagan and Wenatchee area.

SOLUTION
Like most meetings of the Club
M solution was brought out.
There n was the usual babbling
about the city council, community
nride. service clubs, etc. It's
, the old story of belling the cat.
Last year a cleanup day was
held at Twin City and trem-
Sndous amount of junk, cans and
auto bodies were hauled away.
However, even that amount did
not make much of a dent in the
total. We suggested at the time
that the group organize itself
into a permanent cleanup squad
and keep on until the job was
completed.
EYEsonE

The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1947-06-05

Our suggestion was that dues
In the organization could be paid
by so many hours of work per
month. If the time is not put in
a cash assessment should be levi
ed. It would not be necessary
for a big group to get out every
Sunday. Small squads working
evenings or Sunday mornings
could accomplish wonders. Trucks
and equipment can be made
available.
FUTURE
Nor can we see any reason
why the organization couldn't be
made permanent. Suppose all
junk, weeds, etc., are all cleaned
up. The group could then go on
from there with a program of
general Identification. Where
water is available trees and
shrubs could be planted with a
fair chance of receiving continu-
ed care. How about small but
well kept city entrances? Or
some simple land-scaping of pub
lie buildings? Or establishment
and care of small Fairgrounds on
vacant lots for smaller kids?

Underground Warns
By the Assoeioted Press

BEVERLY HILLS. Calf, July 10.
Fear that Virginia Hill thrice
wed Alabama girl now in Paris,
may be marked for gangland-
style death similar to that which
snuffed out the life Of Benjamin
(Bugsy) Siegel In her home here
June 20 was expressed by Police
Chief G. H. Anderson,
He disclosed he had been in
formed by an underground source"
that a pair of asssssins" are en-
route to Paris to take care of
Miss Hill, who departed for the
French capital two weeks before
an unidentified assailant fired a
fusillade of bullets into the former
public enemy. He indicated, how
ever, he was not unduly impressed
with the tip.
Chief Anderson said it had been
learned that Miss Hill and Siegal, AZ,
quarreled violently before she start
ed on her Paris trip from Los Vegas,
New, where he owned part interest
in the Swank Flamingo gambling
casino. Her brother Charles said
she previously had discussed mar
riage with Siegel.
The police chief said he had
cabled French police requesting pro-
lection for Miss Hill and had also
airmailed a number of questions he
wants them to ask her, pertaining to
her associations with Siegel.
Meantime, in San Francisco, State
Investigator Walter Lentz disclosed
he had uncovered information that
lIst before his death Siegel had de-
livered an ultimatum that his rae
ing service would be moved into the
San Francisco Bay area, regardless
Of consequences.
"All my information tends to in
dicate the motive behind the Staying
is the wire service, rather than mar
cotics or any other matter" Mr.
Lentz said.
In Las Vegas last night Hill and
Jeri Mason, Virginia's secretary, OBJ
tanned a marriage license. Later
they told friends they had been
married and were departing for
Florida on their honeymoon.
