a satisfactory water supply still
lies ahead. Well get them; but
not, I fear, with the patience OF

to go and not too long to make

These things we can cure; not

Bright uiure
aces Kennewiick
Area SAYS Nelson

"KenneWick horizons are unli-
mited," said Harold Nelson, as
sistent director of district l of
the Bureau of Reclamation in
speaking to Kennewick Kiwani-
ans Tuesday noon. Stating that
there are a million and a half
acres. of land to be developed
within 80 miles of Kennewick,
he urged that the city's growth
should be carefully planned for
full utilization Of this develop
ment.
The series of dams now author
lied on the Columbia and lower
Snake rivers will call for the
expenditure of $3.50, 100000 and
will result in a tremendous in
crease in development of land re-
sources.
Nelson described the action OF
congress in authorizing the Ken
newick project and said that the
bill was carried through In an
unprecedented short period OF
time. He attributed the success
Of the action to cooperation OF
many people within the commun-
ity and to the work of the Wash
ington delegation and especially
Congressman Hal Holmes, author
Of the bill. The action In congress,
he said, was evidence of the
soundness Of the project.
He predicted that the project
can be fully completed within
four years. Half Of that time
would be required to design and
manufacture equipment for the
project. e
The project will, he said, pro-
vide incomes for 1000 people on
the farms and in the local COM
munity, based on the experience
Of other projects.
Plenty Of water is available
for the project, he assured bis
listeners, and said that three and
. half acre feet would be de-
livered to the land.
Based on the 66-year repay
ment plan, the average cost to
the water users win be $7:21 per
acre, including operation ana
maintenance cost. Water users
will repay approximately 40 per
cent Of the construction cost of
$10,779,401 with power features
repaying the balance.
He explained that the 66-year
period was adopted in the author
fzation bill as a compromise from
the original plan calling for Is
years. The shorter period was
established by the bureau as well
within the repayment ability Of
farmers on the new land.
Nelson has worked closely on
the Kennewick project plans and
has for years been familiar with
its possibilities. He was connected
with the Roza project for nine
years.

AS Tenap,ls Fugits
BY HAL CLARK

All of which is purely apo
cryphal and probably doesn't
mean a thing except that it high
lights one Of the difficulties OF
taking vacation. Regardless OF
the fact that a man, deprived OF
normal cares, feels for a time
as useless as a combine at the
end of wheat harvest, it all
works out after while. He finally
stops vibrating like cheap jail
lopy and begins to take a long
gander t. the things that have
had him in such a sweat. Reduc-
ed to normal perspective, they
don't stack up so high.

: It must be, as philosophers have
contended, that time is con-
tinuous stream. When you're rid
ing your own little current the
flow seems pretty slow and hum
drum. But, if you can get out or
the bank for a time and watch
the, river, its velocity will astound
you.
. - .
In this regard the bank-side
observer is prone to agree with
the sages that patience is a vir-
tue. After all, look what it did
for Job. Old Job stuck it out ev-
en- when those boils got pretty
troublesome, and the good Lord
eventually wearied of Fostering
him and concluded that he was
definitely a solid character.
. . .
Still it is possible that too little
attention has been given to the
virtues of impotence.
.
A little dose of that might mo.
tivate a modern Job to seek medi.
cal attention instead Of numbly
and dumbly suffering through
his torment.

Social Security
Man 10 Be Here
Next Wednesday

A. r. Boettcher, manager OF
the Yakima field office of the
Social Security administration, adj
vised today that he will be in
Kennewick, Wednesday, October
q, at the Commercial Hotel from
100 p. m. to 500 p. m.
Boettcher urged persons, who
have worked in commerce and in
dustry since 1886, and who are
IS years old and over, to contact
him at the time in respect to fill
ing claim for their federal old
age insurance. Wives of workers
IS years old and over should ac-
company their husbands, he said,
and bring whatever evidence they
may have with them which will
indicate their age.
Survivors benefits, Boettcher
states, are payable to surviving
spouses and their unmarried chill
dreen under Is years of age. APP
plications on behalf of minor chi
dren and widows should be accom-
panied with birth and marriage
records.
A delay of more than three
months in filing an application
for monthly benefits may result
in loss of benefits, as such bene-
fits cannot be paid retroactively
for more than three, months, he
cautioned.
Where there is no surviving
spouse or minor children under Ii
years Of age, then, according to
Boettcher, whoever pays the bur-
ial expenses should present his
office with an itemized paid bur-
ial receipt and make a claim for
lump sum settlement.

ton field office serving this area

Government Holding
Line Against Initiation
In Synthetic Rubber
by the Assoeio,sd Press

One place has been found at last
where imitation has not reared its
ugly head. It's in the synthetic
rubber industry, owned by the Gov
ernment. .s
You can buy the stuff today for
181a cents pound-the same price
it sold for during the war years,
which saw the industry burst from
babyhood into maturity almost
overnight.
The maintenance Of that price is
causing chests to swell with pride
around the Once OF Rubber Reserve
an arm of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. and manager of the
synthetic industry operated by
private corporations.
Run by BLUEPRINT from Congress.
Gerald Hadlock, q one-time banker
and flnar1cier, surrounded by a bat
terry Of experts from the private
rubber and petroleum fields, runs
the program to a blueprint from
Congress.
One of his assistants, Walter
MuIlSCcI, says the OuCeS a0lllCy TO
hold the price down in the face of
rising labor and raw material costs
is remarkable"
And the industry is more than
meeting the needs Of theS Nations
rubber goods manufacturers by pro-
ducing between 10000 and IS 1000
tons Of synthetic rubber monthly.
Is Plants Operating.
Eighteen plants are now operating
but about score Of others are in
standby condition. ready to be
plunged into production almost at a
moments notice.
Other units that made up the
wartime network of 81 plants have
been disposed of, either sold to
private producers Of synthetic or
converted to uses of other industry.
Congress requires the industry to
maintain plants able to produce at
least 100000 long tons of general
purpose rubber and $1,000 tons Of
special purpose rubber.
