Activians Hear
Talk By Benson

"Doc" Benson of Omalk, popular
vice president of Active Interna-
tional, visited the Kennewick club
Tuesday night and discussed in
ternal problems of the growing
service organization.
He pointed out that the club
faces financial problems because
of the lowered value of the dollar,
but that every attempt is being
made by international officers to
keep within income without re-
sorting to dues increases.
Benson was accompanied by
John Weisenberger and Gerald
Bramer of Omak as well as Ellis
johnson, Augie Wernitsch and Joe
Jewel of Toppenish and Walt Ga
no of Yakima.
The Toppenish group returned
visit from Kennewick Activians

the Kennewick club in a district
convention to be held in Yakima
late in May.
The club also discussed the pos
sibility of sending delegates to
the international convention to be
held in Calgary in July. Kenne-
wick has been represented In both
conventions in Aberdeen and Sac
ramento since the inception OF the
local club.

to the voters Of the COM
munity in the general
election this fall.
This is the plan which the hos
pital board announced last Octo-
Der, and by which they expect to
see the efforts of the community
TO secure the much needed inSti-
tuition brought to reality.
At its last session the needed
action was taken by the State Leg
islature upon the request Of the
Kennewick board and others,
making possible this program Of
procedure in Benton County. Pc
titions which define the district
boundaries, and other required
data are now in preparation and
will be circulated in the various
precincts when they have received
certification of the county officials.
When the required number Of
signatures have been secured they
will be placed before the county
quired In order to get the propo-
sition on the ballot and before the
citizens for their approval.
The formation Of hospital dis
trict follows almost the same plan
and set-up as does the formation
of the port district. The ballot
will also carry the names of those
proposed for election as hospital
district directors.
The entire financial program OF
the building of the hospital will
be financed by q very small tax
levy. upon the area included in
the district formed. 1t will make

The petitions which were cir

been corrected by the last legis-
lature and the way cleared for

Immediate financial and trans
portation assistance is being given
by the Atomic Energy Commits
sion to overcrowded schools in
six communities of the Hanford
Works area, Acc officials an
nounced today.
Agreements to assist the schools
have been signed by the Acc and
school boards in Pasco, Kenne-
wick, Benton City, Prosser,
Grandview and Sunny e.
Amounts to be received by each
community will vary from about
SIS, 900 to possibly $50, 900 a year,
based on the number of pupils
dependent on parents employed
at the Hanford project.
Each community affected by the
agreement also is to have the
use of Acc buses to help trans
port children to and from schools.
The number of buses loaned by
the Acc varies from one to nine
in each of the towns, according
to the number of pupils concerned
in the assistance.
With approval of a consultant
from the United States Office Of
Education and the State Depart
ment of Public instruction, it was
agreed that $24O a year will be
paid by the Acc for each pupil.
Payments will be made only for
pupils with one or more parents
employed at Hanrord Works and
if the child has been attending
the same school less than 49,
days.
Under terms of the agreements,
payment to schools will be retro
active to the beginning Of the cur
rent school year with monthly
payments in the future.
Hanford Works officials said the
educational assistance is made
possible by the Atomic Energy
Act of 1916, which authorizes pro-
vision for such action In the IN
terest of the welfare of employees
of atomic installations.

ny Congressman
Coming; to Look
Into Wafer Anqle

Members of the Kennewick
projects committee who had just
returned from Washington, re-
ported at a meeting of the Ken
newick Irrigation district board
last Friday night that Congress-
man Sterling Cole of New York
had promised to come to Kenne-
wick soon and that while he is
here he will investigate the need
for assistance on domestic water
facilities.
Forrest Gragg, one of the MEM
bers of the committee back from
Washington, told the irrigation
board that Congressman Cole
probably would arrive here some
time in April. Some assistance
had been given by the federal
government on schools because of
the crowded condition created by
/ the atomic, development proisct
at Richland and Hanford, and the
local committee members said
they were successful in convinc-
ing congressman in Washington
of the need for other assistance
here.
Kennewick and the areas TO the
west are keenly interested in a
more adequate domestic water
supply. e. j. Brand, secretary
manager of the board, said in
stallation Of a filtration plant,
one of the recognized needs Of
the community, should be under
one organization and there should
be only one filtration plant for
the area. At present the Kenne-
wick city area is served domestic
water by the Pacific Power &
Light company while the area to
the west is served by the PUD.
w. T. Eiffurt of the state health
department and DR.. Charles Tu-
dor, of the Benton-Franklin
health district, reported that five
years ago the health department
had recommended a filtration
plant for the area but that the
war and shortages of materials
stood in the way of carrying out
the project. He advocated an
engineers study. Members of the
, board said that the chloronator
in operation was in good condi-
ton and that used one was on
hand for emergencies. They said
the water from their system was
safe for domestic purposes, but
that big expansion of the sys-
tenn was necessary to serve the
west area properly. g.
Members of the board said
they were spending about $780,.
600 this year to meet new de-
mands and that this expenditure
had to be limited because no fl
nancial gain had been made SO
far from operating the system.
It has been said that the en-
tire domestic water system might
fall into the lap of the city OF
Kennewick, city officials hoping,
however, that such will not be
the case. E - <

Red Cross Funds
Pass so Percent
Mark, BAIL Says

A Tuesday night count of Red
Cross collections showed the Ken
newick fund raising drive past the
80 per cent mark, Julius M. BAIL,
campaign chairman revealed to-
day.
His report showed that COM
munity contributions had almost
doubled since Saturday, when q
countrywide check-up found Ken
newick collections totaling $535.25,
slightly over Is percent Of the So
500 quota.
At the same time, Benton City
collections were listed at 10 per-
cent, and Richland collections had
reached 40.2 percent. No report
was given from Prosset, where
fund raising activities opened at q
date later than that Tor the re-
mainaer OF the county. Progress
for the county at large was given
as 80 percent of quota.
Several neighborhood teams have
already turned in receipts from
their assigned areas, BAIL said, in
urging other volunteer groups tc
complete their work as soon al
possible.
He described the work of the
American Red Cross during the
recent floods In Whitman county
as typical of the aid brought tc
diSaSter-Stricken communities.
Red Cross national headquarters
in Washington, D. c., appropriated
$40, 900 for assistance to flood vic.
TINS Of the South Palouse river In
the Colfax and Pullman areas, he
said.
The entire sum viii be needed
to rehabilitate homes, business
properties, farms and the lit trail
er homes OF veterans which were
damaged by flood waters. Point.
ing out that no lives were loss in
the disaster and that actual des.
truction of property was held to a
minimum, BAIL pointed out that q
much greater need for assistance
might easily have existed.
As heavy rains and melting
SHOWS swelled the South Palouse
to near flood stage early in Janu.
airy, Chester. Page, disaster field
representative, was sent into the
area to assist the local Red Cross
chapter, which had been alerted
to the threat. Shortly afterward,
the river OVERLOOKED its banks, in.
undating sections of the cities, de-
posting in some instances as much
as Is inches of mud and silt in
homes and trailers, damaging per.
sonal effects and running merchan-
disc stocks stored in the basement
of small business establishments
AS proportions of the disaster
grew, five other disaster workers
were assigned to work with Page
in the affected area, BAIL related
BAIL also announced the follow
ing new appointments of volun-
teer workers who will assist teams
already in the field: Mrs. Grace
Roberts and Mrs. Janet Tickle,
Avenue G; Mrs. w. F. Sonderman
and Mrs. Sam Schuster, both Of
whom will captain teams in the
Kennewick Valley neighborhool;
Mrs. J. r. Ayers, team captain foY
the Finley and Hover area; and
Mrs. Duffy, who will solicit the
]. c. Penney building.
