Called John Neuman to Tackle Super DeLuxe Boat Model this Time John Neuman, Kennewick’s No. 1 boat enthusiast, reveals that he has sold his 32-horsepower outboard runabout to C. E. Hunt. John’s boat, constructed by him during his spare time eight years ago (before he was married) has been a familiar sight on the Columbia River almost every Sunday of the boating season. It was the fastest. boat on the river for many years. and its speed is now exceeded only by three or four of the many boats in this vicinity. and in appearance it looks just as it did the day it was first launched. John reveals that he has plans well underway for a new boat to re place this one, which will also be a product of his own hands. The new craft will be a mahogany runabout, powered with a V-8 Mercury motor. and will be capable of 42 miles an hour against the 35 mile an hour speed of his former outboard. He expects the constructionof the boat to require about a year of his spare time, and will have it ready for use in the summer of 1942. Soloists Make Hit With Kiwanians Local Kiwanians were treated to a preview of some of the music to be presented at the Ellensburg compe tition being held this week-end. At the Tuesday luncheon.

Open Ball Season With Sunnyside This Sunday Sandburs on the rodeo' grounds and too soft ground at the fair grounds has ruined the prospects far baseball playing at either of those two points. The Kennewick ball team had to go to Pasco to .play last Sunday’s game with Wallu-la (which by the way, the visitors took at an unbelievable score.) The Kiwanis committee in charge of the sponsoring of the team made arrangements for a diamond out near the school house. Part of the rodeo grounds will be used and wire fences and bleachers erected. The first agme of the league schedule will be played Sunday at Sunnyside and by the following week the local grounds should be in shape to play on.

Bullefin: How to Live on Less Getting along on poor diets for weeks at atime takes its toll in chronic fatigue, shifting aches and pains. and certain kinds of digestive disturbances. Inadequate diets de stroy a person's sense of well-being, hisioyinbeingaliveandweliand able to work. ‘ About one-fourth of the families of the United States could be rated as eating good diets, more than one third eating fair diets. and another one-third as eating poor diets. Even without changes in the eco nomic situation, more families could have good diets if they used their resources for food to the best advan tage. Recent dietary studies show a need for 10 to 20 percent more milk, 10 to 25 percent more butter. 25 to 70 percent more tomatoes and citrus fruits, and about 2 times as much of leafy green and yellow vegetables. Homemakers who study food val ues and nutrition, who are good managers and good cooks serve bet ter diets. They know that whole grained cereals cooked at home may ; take the place of the more expensive iready-to-eat kinds. that cheap cuts \of meat for stews and pot roasts are just as good protein as steaks and chops. that there are many uses for evaporated and powdered milks as well as fresh milk, that standard grades of canned goods are as nour ishing as those of fancy class. These homemaker: know too that a family garden can provide the pest .foods for summer diets and winter storage. The OOlmty Extension Service at Kennewick will upon personal or written request, give you the bulle tins “Good Diets on a Low Income.” “The Home Garden." and “Pest Control in the Garden."

The power line is being built now from Vernita. above White Bluffs. through Pasco to Walla Walla. where it will be dlo verted to Pendleton. Lewiston and other points in that section. Mr. Story pointed out that the governmental agricultural subsidies are helping the big farmer. but are of no value to the smaller produc er. The only way that the small farmer can have an out on his sit uation is to have a greater con sumptim in the nearby area whens costs of distribution do not eat up production costs. Therefore. he said. industrial development in this area was the only remedy possible for the small farmer in this district. One of the chief factors. he point ed out. in the securing of industrial activity was cheap power and now that the Bonneville power was to be brought as close as Pasco. the tiring to encourage factories to locate here was to have the power available.
