'gl'leallh Conditions
gflere in Good .
,Shape Says Ripley
In spite of overcrowding
in camps no danger
is anticipated
Considering all conditions. the
Kennewick-Pasco area is remak-
ably fortunate in the matter of
health conditions, Dr. R. W. Rip
ley told ‘members “of the -loe’al
Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
5 The overcrowded conditions in
.the' local trailer camps makes a
;situation extremely difficult to
(handle during the emergency, Dr.
Ripley explained. While his health
department is watching conditions
jas carefully as possible. camp
owners are having very difficult
gtimes in making the required fa
cilities on account of the-govern
ment priorities requirements and
inability to secure materials after
the priorities have been secured,
he stated. .
Local cabin and trailer- camps
are crowded to the very limit,
Dr. Ripley said. and while the
' government as establishing a large
camp at Pasco and. another fur
ther up the river, the situation
will probably become even more
congested in the near future, as.
additional workers are arriving
every day.
. So far there has been no out
break ot contagious disease in any
of the camps, Ripley reported, an
unusual situation where conditions
are as crowded as they are here
' at the present time.
Questioned concerning the re
port that the swimming beach at
{the river had been declared “out
of bounds” for the navy base on
account of the presence of disease
germs in the water, Dr. Ripley reo;
‘plied that it was true. Contronted
:with the statement that local
people had been swimming in
the river for the past thirty years
with no apparent danger, Dr.
Ripley still maintained that there
was a possibility of picking up
diseases there and advised against
using the place as a public beach.
He strongly advised against
permitting children to go into
the irrigation ditch at any time.
