' KENNEWICK o PHONE 1321 ~ Neighbors— Kennewick not only has enjoyed a phenominal growth with the end not yet in sight, but has.also add ed many new neighbors. Richland, for instance, has grown from a hamlet to ,a city of world-wide fame. Pasco has matched Kenne wick in growth. ; Now another “hamlet” bids on becoming a little sister to Kenne wick. We refer -to Benton City. We had the pleasure of. visiting at thriving community Saturday and found people there flexing theinmuscles in preparation for a growing spree. A few months ago the town was incorporated with a full fledged mayor and council complete with a city attorney. More than 8001 people were counted within the corporate limits. Now what's brewing there is the advent of Roza water this spring on additional land east of town. This project brings watento a point as far east as the Sunny side ditch on higher ground. A number of individuals are in terested in bringing additional mercantile and service establish :ments to serve the growing popu lation. And guess what—there aren’t enough buildings or houses. We can appreciate the position of our neighbor and wish them a speedy and successful solutiOn to the many problems. .

The speaker explained the first time she knew that the picture was made public was when she was still overseas and received a copy of the New York Times which contained several photo graphs she had taken-and sent back to the American Red Cross headquarters. Her first know ledge that it was being used na tionally came when she saw the poster in the Memorial building on the Whitman campus.
