May Get Pasco
Naval Hospital
For Civil Ilse
Getting the Pasco Naval Air
station hospital into operation for
civilians was the immediate ob
jective of a widely attended meet
ng Saturday at the Pasco USO
building. Securing the equipment
for a permanent hospital in Ken
newick was a long range objective.
With the naval base now on an
“inactive” status Dr. Tudor stated
it was possible to lease it, prob
ably on a revocable lease or re
vocable permit. 'c
Dr. Greenwell reported that the
present building was good: had
ample rooms, complete surgery.
Dr. Foskitt further pointed out that
two of ° the ward wings could be
changed to make nurses quarters
and be used for storage. There is
a good laboratory and complete
surgery, dental chairs and all sup
plies except probably the items
which were consumed in each
month, such as sutures, etc. The
need for more hospital space in
Kennewick and- Pasco area was
thoroughly gone into, and it was
thought that the hospital could be
operated as a 100-bed hospital
without any loss; in fact. with the
situation the way itwas, it might
b'e operated at a slight profit.
Dr. Foskitt suggested that a sep
arate organization be formed to be
known as the Columbia Basin hos
pitil! as§9¢iilti°m _ __ _ __
Ole H.‘ Olson moved that the
committee go on record that one
of the objects of the Hospital As
sociation would be to lend support
to getting a permanent hospital in
Kennewick and when the Pasco
Naval Air Station was no longer
operated as a civilian hospital by
the Hospital Association, then to
use all influence to get the equip
ment transferred to a Kennewick
hospital. This was unanimously
passed. -

Mr. Langworthy came here to

“The new assignment represents
recognition by the J. C. Penny

chandising record made by Lang
worthy in Kennewick since his ar
rival in February of 1943,” A 1
Cheney, manager of the Keane»

He served in the store here dur

“Hanford Honeynioon,” and new
hopes for some peace in quiet in
the north California metropolis.
He has extended an invitation to
all his Kennewick friends to drop
in for a visit at his new location as
they pass through on their vaca

Miss Louise Langworthy, who
will accompany her parents to
Yreka, completed her Junior year

Activians Win§ ,
Area's Produce
To Convention
It was a novel experience for the
several civilians of the city, who
had gone through the war with no
direct acquaintance with aircraft,
to gather for briefing in the chill,
pre-sunshine light of Wednesday
morning at the Twin City Airport
at 6 o’clock and to watch the take
off of Activians Jim Mokler and
Vern Kloster for the twenty-sec
ond annual convention of the Ac
tive Club at Aberdeen. _ _
Flying a two-place Luscombe
chartered plane, the two delegates
were winging themselves and a
cargo of ruddy Bing and Lam
bert cherries and Church’s grape
juice to the convention, where a
reception committee was waiting
3:1 dthem at the Moon Island Air-
On hand to present the gift of
cherries was Dick Rector 'of the
Kennewick Chamber of Commerce
and F. M. Ludlow and Frank Mau
pin of the Church Grape Juice
Company with a token shipment
of grape juice. Clyde Anderson,

present to prepare the flyers to
publicize the fall event at the
convention.
The bulk of the shipment of
Kennewick grown and processed
produce was already on the way to
Aberdeen via motor' express, in
order to have it there in plenty of
tinie to serve the estimated 300
delegates who-pwill enjoy the deli
cacies at their banquet Saturday
night at the Merck Hotel.

punches in their appraisals of the
