AVERAGES
Out of 14 renewals of the inter

and tied one. Pasco has run up
a total of 265 points to 118 for
Kennewick. Pasco has been blank
ed only twice while Kennewick
can claim six goose eggs.
Worst defeat was a 44-0 beat
iuthe Lions took in 1937. Most
thrilling games were the 25-25

KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 194'}
ency measures came Monday
noon at a joint meeting of the
Kennewick Committee for a
Thousand New Homes with re
presentatives of the Pasco housing
group.
H. E. “Brick" Oliver and E: c.‘
Smith . have been empowered to‘
act, with the full support of the
Pasco housing delegaion. toward
securing temporary housing for
the Twin-Cities area, and to re.
quest allocations of scarce build
ing materials for construction.
At the Monday meeting, Smith
described the increasing entensity_
of the home shortage. Kennewickfs
temporary housing accomodations,
he said, are taxed to the utmost,
and a long waiting list of tenants.
grows day by day.
He endorsed the statement made
by E. S. Black, superintendent
of the Kennewick schools, that
temporary housing is vital to care
for the workers who are not yet
on Richand or Hanford jobs.
During the interim, he emphas
ized, some shelter must be pro
vided for in-coming families,
if social and health conditions are
to be maintaned at even their pre
sent minimum levels.
A. C. Amon, chairman of the
Kennewick housing committee, to
day pledged that his group would
back the request for temporary
housing and alocation of build
ing materials to the limit but
cautioned that no momentum
should be lost in the drive for
permanent dwellings. ,
“If we can provide temporary
units for transient workers and
at the same time move forward
in our campaign for permanent
housng, we will have a program
well-adapted to the needs of our
City.” he said.
Oliver and Smith will leave for
Washington, D. C. on November
13. Their first action they said,
will be to get in- touch with memm
bers of Washington’s congtessibnall
delegation, through whom theyl
will work in their contracts with
