Fors.Civic Bet ferment Much. credit is due the Arbor Homes Bettermeht league of Kennewick for recog nizing its community responsibilities and making active strides ..to do its part in civic work. The league recently learned the diffi culty the American Red Cross was hav ing in getting donors to contribute to its bloodmobile. It realized that such a prob lem required immediate attention so it volunteered its assistance. A committee was formed under the chairmanship of Russell Love and went to work. Committee members took time from their homes and jobs to make a personal canvass of Kennewick residents. They did their job so thoroughly that a large number of donors were assured for the visit of the bloodmobile today. Much has been written and spoken on the importance of the bloodmobile. While there thus is no need to go into detail on I °!' Kennewick Pfoisma T© ; Doughs Three Kennewick blood donors provided the margin that might have saved the life of U. S. Jus- ! i tice William O. Douglas when I i he was injured by a fall from a horse high in the Cascades Sun day. Tests of the injured man show ed that he had an extremely rare type of blood. A quick check at the Yakima blood bank re vealed that only three pints of that type were available. On a recent visit of the Blood- mobile to Kennewick, three pints of that type blood were collected, according to W. C. Sommers, executive secretary of the American Red Cross in Rich land. Those three pints avilable In the Yakima blood bank were probably those collected in Ken newick, Sommers said. As it turned out, Douglas didn’t need a transfusion and the blood will be saved for the next person in need. The blood is collected regular- | ly by the Blood mobile operated . out of Yakima. The mobile unit • is due in Pasco next on Oct. 25. W "T CALL FOR DONORS: Members of the Arbor Homes Better ment league in Kennewick have heeded the pleas of the Red Cross for more blood donors. The organization has formed its own committee which has made personal contacts of residents to enlist donors. Because of their efforts, a full schedule of donors will be assured for the bloodmobile’s visit Tuesdav at the Methodist church. Shown above are some of the officials who worked so hard to secure donors. From left t right- Rus sei Love, chairman of the committee; Harold Kennedv and Jerry Martin, committee members, and Mrs. John B. Ford, presi dent of the league.

And, more over, they are dishes that fill all the food requirements for her boys.) Kennewick Mother Of Three Boys Gives Favorite Lenten Recipes What with the flower show for us out in Arbor Homes coming up soon, right now I am spend ing all the time I can out in the yard. I find that living in our little town of Kennewick offers so many more interesting activities than I ever enjoyed in a large city. I do miss all our old friends . . . but getting acquainted here in Kennewick has been easy, for everybody has been so very friendly. All this adds up to a very busy and a very happy family. With plans for the Flower Show which is being sponsored in the late spring by members of the Arbor Homes Community club, Mrs. Edward Hopkins points out that Arbor Homes res idents are really making an ef fort to work toward yard beauti fication this month, with men, women and children out digging, raking and generally getting their gardens. a nd ...fj o,w.et_bfid s SDear' Edttor:- ‘ Housing is one of man’s first and most important concern. It is also a very touchy subject in the Tri-City area at present. As a concerned but dry resident of Arbor Homes. I think it's time ; some long range thoughts re- ’ placed the emergency measures ■ necessitated by our seasonal thaws. Had serious thought been giv en to such matters at the he- ' ginning, our present troubles would not occur. For instance. the manual of requirements for FHA approved houses states ‘‘no: house or group of houses shall be! built where there is threat of shifting earth or flood.” I. for one, have been assured: lhat Arbor Homes. Inc., were warned ol this condition by the city officials, county officials! and railroad engineers, as well as many old time citizens whose names are familiar to all. One wonders why these moneyed in terests and others are allowed to come to communities in need 1 of housing, build in violation of codes, and then duck out to Webb Tosses" His Hat hi Political Ring Carl C. Webb, 802 South Gar field, Kennewick became one of the first men to toss his hat into , the political ring for next fall’s race. Webb Tuesday declared his candidacy for the 16th legis lative district House of Repre sentative seat now held by C. C. "Cy” Miller. Miller has declared his candi dacy for Benton County Assessor. Webb, a former Richland pat- I rolman and an employe of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, said he would introduce a bill to permit local option on gambling if elected. He said his bill would repeal the 1909 Anti Gambling laws and permits com- ’ munities to decide for themselves whether or not gambling would be permitted. He is married and has three children, two sons, Dave and Phillip and a daughter.

Many of Arbor Homes buy ers are from out of the county or state and are not aware that the local planning commission would permit houses to be built on land that is to be flooded periodically. Arbor Homes Com munity Club was assured by the City Council by letter, that no more flood waters would harrass them from the scource of last year's runoff. It's true this year's runoff is from a different source but it’s still very wet and dis- icouraging and one wonders from what new source next year’s flood will come. A man’s house is his castle, but moats are out of date. Mrs. Hopkins announces the next meeting of the Arbor Homes Community club at 8 o’clock March 13 in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and asks that members plan to be present to hear a discussion and explana tion of the irrigation system as planned.

Lenten meals are not such a job in our family for we use dishes suitable for Lent much of the year... .eggs, cheese and dried foods that are filling and yet inexpensive. One of our favorite dishes is Clam Fritters. I use a can of minced clam mixed with cracker crumbs, an egg, finely diced on ion,’lemon juice (canned) and , seasoning. Formed into patties and fried, they make a tasty meat substitute even for' one who is not fond of fish. Refrigerator Cheese Souffle is another wholesome dish that is a favorite in our family. It can be made in the morning and popped into the oven about the time Jim starts his Tri-City Her ald paper route. I line a baking dish with alternate layers of bread (stale) and cheese. Then a custard mixture of milk and eggs and seasoning is poured over the mixture of bread and cheese. The dish is placed in the refrigerator until time for bak ing. Left over bits of meat, fish or vegestables may be added. We always have fresh fruit or a fruit salad and always plenty of vegetables for our daily menus. During Lent we usually have meat at least twice during the week. I try to cook my SundajA I meat Saturday, to leave Sunday],, ---- ft BlrfMey -Hor.^s week days. Somehow, even with my family and my house I find time to be long to the Altar Society of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, work on the irrigation and publicity committees of the Arbor Homes Community Club, make my own clothes and sew for Dad and the boys.

Glenn Felton presented the talk on the hospital and the Ken newick high school debating team under the direction of Miss Lorraine Larson and the leader ship of William Conrad discus sed the three initiatives. Members of the debating team were Anita Snell, David Alder, Robert Merrill, Robert Pastor, . and Gilbert Kimbrough. ■ A business session followed | the program with the newly elec ted officers taking charge of this portion of the meeting. It was decided that the regular busi ness meeting would be held on Richlander Sees World; Decides TrhCifies Best hundreds of jeeps available to, the Philippine government for conversion into city buses. I im ported 840,000 worth of mason ite wall-board for the govern ment to use in building bus bod ies on the vehicles which became known as “jeepneys.” He said that these are still the onlv transportation available to Manila, a city of more than a million population. Market Glutted It took almost two years fori the news to go around the world ' that there was a tremendous mar- | ket in Manila for any type of merchandise. When goods began to arrive in large quantities, however, the market became glutted. “Flour, a scarce commodity in America at that time, was a drug on the market and plywood that was almost impossible to get in the states was going begging. Even new Fords that were smug gled into the country were in small demand.” The golden boom, however, collapsed when the Philippine government discovered that its dollar reserves were nearly ex hausted and clamped on import controls. China Veniure In the meantime, Randolph had expanded his business to Hong Kong and Shanghai. “Wherever Americans gather ed over in China, they talked of home and invariably mentioned two places where they were go ing in the states and settle down —Richland and Texas. Most of them had never been to either place but they knew all about them,” he said. Upon returning to the tri-city area Randolph bought out a friend who had a small insurance business for sale and established his office at 713 George Wash ington Way in Richland. He and his wife. Marguerite, make their home at 802 5th W. in Kennewick. Their daughter, Mary, is teaching school in Seat tle. Homes Group ■il Arbor Homes Community club members, Kennewick, held their first fall meeting Monday eve ning in the Chamber of Com merce offices, Mrs. Edward B. Hopkins presiding, with election of officers being the primary or- j-der of business. Elmer Trunkey .was elected president; Arthur B. ' Anell, vice president; Mrs. H. M. Walker, secertary, and Mrs. A. I Keturi, treasurer. Guest speaker of the evening I was Reginald Denney, Pasco > florist, who gave a timely and informative talk on landscaping and fall planting. The next meet- | ing will be Oct. 9, the place to be I announced later.: __________________ ness meeting would be held on the third Monday in each month instead of on the second Mon day. Mrs. Lester Carpenter, Mrs. James McClenahan, Mrs. Alex Keturi, Mrs. Thomas Coppinger and Mrs. Harold Walker were hostesses for the social hour. The old adage about there be ing no place like home was never more true than in the case of Stanley N. Randolph, Richland insurance man. His varied business career in the last 30 years has taken him from Kennewick in 1921, half way around the world to Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Philippines and back to his present business location in Richland. Randolph, a graduate of Ken newick high school in the class of 1918, exchanged his cap and gown for an army uniform and joined the 210th field signal bat talion as a sergeant. Upon his dis charge he attended the Univer sity of Washington as a business administration major before launching into the insurance business. Until 1942, Randolph served in.managerial capacities for sev eral .large insurance firms in Washington, California and 111- nois. “When World War II broke out I was anxious to get into some type of war work so I bought an auto freight business and contracted to haul construc tion material and equipment from Seattle to the Hanford Works which was then being con structed.” Trucks Busy The company shuttled 12 huge truck and trailer units between the two points day and night as the government rushed the proj ect to completion. After the building boom waned, Randolph sold his freight company and re turned to the insurance business. “In 1945 I accepted a position in Manila rehabilitating an in surance firm the Japanese occu pation had left destitute. When I arrived in the Philippines, how ever, I found the office in ruins and the records scattered.” Since the economy of the na tion was in chaos, it was appar ent that nothing could be done until currency became stable. “Manila was in ruins and the Philippines had been cut off from Uncle Sam’s goods for four years. Commodities from the states were almost worth their weight in gold—so I went into the importing business.” Surplus Money Approximately 600,000 GI’s with back pay checks, liberated Japanese war prisoners with con- , finement pay and immense sums i being spent by the U. S. brought , about a surplus of money and a ■ scarcity of goods on the market. .Randolph began importing ply- iwood, aluminum roofing sheets, lumber, glass, steel bars and oih- jer building materials from Seat- Tie in large quantities. ! As an example of the great [shortage of material that existed L lin the islands at that time, Ran-, dolph cited the city transporta-! tion system which had been de stroyed by the Japanese. “General MacArthur a ,S I i Southing is going to be done. worth, this mooting will be the time. come will represent your wishes.

THIS MORNING Morbeck in dicated that he was seeking grounds to hold either the PUD or Arbor Homes builders respon sible. However, Hurd told The Tri- City Herald this morning that he doesn’t believe the PUD is li able for the cost of correcting power hookups on the homes. He said the PUD’s attorney also was doubtful if a suit could be filed against the PUD con cerning the houses because of the time limit set up in state law. Hurd said the PUD attor ney was of the opinion that the time limit had expired for any Arbor Homes suits.

Morbeck was appointed by residents last night after a stor my meeting in which they de manded action. The controversy arises over the fact outside power connec tions on the home are far below the state minimum. As a con sequence the home owners have been notofied by the state to either reach the minimum or have their power turned off. STATE REGULATIONS call for such hookups to be a mink mum of ten feet from the ground. However, in certain cases an eight-foot minimum is also permitted. But hookups at Arbor Homes average from 6 feet 9 inches to 7 feet says Larry Martini, state electrical inspector. In addition, power lines from some of the homes to the poles sag with the result that they are only a few feet from the ground. Some of them are within the reach of children. LAST NIGHT residents de manded that some action be tak en to prevent a recurrence of code violations. At the same time Owen Hurd, manager of the Benton county PUD came under fire because the PUD had hooked up the power although knowing it did not meet mini mum state requirements. Hurd readily admitted the PU D knew what the state code was. However, he said the PUD had been assured by the builder that the hookups would be revised to ■neet state requirements. ‘‘The PUD thereupon went head with the hookups because ’ the cry being raised for (More on Page 6, Col. 1) rests her left hand on low hanging, power lines in her backyard.

Mrs. Campbell said she knew the lines were low when the home was purchased but that the seller said- “The PUD is o-oinsr to fix that.” ° 6 i These corrections made, Hurd said. IF THE STATE building in spector orders the PUD to cut off power to the houses for fail ure to comply with the law, Hurd said the PUD would have no other recourse. ‘‘But we're not going to cut off tire power except as a last re- ■ sort and until we’re sure of our ’ ground,” he said. “Interruption ' of power is very serious busi ness — especially when an in- ■ nocent third party is involved.” HURD SAID there had been only one case in Benton PUD historv when it had been forced to interrupt power to a violator of the law. In that case, the vio lator of the law was himself using the power, Hurd said. Hurd said that strict enforce ment of the building code brings hardships In many cases. For tha treason, the PUD has been lenient in making connections when the builder assured that corrections would be made. — Mrs. Duane Campbell, 710 Ione street, Kennewick have equally low power lines.

' K !:■ Kennewick City G'hhciGs A "DUCK POND" posed a problem of health and safety to day to Arbor Homes residens— an'd to Kennewick city officials. What was to be done the offi cials were undecided, but they recognized the problem. So did the Arbor Homes resi dents, particularly those in the southwest corner of the housing project. The pond, which cur rently is about 60 feet long, 30 wide and 4 or so deep, is closest to that corner. And only recently one of the neighborhood children — a boy of about four — was pulled from the pond, half-drowned, accord ing to his rescuer.

Frances Ludlow, manager of Church Grape Juice Co., also recognized the problem. He said some of the water was coming from Church vineyards adjacent to the pond. However, a larger percentage of it came from oth er fields in the hill, he said. And he, like Rector, while rec ognizing the problem, was un sure of what the solution was. The hole wherein lies the wat er was dug to gravel in hopes the water would seep away, he said. Instead, the gravel soon sealed with mud, and the water stayed. Meantime, the "duck pond” presented a serious problem of health and safety. And neither the problem — or the water — seemed likely to evaporate. k’r—■ of the mothers has prevented tragedies, the residents empha- f size. The "duck pond,” which is so- ' called by the residents because it actually harbors ducks during certain season, is filled by irri gation waters from nearby vine yards, orchards, etc, Later, as the irrigation season progresses, the pond will become larger — and deeper. Between the pond — and the wasteaway ditch running into it — is a leveee about four feet high built after the homes were flooded in February, 1949. It was built by the Arbor Homes con tractor who, according to City Sopt. Dick Rector, scooped out the hole for the pond to get earth for the levee.
