upon them and the lands are no
longer vacant.
Just now Kennewick is rather
boastful of it's landing field. AS
a matter of fact Kennewick has
no landing field. It has a hangar
built and owned by Floyd Kelso
on land that may any time after
six months be used for any other
purpose by the owner. Of course
should the owners see fit to
order the hangar off the present
site there are other vacant lands
near the city which could be
used. Yes, used until they are
needed for other purposes.
Fifteen years ago there were
any number of suitable sites for
a city park. Fifteen years ago
there was no hurry about ac-
quiring a site. The sagebrush
was full of them. Today our
tongues are hanging out and we
are lamenting the fact that
somebody fifteen years ago
didn't have the foresight to
grab a park site when so many
were available. What has
happened to our park may well
happen to our aviation field.
Committees have been named
by the Commercial club and the
celebration committee to in
vestigate and report back a pro-
position for getting a perman-
ent aviation field. It is to be
hoped this committee will prove
an active rather than q standing
one.

ETIEUT. Earl Neubig, u. S.
army aviation flyer, is
quoted in the Portland Telegram
as saying: "No flyer going north
would ever stop at Portland be-
unless forced to, because the
landing field is not adequate for
the big machines"
Lieut.. HI. j. Ehrlichman, u.
S. army aviator, who was here
recently and will fly back here
soon said that if he flies in a
DeHaviland plane he will not at
tempt to land in Yakima because
of the inadequacy of the landing
field there. The Lieutenant was
loud in his praises of Kenne-
wAck's field saying that it is one
of the best he has seen in the
Northwest and large enough to
accommodate any type of mach

en- care of.
The facts are, landing fields
are much more easily available
in the smaller towns than in the
larger cities. The thing for
Kennewick, as well as for other
small towns, to do is to wake up
to the fact that an aviation
field is a coming necessity and to
grab some Of the now vacant
lands before the necessity is

Saving the Country

1T seems evident that the
country must be saved,
though no one is quite agreed
on what it is to be saved from
and for. The capitalist thinks
it must be saved from the boil
shevik, and the workman thinks
it must be saved from the capt.
alist and the profiteer. The cap-
italist thinks safety lies in CO.
operation, and the proletariat
believes it lies in confiscation
and government control. The
farmer believes the country can
be saved by guaranteeing his
prices and by eliminating the
middleman and Spectator; the
railroad employee declares that
the future is safe if the govern
ment controls the railroad and
taxes the public to pay his high
wages. The humble and suffer
ing taxpayer holds that re-

PROSSER PREACHERS
TO HEAD CAMP Align
Two Ministers Are Named To
Direct Savings Stamp Sales
In This County.

: \ f
The appointment of Rev. w. S.
Richie, as County Director, and Rev.
Lee Ferguson, as Vice Director of the
War Savings Organization for Ben
ton county, has been announced from
the office of the State Director, Fred
erick w. Graham, Railway Exchange
Building, Seattle.
These appointments are unique
insomuch as these gentlemen are the
only ministers thus far designated to
to direct the war savings campaign
in any county of the state.
Mr.. Richie is pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Prosser,
county seat of Benton County. He has
been leader in all patriotic achieve
ments, and was chairman of the
Armenian Relief for the county. He
has been an active worker i. all
movements for the upbuilding os the
community.
Rev. Lee Furgeson is pastor of
the Christian church of Prosser, and
has been resident of this county for
the last ten years. He is called the
Farmer PASTOR" as he farmed and
donated his services as minister, and
kept the church alive, preaching on
Sundays and working on his farm the
week days until the church got on its
feet He is good citizen, member
of the school board, and has a nice
church and a good congregation, and
is still a farmer. He has been iden-
tilted with all war movements, work.

Last year under the county direc-
ton Of Mr.. R. E. Pratt of Kennewick
there was $99,SS7.25 of war savings
stamps sold, equal to $3.50 per can
tia. The substantial sales alreadv
made this year are an indication Of
the well organized effort made last
year under Mr.. Pratt's direction.

duction in taxes will do the trick
while everybody agrees that the
prices are too high, except for
the one article which they hap
pen to be selling.
But with all the threats and
fears of disaster, the country
probably will worry thru just as
it has since ITS.
An application of common
sense on all sides would help
some.

Every Little Helps.

- HE Business Girls are to
be congratulated for the
splendid musical entertainment
given at their garden fete Fri
day evening and for their public
spiritedness in swelling the park
fund. While the amounts rails
ed at such affairs are not large
they will as time goes on do
much toward putting the park
deal over. Walla Walla owes it's
beautiful city park to just such
a beginning as has been made
by the Woman's and the Bust
ness Girls clubs. Several years
ago a few enterprising women
of Walla Walla organized the
Woman's Park club and went to
work with entertainments, bene-
fit performances, subscription
lists etc and kept on the job un-
til the park was reality. The
same thing can be done in Ken
newick. The people Of the COM
munity are ready and willing to
respond to the park call. All
that is needed is someone to
take the initiative.
