IT'S A BREAK

Kennewick got a break this morn
ing when the army planes came in.
For several years the local airport
has been struggling for government
aid in improving the field. Local
aviation enthusiasts have had the
matter before the chamber of COM
merce, city officials and the airplane
operators. Practically no results
have been secured.
The presidents recent order can
ceiling the air-mail contracts and
putting the work in the hands of the
army fliers has made an inspection
flight necessary, pending the change
in the service. The two planes
which were compelled to land on our
airport were seeking just the infor-
nation the fog conditions of this
morning provided. 1t may prove a
lot easier now to secure some feder-
al assistance in improving the
Kennewick airport.

CLEANER MOVIES

4 good example of what can be accomplished by a concerted effort of tne ,itizenry of the nation under responsible leadership is the recent mass protest against tie production and exhibition of immoral or sug
 gestive motion pictures. The drive, led by prominent representatives of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish churches, has been eminently suc- cessful and the first round in the battle for cleaner movies goes un- doubtedly to the church people. The motion picture producers have gra- ciously surrendered to popular sen
 timent, and if cleaning up of the movies is made permanent there may not have to be another battle.
 There have been many attempts to clean up the movies in the past
 Only three or four years ago the Motion Picture Producers and Dis tributors Association drew up and put over a code of morals for the motion pictures. If it had been fol- lowed by the producers, the mass protest we have witnessed during
