A WORD OF WISDOM

A WORD OF WISDOM
We are not trying to tell you your
business, or regulate your affairs,
but a sensible suggestion is never
out of place-and here is a time
ly and sensible one. Before you are
tempted to answer the alluring mail
order ads offering Christmas gifts
or holiday goods, wait little while
and see what local merchants will
have to offer you. They will no
doubt show about the same type of
goods, and there's always the chance
you will see something here at home
you will want more than you'll want
the mail-order merchandise after it
gets here. It's only hometown 10y
atty to do this, but for your own
satisfaction, and with view to
making your own Christmas hap
pier one, it's the sensible thing to
to. It won't be long now until To-
cal merchants will be displaying
their holiday wares, and advertising
them. So be patient, be loyal to
your hometown, and be economical
at the same time. Let the mail |
order ads go this year and buy all !
your Christmas merchandise right
here at home. |

HUNTING DoN'rs

Here are some timely and sens
ible don'ts for Kennewick hunters,
who may be inclined to grow care
less with firearms along about this
time of year-learn them by heart
or paste them in your hat. -.-
Don't pull a gun carelessly thru
fence or from an auto. Remove the
shells before crawling through a
fence. Don't use your gun to club
game from the brush. Don't carry
it cocked-it's always closer to you
than it is to the game. Never point
weapon at anyone in fun. Don't
walk ahead of an inexperienced
hunter-let him go first. Don't
leave a gun where children can
reach it; all weapons are popguns
to them. Don't leave a loaded gun
in the house; bears are not coming
into the living room this year. Never
allow your gun muzzle to clog with
mud or snow.
Hunting accidents caused 1000
deaths in 1886. If everyone obeys
the above rules closely there won't
be any around here in 1887.

WALK IN SAFETY

WALK IN SAFETY
The idea that it is safer to walk
with traffic than against it still
exists in the minds of good many
Kennewick citizens. Despite the
repeated warnings of traffic auth
critics pedestrians continue to turn
their backs on vehicles bearing
down on them, instead of facing
cars coming toward them. In
walking against traffic one should
walk as close to the edge of the
road as possible. Then, If he keeps
his wits about him, he won't be
caught unawares and except
in such cases as when car for
some reason or other suddenly
swerveS from the road. If you are
walking against traffic you have the
advantage of seeing cars that are
coming toward you; you have the
protection of your own eyes as well
the eyes of the driver. If you have
to walk on highway, walk against
traffic. Then you will live to walk
another day.

GOOD SERVICE

Reports from Washington indi-
cate that more young men are now
quitting the camps of the CCC to en-
ter private employment than al
any time in the last four years. And
this is good sign, for two reasons
First, it shows that private indus
try is still reaching out for addition
al help. Second, it shows that the
young men trained in Uncle Sans
forest camps have made themselves
one Of the choicest reservoirs of la
Dor in the country.
It should be of interest to all Ken
newick citizens who have kept in
touch with this new institution to
learn that during the first eight
months Of this year nearly 100000
Of the $4,000 young men enrolled
in the CCC have been released be-
fore the end of their enlistments to
take private jobs.
More than 100000 young AM
orleans have been in these camps
since they were established, and not
only did they and their families re-
ceive help at time when it was
scorely needed, but they have done
constructive work for the nation
that is now yielding results and
that will be of untold value in the
years to come. Forestry protection,
the building of hundreds of miles of
highway, the erection of thousands
of miles of telephone wires into
heretofore inaccessible places, the
saving of forests and farm land
from soil erosion, all have made the
CCC a valuable institution and one
that Americtn citizens now appear
willing to foot the bill for since
it is possible to see results.

a close, and again comes America:
day of Thanksgiving.
Into some hearts rain may have
fallen since last this national hol-
iday was celebrated, but despite this
there must also have some some
sunshine, and it is for the sunshine
that everyone in Kennewick and
the nation in general now offers up
a prayer of thanks and plea fol
another year fraught with such
blessings as a kindly Providence has
seen fit to bestow in the year now
nearing its close.
Blessed by crops more bountiful
than in normal years; unhampered
by shattered peace or warfare with
any sister nation; heartened by
steady steps toward normal indus
trial and financial conditions, Am
erica has much cause for thankful
ness at this tine. To those who en-
joy the greatest of all blessings
good health-there is the greatest
reason for returning thanks on this
great national holiday. To those
who have suffered, or across whose
path the dark clouds of adversely
have fallen during the year, there
still is left the blessing of hope for
brighter days ahead. In fact, in a
country numbering it's blessings as
generously as this one, there should
be no heart without cause for
thanAfulness. ~.
With the past, and whatever re-
gretS it holds behind us; with the
future steadily growing brighter and
confidence and hope growing strong
er, this community joins with the
balance of the nation in offering up
its prayers on this Thanksgiving
Day. Each prayer will be in the
same spirit of hopefulness which has
made America great, and each pray
er will be from a heart that is
thankful for the privilege of being
permitted to share In her greatness.
