Legion Takes No
sides In Civil
Controversies

Legion posts take no stand In civil
controversies, Commander Harvey
White informs this paper, and he
sends in for publication reprint
from the Legion's publication in re-
gard to the organizations attitude.
The article bears a head: Legion
Takes No Dispute Stand" and is as
follows:
Repeated statements through the
press and elsewhere by public Of
ficials and others that members Of
the American Legion are being
modified and used for vigilante
duty or other services in sections
affected by labor disputes, is a mat
ter Of much concern to the officials
of our organization, said Command
er Claude G. Snider, recently.
The posts, officers and members
of this department should bear in
mind that the American Legion is
pledged to strict neutrality on all
questions concerning religion, pol
itics and industrial strife and
should take no action which will in
any manner violate that obligation.
Members Of the American Le-
gion have the same duties and OBJ
legations as have other citizens in
the progress Of law and order and
law enforcement and are subject to
being deputized by the regularly
constituted law enforcement offic-
ials Of the community or state. Such
service, however, should not be as
ISOLATED or confused with Legion
membership.
The American Legion uniform,
cap or other insignia should not be
worn or displayed by those per-
forming such service and care
should be taken that the name OF
The American Legion should not
be used In connection Herewith.
This state has been extremely
fortunate In that It had no labor !
dispute which has jeopardized pub
lie safety or necessitated calling to
service those other than the regu-
lar constituted law enforcement

MORE EGG MONEY

Housewives around Kennewick
who depend upon hens for their pin
money as well as those who go at
poultry raising on large scale will
be cheered by q new agricultural
forecast that good profits are go
ing to result from the sale OF
chickens and eggs next fall. Food
prices probably will decline, the
federal experts say, and egg prices
will advance in the next few
months. There are Is percent fewer
young chickens in the country at
this time than q year ago, and this
they largely base their prediction OF
better times for those who sell
poultry and eggs. In times past
it has been found that poultry fore
casts made by the department have
been correct and conservative, so
those who go In for the sale OF
chickens and eggs will no doubt
be justified in taking on a broad
smile. It may not be the kind Of news
the consumer likes to hear, but he
will cheerfully accept any reason
able increase In chicken and egg
prices because he knows that this
kind Of money usually stays pretty
close to home.

citizens who refuse to pay any at

WATERS TOLL

WATERS TOLL
In q good many homes around
Kennewick parents dread to see the
summer season arrive because Of
the danger from drowning to which
children are subjected. They real
ize that the ordinary youngster
does not fully appreciate this dam
ger, and innocently takes chances
those Of more mature years would
guard against.
As q rule drownings are uncom-
mon In the ordinary community, so
much 50 that the public Is apt to
underestimate the death toll when
considered from q nationwide
angle. No definite figures are at
hand, but 1t is safe to say that II
the average father and mother
knew how many are drowned in the
q. 8. during single season they
would live In still greater dread Of
summers arrival each year.
Anyone who cannot swim should
never venture into water where he
or she is unfamiliar with the bot
tom, which may suddenly drop off
and throw them beyond their depth.
And persons who can swim should
always be on their guard against
diving into water of unknown
depth, and against going into a cold
lake or stream after violent exercise
or heavy meal. The difference
between swimming and bathing as
enjoyable exercises, and as danger
GUS sports, will be found in the one
word: Caution! Do not under es-
innate the danger Of water. It's
death toll every summer runs into
thousands and can only be reduced
through extreme carefulness on the
part Of those who go into it.

TIME TO END TT

With all due respect to those
who have lost their lives in stunt
flying, it must by this time be APP
parent to everyone that this type
of unnecessary risk Of life should be
stopped. II stunts were necessary
to further the science Of flying 1t
would be different. But the fact
that the government some years ago
banned stunt flying in army planes
indicates that it neither aids
science or adds anything to flying
skill.
This day in time the average cit
izen around Kennewick is not inter-
ested in feats of daring in the air.
Flying the oceans, looping the earth
or setting new speed and endurance
records mean little to the ordinary
man. But when it becomes neceS-
sary, or has been the case quite
often, to call out whole fleets Of
ocean-going vessels to search for q
lost aviator who was merely flying
for notoriety or money, then stunt
flying assumes an entirely differ
ent meaning. It becomes Of public
interest then because the thousands
Of dollars necessary to operate the
battleships and cruisers while they
are searching for the lost aviator
comes out Of the pockets Of the tax
paying public. The immense sum
required to maintain such search
could be used in the navy to much
better advantage, as the average
man views 1t.
When q circus acrobat does his
stunts the government isn't called
upon to hold q net under him. So
when stunt flyer strikes out to
seek publicity and possibly some
easy money he should be warned in
advance that Uncle Sam IS not go
ing to waste time and money hunt
ing for him In case he takes q
tumble or gets lost. # the govern
ment would adopt q rule to this
effect it would end stunt flying in
q hurry.

ROADSIDE BEAUTY

It is q pleasure to learn that Of
ficials and residents In many sec
tions Of the country are beginning to
realize that roadside decorations
are becoming an asset and that the
expense Of such highway beauty
treatments constitutes q fine in
vestment. Now that we are de-
termined to have beauty as well as
utility our roadsides are beginning to
look better. Trees shrubs, flowers
and grass are hiding the marks Of
the shovel and the pick. Wayside
parks and picnic places are multi
plying. Eyesores are becoming less
numerous. Any place that persists
In making the best Of its surround
ings is establishing a reputation for
progressiveness that will always
stand it in good stead. Any proper
ty owner who tries to make the road
leading past his place attractive
adds much to its value. It costs lit
tie to plant trees and shrubs and
flowers, and the wisdom Of doing
so will be reflected in property
values in the year on ahead.
