ant than their losses in congress. It

Governors control thousands in the
big states.
Major blows to the administration
were the losses of governorships in
Michigan and Pennsylvania. If the
Democrats had likewise lost New
York, it would have been a stagger-
ing blow. But Governor Lehman
got through, though by an extreme
ly small margin. Yet even this VIC
tory was not unmitigated. Mr.. Leh-

Just because you are highly educat-

TOWN "KICKERS"

There are many boosters of Ken
newick who are always satisfied
with their town and who let folks
know it. But every city, no matter
how large it may be, has its allot-
ment of kickers. There is no COM
munity that does not need some
improvements. Nor is there a COM
munity where no controversy exists
among its citizenry when attempts
are made to do something about the
needs of the town. There are always
defects in management and public
service and there are always those
constant fault finders who call at-
tention repeatedly to these defects.
As general rule the biggest home
town kicker is usually last to try to
do something constructive to rem
edy the fault. A bit of bustling about
to get folks interested in repairing
the need, to create sentiment in ia
vor Of the improvement, Is much
more apt to- carry results. We will
always have the man who thinks the
small town should have all the adj
vantages of the large one, who Is
eternally dissatisfied with things in
his home place. The majority of us
feel that we in the small town have
much that large place can't offer
us. -r@ =.# IS

to back down the hill and come on
home? His motor sounded weak and
unable to make the grade, while
you hoped to pass him before the
next hill or curve. This has prob
ably been the experience of every
driver around Kennewick. Many of
us have often wondered why there
isn't a law to make him get rid of
this antiquated menace to traffic
and safeguard himself as well as
others. OF course we are aware that
there are many older models of
automobiles that with care and
consideration have withstood the
years in good shape and are as safe
as up-to-date cars that have not
been checked and gone over for
safety's sake. It would be difficult
to enact a law to remove certain
models of car from the road but
there should be some sort of action
to remove the dilapidated affairs
that often cause accidents to their
owners and other traffic.

FOR WHICH WE GIVE THANKS

FOR WHICH WE GIVE THANKS
Pausing for a brief moment to
look back over the year, back to the
season when we last gathered a har-
vest, we find a multitude of reasons
why the people of Kennewick and
surrounding territory should be
thankful.
It did not just happen that we
have had a bountiful season of
crops, that our men have found la
Dor in field and store and factory,
that our children have continued
their educational progress that 40
irreparable disaster has wrecked
our homes or saddened our hearts.
It was not an accident that we pros
pered and that we have come to an
other Thanksgiving Day with
bounteous blessings and with full
appreciation of them. We have IA
bored that all these things might
be so. We have lived in peace with
our neighbors and the entire world
and we have been faithful in every
task to which we set our hearts and
our hands. No strife has sprung up
in our community, and neighborly
differences have been adjusted with
no great blot on the pages of our
history. The same Fate which ia
vors those who strive for the best
has been our faithful companion,
and brings us to the close Of the harv-
vest happy and contented people.
Sickness has come into our COM
munity, and death has left its
shadow in some of our homes. But
over these things we have not q
quarrel. It is the world-plan that
we must lose those dear to us, just
as those who hold us dear must la
ter on lose us. We have not paused
to question the wisdom of this plan
we know that all things work to-
gether for good among those who
are faithful in following the Golden
Rule of old.
The religious life, the business
life, the educational life and social
life of this community has been
such throughout the year that every
man, women and child must be
truly thankful for the privilege of
living here. There may be other
communities which hold greather
wealth, but there are none in which
true happiness is greather. Our
people have lived in the spirit of
human brotherhood and close to
each other in handclasp and smile
We are richer as a result of this, far
richer than those who lose sight OF
friendship in q desire for material
wealth.
For all Of the blessings that have
come to us as people, we are de-
voutly thankful. For the warm sun
shine and the gentle rains that have
grown and matured our crops, we
are thankful. For the averting OF
