UTILIZING COTTON

The cotton surplus has given rise
to various suggestions and solutions
for the use of cotton in new ways.
The Mellon Institute for Industrial
Research is one of the agencies
studying the case and they have
been trying various methods Of
utilizing the cotton plant. Cellulose
is one of the new uses and cellulose
is used to make paper, rayon, ex-
plosives and so on. This would re-
quire the stock, cotton and all parts
of the plant. They are trying shoe
polish and furniture polish made Of
the wax that is washed out of the
cotton cloth in the bleaching pro-
cess. The proteins in cottonseed oil
seems to have possibilities for the
making of plastics, this would mean
the use of cotton in the manufac-
ture of fountain pens, panels, vases
and picture frames. The report also
suggested fancy shingles, floor TIL
ing, insulating material and wall
board. Invention found the cotton
gin, invention will find new uses
for the cotton.

GIVE IT AWAY


This is an apportune time to
clean out the cloak closet of old
overcoats and give them to needy
people, instead of letting them hang
again another season. Give away
your useless wearing apparel and
household articles that would help
to make someone else q bit easier.
There is usually outgrown under
wear stored away in most every
home. There are few folks in Ken
newick who have not something
that is Of no use to them but that
would be greatly appreciated by
some person in want. A change Of
season finds most people changing
their wardr0bes to an extent. There
are always people in ones own FAM
lily who are on the list for "hand-me
DOWNS" but even in this case there
are, no doubt, clothes of no use to
anyone in the circle, but which
might find a welcome place in an
other closet. In this Thanksgiving
season let us do a bit of giving of
used things. Someone will be thank
full for your thoughtfulness and gen.
crosby.

Kennewick was celebrating the
end of the war when news was re-

bonfire and community sing took
place.

pounds of horseshoe plug and one
change of underwear. We have
come long way and for many rea-
sons, one of the main ones for
progress and enlightment can be
credited to the newspapers of the
country. Journalism has marched
with time and has its place on the
front line of the advance. The fact
that the oldest newspaper in the
world is the Peking Gazette, first
issued in 1910 A. D. and still pub
lished, shows that this newspaper
business is no new thing. The first
American paper was the Boston
Newsletter, published in 1704 and
since that time journalism has .ad-
vanced with the country, developed
with education and through modern
mechanical appliances. Telegraph
today brings news much quicker
than when it was carried by stage
coach and sailing vessel. More cap
ital and continued growth in circu-
lation, with increased advertising
upon which the paper depends for
it's greatest source of income, all
tend to give the reader his newspa-
per Of today. The printed word
through these many years remains
most powerful as it shapes the thots
and actions of millions of people.
Journalism has as important a re-
sponsibility as any profession and
by its conduct you may recognize it
as a blessing or curse. Justice and
mercy, be thorough but with thot
for others, to be sincere and truth
full are requisites of your paper. The
press serves politically as well as So
cially and must guard against rad
icalism and extravaganza in ex-
preston. May it not fail in its pur-
pose to you in Kennewick and every
community like you, nor abuse its
privilege of freedom of the press,
but serve well and keep journalism
on the high plane it has achieved
after these many years.

annual meeting with the election of
officers resulting in the following:
president, Geo. F. Richardson; vice
president, Jas. A. Rose; second-vice,
Scott z. Henderson; treasurer, l. e.

Miss Leota Armstrong and G. O.

the Chris Puderbaugh home thirty
years ago.
Miss Mary E. Williams and John
E. Norton of White Bluffs were
married at the hotel Kennewick.
They were to make their home in
White Bluffs.
White Bluffs was to be connect
ed with the outside world by the
organizing of telephone company
and a long distance line was to be
operated from White Bluffs to Ken
newick with the Pacific States Tel
ephone and Telegraph company's
line.
The Richland Land Company had

There never has been, in the his
tory of Benton county, such an un-
certainty over the result of an cleo
ton. Never, in our memory, has
there been a tie vote, especially in
district as large as the represen-
tative district, covering four coun-
ties. In the congressional cam
paign, If there are but a couple of
hundred votes between Hill and
Miller, there should be recount,
we think, for such a small variation
between some seventy thousand
votes, offers a very small margin
for error-to say nothing concern
ing possible fraud. This matter is
not one particularly for the candi-
dates involved, but for the people
of the entire district.
From years of observing election
boards in action, we can see where
most any board could make much
larger percentage of error than the
difference between these two cam
didates. Some errors are merely
clerical (quite understandable un-
der the circumstances) some are
due to misinformation on the part
of election officials, and-in rare
cases, in the west at leaSt-SOme
are deliberate. But taking it all
into consideration, the people of the
4th district are entitled to have
their desires accurately known, re-

The two to one vote for the Forty
Mill Limit on its fourth appearance
on the ballot will perhaps convince
legislators that the people want this
law made permanent in the Consti-
tuition of the State The fight every
two years for its passage appears to
be waste of time, money and eff
ford. A constitutional amendment
should be submitted for a vote in
1910.

Two-HANDED DRIVING

Why is 1t that most automobile
drivers feel that steering is so
simple that two hands aren't nee
essary to do the work? We are all
apt to take our hands off Of the
wheel to point to some spot, we lean
back and slam car doors while a
car is travelling, and there are
many drivers who eat with one
hand while they steer with the
other. This custom would be per-
fectly harmless If emergencies did
not arise where two hands were
necessary to insure safety. Steering
is made so easy on modern cars that
it is possible to steer with one fin
ger, but this is not enough when you

ment or sudden obstacles that need
quick action for brakes. A sudden
turn needs a two-handed driver.
You may be successful for years and
not be faced with an acute situation
where one-handed driving lands you
in a hospital, but there are few
drivers in Kennewick who haven't
found circumstances arising where
two hands clamped to the wheel
kept them out of the hospital.

This election has brought out
couple of deficiencies in our laws
palmer than any we have ever had
in the past. There surely should be
some corrections made, and this
paper offers the following sugges-
tions relative to them. In the first
place, it's unfair, inhuman and ri
diculous, to ask an election board to
stay on the job for fifteen, twenty
and in some cases as high as fifty
hours at stretch.
There's no good reason why some
such plan as the following couldn't
be worked out. Have an election
board similar to what we now have
to handle the actual voting. Then,
as soon as there were, say, fifty
votes cast, turn them over to an
entirely separate board, under
strict guard, and completely in Sc
cret, such as jury, and let them
do the counting and tabulating.
That way, the complete count could
be known within very short time
after the polls closed.
Another feature Of our elections
which sould be corrected, we think.
is the matter Of the difference in
time between the east and the far
west. This pertains particularly to
national elections, of course.
In the west voters know pretty
well the trend of national elections
early in the afternoon of election
day. This is wrong in theorty and
practice, for It is human to want
to be on the winning side, and such
information influences vast num-
bers of voters. The solution is ia
have the polls close at the same
actual time, regardless Of location
Let the polls remain open until
nine o'clock In the east; close al
eight in the central states, at sever
In the mountain region and at sis
in the far west. This will give al
sections an even break.
Another change that certainl!
should be made is in the matter o
the apportionment of state repre-
sentatives. The very least tina
should be done would be to split on
district up so that the two lowe
j river counties could have one rep
The Kennewick courier-reporter and the White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1938-1939, 1938-11-17

resentatve and Benton and Frank
linn one between them. This way
the interest of both districts could
be better served. AS it is, there is
too much possibility that all three
men, two representatives and SEN
ator, could come from one small
area, perhaps hundred miles away
from the other end of the district.

Using Candles

Never include candles on the
dining room table service unless
they are to be used to supply need
ed light. Light them just before the
guests arrive If the decorated
wax candles have a soiled appear
ance. wipe them off with absorbent
cotton dampened with alcohol. All

candle may be made to fit any
candlestick if dipped for a moment
into very hot water.

siIverware Satisfaction

Silverware will stay shiny and
untarnished if it is used daily,
washed thoroughly and stored care
fully. Use hot soapy water for
washing, hot clear water for rims
ing. Wipe silver carefully with a
lintless soft cloth. Don't pile sill
verware; that is likely to scratch
it. To remove tarnish use polish
that is very soft and gritiess . :.
Before putting away spare silver,
clean it thoroughly. Wrap it in
darkblue paper with a few cam
phor balls, and when the silver Is
unpacked, even months afterward,
it will be found to be as bright as
when put away.
