Whether the proposal will be

THAT it will, due to the desperation

GONE MODERN

Those Of us in Kennewick who
Ike to rough It q bit when we take
our vacations, who like to get away
from the modern and be primitive
for q few weeks, don't think much
OF the idea OF Eskimos putting out
board motors on their kayaks. It
just doesn't seem right. OF course
we don't blame them for choosing
radios, flashlights, canned goods
and spectacles, but it spoils the
sound Of backwoodsy and raw. You
like to think Of some Of the folks
remaining unchanged BY style and
felt that the Eskimo would be the
last to 60 streamlined. Perhaps he
Is, and we don't blame him. We
wouldn't want to do without our
own Injuries and modern con-
veniences. Yet it seems more ap-
propriate for an Eskimo to paddle
his kayak rather than running It
along with q chug and q sput-
ter. So goes life, and probably some
good fishing.

note OF gray should not creep in to

play too harshly upon the words
due to our own discovery that the
world is not waiting with open arms
to welcome the young with oppor-

graduate unaware of national az

boy and girl are able to discern the
situation and being 50 are more able
to meet it at the onset. There will

WE PAY HOMAGE

Honor and fame, the battlefield
and battlecry, the bursting bomb
and camouflaged carrier, the flae
and freedom, we salute them all
Memorial Day, celebrated in north
ern states for decorating the graves
OF the soldiers Of the Union Armies,
who fell in the Civil War is appoint
ed for May 30th. In the south some
OF these states have Memorial Day
set aside the Goth Of April for the
tribute to the fallen Confederate
soldiers. What matter 1t If the
honor is north or south it still goes
to those Of the brave who gave up
their lives in fight which they
felt to be right. The beat Of drum,
the cry Of hurrah does not carry
the weight today that It did in
other years. We are more loathe to
Jump into fray, not from lack Of
love Of country, but because we de-
sire to know if such move would
be beneficial to the country. There
are those graves Of departed heroes
Of past wars who wear the wreath OF
laurel, those monuments stand
proudly for cause and effect. Only
history proves that cause and ef-
feet to be right. Those who march,
ed were fired with patriotism and
convinced that the battle was not in
vain. We do not take away from
this belief.
It Is our duty as American citi-
1ens in Kennewick and every other
town, to guard the living young, 10
Keep these bodies whole and strong.
TO give to this country's youth the
conviction that this nation is to be
aonored and respected and II neces-
;ary, fought for. But we must
prove to this youth that the cause
'or which lives have been lost IN
he past, is just cause. That to !
az down ones life is a valiant |
Iced but that the fight must be
worth the sacrifice. We honor the
lead, we must protect the living.

FINLAND'S REPLY
 TO MOSCOW NOW
 READY, DELIVERY

HELSINKI, Oct. 30. = The Fin nish Government announces that its reply to Russia's demands has been drafted and approved.
 The reply will be taken to Mos COW tomorrow by the special Fin nish negotiator.
 Finnish officials maintained ab- solute silence concerning the tone of their paper, but stated that the answer was approved by all mem bers of the Cabinet and leaders of the political parties of Parlia- ment.
 The Films have insisted that they would accept no settlement with Moscow which would endan- ger Finnish independence or her stand of absolute neutrality.
 The Moscow demands were un- derstood to include proposals for establishment of Soviet Military and naval bases in Finnish terri tory which would be regarded as an infringement on Finnish sover- eighty. Moscow also was said to have proposed mutual assistance pact which would have compro- missed Finnish neutrality.

 If the Germans plan an assault, they must wait for several days for the ground to dry from the recent thorough drenching.

The body slumped forward on the con trols, causing the plane to continue to dive. reached forward, pulled the body back and got the plane strengthened out"

AIR RAID PROTECTION FOR GREAT BRITAIN K FACING
 TEST; STRATEGY REVEALED
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct: 30. = Brit aims afraid protection is fairly well worked out. If the war doesn't end too soon there will be chances to test thoroughly home defense against air attack.
 A fresh analysis of what's what in the air over England is made by Major General H. Rowan-Rob- inson of the British army in the U. S. Coast Artillery Journal, He flies right in the face of many an amateur strategist who says the famous London fog is Albion's greatest protection.
 Bad weather, says General Rowan Robinson, is all to the advantage of the raiders. They escape observation. They can hide in the fog or clouds, and skim along the tree tops to get the best view of the objective.
 Over London. the bombers' prob lem becomes more complex. The lllutIl QlSSuoocu DdllOOit OhllnSN protects the city. Hundreds of bal looms hang in the air, tied to the earth by stout but slender cables.
 The balloons are kept just under the cloud bank that habitually hangs over London. A raiding plane coming down out of the clouds may hit one of the balloons and be incinerated by the explo- sion of hydrogen gas. If the raider dives under the balloon, the cables wreck his plane. If he flies just over them, the air artillery knows his exact elevation because the gunners know how high the balloons are and how high the clouds are. With elevations known in advance, anti-aircraft artillery is very dan gerous.
