A MATTER OF OPINION

There are many readers OF the
Courier-Reporter who disagree about
the article printed in a medical
journal concerning the hazards OF
farming. The study was made by a
doctor who reports that about so
percent of the accidents happening
ON the farm occur in the barnyard.
From his report Farming is an ex-
ceedingly dangerous occupation"
This is true to an extent but sta
tistics show that more accidents oc-
cur in the home itself, and this
would appear that housekeeping
would also be a dangerous occupa-
ton. It seems to us that any sort
of work of small consequence even,
would be dangerous if carelessness
is a part of it. Caution is a factor
necessary in whatever endeavor one
might undertake and certainly
farming is no exception. Consider
the newsprint to ascertain the
number of accidents that occur on
the farms and you will not find so
many incidents that you will consid-
er farming dangerous. The handling
Of farm implements of farm ami
mails, may tend to be a dangerous
nature at times, but those are not
frequent enough accidents to appan
the reader as he scans his paper.
Care and caution will avoid farm
mishaps the same as the casualit-'
les occurring in homes and on high
ways, in manufacturing plants and
business offices.

Modern history records no event
so indefensible and ruthless as the
invasion of Poland, and the de-
struction of her people. Poland was
q peaceful nation of thrifty, hard
working people, obsesSed by no
dreams eff extension Of her borders.
Her entire resources were devoted to
peace time pursuits and the building
of q citizenship and system of gov
eminent that would afford the larg-
est measure of opportunity and lib
erty to her people, and which would
tend to make her good neighbor to
every one. No settlement of the war
that does not restore to Poland
every inch Of her territory, and in
demnify her, as far as possible, for
her material loss, should be consid-
cred by the Allies. To make any
thing short of such a settlement
would be to fall short Of their
pledge to this heroic nation.

DO NOT FORGET

Our legal public holiday, Armis-
tice Day, celebrated the eleventh of
November through proclamation is
sued by the President, reaches us
this year when it will be most SOL
EMMY observed by the nation. It
asks that we the people, observe the
occasion in schools and churches
or other suitable places with appro-
pirate ceremonies" The most fit
ting observance by those who have
not forgotten the first Armistice
Day, is with heartfelt prayers for
our protection against the turmoil
that writhes on the doorstep of
Europe. We beseech for help in
averting a danger that might engulf
KenneWick, and we ask for assist
ance in preventing the need of adj
ditional days of armistice for the
future.
