VANISHING WINTERS

Many Of the citizens Of Kenne-

long enough, say several thousand
years, the polar ice will disappear

the Gulf Stream is warming things

upon the sun, and maybe both are
correct. However, the oldsters about
this area can well recall the DAYS OF

KEEP ME WELL

KEEP ME WELL
The widely discussed system Of
keeping well through the means OF
socialized medicine is spreading into
more states and cities throughout
|, the country. This is medical insur-
ance where prospective patients will
pay in advance for future services
Of physician, nurse and hospital. In
New York State the dental society
will begin a year of furnishing den
tai care on this basis of prepay
ment. The question of health in
surance has been a topic hashed
over and quarreled about for these
last three years. The idea started
out with group of 40 physicians
who became interested in providing
health insurance for low-income
families who are unable to meet
medical costs when the emergency
arises. The government also be-
came interested in the growing
movement and much has developed
since the originators first voiced
their appeal. The state Of Califor-
MIA, this past month, inaugurated q
plan for voluntary health insur-
ance for monthly fee Of $3.50. It
will be just short time when med
ical and hospital care will be avail
able to thousands Of low-income
Californians, it IS stated
There have been many instances
In Kennewick when the means Of |
health insurance would have been
blessing to families. The cost OF |
illness has been so high it has kept |
many Of us on our feet when bed /
would have been more In order. It |
mas always been to expensive for q
poor man to be sick. With the
favor for socialized medi-
:ine, there will be fewer emergency
operations where the patient has
put off, until the last minute, q ne
;essary attention that should have
,een taken care Of months before.
Keep Me Well" is q fine and wise
slogan.

At the moment, Congress is sharp

ending last July Ian $4,000, OOO.-

to increased tax receipts and a

reasoning, a $4,000, 000, 900 national

taxes.
Illustration Of how other govern

the opponents Of the theory point
out, these governments have done

this In some circles

Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mer-
GURUS, because Paul was the chief
speaker. They also brought oxen and
garlands, and would have made sa-
crifice before the disciples, but
Barnabas forbid them, saying, "Sirs,
why do ye these things? We also are
men of like passions with you, and
preach unto you that ye should turn
from these vanities unto the living
God"
But even after this, enemies ston-
ed Paul until he was unconscious,
when, thinking he was dead, they
left him. The disciples surrounded
him, however, and he recovered and
was able to go with Barnabas to
Derbe.
In~Derbe they preached the Cos
pei, confirmed many people, and re-
turned to Lystra, then to Iconium
and Antioch, organizing churches,
ordaining elders, cheering them to
continue the work even in the face
of tribulation and persecution. After
other Wanderings to Pisidia, Pam
phylia, Perga and Alfalfa, they sail
ed to Antioch where they reviewed
their work and all that had happen
ed to them.
Paul called this work of establish
ing churches building" According

Now we go back to the Old Tes-
lament, to a very different type of
missionary-Jonah, the man who
cast out of a ship because the sailors
thought he was the cause of the
great storm that they were encoun-
tering, and who was swallowed by
a Whale-or some great fish. He had
disobeyed God, who had told him to
go to Nineveh. After three days he
was thrown out of the fish and onto
shore. The voice of the Lord then
again told Jonah to go to Nineveh,
where the people were very wicked.
Jonah rose up and went to Nineveh
and told the people there that be-
cause of their Wickedness God was
going to destroy their city within
forty days.
The people repented of their
wickedness, and all of them, from
the king to the lowest person, wore
sackcloth and sat in ashes. God was
so moved at their repentance that
He decided not to ruin the city. Now,
Jonah, who should have been glad
that the people of Nineveh were
sorry for their sins and were spared
the awful fate, was angry about it.
So he went out Of the city, and sat
down on the outskirts and sulked,
and told the, Lord that He should
take his life Jonah was pacified,
however, and Nineveh was saved.

What's Duce's Objective?
II Duce has to be given credit for
surprising everyone except, prob
ably, Der Fuehrer
But, ask diplomats and military
strategists, what's his objective?
Albania, for itself alone, is hardly
worth having. It's small, thinly pop
ulated and extremely poor-unless it
has uncovered mineral resources,
and that's more than problematic.
It may have a naval value, as one

Yet who cares greatly for control of
the Adriatic? Besides, Italy already
