WALK FOR HEALTH

All of those names drawn in the
draft selection expect to undergo a
program of military training and
systemized living that will be a COM
plete change from their former life
as civilians. Many of them will be
benefited and will gain something in
character building and military die
ipline. One thing they will do that
will develop them, that would de-
velop you and if we did more of
it here in KenneWick, is walking!
Folks outside of army camps need
to practice and profit from this
exercise which is billed as fine
body builder. Walking has almost
disappeared with the tandem bicy-
Gle. Stop and watch how we hunt
to find a parking. place for OUT
autos so that we won't have to
walk so far" European soldiers are
capable of walking 80 miles a day.
American soldiers walk Is miles a
day. We knew that we have been a
nation fortunate in its lurxuries but
due to motor cars we have become
soft. Let's walk more and be health

MORE LIKE THIS

A prominent citizen, whatever hi!
bent, will at some time during hi!
reign of fame, be called upon tt
speak publicly. We have hearc
many orationS that have moved us
and many others that left us cold
In each audience there will be some
one to remark, "that's the best
speech he ever made" With the
thousands of speeches coming from
OUR platforms, what man can chall-
enge in greatness an impromptu ad-
q dress made from hurried notes,
given at Gettysburg, November 10,
1868? The assembly that heard the
immortal words of Lincoln had
principally met to listen to an ora
ton by another man. Lincoln had
not been given top billing. In fact,
so impressive was the first bit that
the second one made by Lincoln was
put on the second page of a num-
Der of the nations newspapers. The
later calls for copies of this speech
caused Abraham Lincoln to take his
notes in hand and make the Gettys-
burg Address for posterity.
Are we doing today as they did
then, allowing such greatness to
pass over OUR heads, and is there to-
day such magnificence coming from
statesmen and we are not farsight-
ed enough to appreciate its sig
nificance and possibilities for the
never-dying fame? There aren't
many In Kennewick who feel they
are missing oratory that will live
through the ages as has Lincoln's
Gettysburg address. We feel it's |
worth in every word, every thought |
and sigh that it bestoWs in its wis
dom upon the generations to come,
from a humanitarian benevolent,
lind, sympathetic. Time has not
outmoded the Gettysburg address,
Tine has only deepened its mean
ng and proven it's value.
