BETHINK ONESELF

Today we do not pause to gloat
over our wars Of victory of the past
not do we speak of a fallen foe with
hate. America gives this day in
Maytime and in springtime, to COM
memorate the occasions when SOL
diers OF our wars sacrificed them
selves for a cause that was hailed
as right and glorious. This day OF
memory is significant in that it
stands for sympathy, sentiment and
a symbol of peace although it orig
mated in war. There should never
fail to be deep spirit Of honor and
respect in the hearts of us for those
living and those dead who felt their
duty to country was greater than
the offering of their lives. We, here
in KenneWick must not lose sight
or thought of the noble endeavor OF
those defenders who were furnished
by this town and every other town
in this great land, as cannon fod-
der upon the altar of freedom"
Many brave lads have been laid
away on camp grounds and many
are those souls who have weathered
the storm to live today and place a
wreath Gin memory"
We have been gathering round
local hearths discussing the pres
ent struggles abroad and we speak
Of past accomplishments when this
nation won wars and claimed re-
wards and spoils. The air waves are
filled with war broadcasts, news
paper columns teeming with war
data Of maps, pictures and CORES
pondents' tales. We are not able II
we would try, to get away from the,
thought of Memorial Day this year!
Too much we think of military
strength and naval supremacy and
too little do we pray for brother
hood and understanding. Can any
OF us truthfully say we are proud
to give sons, fathers, brothers,
friends to death and to battle so
that in years to come we may gath
er at their graves and place flow
er in memory?

THEY DESERVE 1T

Last September Worcester, Mass
began safety campaign against
traffic accidents. Today they are
reaping the harvest of this program
for the National Safety Council has
awarded them first place in its
population class. The campaign
was waged against those cases
which reach the police and are
fixed" It doesn't make any diff
ference how many laws the city
makes to protect you if some one
can elk it, The city of Worcester
had difficulty in making their citi-
zens realize that laws apply to every
one regardless who the guilty party
might be. After much effort and
when they saw the accident rate
dropping, all began to cooperate.
Today, they are a very proud city.
We can Go it in Kennewick if we
would care to try.

Some folks spend a good deal Of
time worrying over the fact that
babies born today are born to pay
a good sized share of the national
debt. That Is one thing nat we
don't believe in worrying q lot
about. One bunch is that the ba-
bies that are being born today are
going to turn out so much smarter
than the present generation is that
they won't need to worry about
thing like the present national debt.
Our guess is they will work out
system Of economies and manage
ment that will do away with de-
pressions like the present one and
make unnecessary big national
debts.

The Democratic convention Of
Nebraska turned down a PROPOSE
ton to pay a $50 a month old age
pension to be financed by a state
liquor monopoly The rejection Of
the proposition put to an end at
least one vicious circle. BY consum-
ing liquor to provide funds for the
relief program the consuming pub
lie would be producing more relief
ers. It would be something like the
farmer who brought more land, to
raise more corn, to feed more hogs,
to buy more land.

SCHOOL BUSES

| Nearly five hundred patrons o.
the district went to the school cleo.
ton Saturday to express their opin.
ions on the matter of bonding the
district for the new buses. A decid.
ed opinion was expressed. The pa.
irons do not want to bond the dis
trict for this purpose.
It seems that the directors should
therefore, not undertake to buy the
equipment on the lease-rental plan
as they have a perfect legal right
| to do.
AS we have previously stated, 1t
seems to us that the purchase OF
one or two buses a year would be
the logical way to handle the Sit
uation. However, there are possible
financial objections to this system
and perhaps it cannot be handled
this way. If this is the case, let's
have the P!T.A. or some other
agency other than the school board,
secure a complete report from the
State Highway Department and see
just where the district stands in
this matter.
linen, after the report has been
received, give it adequate publicity.
Then, in the fall when another
election can be held, put the prop
osition squarely up to the patrons Of
the district, either the parents
furnish their own transportation or
vote special millage for the pur-
chase of the entire fleet of new
buses and pay for them with one
levy, with no interest or special
hardship upon the operation of the
district.
We can't help but think that the
purchase of one or possibly two
new BUSES year is the proper way
to handle the situation. Parents
want their children given transpor-
tation and in safe and comfortable
buses. It would cost much more
for the parents themselves to bring
their children to town every day.
And surely some way can be found
to handle the matter in this man
ner if that's the way the patrons Of
the district want it. Bonding is not
the answer.

The worst mistaken people In this
country are the ones who sing
themselves to sleep with the idea
that war cannot be brought to our
shores. In the event this group
should have its way, and this coun-
try should fail to prepare, and war
should come, they could, Of course,
square things with the rest of the
country by admitting that they were
mistaken and really didn't believe
1t would happen. It would be q
comforting confession to make un-
der some other nations flag as the
people Of two or three European ma
tions are already doing today.

It Is very evident that during the
past twenty years Germany has not
only been preparing for war by
building ajrplanes and guns and
tanks. She has also been training
men. Guns, airplanes and tanks can
be built by the Allies in q hurry,
but men cannot be trained in a

this time it should never make the
mistake Of failing utterly to prepare
