God Bless America
c. S. BealI, Raymond Herald

God Bless America and the civil
cation which affords us our liberty.
The law of nature is the law of
the survival of power. Since the
beginning of time both man and
beast have grouped together to form
the strength necessary for self
preservation. Families united, tribes
Joined, and as power grew, so grew
avarice and greed. The very strong
subjugated the strong, and enslaved
the weak. Culture grew, and arts
and sciences were developed to a
high degree.
Excavations and ruins prove that
peoples of hundreds and thousands
of years ago were mentally trained
and highly efficient with a know
ledge along certain lines that ex-
ceeded ours of today. But with all
their culture, they were never civil
lied, as the evidence of the atroci-
ties and sacrifices shows.
Only the growth of civilization
has brought us to the point where
strength grants the right of the
weak to live and guide it's own life.
There is no more relationship be-
tween culture and civilization than
between force and strength.
Everyday we read of a. boosted,
unequalled culture" which appar-
emily carries with it the same big
otry, greed and savagery of the time
OF Nero and the dark ages; a "cul-
ture" untempered by civilization or
by any thought of the rights of
others; a culture" that is being
forced upon civilized world.
It is ours to build up an invincible
strength and to be so alert that our
civilization and its subsequent free
dom may never be in danger from
so-called culture"
God Bless America and God give
us a civilization to us strength only
to protect those rights we so highly
prize.

We regard the appointment of Will
nam knudsen as director of the
defense commission as one of the
best appointments the administra-
ton has ever made. Given a free
reign William Knudsen can get the
Job done and done in time. Nothing
should be done by the administra-
ton. In justice to Mr.. Knudsen no
restraint should be laid down that
will in any wise hamper or restrict
him or hinder his program. Knud-
sen is a practical man who has had
wide experience in industry. His
choice for the place was a wise
choice indeed.

After all, it is the taxpayer who
keeps the wheels turning, pays all
the bills, supports the government,
the welfare relief agencies and pro-
Vides the things that make the
wheels go round. Very often he
doesn't have much left for his own
needs after he pays his taxes, but
he buckles in and works night and
day, if necessary, to get money
enough to pay his taxes. OF all the
honored men he deserves recognition
most.

We can't help but envy the man
who can keep the top of his desk
clean without throwing away things
that he is sure to want the next day.
We have tried both plans and neith-
er seems to work, If we throw stuff
away as fast as it comes in we are
sure to have a need for it the day
after we throw it away. If we pile
1t up on the desk to use in the event
a need later developes, we cannot
find it when we want it

Why is it that most of us use our
hands when we talk, some of us more
than others? It is because that
back in the dim and distant past
we knew no language but the sign
language and the effort to commun-
icate one with the other formed a
habit that the passing of million
years has not yet eradicated from
the race? IF this is true how tired
and weary and worn these voluble
persons we know today would be if
all their voluminous thoughts now
expressed in many, many words
would have to be conveyed to their
patient listeners by means Of gesti-
culating hands.

Every time we read OF strike In
one Of the defense industries in
which an already highly paid work
er is willing to tie up the defense
program in an effort to increase an
already liberal wage, we think of
the soldier boys who are also enter
ing the defense program for $50 a
month. 1t suggests that when the
country embarks upon a defense
program of this type that everything
should go in, man power, labor, in
dustry and capital It should be
everyone's responsibility, not the
responsibility of the boys and young
men whom chance has put into the
army.

People living out on Third Avenue I

People living out on Third Avenue
East have petitioned the council for
the formation of a sewer district.
The petition bears the signatures of
a majority, if not all, the residents
in the district affected. The city
should give every assistance prompt
ly when citizens ask for civic i'm
provements and are anxious enough
to get them to voluntarily agree to
pay for them.

The Orthopedic hospital in Seattle
has long been one of the beneficiar-
les from Kennewick citizens. Also,
1t has cared for quite a considerable
number of Benton county children.
Annually benefits are given for the
hospital and money and supplies are
forwarded. Now Kennewick people
are to be given an opportunity of
aiding the hospital at no financial
outlay. The schools have been
equipped with receptacles for the
collection of tinfoil which will be
collected, cleaned and sold for the
benefit of the hospital. So save all
tinfoil and other acceptable mater
1als and have the kids take it to
school to add to the collection.

We've often wondered what kind
of a church it would make if all the
faithful members of the several
churches in the community be-
longed to the same church. And then

church. What kind of a church
would they make?

One of the reasons why there is a
farm problem in this country is that
the setup permits and protects
plumbers and carpenters and other
workers to receive from one to four
dollars an hour while the farmer re-
ceives less than this for a full day.
There will continue to be a farm
problem until both classes eat at
the same table.

THESE YOUNG DRIVERS

In Chicago, safety bureau sta
tistics show that young drivers in
the various age groups, are involv-
ed in from seven to three times as
many fatal accidents as drivers of
mature years. This is figure for
thought and when you see that 16-
year-old drivers have nearly seven
times as many fatal accidents as
those of 80 years, II year-old drivers
have four times as many, 1921
about three times. There is an I'M
proVement after the age of 80 and
until you reach the 48 mark. From
there on more accidents occur.
Those older drivers of IS years have
as good a record as the ones of 81.
This alters the idea of many a Ken
newick man who felt that youth was
better than age behind the wheel.
When you learn that most of the
youthful accidents happen because
of speed, you pray for the wisdom
of age to prevail with the youth and
give him either not so much free
dom with the family auto or limit
his use of it depending upon his
conduct while he handles it. Too
many parents are needless of
their children who go scooting over
the countryside at a lightning pace,
piled into car where rides hilar-
ity with caution stuck back with the
spare tire. A hold must be kept upon
them, a rein to keep in check the
reckless spirit that speeds to sud-
den death. What difference if the
child bemoans his fate as hamper
ed and suppressed by tyrannical
for not giving way. Some |
day, when he grows to manhood's
estate, with his own problems to |
face, will he recognize why Dad was !
such an old fogey and mother was
such fuss budget.

We are in favor of keeping the
Dies committee on the job as long
as the American Legion thinks it
necessary. The American Legion is
the outstanding organization of the
country when it comes to being on
the lookout for un-American &C
tivities. Everyone else seems too
busy to think much about it or to
pay much attention to it. Someone
once said, and it is still true, "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of iber-
ty." Let us not lose our liberty
through our neglect.
