THOSE OLD TIMERS

They tell us that the used car
dealers are doing extra business be-
cause of the shortage of new cars
Wonder if the used car dealer will
be able to sell to the owner of that
rundown, antiquated model we
passed on the road yesterday. May
be the good used car may take some
of these badly worn cars off of
the highway. "A big percentage of
auto accidents are traced to worn
brake bands, poor tires and lights
and so on. Often these models are
owned by people who have no insur-
ance to cover an accident. There
are many people who can't afford
another car. But man has a Ger
tain responsibility to others and if
he must drive such a car it is duty
to keep it in the safest condition
possible, being sure to afford to pro-
tect his fellowmen by carrying in
surance.

KIWANIS COOPERATES

The greatest thing in our world Is
the moral nature of man. Anything
which contributes to its strength
and growth is a blessing. Anything
which weakens and undermines it is
the greatest of evils. The Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ
in America has designated October
as Church Loyalty Month. In CO.
operation with the churches, Kiwar-
is International has set October 4th
and 9Th as the days when KiWanians
may give special support to this
movement. The church is the only
institution in existence which exists
for the one and only purpose of de-
yeloping mans spiritual nature.
Throughout its long history it has
chung to its original mission in the
world. In these days when the
minds of men must be fortified with
every moral power that exists it is
fitting that we should pause and
give something of our strength and
support to the institution, which
above all others, keeps alive free
dom and progress, and progressively
makes our world more fit place in
which to live. RI. J.. LA MOTT

The Commerce department re-
ported the other day that income
paid out to individuals in July rep
resented an annual income rate of
80 billion dollars, the highest on
record. The highest mark reached
by national income just before the
depression was 81 billion dollars. 1t
has been the belief of the admins
tration that if national income could
be brought back to this point the
depression would disappear. The de-
sired mark has been reached with
some to spare. 1T will soon be known
for certain whether or not the in
come goal sought by the admins
tration the past several years will
result int the passing of the depres-
sion. The hope is general that this
is one guess that will not go astray.

OLD TIME PHOTOS

Many of today@s luxuries through
common usage have assumed the
proportion of necessities. Photog-
raphy is one of them. We go back in
memory to when it was in the form
of stereographs. Those pictures en-
tertained friends in the evenings
when the complete sets were taken
from their ornate boxes on top of
the marble stand in the parlor.
There were the stereoptican views on
paper and the more expensive ones
on glass, all painted in delicate
shades to draw obs and abs for the
glory of America and the history of
Europe. OF course the family al
bum had. its place on the entertain
ment program, but the views OF
Niagara and Palestine seemed to
outsfine in popularity views of
Aunt Hepzibah and Uncle Grover.
Little did the folks who placed the
Sterescopes to their eyes, adjusting
the slide and pressing the velvet
edge close to the cheeks, think that
tn future would find about every
one running about swapping this
and that, with movies and photo
genie matter a topic of common in
tereSt.

Tt now developes that the prize
Norden bomb sight supposed to be
a carefully guarded secret in this
country, has been in the hands of
the Germans since 1898. It was Sc
cured from this country through a
clever spy ring. The news comes as
a shock to many as does the other
news showing the extent of opera
ton of this spy ring in this coun-
try. the freedom of their movements
and the amount and nature of the
information furnished Germany. It
has all come out since the arrest and
hearing of sixteen alleged spies brot
about by the F.. b. j. The reaction
Of the man in the street is that
this country needs to employ as a
part of its enforcement agency an
efficient firing squad. We are too
careless, and too Indifferent, and too
easy for our own good. The guilty
parties, will, in all probability, be
let off with light prison sentence.

Newspapers are always anxious to

Newspapers are always anxious to
print letters from their readers on
subjects of general interest. There
must be a limit to the length, of
course, and of general interest. Com
ments on conditions, suggestions for
improvement even complaints
about civic affairs are always &C
ceptable for publication. About the
only restrictions are as to length,
according to the space available,
they must not be hbelous and while
it is not necessary to publish the
writer's name, the publisher must
know it. There is absolutely no ex-
ception to this rule. We have an
other letter for publication this week,
but cannot print it for the above
reason.

POOR SPELLERS

Each year finds our national
school system more efficient. We
are proud indeed of our educational
advantages offered the young, but
many people in Kennewick still have
one criticism to make that appears
to indicate our school system is lack
ing in one respect. We may have it
over OUR grandparents in general
education but you can bet their
generation could spell better than
scholars of today. From what we
have heard, they used to figure in
the old days that spelling was some
thing aWfully important in educa-
ton even if you could conjugate a
lot of Latin verbs. We aren't try
ing to cast any reflection on the
methods employed in OUR schools,
but there are a lot of business men
who employ a large number of grad
yates every year, who complain
about what poor spoilers there are
coming from our schools.
In recent years there has been a
revival of the old-faShioned SPELL
ing bee of those long ago days when
1t was considered something Of a
disgrace to be poor speller. Radio
stations have used the spelling game
for competition and entertainment.
If these spelling bees help to make
good spoilers then we should en-
courage them. Start noticing how
keen are so many of these minds,
with what ease they memorize
lengthy passages from books, quote
figures and facts rapidly and cor
rectly, but then ask them to spell
ten ordinary words. Maybe it is be-
cause we have a hard time getting
the letters in the right place that
we want our young one to do better

A local girl recently rejected the
proposal of marriage from her boy
friend. She told him, however, by
way of consolation that she would
put him in Glass la, where ne
would be subject to the first call
when he had demonstrated that he
could make a living for family.
