lSOIISTICE

SOlgSluCE
There are, few In Kennewick who
pay much attention to the approach
of June 81, and even then don't
think a great deal of the dates
meaning, which comes under the
heading of summer solstice. Solstice
means suns stance" and it is at
this time when the sun appears to
stand still in the heavens just be-
fore it starts on its downward
journey. Astronomy says that the
solstice is the furtherest the sun
swings away from the Equator. In
early European history it was the oc-
casion for large bonfires to be light
ed in order to aid the halting steps
of the sun and aid it in its travel
doWnwards. After the solstice the
days of summer are marked as short
er. Even the foliage begins to lose
the ripe green and starts in so slow
ly to accept the early autumn color
ings. This may sound too early to
most of us, but if we will pay spec
ial heed to the sounds of birds songs
that become more ahushed, we will
realize that the early man who built
his fire to revive dying sun wasn't
wrong. -........ ~ D.. @az.

SPORTS AFIELD

In spite of shortened or eliminate
ed vacation plans of men around
Kennewick, there will still be those
addicts of the sport of fishing who
will find time to indulge in their
pleasure during the summer. Maybe
they won't go as far away as other
years to unspoiled and wild sorts of
spots, will be content to do away
with expensive guides and hired
boats and willing take to close
stream and small fry, attaining the
usual srnburn with the same brand
of mosquito, attendant good food
and tired body to complete the pic
ture. But even though the woods
and hills are nearer home this sum-
mer, there is still the enjoyment of
waters, sun and stars, the beauty
and healthfulness of nature. Per-
hapS you may be a golf addict and
like TO hunt balls under a blazing
sun while you growl about your
game and argue about the number of
strokes of your companions. You
can take the opportunity in this
game to look more at. the scenery
and sniff extra doses of wholesome
air. All of this pleasure is possible
war or no war.

Although there is a definite and a
critical shortage Of rubber and many
persons now driving cars will be un-
able to secure requirements when
the tires now on their cars are worn
out. They have not in any wise cur
tailed their driving. They are driv-
ing as much and as fast as they ever
did. They are going to keep on driv-
ing until the last shred of rubber is
gone and the car cannot be used any
more. They remind us of the color
ed man n the song that was popular
on the cylinder photograph records
forty years ago. II am going to live

to drive anyhow as long as their

Remember when women thought
they had gained equal rights with
the men by being granted the right
to vote? The war, in our opinion
has brought greater measure OF
equality to women than the vote
ever brought. Women are entering
into industry by the thousands work
ing side by side with the men. Not
only this, but their work is most
excellent. Not only do no allow
ances have to be made, for the fact
that they are women, but they are
receiving the same wages that men
doing the same work are receiving.
They are not only excellent as cleo
trical workers, welders, precision in
strllment builders and aviators, but
in many fields heretofore held ex-
clusively by men. From all indica-
tions the new Women's army auxil-
larry corps now being organized is
going to be superior organization
and is going to do an exceptionally
fine piece of work. AL of these
things measure up to something.
They indicate that they are going to
have their effect upon this country
for years to come A new freedom
has come to women, a new vision
What its effect will be is interesting
to speculate upon and difficult to
predict.

Remember when the fellows who
said that some day Japan would be
at war with the United States were
referred to disparagingly as gingo-
lists. They were, it appears, prophets
who should have been listened to. If
the Japs had not been forced into
the war by Hitler before they were
ready to take us on they would have
reached their goal, which was the
driving out and the keeping out of
that section of the world all white
men and Westerns. Hitler forced
them into war with the United
States prematurely and showed their
hand. Because Of it they will fail
in their goal and ambition of years.

This country is calling upon every
wage Garner and person of in
come to buy bonds to help finance
the war effort. It Is asking that
pledges be signed to buy bonds
regularly that the Treasury Depart
ment may know just how much it
can count on from this source. Buy
ing these bonds is really no sacrifice
and should not be looked upon as a
sacrifice even though to buy them
does require some sacrifice. They
are an investment, the best invest
ment open to small investors to-
day. They constitute a savings ac-
count, an insurance policy against
financial worries.

We gather from our exchanges
that in a few places throughout the
country is there anything like the
usual interest in politics. Candidates
for county offices are slow to an
nounce. The same lethargy exists
in the cases of many state offices.
Those who have announced say that
they are not going to make an extern
sive campaign. The war, the alb
sence of many from home in the
army and in defense plants has re-
suited in politics becoming q ses-
ondary interest.

an aspirant for office who promises
the voters that If elected he will re-

taxes any more, what the world
wants now is bigger pensions, more
commodities, and more abundant
