NO HOSE


There has been a lot of limiting
and warning to KenneWick women
that they are on the way to a stock
ingless year and though there was
a furry of silk stocking buying last
summer when the scare first hit
the women buyers, since that time
they have been able to purchase hose
and felt that they had been undu1y
frightened. But according to those
who know of the stock Of silk sup
ply in this country, they inform us
that it will have been exhausted by
Easter. This means the silk that was
used for hose and lingerie. And take
the word of headquarters, this is no
false alarm this time!
There are questions raised about
why the government needs so much
silk in national defense. 1t finds that
silk is the only substance known that
leaves no ash when it is burned and
so is the reason the government
finds it invaluable in making silk
bags for loading high explosives, in
fact it goes into ammunition bags
rather than balloons and para
chutes.
The silk stocking issue has been
brought up in many local homes and
yet none of the women here have

OUR FARM HOMES

The average size of families is
larger in the rural areas than in the
cities, and where is there a bet
ter place to raise a family! They
don't think the farmer is a pitiable
object, so far removed from city life
and culture, so isolated and lonely
out in the open spaces. The man in
the city is sitting trying to figure
out ways of getting to the country.
Take weather-beaten farm build
ing that is overrun with weeds and
grass and with a little money you
can make it home. Take some pref
~ fair farming land to fertilize and
plant and furrow and you can eat a
hearty meal. Make pasture land
available for your small stock, raise
couple of pigs and don't forget a
kitchen garden. Turn back the cover
on your bed at night with a tired
hand, but your crops, livestock and
weather will be there waiting for you
tomorrow. Rest We well, raise your
family to understand that births.

With the vast increase IN 1avia ton
being caused by the war we look to
see a tremendous upsurge in civilian
flying following the close of the war
Right now would seem to be the
proper time to make preparations
for this increase in traffic Kenne-
wick's present airport, in light of the
recent events is entirely inadequate
to handle the kind of traffic antici-

nearly three thousand deaths and
about a thousand casualties were
caused by their neglect in the face of
repeated warnings. The Japs gave us
a terrible licking there-and they've
got us beat in another way, too. If
these officers had been Japs there
would have been no need for a court
marshal, for both would have killed
themselves long before this.

about such things are always played

Back in 1880 a man using a two
horse pillow took seven hours to pillow
one acre of wheat land. Today a
modern tractor does the same job in
one hour. And this is typical of the
way We go to town! The mechanical

winter, marking time until spring

ton, these machines are our hurry

 In Making
Two Sides of Question Are Giyen-HoIIywood View
 and Also Outsiders
By ROBIN cooNs

HOLLYWOOD July = Glamour factory at war:
 The picture industry has been showered with posies for it's con tributions in documentary, train ing and educational films to the war effort.
 On the feature film side there has been criticism, some within the industry, suggesting that Hol- lywood is not doing enough. None deny that the screens major func- ton is entertainment and none be- little the value of escape" films in peace or war. The plaint from outside is that Hollywood, when 1t tackles a war subject, tends to foster the public's delusions, either by treating the Axis with ridicule and wisecracks, or by depicting Am erican heroes as supermen who easily mop up hordes of Japs make the Gestapo look stupid or single handed foil network of saboteurs.
 From within but let Screen Actor, the guild magazine, say it: Hollywood lis still not getting the direction it would will ingly take from other government agencies-the Office of Facts and Figures, the Army the Navy-about i how feature films can best be put to use by the government"
 Lowell Mellett, the governments film coordinator, came out and sug- gested 26 short subject topics-infor- national and inspirational,- which the studios promptly divided among themselves and put into prepara- tion for delivery within six months.
 MT. Mellett said nothing about features, doubtless because he was familiar with the films already in production, or because he re- membered how far ahead of the game Hollywood was in prewar days when its anti-Axis films won the wrath of several members of Congress.
