P.-T.A. To Continue Program

That the best thing the PIT. A..
can do to help defense is to con-
tinue its work. on benali OF chill

NAL lives as possible, was the op-

word brought back to 29th PIT.
A. district by Mrs. Guy A. Weakley
of Ell Centre. district president who
attended the board meeting last
week in Los Angeles
Mrs. Weakley's report was made
at the monthly meeting of the dis
trict board in Caiexico Monday
This opinion was adopted by the
board in the report of Mrs. w. R.
Goddard, chairman of the defense
committee: Recognizing our own
program as program of real
worth in the national defense, we
re-emphasize at this time the need
for the continued effort in behalf
of the children of the State of Cal
ifornia, through our regular de-
partment of work, is our best con-
tribution to defense We realize at
the same time that by keeping op-
en- these channels of the organiza-
ton we will be prepared to give
the greatest emergency service in
the event of disaster
The state board gave approval
to individual purchases of defense
bonds and stamps and by associa-

tary affairs committee today.
Swift estimated it would cost
$1O,000,0OO to get the program un-
derWay.
Although he set the initial force
at only 12,200. Rep Edith Nowse
Rogers, r., Mass, author of the bill,
said the force probably would reach
a total of 10000 to $4,000 women in
non-combatant posts.
Earlier Gen. George C. Marshall,
chief Of staff, informed the COM
mittee by letter that the bill pre-
sented "a sound method fol meeting
military requirements.
Swift said 9,70O women probably
would be used in air raid warning
and filter" stations.
About 5000 civilian women work
ers are now working in air raid
information posts but there is a
need for military control" he said.
Defects of the existing system, he
said, are absences of the unpaid
workers and the great turnover in
personnel.
Women with the air raid warning
service could perform such duties
as clerks, plotters. tellers, spoilers
and messengers, he aid, and in
othcr military work they could serve
as clerks, machine operators, tele-
phone and telegraph operators,
dieticianS and possibly hoStesseS.
Swift said the ultimate size of
the WAAC will depend on military
requirements which cannot be de-
termined now.

DO 1T EARLY

DO IL EARLY
Maybe it seem too soon to some
Kennewick shoppers that we should
start now to suggest they do their
Christmas shopping early. But this
year especially We might heed the
advice of business men in order to
help eliminate the last minute rush
in which most of us engage just
before Christmas day. Perhaps most
of us are so used to being warned
about this last minute shopping
stunt that we will refuse to pay any
attention to it again this year. But
this year isn't like other shopping
years, we must remember. The
reason for this early shopping ap-
peal is not because of crowds but
because the shortage faced in labor,
of difficulties in transportation and
of distributing merchandise. These
are several of the shopping prob
lens to face this Christmas season
and loyal buyers who have been pur-
chasing goods recently can testify
that they. have found difficulties
arising in normal shopping days.
So let's make out our lists and get
busy. -. ..-.. DE-. ..-..
