As rationing gets further under
way the amount and the number
of items one can buy will become
less and less. Old timers won't be
disturbed much about it. They will
all recall when the grocer's shelves
and the dry goods merchants
shelves did not offer nearly the
variety one finds today even with
rationing at its height. In recent
years we have accumulated a lot
of eating habits which may or may
not be as good as those our grand
fathers knew Our grandfathers got
their vitamins from rolled oats
and corn meal mush. They were
much cheaper than the fancy pack
aged breakfast foods that we have
come to look upon as a necessary
part of our breakfast menu. Food
value considered, some of the pre-
pared foods cost more than the best
cuts of meat, fish or other choice
foods. p

. 1t is more than a patriotic duty to
buy War Bonds. It is smart bust
ness. In buying War Bonds one not
only puts his money in safe place
at a good rate of interest, but at
the same time he buys an insurance
policy for himself after the war is
over. Without doubt at that time
some extra money is going to prove
mighty acceptable. The man who
has it saved up is going to find the
going much easier. In addition to
this, every bond one buys helps
the war effort just that much.

The government is talking Of re-
ducing the production Of news print
and other paper to release the men
and the materials for defense in
dustries. Of course we don't expect
muct attention to be paid to it
but we would like to make a Sug-
gestion that the government bureaus
cut down on the amount of material
that is being sent out, much Of which
is of little value. Business condi-
tons will perhaps work to reduce
the amount Of paper used by civ
ilians to a greater degree than the
governments proposed reduction.

SHOULD RECONSIDER

Comments heard here during the
past week indicate pretty clearly
that the citizens of this community
are definitely in favor of deferring
until after the war, any action by
the PUD to take over the P. p. g. l.
system in Benton county.
Nor are these comments coming
only from people who hold firm to
the belief that our electric power
service had best be left in the hands
of business management. Many of
them come from sincere believers
in public ownership of power, who
recognize that this is not time to
make the plunge.
It is one thing to take over a COM
plicated business in time of peace,
when man power is plentiful and the
mistakes of inexperience might pos
sibly he afforded. But it is quite
another thing to cut loose from an
established and time-proven organ
ization at time when we wouldn't
know where to turn to get men of
skill and experience to maintain an
essential service like electricity. 81
If the PUD does go ahead with a
condemnation suit the first result
will be that men will have to be pull
ed away from really essential work
to make a complete inventory and
of every piece of property
the company has in the county.
Then other men will have to take
days and days from necessary ac-I
tivities to prepare the testimony to
be given in court, and to follow thru
with the involved procedure of a.
condemnation suit. q. r., A II
Common sense cries out against
this using up of time on suuch eff
forts when there is so much for
each of us to do in other ways.
The PUD certainly should recon-
slider. III

The word has gone out that the
women of the nation will be called
upon to register. The purpose, it is
stated, is not to draft women for
work, but to discover their skills and
to direct them to the employment
they are best fitted to do. At the
present time there are about four
and a half million women in this
country employed in war work. If
the women of this country enter
war work in proportion as the wom-
en- of England have entered war
work the number will increase to 20
million.

After what happened at Pearl
Harbor it is difficult to believe that
any American armed force in the
Southern Pacific could be taken by
surprise, yet this is what Pearson
and Allen in their Washington
Merry-Go-Round say happened in
the Solomon Islands when three
American cruisers were lost. Ac-
cording to this authority the ships
were surprised like sitting ducks"
by the japanese, with the COM
mander absent and most of the crew
not at their battle stations.

FIRST MILK ROUTE

The discussion of butterfat reduc-
ton in milk, ice cream, cheese and
butter, brings up an item of inter-
est in regard to milk that we pass
on to our Kennewick readers. This
concerns the first retail milk route
which was started 100 years ago
when a young man working on a
dairy farm in Harlem which is now
a part of New York City, figured
that milk route would pay. He
saw these were enough people who
didn't have cows of their own, who
lived in the city, to make it profit
able to deliver milk to their homes.
So he started and, Immediately be-
came successful and before long he
was buying milk from upstate dairy
farms to meet the growing demands.
From this start, the idea of seryic-
ing the public with the present ma
tionwide house-to-house milk de-
livery, We today have this industry
in every city and town of size. We
may be reduced in quantity but
we will probably never again be
without milk routes in our country.

THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR

A day to count our blessing, just
one day, and so many blessings? On
are you of a different mind an6
ask what we can be thankful fol
at such time as this? That there
are bombings of women and chill
dren, that cities lay in ruins, homes
destroyed, hearts laid low, all this
and more today's Thanksgiving finds
in this grief-stricken world. But
We still have had our successful har-
vest and in memory of this was the
first Thanksgiving named, thanking
God for food enough to carry the
, Pilgrim colony through the COM
ng winter. For the blessing OF
labor and of harvest, then and to-
day, Thanksgiving yesterday and to-
morrow! Remember that the Pill
grims were refugees themselves. AS
in 1920 they established their homes
in this new land where they had fled
to follow the faith of their choice, to
so live as they chose by their own
governing and to build for future
for their children of such bless
ings as freedom, the opportunity of
Justice and the benefits of truth.
As they were grateful for these in
their new life, the completion of the
harvest, the blessings offered them
in their second winter, then we today
can likewise bend our knee and offer
the same prayer in gratitude. With
out gratitude we are a lost people,
and who of us in this town of Ken
newick can be wholly without bless
ings2 1915. ~ j.; Il
This is indeed a year to make man
ask himself If he is especially
blessed. Outlawry, humanity bat
Ting against brutality, lost hopes
and cherished dreams cast aside,
misled people, prosecutions, poverty,
all these cutting at our foundations
in today's Thanksgiving world. But
We still acknowledge and confess the
mercies that we have found amidst
all this other. AS the early settlers
were first giving thanks for food, /,
each year added more material and
spiritual blessings until today our
thanks cannot be limited, its bounds
are endless. We are nation at
work to maintain these blessings, to
fight for them as we pray for them;
to lift our eyes and find it good,
our struggle worth the fighting.
Thankful for churches and schools,
our libraries and meeting halls,
recreation centers, our blessings of
beauty in nature and enjoyment in
those every day things that make
life worth living, love and friend
ship, companionship and under
standing. We are grateful for
strength to labor whether it be in
our garden, home, factory, or If
need be, on drilling ground. These
