BOeing Bombers
Being Assembled
Many soldiers, anti-air-
craft guns, blimps of
interest to guests

A "trip through the Boeing plant
was the highlight of a weekend trip
to Seattle taken by MIR. and Mrs.
r. E. Reed, who went to the coast
ito attend the summer sessions Of the
Washington Newspaper Publishers
association. They were accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. p. G. Richmond.
The trip through the Boeing plant
was arranged by the Seattle cham
her of commerce, who acted as hosts
to the country newspaper publishers
during their stay. Luncheons, din
ners and boat rides on the sound
were also on the program.
The precautions taken on the
Boeing trip made the publishers
realize that the country was really
at war. Lists of the names had to
be submitted to the war department
with sworn statements concerning
nationality, occupation, reliability,
and most everything else. The
names were checked and rechecked,
the publishers allowed to go in
small groups only.
Guides and guards answered no
questions and the trip through the
plant was so rapid that not a great
deal of information could be ga
thered.
However, the armed guards, the
+r,,ol-s with mounted and manned
machine guns, the canhouflaged air
plane pits, the blimps, scattered
here and there certainly made the
situation look serious to the pub
fishers from the smaller towns.
Uniforms from every branch OF
the service except the marines were
numerous everywhere, while young
people were noticeably absent. The
clerks and other employees were
either very young or gray-haired.

18th Celebration
Details Are Being
Rapidly Developed
Big parade, races and
games, picnic and fun
scheduled

The several committees having
the Fourth of July celebration in
hand are hard at work and gradual
ly the onpleted program for the
day is being worked out. This year,
without a rodeo as the main sus-
tanning center of interest, the cele-
bration will be limited to the one
day-Saturday, July 4.
The big parade, under "a committee
headed by Mrs. Strickler, is shap-
ing up in accordance with a plan
to illustrate the military effort of
the nation since the Revolution The
floats will illustrate the various
stages of development. Full coopera-
ton on the part of the navy contin-
gent has been assured.
Several of the Pasco businessmen
will also have entries in the parade
Mrs. Stricken was assured when she
attended the Wednesday meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce there. A
splendid spirit of cooperation was
evidenced at the meeting.
ALI kinds of races for the kids are
being set up by Vane Wilder, who
has charge of the sports for the day.
These will take place at the park
Immediately following the parade.
Then will come the annual Pioneer
Picnic. The always interesting dis
play of old time pictures will again
he feature Of this part of the pro-
gram. A speaker has been obtain
ed for the occasion, who will intro
duce the out-of-town guests at the
chicken dinner, which has become
routine at these affairs. Invitations
have already been mailed to old
timers who live out of town as well
as to the pioneers, who still reside in
the community. 4-, ..........
A soft ball tournament has been
arranged for the afternoon. This
feature is in charge of John Neu-
man, who has already secured sew
eral teams to compete in the elimin-
alton games, including three made
UP entirely of sailors from the Pasco
port. This part of the program will
undoubtedly prove especially inter
esting to sport fans.
Concessions of every kind are in
charge of the local fire department.,
headed by Carol Pratt. He has lso
secured the services of a carnival
company, which will come and set
up here next Wednesday, running
through the Fourth.
Other details are being worked out
and a right good celebration looms
in spite of the lack of fireworks and
the rodeo. HI

USO Quota Increased

The Benton county quota in the
forthcoming U.S.O. drive is $3.50,
OF which kennewlck has been
allocated $500. This is a substan-
tial increase over last years quota
and the committee is anxious 10
secure the cooperation of everyone
in raising this sum.
The U.S.O. has proven its worth
TO those men in the service. Your
financial assistance 10 the U.S.O.
is but a small sacrifice which will
in some way help a friend enjoy
recreation which might otherwise
be denied. The committee is ask
ing that you do what you can TO
help.

not include those who have joined

Decry Apathy of
Civilian Defense
Preparations p
Mayor and coordinator
catch it because of
citizens shortcomings

The apathy of the local civilian
defense unit is appalling, Mayor Al
fred Anon and Coordination Asa
Puruy were told in Spokane yester-
day, where they were summoned to
a district meeting of similar officers
from this area.
War dangers are very real, federal
authorities told the local men and
the population should be reused to
the proper precautions to take to
minimize any damage which might
result. Intensified training by air
raid wardens, civilian police and
fire fighters should be started until
every officer was thoroly familiar
with all possible contingencies.
This is especially true in the wheat
farming areas, it was pointed out.
Untold damage could he done by
sabateurs in setting fires to fields
in the next month. -Plowed burrows
around every field as a protection,
with equipment Immediately avail
able for combating fires should be
undertaken on a well organized plan,
the men were told.
Civilian precautions were sadly
according to reports. An
aroused population seems to be the
only possible answer, and the mayor
and coordination confess their in
ability to force people to protect
themselves.
