.Guerin Winner
On Brown Bomb
For New Owner
Horse Claimed From
Own Stable; Rides
3 Winners at Track
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

When Oliver Eric Guerin, the
17-year-old apprentice rider from
Maringouin, La, brought 10-year-
old Brown Bomb from behind in
the stretch to win the seventh
race at the Detroit Race Track
yesterday afternoon. he wrote an
other chapter in the book OF
craftsmanship for himself and his
boss, Johnny Theall, trainer of the
stable of Joe w. Brown of New
Orleans.
Just 10 days ago Brown Bomb.
the aged gelding who favors turf
and long distance races, was
claimed away from the Brown
stable, which has owned him since
he was a yearling.
The old horse was led away to
the stable of Buck Ecknan Of De-
troit, who had dropped $1,250 in
the claiming box.
The Brown stable wasn't very
happy about losing Brown Bomb.
even though the claiming price
probably represented a good value
for a horse which is on or near
his last legs.
FOR NEW OWNER
Yesterday Eckman started
Brown Bomb in his colors for the
first time, entered him in run OF
a mile and 20 yards with some
much younger horses.
L. w. Johnson, the Eckman
trainer, came around to the stable
agent and hired Guerin to ride
Brown Bomb, former pet of the
stable. Guerin had ridden the old
fellow in all of his recent races.
knows just how 10 handle him.
Many a trainer might have re-
sented any such request. But
Theall gave his consent. Many a
jockey might. have done just a
little less than his best, too. But
not Eric Guerin.
The little Louisiana Frenchman
rode a perfect race on his old
friend for the new owner. He
trailed the field with Brown Bomb
TO the three-eighths pole, then
brought him around the field to-
catch Singing Heels and Flying
Hostess, the leaders in the stretch.
Not another rider on the grounds
could have done it. but Guerin got
the old fellow home by more than
length over Singing Heels. with
Flying Hostess another length and
half back for third money.
BAGS A TRIPLE
Guerin made it a very success
full day for Eckman. who used TO
send out many a winner at Wind

down he was completing a double

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK

National Newspaper Week is cele-
brated this year from October 1-8
the appropriate slogan for the event
being 1.-The Newspapers Go All Out
for Victory" It is the purpose Cd
the newspapers at this time, to fur
ther activities toward the sale OF
war bonds and stamps during their
week of celebration. So the press
stresses not only various promotional
thoughts during this week, of the
freedom of the press, but points out
innumerable privileges enjoyed by a
free people otherwise. We are most
fortunate that today the press be-
longs to the people. There is always
a danger of losing this freedom
through fear, however fear imposed
upon people and not through CO.
ercion by government to restrain
it, is lost press. E
, There has always been criticism
heaped upon newspapers which it
expects, and quite frequently de-
serves The idea that our nations
newspapers are ruled and influenced
by outside business interests, is un-
true. There must be an understand
ing and cooperation between the
reader, the publisher and the adver-
tiser. The advertiser is part of the
set-up, but there are few
of them who attempt to dictate the
policy of the paper, in spite of tine
statements that this is widely the
policy. There are other complaints,
including the one about politics run
ming the sheet and another about
debating issues for pub
lie consumption. But in all Of this
here is usually exposure and de-
1unciation enough to put a stop to
he process. 1
We must maintain our freedom of
he press by guarding it carefully
rom fear-wrapped hands. We must
lid and abet the newspaper in its
urtherance of National Newspaper |
Week because they carry nations
logan as well as a newspaper ban

reserve rights of free people, free
eaders of a free press. .>-- I

Last week Mr.. Mason gave a talk
on salvage before the local KiWanis
club. His remarks were not criti-
cism directed against anyone other
than old General Apathy himself.
MIR. Mason tried to point out-and
we tried to express in the story con-
corning it-that there was and still
is, a lot of scrap material lying UNI
used about the district. The scrap
is desperately needed in the mills
and it's just as much the business
of the owner to see that it gets into
the proper channels as it is, the
business of the salvage committee
or any committee for that matter.
Municipal authorities are willing
to do all in their power to help, but
first there must be some sort of
action on the part of the individual.
This is a serious matter, although
there seems to be many who are
taking it as a matter of course.
Every bit of scrap metal must be
salvaged for the war effort. If it
is going to require a definite, in
escapable order to get it, perhaps
that, too, will eventually develop.
Anyway. the scrap must be gathered
for the war effort and the sooner It
is in use the. shorter the conflict
will he. - .5->..

FIRE PREVENTION

BY presidential proclamation we
are asked to promote Fire Proven
tion Week, October 40. There is
never a time when fire isn't danger
GUS and since two-thirds of our fire
deaths occur in dwellings, it is wise
that we save our pennies from going
up in smoke. There is often the sit
uation in homes of large piles of
old paper and rubbish, faulty wiring
and many other reasons that fire
gets good start. This year finds
the country preparing to defend it
self from another kind of fire, the
incendary bombs. This is an added
danger that needs training in know
ing how to handle the bombs. At
war, we should consider what fires
mean especially at this time. 1t
means loss of materials, a loss in
lives, loss in time (which all adds
UP to impeding defense progress.
We must protect our resources
against fire. With the shortage of
of replacing needs within
the home due to war economy, re-
pair and rebuilding are dangers in
themselves since industry probably
can't supply the demand anyhow.
One week won't train us in wis
dom here in Kennewick with regard
to fire control but it helps to re-
mind us that one-fourth of all the
nations fires are preventable. The
responsibility rests upon us.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1942-10-01

Today, more than ever, leadership
is needed in this nation. The prob
lens that face the nation, both now,
and after the war, are too big, too
varied, and too complicated for any
one individual to handle. The sue
cess of our prosecution of the war
will depend upon the wisdom of our
leadership. The handling of the
postwar problems is going to require
even more expert leadership, clearer
and straighter thinking, and wiser
Judgment and decision, if we are
going to preserve for the future the
things secured by this war, at a
great price. The responsibility is
going to be ours. We cannot evade
it. To do so would be Sinking a
responsibility that this nation should
not seek to evade. Whatever the post
war world is for the next hundred
years is going to be up to America
and its leaders. : ;.
