CIEANING UP AROUND TOWN

Maybe it is an untrue statement,
but as a rule it is indicative of con-
ditions, that when you see an un-
tidy, careless looking yard and
house, that family which lives with
in it are careless and untidy. We
judge the jewellers by the appear
Rnce of their dwelling, which is
perhaps natural. We come into that
season of the year in Kennewick
when all should be trying to clean
up and tidy up their town. It won't
cost us much except in time and
energy and the effect is well worth
the effort involved. Gardens are be-
ing planted, flower beds prepared,
fences made, bushes and trees trim
med and storage spots cleaned out
and waste disposed of. Everyone
who considers his house a home and
loves it, wants to create an atnos-
phere of cleanliness and attractive
ness about. So does each street take
on tine beauty that goes with the
JOY of living in a small town in the

To us the outstanding feature Of
the war is the extent to which JOS
eph Stain fooled everyone without
apparently trying to do so. The wise
commentators told us for a year
before Germany attacked Russia
that Russia couldn't fight a big war.
They pointed out that the leader
ship was incapable of handling sue
cessfully a big offensive. We even
heard talks made by those who tour
ed the country on foot, and accord
ing to their own admission saw the
very inside of Russia, say that all
these things were true. The attack
on Russia by Germany was a sur
prise attack yet no foe that Ger
many has met has given Hitler the
battle that so called unprepared, in
efficient Russia has given him. We
would be interested in seeing what
Russia would have done to Ger
many had she really been prepared.
