100000 Parade in New York

lmendous demonstration of the
nations will 10 win.
The parade was more than twice
as big as any ever held here. The
fighting men and the men and
women from the factories and
behind the front organizations
stepped briskly through miles OF
close packed spectators estimated
at more than 100000.
There were jeepS and tanks and
field guns on the ground and flying
fortresses, pursuit ships and Gid
lers overhead.
From stands along the line,
IbruadcaSterS sent the stirring
story in seven languages around
the world.
Floats told the tale Of what
New York and the entire nation
had pledged as a fight TO the
finish. There was a hoarse hum
for revenge when NaZi brutality
was depicted and an almost eerie
hush resulted when a figure-Mrs.
Colin Kelly Jr.-robed in black
and carrying single flower,
walked by.
In the reviewing stand the great
of half a dozen of the United Ma
tions saluted the swirling banners
of the Allies. Among the digni-
taries were King George of Greece
and his premier, Emanuel Tsou-
deroS; President Manuel Quezon
of the Philippines, the Duchess OF
Windsor, Crown Princess Martha
of Norway. the Grand Duchess and
Prince Felix of Luxembourg, Vice
President Henry A. Wallace and
Gov. Herbert II. Lehman.
In addition 20 its size, the parade
established other precedents. 1t
was the first time West Pointers
had marched in khaki outside of
their own grounds. Police for the
first time had TO report collision
between an automobile and a tank.
The automobile got the worst of it.

Under the state law mattresses can
be worked but 48 hours a week, even
though they might want to get in

week the restaurant will require two
complete crews each week. And with
the extra 18 hours on Sunday, it
would require almost three COM

Benton County Has
More than 500 Men
i'm Armed Forces
26 more leave today to
enter service; occupa-
ton only exemption

Twenty-six Benton county men
left today for Tacoma induction sta
ton and for final exams, according
10 report just released by the Sec
rotary of the local selective service
board. OF this number eight were
from Kennewick. They were: Walter
otte, Clifford Elder. Donald Aman,
Clarence Knight, Truman Selph,
Alvin Zachow, Paul Lampson, VIII
liam F. Martin.
Five men from Richland were in
cluded in today's call: Edwin Mil
Ter, Fred Foltz, Warren Supplee,
Charles Nelson and Herman, De-
brick. Three from White Bluffs:
Ronald Ralston, Reuben Wagner
and Walter Grisham. One each from
Hanford, Benton City and Kiona
We're included: Harry Hadley, Ed
win Flett and John Graham.
Following their examinations.
these men win be returned, home ON
a two-week's furlough and then be
recalled 10 camp.
With the new setup on dependency
the board announces, the only pos.
sible reason for deferrment for any
man registered is occupation. Any
single man with dependents and
men with wives, now listed in cat
agories two and three respectively
should be prepared 10 enter the arm
ed services within the next two or
three months.
Any registrant desiring to enlist
should do so as soon as convenient
for him. This saves the time Of the
local physicians who are donating
their services and saves time in the
local board offices in preparing the
quota for each months call. It also
makes it more probable that the reg
istrant will be given a release when
he wants to enlist.
AS the rules stand at the present
time, orders TO report for induction
are mailed as soon as the cali Is re-
ceived by the local board and re-
leases are not to be granted to q
registrant after he has received his
order TO report. This means that II
a registrant wants to enlist in some
branch Of the armed forces, he
should do so as soon as the local
board gets close TO his order number.
Registrars can find out at the To-
cal office where they stand in or
der number at any time.
More than five hundred men from
Benton county are already in the
armed forces In one branch or an
other. This does not include those
who are engaged in defense work.
