Aroused Citize,lry Calls for
Complete About War Effort

ed us. America is just getting un-
derway insofar as the limit of her
ability is concerned. Can we get into
full production in time to meet the
about attempt at conquest of our
enemies announced for 1892 We
must face the fact that Japan, with
little over one-haf of our popula-
ton, is putting more man hours OF
labor into war effort than we are in
this, the greatest industrial nation
on earth.
''The time when we will change
from defensive to offensive action,
and thus to success, depends upon
how fast we can produce. Obviously
then, the amount of material dam
age we. shall suffer and the num-
Der of lives lost also depends on
speed in construction.
"Are we not then, as citizens, to
be held accountable for those lives
lost and property destroyed If we
contribute in any way to prolonga-
ton of war beyond the point where
it could have been won by all out
effort?
Should we not then bolster the
morale of our men in the service
with the positive proof that we fully
appreciate what they are doing for
us and are going to reciprocate by
seeing to 1t that they are not handi-
capped in their efforts?
'Can we not then encourage
the mothers, fathers and friends of
these men with the assurance that
they will not be called upon to sac
rifice their lives needlesSly because
we have been lax in supplying them
with necessary equipment to do the
job quickly?
I'VE believe that our leaders
could eliminate the things that are
delaying production If they had the
courage and will to do so, and We
further believe that either this must

The service and the defense plants
are calling many young men away
from the small home town COM
muniities throughout the country.
There are left in all of these COM
munities the older persons whose
situation is such that they can't
uproot themselves and move over
night to a new field. They are too
old for the service and too old and
lack training for a place in a defense
plant. They must remain where
they are, at home, in the small towns
and the county seat towns of the
country. 1T will be their task to hold
together the home base that those
who have gone out in the service of
the country in its various fields will
have a home base to which to an
Choir during this interlude. 1t is
important that the home base con-
serve as far as possible its substance
in these trying times that it may es-
cape as far as possible the impact
of the war. One of the best means
of protection is the spending of
money at home. It may seem like a
little thing, but it isn't. Like a blood
transmission it will give strength to
the home community in its uneven
fight to survive in a disordered and
an unreal time. When we think Of
sending our money away to another
city lets think of it as depriving our
own home base of, just that much
of its life blood. Lets stand by the
home base in its time of greatest
need.

Those who think that the rubber
shortage isn't real and feel that
there will be found some way out
whereby tires will be forth coming
to all who want them are due for a
rude awakening. The only way a
car owner can assure himself of
tires for any length of time is to
take good care of the tires he has
and make them last as long as he
can. Some of the means suggested
for saving or conserving tires are:
Drive slower, change tires about on
the car giving the spare turn on
one Of the wheels. Never put on the
brake and slide a tire. Refrain from
dumping into the curb. Keep tires
properly inflated. Keep oil off the
tires. These precautions, tire men
say, will add many miles to the life
of tires.

Spring Is just around the corner,
and while spring suggests house
cleaning and income tax and other
unpleasant but necessary things 1T
also suggests gardening time. This
year the indications already are that
there Is going to be more gardens
than usual put out. The food pro-
gram calls for the production of all
food possible for ourselves, our army
and our allies. In addition to this
what can be finer than a good gar
den furnishing an abundance Of
good, wholesome vegetables to he
eaten fresh or canned for the win
ter. 1T is type of boarding that

Aroused by reports given by large
numbers of men from Okanogan
county, who are working in defense
industries that they are not permit
ted to work to their capacity, and
that this country is not getting all
out production, all of the organiza-
tons in Omak have united i'm form
ing a Community Council to stir
up public sentiment against the re-
tarding of production. b. T. --.
Following a series Of conferences
at which there was unanimous opin-
ion, representatives from Is Omak
religious, service and civic organiza-
lions in the Community Council
named a committee of five to draft
a plan of action. ..--
Today the committee, composed of
E. d. Clough, Earl K. Nansen, Frank
S. Emert. w. II. Price and Joseph
Wicks, working together with F. r.
Hendricks, president of the Com
munity Council, issued the follow
ing statement: H.. -.
"Omak, like thousands Of other
communities throughout the land,
is alarmed over the defeats that
have thus far come to the allied
forces, largely because of the lack of
sufficient equipment.
Twelve percent of Okanogan
county's population has left this
country and gone into the defense
industries. These workers are pa
triotic citizens and almost without
exception they state that they could

were permitted to do so. !

Time proves many things. It has
already proven that the pipe Line to
convey oil to the east coast as urged
by Secretary Ickes was not, after all,
a wild dream. The submarine raids
on the coast line tankers already
threaten the supply of petroleum
products for the east. The railroads
may be called upon to make good
the claim that they could keep the
east supplied with petroleum pro-
ducts by means of tank cars.

of dealing with such a situation

Our guess is that in spite OF the
repeated assurance of the Vichy
government that the French fleet
will not be turned over to Hitler, he
will get the fleet whenever he wants
it. Nothing but wiSnful thinking
would cause anyone to think diff
ferently. The Vicl1y government is
under the thumb of Hitler and help
less to resist any demand he might
make. If England can't sieze the
Vichy fleet she should sink it.

No patriotic individual should expect

1t is difficult to believe at a time
when thousands of our finest young
men have given up their business,
their schools and their country that
there should be anyone in all this
broad land who would stand up and
contend that nothing be done that
would sacrifice any of the so-called

advertising is your staunchest friend

S 3 j = & & E q !. u 4 y Il -.
HERE are ways in which advertising directly
benefits the working man.
Advertising causes MORE EMPLOYMENT In both
material and manufacturing industries by ncreas
ing the volume of units sold
For instance, over 20 years one typical firm added
1920 more employees each year because of the bust
ness brought by aid Of advertising.
Next, advertising aids in the PERh1ANENcE OF
EMPLOYMENT and increases the employees security.
This is because firm which advertises consistently
meets less resistance m the sale of its products 1t is less
apt to faithrowing its employees out of work This
is important because the Life of the average business is
estmated to be only 5 " years.
I Then, advertising HELPS LOWER THE COST OF
THE THINGS YOU BUY.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1942-03-26

You know yourself that it costs much less per
article to make 10000 units than only 100 Thus the
product can be sold cheaper When you buy TIT costs
lessyour money goes farther you can improve your
standard of ving-have electric refrigerator wash
ing machine and other things.
That's three great contributions which Advertising
makes to labor. More employment permanenoe
to employment better value for your money andmore
money to spend.
WHAT TO DO
Tell your friends about this-boW Important
advertising is to labor
Then patronize the firms which advertise You can
be pretty that consistent advertiser is giving you
full value in quality, service and price.

Cooperate reporter. "They are all
doing an excellent job, and we
want to get this controversy

Ernie Walker Dismissed
An action apparently related to
the auxiliary firemen's protest is
the dismissal of Ernie Walker
from the Greenbelt Police force.
Mr.. Walker had trained the aux
iliary firemen and had supported
their position on questions of
equipment and status. Safety
Director Panagoulis confirmed the
news of ris dismissal, and said
that the action was taken Thurs
day, the day after the blackout.
Mr.. Panagoulis, however, would
make no statement as to who
ordered the dismissal or what the
reasons were. He referred a
Cooperator reporter to Town Man
ager Roy S. Draden. Mr.. Braden
said that he had "heard about the
dismissal, but did not know the
Details He added that he always
liked to give department heads
as much independence as possible,
and promised to release a state
ment later if that seemed neces-
sary. Mr.. Rysticken had no COM
ment to make. Mayor Allen D.
Morrison said that the Town
Council had nothing to do with
the dismissal-in fact was legally
barred from having anything to
do with any hiring or firing of
town employees.
Mr.. Walker was quite sure,
though, that his services were
being terminated at the close of
his leave which extends to July 1.

WITH NEEDLE AND THREAD

w "A AN-ADAI &AAND AAANA<AD
A needle and thread can go a
long way in meeting your family's
clothing needs this year. The war
is making heavy demands on all
materials-wools, silks, nylon, in
particular, and on all production
machinery: So before you go far
in your plans for buying clothes,
take careful stock of what you
already have.
Study your entire family's
wardrobe. Decide what it needs
for the coming season. Then check
these needs against the materials
you have on hand, and see what
you yourself can make.
Some Of the things you need
can probably be remade entirely
of things you already have on
hand. Others may require the ad-
dition of small amounts of new
material to trim, alter, and
refinish.
