COLLEGES CARRY ON

The first full year of instruc-
ton in the countryss schools and
colleges has come to an end and
we see youth exchanging campus
togs for military regalia in many
cases. They are handed their
sheepskins and their commissions
as they leave the classroom to
enter a changed world. There have
ben many discussions during the
winter in regard to the altered
courses of study under the war
emergency program, of the quick
ened pace of study, shortening the
lines of study and through more
concentrated work. Many colleges
have offered war courses and the
college campus has been abloom
with uniforms of various branches
of the service. Physical education
has been heavily stressed in most
institutions and certain colleges

Congress became so aroused
over the matter of strikes in war
industries during the duration that
a drastic antistrike bill was passed.
The action of congress represents
the sentiment of the greater part
of the people of the country to-
day. People are not concerned
over the petty trifles of a few
cents an hour in wages or arbi-
trary working rules. They are
concerned with winning the war
and everything else is secondary to
that. The men whose sons are
fighting on the battlefields are not
inclined to mince words or actions
when a group back home in safety
and security lay down on the job
The fact that an antistrike biz
was even necessary is a reproact
upon those whose actions inspired
its passage. -e-

THE FOURTH TO-DAY

Perhaps it was a bit different
how we celebrated the Fouth OF
July. A lot of messages were
brought to the public from plat
forms of oratory, many campaign
speeches were furthered from
stands festooned with bunting,
freedom cited in heroic epics from
Concord through CornWall1s,
school children squirming as the
ceremony went past comfortable
Sitting time. Whether the mean
ing of the Fourth dealt with our
struggle for political independence,
as it originally stood back in 1776,
or whether the Fourth signified
that the human race should be free
and not slave, made the event
enough for remembering. Then
independence Day was a fire
cracker holiday with all the trim
mings. There will still be the
speakers who will draw number
of listeners, still oratory reguard-
ing the necessity of unity for a
united people in a United States
among United Nations. True lib
erty-1oving people will continue
to pursue their right to happiness
even though gas rationing may
keep them from attending a Fourth
of July celebration. They may not
be observing the holiday this year,
sticking to their drills and lathes
as the factories cry hurrah by
turning out weapons that are used
to make independence a certainty.
Maybe the yearly 4th of July
picnic has been called off because
the automobile has gone to
war-and so have, many of the
drivers. But what of it, this cur
tailment of picnics, lack of public
speech-making, restriction Of cars
on the highway? In the hearts OF
all of us, stamped in letters of red,
white and blue, sounding notes as
loud as firecrackers, soaring in
spirit as high as clouds over Ba-
tam and Corregidor, floundering
victorious trhu jungle mud, writ
ing in blood, still beats the cry,
throubs the urgent plea of liberty
for all, unity and no substitutes.
This is the way today we cele-
brate the Glorious Fourth, and
deeper imbedded in all of us the
the reverence for what this day
stands. ,rss.zs. ss..F = ag 70 :es--

FAULT FINDING

A Kennewick man says one
good reason if no other, for keep
ing busy, is that there isn't so much
time for finding fault with folks
and perhaps. he has something
there! No matter how sweet the
disposition we are most apt to
pass criticism upon the nature,
bringing up. education, habits,
and purse of our fellow-men. With
not so much spare time we have
to curb our judgment and since
fault finding is trait found in
most all of us, there is heap of
criticizing going on around about.
Few of us have a good answer for
what business it is Of ours what
the other fellow does or has. What
we find as closeness in one we
are liable to criticize in another
as being a spendthrift, one per-
son is selfish and bigoted and an
other is wasting himself on others
and another is too free thinking.
There is a long list of faults we
have found. And I'VE seem to be
continually adding to it. Maybe
keeping busy will help to make
us more charitable and surely
this is blessing enough to keeI
idle hands and minds occupied.

SMALL BUSINESS

Going deeper into war manufac-
ture we have had a better under
standing of the three fields that
have been prospecting, such as la
Dor, agriculture and large industry,
some mildly and some wildly. But
consider the small business, har-
messed by increased tax, bound
with regulations and restraining
orders, having difficulty keeping
help because of higher wages in
factories, difficulty in securing
supplies, struggling to get gov
eminent contracts when able to
produce the goods. This is an
other one of the concerns for our
consideration. This country can't
afford to have its small, indie
pendent business houses closing.
We need small business to keep
our monopolies in tow. They must
hold. -..,. 49,. ...s -

The disastrous spring floods
again remind this nation Of its
profligate folly of cutting the tim
Der from its watersheds and its
failure to provide flood water res
ervoirs along its feeder streams of
its main rivers. Enough money
has been spent building dikes and
levees and dredging river cham
nels to effectively care, several
times over, for flood waters at
at their source, along small feeder
streams Timber has been cut
down to the waters edge in many
places resulting in maximum run
off of rainfall, though it is well
known fact that the run off in
timbered areas is negligible. Ma
ture has a way of making us pay
for our follies. Nature can't stop
us from cutting timber, straight
ening streams, building too close
to the river channel, or in fail
ing to care for flood waters at
their source, but she can make
us pay for it when we do-and
each year she does, and each year
we cry about the damage and
the loss and then 60 heedlessly on
in our way of error inviting dis

wear us out and in the end have
her own way as she has had since
