NIGHTMARES PERMITTED

Mother Goose would never rec
ognize the modern counterpart of
her legendary baker. War and
rationing have made the art of
breadbaking a complicated pro-
cedure bristling with official di-
receives and penalties.
According to the Associated
Bakers of Southern California,
these are a few of the current bak-
ing dicta: "No longer can a baker
insert coupons redeemable for
theater tickets or premiums in
side the wrapper Nor is he al
lowed to give away bread as prizes
in radio programs or to successful
bidders for war bonds. A baker
is not permitted to accept return of
moldy produce. -. He may pan
more than one piece of dough to
a load if the pieces are not twisted
together or placed in the pan at
right angles to the length of the
pan. 49,. 1s
another restriction limits the
number of varieties of machine
nodded bread to six for wholesale
bakers. =. Two loaves of bread
made from the same formula and
the same type, weight and shape,
but sliced to different thickness,
are considered as two varieties"
The bakers, like other merch-
andizers who handle the things we
eat and wear, are trying to live
through an orgy of regulation
without complete disruption of the
distribution system. So far no
attempt has been made to ration
nightmares.

AS THEY FIGURE IT

The war to be over by Christ
mas, said some. The war to be
over by the New Year, said 9TH
ers. There are those who insist
upon an early spring settlement
and you haven't forgotten those
folks who way back yonder in
sisted that Germany couldn't fight
a war because she couldn't fl
nance one! You might call off the
prognosticators for an early peace
and say they are optimists hopeful
in wishing. We are learning that
those who thought Germany would
be all washed up Gin a few weeks"
were mistaken and that the ones
who predicted that Germany had
collapsed within months ago, were
wrong as time has proven. There
are hopeful signs that all is not
well in Germany through our re-
peated bombings, but the foe con-
tinues to fight. Though there may
be a weakening the battle is not
won for us. Take the guesses of
a few foreign correspondents who
were right on the job, closer to
the actual scenes than are we,
and you will find that there is
plenty of heavy fighting ahead.
A correspondent in India predicts
Germany will fall in the summer
of 1914 and Japan in 1916 if we are
lucky! From London a brighter
view of peace by the spring of
1914, but not with Japan. From
Cairo comes correspondents
guess of the early summer of "a
and from Switzerland the autumn
of that year. Moscow correspond
ent suggests late in 1914 and from
Honolulu there is no prediction
for Germany but that it will take
from three to six years to defeat

One traveller recently out OF
Germany predicts that gas will
not be used by Germany in the
very near future for the reason
that the people of German cities
have no gas masks. The prom
ised retaliation should Germany
use gas would wipe out the entire
civilian population and Germany
must have the civilian population
to carry on the war.

If General Patton should be re-

Every now and then we hear
someone on the street wishing the
town could drop back to where
it was before the war activity be-
gan-when everyone knew every
one he met on the street and when
the bee wasn't quite so hot quite
so continuously. We can't agree
with them. Anyway, we think
that time will never come. We
think that Kennewick is as small
now as it will ever be and that
the trend will be bigger and better.
It's true we know but half the
people we meet on the streets,
and we see them but once or twice
and new faces take their places.
But that's bound to be true in any
place that's growing. And we
look to see Kennewick become
the big little town we have always
been sure it would be. We think
that. just as soon as war conditions
permit, Kennewick will become
the industrial city the old timers
have long been positive it would
some day be. We know that many
industries in the East have their
plans to come west as soon as il
is possible. Eastern Washington,
with its many advantages, is al.
ready known to many of them
Some will undoubtedly come here
The construction of the high line
canal will do the job, even with
out important industrial develop.

Z After one years trial of the
pay-as-you-go income tax law, we
are ready for the federal sales

better than the present pay-as-

of these correspondents, but here
in Kennewick we should mentally
conduct our war as something to
be done today, and pray for an
early peace.

she wanted to see France and
the continent again. Just before
her ship locked al lie Havre
the news came that Hitler had
marched into Poland.
Mimi attempted TO return 10
America Immediately but with
the war on her visa was can
celled. There followed an entire
year in which she was trying TO
flee Europe but couldn't get
passport releases or passages.
She moved from one capital
10 another. She fled Antwerp
when the Luftwaffe was pound
ing the railway station and the
train she was on.
In Brussels she got out of the
city while the NaziS were in the
outskirts and had moved up
heavy artillery to shell the city.
She huddled in a Paris cellar
while German bombers scared
overhead.
Just one year after the war
started she managed passage on
a small refugee ship that slipped
its moorings without light and
spent two days picking its way
through mine fields of the Eng
