TWO BIRTHDAYS

August 18th is the birthday of
the Panama Canal while August
ii is the anniversary of the At
lantic Charter and both signifi-
can't dates. The Panama Canal
links the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans as the Atlantic Charter
hopes to link the countries on both
oceans in an understanding OF
benefit to all. The Panama Canal
was a 4oO-year-old dream that
became a reality. The Charter is
the dream always, however the
wording or the name, of men who
have lived through wars and de-
sire peace. The Panama Canal Is
considered a vital spot in the pres
ervation of the nation while the
Atlantic Charter suggests a way
to preserve world. The -Four
Freedoms are still but one free
dom with four names. There were
idealists who dreamed a dream
where they thought in terms OF
such an engineering feat that
boats would not have to sail
around Cape Horn in order to GO
from ocean to ocean. So is man
named an idealist perhaps as he
hopes for world brotherhood, an
understanding, a belief that peace
is possible for free men.

We believe the thousands of
men and women who are serving
on local rationing boards through
out the country are entitled to
more than passing recognition.
They are serving at considerable
sacrifice with no pay and little
thanks. With the majority of peo-
pie who are willing to cooperate
with the rationing program they
have no difficulty. 1t is pleasure
to serve them. The trouble comes
from the unreasonable non-coop-
erative minority. Those who are
going to have all the tires, or all
the gasoline, or all the fuel oil
they want, regardless. These are
the ones who 60 out and berate
the rationing boards and accuse
them of unfairness, partially, and
unwillingness to accommodate. It
is because of this class of people
that rationing is necessary. They
are the ones, who, if unrestrained,
would rush in and grab the avail
able supply whether there was
anything left for anyone else or
not. They are the ones who at
tempt to influence tire inspectors
to make untrue examinations OF
their tires that they may get a
better tire, or more tires than
their share. They are the ones who
plan and scheme to beat the tire
rationing program by bludgoning
the board members behind their
back. Fortunately for the ration
ing program and the fair and just
and honest people of the country
this class is in the great minority
There is only a few of such in each
community.

OUR MEXICAN NEIGHBOR

We have not stressed so much in
the press, the good neighbor policy
from the Mexican side of our
international fence. Pan Ameri-
canism is not only South Ameri-
canism, for Mexico is a real part
of the policy through her neigh
borliness. We can't know defin-
itely what amount of metal, ma
hogany, hemp, mercury and rub
Der we are receiving from across
the border but we have been
shipped enough to mean restric-
tons and limitations as a con-
sequence upon the Mexicans
themselves. They are helping us
to carry on. the war although they
have not found the people of that
country enthused over participant
ing in the battle from the stand
point of army. They have declar-
ed war as matter of principle but
since only six out of ten MeXicans
can read enough to know what
this war is all about, since labor
in many cases work from sunrise
to sunset for a bare living OF
pinto beans and parched corn
you can see why the Indian has
MT become especially aroused over
European conditions. But there is
determination on the part OF
many of those neighbors to be
partner with the Allies in fight
ing this war. .

THE RIGHT TO VOTE

They raise the question OF
whether eighteen-year-old youths
common enough answer has been
common enoght answer has been
eff they are old enough to fight
they are old enough to vote" This
may be logical though we do feel
that eighteen is still in the young
ster class. Voting may often be
conducted like child's play and
the candidates have acted far from
grown up in their campaigning
and previous political life, but we
still associate the ritual of ballot
casting as an adult responsibility.
But let the youths themselves de-
eide. So a survey was made in
1000 high schools with over 85
thousand students taking part, and
the Institute of Public Opinions
found that SO per cent were OPP
posed to eighteen-year-oldS voting!
There were varied reasons given
by the students for not favoring
the early voting age and the rea-
sons themselves go to show. that
these youngsters are not without
good heads and are perhaps far
more mature in thought than the
oldsters have given them credit
for being. For instance, "Boys of
Is do not fully understand polite
al and economic AFFAIRS" sounds
sensible. "Eighteen-year-olds have
neither the mental ability nor ex-
perience to vote honestly and in
telligently," or this, "Boys and
girls of 19 are too preoccupied with
frivoities," gives pause for thot
on our part concerning the mental
processes of these children. They
are giving more attention to the
subject of voting than some adults
i'm Kennewick who have been able
to vote for years.

Time was when the editor of a
weekly paper was the member OF
the force who merely opened the
mail, met those who came into
the office to visit and wrote the
pay checks Saturday that the
force without much difficulty get
out the paper, without the editor,
but since due to the flight OF
country printers to the defense
plants, the armed forces, and the
big city shops, the editor has add
ed the duties of janitor, linotype
operator pressman and devil to
his other duties, and the paper
just can't be gotten out without
him.

The 24-inch section of the Big
Inch oil pipe line extends from
Long View, Texas, to Phoenixville,
Pennsylvania. Here the line di-
vides into two 20 inch sections one
of which goes to refineries at
Chester, Pennsylvania, and the
other to. refineries at Linden,
New jersey. The line is 1475 miles
long across nine states and cost
over $1OO,0OO,00O. 1t was built in
$50 days by 1900 men. 1t is ex-

Congressman Engle of Michigan
has asked for an investigation of
wages paid in war production
plants. AS the result of survey
of forty-seven plants some start
ling revelations were made. He
found that in one plant assemblers
of machine guns, not considered
skilled labor, received wages of
1874 yearly. BY contrast Lieut..
Gen. v. H. Somervel, chief of the
Army Service of Supply, is paid
$500 a year. In number of
plants it was found girl workers
were paid as high as $500 for
work any woman of intelligence
and skill could do. And Washing
ton wonders why it is difficult to
keep initiation down.

This question was asked the
editor of a self help column on a
matter of a man and his wife
getting along together. Admitting
that marriage should be a fifty
fifty matter based on truth and
honesty and cooperation, should
the husband take his wife's purse
from the hip pocket of her Stacks
and count out her half of the pay
check or should he run the risk
of tempting her to be dishonest
by allowing her to count out his
share.

In our opinion the Casablanca
conference ultimatum of uncon-
ditional surrender was the shrewd-
est piece of strategy that has been
shown by either the Allies or Axis.
Given at the time that it was, it
shut off completely any half way
peace offers by the Axis. They
know that there is only one offer
they can observation-disclosures sur
render. It relieves the Allies from
being put in the position of turn
ing down any half way offers that
would stop the Allies at the Axis
borders and leave Germany un-
touched by the war as she was at
the end of World War l.. This
time the job will be finished.
