Arrow Grill Gets
Towns Only "A Card

This week the coveted "a" card
was issued to the Arrow Grill, the
only classification of the kind issued
to an establishment in Kennewick

While most Of the eating ana
drinking places in the towns were
issued their cards last week, the
department held off a few days I'm

sary work had been on order for
some time but the equipment was
slow in arriving.
!. Holders Of the "B" cards may
call for a re-rating at any time
they feel they have qualified for
the higher rating, while holders
of &C" cards must either quality
for a "B" card in six months from
now or be compelled to close-at
least insofar as the serving OF food
or drink is concerned.

Registration for War
Ration Book No. 2
To Begin Soon

The "hottest'' rationing question
at present is the Point Rationing,
says the local rationing board.
For the present, point rationing,
will cover canned, bottled, and froz-
en- fruits and vegetables, juices,
dried fruits, and all soups. The
rationing will begin as soon as pos
sible in February. The books must
first be gotten into the hands OF
the volunteer registrants at the
schools.
There will be a freezing period
on canned goods just as there was
on coffee, before point ration1ng
starts. All food stores must be
given an opportunity to prepart for
the start of rationing. Also the
public must all be registered for
Book No. 2, be notified of the actual
point values, and be given a little
time to study them and budget their
points for the first ration period.
If an item becomes more album
dant or scarce, point values will
change and the public will be mott
fled of this change. The point
values will be the same in every
store regardless of the price OF
trade.
Everyone applying for War Ration
Book No. 2 will be required to fill
out and sign a Consumer Declare

Kennewick Yearly
Income Betters
Three Million
Processing plants are
principal sources of
community income

It takes a good payroll to make
a good town has long been aXio-
matte. That, perhaps, is one of the
main reasons that Kennewick has
been as good a town for its size
as any in the country. Kennewick's
payroll is surprising to one who
has not investigated-way over and
above the figures to be guessed at.
Recently survey was taken Of
the principal employers in the area
and the total amount of their checks
to the growers and in the form Of
payrolls proper is nearly three mil
lion dollars for the past year. The
figures also include the money re-
ceived by Kennewick people who
are employed in Pasco, which
amounts to the staggering total of
some 100000. but does not include
the amounts paid to the regular
employees of the stores and local
retail business institutions.
Of course the principal reason for
Kennewick's success as a town is
due to the fact that it has the long
est growing season of any section
of the state, which combined with
widely diversified crop, produces
an income from the farms through
out every month in the year, as
contrasted with most towns which
have but one harvest period In a
twelve month. w.. a.aH
More than 35 different crops are
shipped from the Kennewick area
in carload lots, while numerous
other crops are raised in smaller
quantities which do not aggregate
CARROT shipments
Principal sources of income for
the Kennewick growers are Church's
Grape Juice plant, the two can
neries, the Big Y warehouse, Pasco
Growers, Twin City Livestock, the
Creamery, Pacific Fruit and the
Power company. =.

the substitute bill would be re-

Witnesses Claim
Rights by Not
Breaking US Laws
Submit reply to letter
published last week;
claim flag respect

Having read the article published
concerning Jehovah's Witnesses in
last weeks paper, we desire to ex-
press the following and ask that the
same be published in fairness to all
concerned.
Jehovat's witnesses are not sect,
but sincere followers of Christ Jesus
who is their leader; therefore they
follow no man.
We are citizens of this nation and
obey all just laws of the nation
which do not conflict with the SUI
preme law of Almighty God.
We as American citizens have our
rights of freedom of speech, worship
and press, etc., as defined in the Bill
of Rights and the 18th Amendment
of the U. S. Constitution. Therefore
we are rightly entitled to the pro-
tecton of the law and this was re-
Gently stated by representative of
Attorney General Biddle over net
work of southern radio stations.
Note, please, that if all the people
of America had the belief and faith
of Jehovah's Witnesses they would
have no fear of other nations but
would be protected by the Supreme
Powers. It is written at Psalms 1912
BLESSED is the nation whose God is
the Lord; and the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance.
The bible states also at Joshua 1914
that the Lord fought for Israel, be-
cause they were his people and put
their trust in Him."
As to the japs and nazis, surely
true citizens of this democracy would
not copy their totalitarian ways of
using force to prevent the worship
of the Most High and the procla-
nation of His New World of Right.
eousness. Surely also vigilante COM
mittees are not required and mob
rule is entirely in opposition to DEM
ocratic principles symbolized by our
flag. Concerning the flag, read our
pledge: ct have pledged my un-
qualified allegiance and devotion to
Jehovah, the Almighty God, and to
his kingdom, for which Jesus COM
mands all Christians to pray. I re-
spect tn flag of the United States
and acknowledge it as symbol OF
freedom and justice to all. pledge
allegiance and obedience to all the
laws of the United States that are
consistent with Gods law as set
forth in the bible"
| This should be sufficient for any
one to see that after all we "wit-
nesses" are respectful to the flag
and that respect is shown by being
law-abiding, not by a mere wave Of
| the arm. Please see the United Press
item in Jan. 20 issue of the Seattle
! Times entitled alag Salute Refusa,
Ok, Says Court" which is appro-
pirate now.
Also note that Jehovah's witnesses
do fight, not in present worldly wars
but in support of freedoms on the
'fhome front" and in advancement
of the Theocratic Government o.
Jehovah God. ~~. '.
Those who are open minded will
not he prejudiced by false report:
concerning our activities and belief!
but will read and find the truth fol
themselves. il

Send the multitude away, that
they may go into the towns and
country round about, and lodge,
and get victuals," said the disciples
to Jesus. He replied, Give ye them
to eat. And they said, We have no
more but five loaves and two fish

and the two fishes, and looking up
to heaven, he blessed them, and
brake, and gave to the disciples to
set before the multitude. And they
did eat, and were all filled: and
there was taken up of fragments
that remained to them twelve bas-
