The following story concerning the
tragic death of Mrs. Mona Monroe's
son was printed in the Okanogar
Independent last week:
Okanogan folks were shocked and
sorrowed Saturday gmorning by the
arrival of the news of their first
casualty of the war announcing that
Leading Aircraftsman Sterling T
Monroe, Jr, had crashed with his
plane 80 miles from the home base
at Claresholm, Alta, at 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon of the day before
Christmas. The young flyer had left
the Claresholm field an hour earlier
and was on a routine flight. He
had finished his flying course with
the Royal Canadian Air Force and

wings Dec. %. ....- .: .=.... ~
Sgt. Pilot Harold and Mrs. Wat
son, with Mrs. Monroe and four
year-old son Tommy, accompanied
the body of young Sterling to Okla

Mrs Monroe, the two men having
enlisted in RCAF at Vancouver on
the same day, and the families had
been close friends all during their
training courses. - q
Details of the accident, according
to military practices, are not fully
announced, Watson says.
At the station at Mcleod, upon
departure from Canada, Sterling
was given military honors with field
procession and his son Tommy was
presented the wings his father had
won. Presentation was made by
Squadron Leader Atkinson of the
Royal Air Force.
Sterling Thomas Monroe, Jr., was
born June 4, 1918, at Nome, Alaska,
while his father was in military
service there. When a small boy
he came to Okanogan with his par

until graduating from high school.
He attended the University of Wash

Local Business

The war has claimed another
Kennewick business institution.
Announcement is made this week
of the closing of the Lady Lure for
the duration.
Mrs. Lou Miller, who has run the
exclusive lady's apparel store for
the past II years, will close her store,
for the duration, at least, as soon as
she can dispose of her stock of
merchandise. She says the uncer-
tainty of securing stocks is the rea-
son for her closing at this time.
Statesmen give absolutely no promise
of goods in her line from the middle

The store will be closed, Mrs.
Miller announces on Friday and
Saturday to arrange for the sale,
which will open Monday morning.
She plans to sell out completely,
even to the fixtures. ~

Petition Filed

poStponement of legal
action for duration

A PUD condemnation suit in Ben

county public utility district by a
group Of representative farmers and
businessmen Of the county who ask
PUD commissioners to reconsider a
November proposal to start imme-
date court action.
PUD commissioners are asked to
postpone a contemplated condemna-
ton action for the duration OF the
war.
Filing Of the letter at the PUD Of
flee in Prosser Tuesday followed an
oral plea made by the group Of Ken

Text of the letter follows:
To the Commissioners Of Benton
County Public Utility District
Gentlemen:
This committee of citizens and
taxpayers met with your board Tues
day, Dec. Is, and discussed with you
the advisability of starting condem-
nation proceedings against the Pa
cific Power a. Light Company at the
present time. We wish to go on
record against any condemnation
proceedings being started now, or for
the duration of the war, for the
following reasons:
At present, and until the war is
won, We feel that everything we
have-time, energy and money
should be devoted to one purpose
successful and early conclusion Of
the war. Any undertaking that is
not directly connected with that
effort should be postponed for the
duration. We cannot see where the
proposed condemnation proceedings
will, in any way, help win the war.
On the other hand, 1t will require
man hours, money and energy that
could be better devoted to direct
war work.
Our government is constantly
pointing out TO all Of us the neces-
sity of an 'all out" war effort and
discouraging, even prohibiting. any
undertaking that is not essential to
the war program.
Our boys in the service are giving
their all and many will sacrifice
their lives for the one purpoSe-to
win the war and as soon as possible.
We do not believe they would take
slime out" TO do anything that could
be put off until they have accomp-
lished that purpose.
We, too, have our job to do here
at home. We cannot take time
out" to stttle a dispute between pri-
vate and public power interests. II
we do, then when our boys come
home, We may find it embarrassing
to explain why.
The value of the property during
this time Of emergency would be
considerably higher than it would
be under normal conditions.
If money is available, we suggest
it be used to purchase War Bonds
instead of attorney and engineering
fees and court costs.
Respectfully submitted for your
consideration.
