started with Crispus Attacks, the
first to fall in the Revolution.
The challenge of heroism lies before
each and every one of US. A hero is
anyone displaying great valor or for
titude. Heroism is a height to which
any of US may climb, a path on which
there are no barriers of discrimina-
ton. A brave heart, valiant spirit
and sincere desire to serve others
are all that is needed.
The heroes Of today are the best
we have to offer. They come from all
ranks of society, from all faiths, from
all national backgrounds Thompson,
Kelly, Goldberg and Giardina. They
are not the hard boiled, hard-living
adventures of the swash-buckling
tales of the past, but are fine, clean
living youth with high ideals, firm
faith and great desire to act boldly
for the right.
Today we are face to face with des-
tiny. The need for heroes has never
been greater. Across the pages of
the past echo again Lincoln's words,
with added significance and import in
this Hateful hour: "Fellow citizens,
we cannot escape history. e The
fiery trial through which we pass will
light US down in honor or dishonor
to the latest generation We shall
nobly save or meanly lose the last,
best hope of earth"
Courage is contagious. We can
translate the inspiration of the brav-
cry of both new and storied American
heroes into positive action. No re-
pining, no complaints, just a deter
mination to win this war and to win
it so thoroughly that this time there
will be no Armistice, no mere cessa-
ton Of hostilitics, but Peace on a
firm foundation! This is the least we
can do for our honoured dead

ITALY'S EMPIRE
History of Failures
BY EDGAR r. ROSEN In The Christian
Science Monitor

left Of Italian home front morale
The loss Of Ethiopia, Eritrea anC
SomaliIand must dwindle to insight
icance in the eyes Of a people JUS
becoming aware of the fact that tn,
blunders of its leaders have deprived
Italy of her last foothold on the Afri
can continent.
When the Fascist Grand Council OF
October rs, 1888, declared Libya par
of metropolitan Italy and when Mus
solini informed the world that the pre-.
carious colonial foothold of 25 years
ago had become the Fascist "quarta
sponda," the New Italy beyond the
sea" the Italians took their first ster
on the road to disaster.
The Italian occupation of Libya
recognized by Turkey in the peace
treaty Of Lausanne in 1912, was the
result of Italy's failure in 19th-cen-
fury Imperialism Tunisia had beer
occupied by France, Egypt by Eng
land, and Francesca Crispi's Ethiopian
campaign had ended in a complete
disaster.
But the occupation of the two Turk
ish vilayets Of Tripol and Bengazi
forming Tripolitania and Cyrenaica
did not solve Italy's colonial prob
lem.
The new colony was by no means
easily eXploitable. The country had
to be conquered step by step and the
baroness Of the soil was d tremen-
dous obstacle even to the most mod
crn methods of scientific agriculture
Weather Too Uncertain
Only the coastal region and the So
called DjebeI receive sufficient rain
to permit the cultivation Of Mediter-
lanean plants. But even where pre-
cipitation is till adequate tropical
plants cannot stand the fuctuating
temperature Of Libya.
Only wheat and barley, from time
immemorial. the two cereals charac-
teristic of the Mediterranean area.
can grow in the Libyan steppe. Olive,
vine and almond are able to with
stand the inclemency Of weather and
soil conditions only where the yearly
precipitation is more than 10 inches

THE INEVITABLE EFFORT

It is no wonder that the Senate
War Mobilization Committee in
la recent report declared that the
home front is "sagging danger
ously." A free people have found
themselved shackled by bureau
cratic red tape at almost every
turn.
They try to increase production
they try to get war job-they
try to raise crops-and in many
instances they are slowed down
or actually stopped by some re-
striction, decree or law that has
so complicated our economic life
that a citizen used to doing things
for himself is stumped by multi
plicity of bosses. -.
Don't forget that the success
of our war effort has been due
to the drive of free private enter
prise. Don't expect to hamstripg
that enterprise and not confuse
and bewilder, and even destroy,
the spirit of Individual initiative
and independence which built,
maintained and must perpetuate
this nation if our country remains
as we have known it. -
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1943-07-29
BETTER ROADS

Talk of postwar planning some
times leaves a citizen in doubt
but when you bring up the sub
|ject of spending money on building
public highways after the war, we
can follow. The taxpayer knows
this kind of conversation, he's been
there before! When the Associa-
ton of State Highway Officials
get together to discuss the post
war plans, they spoke for state
highway departments and federal
roads. In mentioning how ten bill
which goes to maintain, repair,
ion dollars might well be spent
rebuild the highways, they also
spoke of the construction furn-
ishing direct employment for $780,
900 people. War has shown us
the need for good roads. Much of
the work done during this war was
hurried and not under favorable
conditions, generally. More will be
needed after the heavy traffic
of army equipment and travel.
But this is just a discussion of
things to come and important since
the auto stands as an economic
feature in our national income. .s#

THEY DID NOT TALK

Civilians have been thoroughly
aware of the Importance of not aid
ing the enemy through the system
of talking too much and passing
information on mere hearsay or
by acting important and Gin the
know" and thus confiding secrets
to the indiscreet. But there have
been few instances where the con-
fidences placed in the press have
been violated and newspaper men
revealed important facts indis-
criminately and heedlessly of cost.
The correspondents abroad have
been taken into the confidence of
Officers and trusted with news,
Withholding vital information that
might boom sales for their sheet
but puttinge the welfare of their
country before the salary check
from their boss. In the recent in
vasion we find the trust placed in
them by General Eisenhower, who
met them in press conference
the middle Of June and informed
them that overseas operations
would be undertaken within the
month. He also said the attack was
to be aimed at Sicily. This took
the men by surprise although they
had been used to strict condolences
of the military authorities. This
was an event that would make his
tory with the approximate time
and exact place given. They car
ried this news around for almost
a month, wondering each day when
the blow would strike, h6w it
would be met. General Eisenhow-
er had trusted them, his manner
suggested he expected them to
obey his order to keep silent as
he would expect one of his men
in uniform to obey his command.
This general is well liked and no
wonder he is respected. He gave
the newsmen the information to
be sped to their public but they
must keep their stories until he
gave the command to fire. This
trust in the press was not vio-
lated by one man Of the 100 who
listened to his voice that June day.

IF YOU RECALL

The cutting of vacation driving
and the crowded transportation
facilities, due to more people TAX
ing trains and BUSES to their
favorite resorts, brings to mind
the appearance of the auto that
formerly set forth on the annual
trip for the family. Packing suit
case and a handbag, maybe toting
a magazine along, hopping on q
train or bus, is all simple enough
and calming to the spirit in its
tranquil style. But most of the
folks in KenneWick who have gone
on trips other summers made the
journey in the family auto and af-
ter they packed the car the night
before with equipment and sup
plies, you couldn't find the family
inside the next morning! Con-
slider taking a folding cot, couple
of new lawn chairs, added length
for the hose, some new pans, a
set of dishes Mother got on sale,
fishing tackle, a rug for the porch,
the dogs dishes, a discarded auto
seat that would be dandy in the
boat for fishing, discounting the
boxes of groceries from the cup
board and ice box at home and
the family's clothes, and you can
easily figure the difficulty of get
ting the stuff to the resort by train
with a full pack. So most of us
who can't manage a trip loaded
from hub cap to hub cap won't
mind so much, for to be able to
travel comfortably with mere
suitcase wouldn't seem like a vaca-
ton, anyhow. Well wait until
later for our trip; when we can
do it normally! . ~ NJ.
