PREPARE FOR THE
FIJTIIPE


Unless far-sighted legislation
aimed at postwar expansion OF
commercial aviation is enacted by
the United States, ''our present
great aerial effort will be scattered
to the four winds of heaven and
our. national security will again
be jeopardized," says Col. Edgar
S. Gorrell, president of the All
Transport Association of America
Pointing out that the Civil Aero
nautics Act of 1888 had made il
possible for the United States tc
build the worldwide air trans
Iportation system that is proving
Invaluable i'm the war emergency
ICol. Gorreu recommends the Lea
Bailey bill.
"Unless it is enacted, and en-
acted wisely, there is grave danger
that private flying will be Grip
pied; the aeronautical training
schools of the country will go
bankrupt and close at the signing
of the armistice; the aircraft man.
iufacturers will be practically out
of business for seven or eight
years subsequent to the war; the
airlines of the country will be
subject to destructive competition;
our nations largest industry of
today will be headed for the rocks
of destruction, and our leading
pilots, mechanics and other skilled
heroes will be destined to walk
the streets jobless."
Col Gorren points out the great
changes that have taken place
in aviation since 1888. These
changes are the principal argu-
ment for undermining and making
equitable the legislation and regu-
1ation under the commercial avi-
alton of the United States must
carry on and meet world competi-
ton in the future. ..->. ~
Mayor Alfred Anon is all for
expanding the city limits. He.
wants to take in enough territory
so that the. city can take care Of
all the expected growth. A .peti-
ton was entered Tuesday evening
to take in an area east of the
present city limits to permit al
housing project. Only reason for
asking admission was to gain ac-
cess to the city's water and sewer
systems. However, apparently the
city's sewer system is already be-
ing taxed to capacity and such an
extra load might create more diff
ficulties than benefits. We think
the forthcoming survey should be
carefully scanned before an cleo
ton is called to permit the annex
alton. We may be able to handle
the extra load, but if not this is
no time to try to put through
sewer additions, even if the ma
teria1s were available. F.. =
Due to the activities on the up
river project the government is
planning to move the cemetery
to Prosser. If we had any feeling
of spite against the county seat
town this would offer an ex-
cellent opportunity of making
some such crack as that would be
the proper place to put the dead
ones. But of course, we haven't
any such unfriendly attitude.

The Bureaucrats in Washington
have now begun to criticize each
other. BY all means let the frank
and searching discussion go on.
Perhaps if it does, we will be able
to find out what really, is going
on in Washington.

Our advice has not been asked,
and in all probability won't be, but
if we were going to drop a word
of friendly advice to Mussolini
it would be for him to surrender
while his cities are all intact. If
he doesn't he is going to see them
one by one laid in shambles by
American and English bombs.
Mussolini nor Italy hasn't a thing
to gain in permitting this ruin to
come to her shores. =

The city council sometimes takes
a funny slant on civic affairs. Wis
dom prevailed Tuesday night
however, when the proposal was
made to permit a few trailer
houses to be parked in the re-
stricted area in the Garden Tracts.
It was agreed that no such per-
mission would be granted, even
in this emergency, to permit trailer
houses in that area until the resi-
dent in that area were given a
chance to be heard in the matter
as, to whether they minded if such
permission was given. - u,

sponsibility on another's shoulders.
I'VE are warned daily that the black
! market is the consumers problem
and it is in these hands that the
black market can be squelched.
When you pay more than ceiling
prices for meat, buy from deal
er who shrugs off the ration
stamps, when you insist upon
meats that you know aren't avail
able, you are 'abetting the black
market racket. The government
suggests you ask to see both types
of government stamps on whole
sale cuts of meats and this you are
more apt to fail to do, feeling
you are offering an insult to the
Integrity of the dealer. If you are
pretty sure of the individual and
enough convinced that he is not
doing an illegitimate business you
are probably not worrying about
buying diseased meat, slaughtered
according to the rules of the shady
game rather than according to the
rules of sanitary practice. You
know your meat man SO you don't
fear an epidemic. BUT, are you
one of those who is accepting GER,

for each of us it allotted a share,
a fair balance to insure us good
food for health's sake, and when
you allow yourself to accept more
through friendship and partially
you are cutting someone else of
their just amount, perhaps
neighbor, perhaps a soldier. Let's
play no favorites, accept only what
we have coming to us and not
want to do some chiselling be-
cause someone we know is getting
away with it. Let him crowd his
refrigerator with butter, bacon,
steaks. This job is our part of
the fight and we can do it with as
good grace in Kennewick as our
boys are in the Solomons. -
If the starry-eyed boys at Wash

our job would be less difficult.

Jimmy Lunceford's
Band Is At Paradise

The road was lot easier to travel
after that. In fact. in 1894. Lunce-
ford's band filled in for Cab CAL
loway at the Cotton Club in New
York City. while he was off on one
OF his tours. The boys clicked.
They've been doing big time en-
gagements ever since.
In 1889 the band was packed and
ready 10 leave for a tour in Europe
when the war broke out. The trip
was off. Once before. however.
the boys did very we'll on tour of
Denmark. Sweden, Norway. Hol-
land and France.
Few dance orchestras have played
for schools and colleges as consis-
tently as Jimmie Lunce:ord. who
brings his popular band to the
Paradise theatre. He played at the
University of Texas eleven times in
six years: at Cornell. six times. and
at Duke university. five times.
Lunceford also has appeared a,

It's quite unnecessary to inform
you. if you've heard Jimmie Lunce-
ford's orchestra. that it's good
one. You can gather that even
though you don't know the differ

driving. inspired swing passages,
and suddenly Shift into very low.
DELAYED rhythm Of a type most
bands find it extremely difficult TO
maintain. Ultra slow tempos re-
quire superb rhythm section. be-
cause the tendency is always to
speed up. The orchestra has lots
of color and variety. all based on
solid musicianship.
Jimmie's boys ought to be good.
Jimmie. himself. and most OF the
members OF the band are college
graduates, and most Of them have
been playing and studying music
since high school days.
Not that this makes any differ
ence in his playing. but Lunceford
was the first colored orchestra
leader to hold an ariplane pilots
license. Three other name band
leaders sport wings in their lapels-
Larry Clinton, Bobby Byrne and
Buddy Rogers.
Lunce'ord's quite guy. He
stands six feet tall and is well
built. In high school and college
he was outstanding in sports and
he plays sax. flute, clarinet, guitar
and trombone.
Jimmie was born in Fulton. Miss.
but spent his boyhood in Denver.
Colo. It was there he began to
study music under James WILDER
force Whiteman. father Of Paul
Whiteman. Jimmie's family then
moved to Memphis, Tenn. where
he was graduated from Manassa
High school, and then from Fisk
university. At the college he won
four letters in sports.
After receiving his degree. Eunce-
ford got a job teaching English at
Manassa high. He organized a
school orchestra, and at one stage
got together nine-piece band
which he liked particularly well.
But presently the band was ready
to be graduated. Most OF the men,
bers planned TO go to college so
Jimmie had long talk with him.
self and then with the boys.
The upshot was that the gang
enrolled at Fisk university as stu
dents and the leader re-entered the
college-but this time as head wait
er in the restaurant The impor-
tsnt thing. however. was that they
we're all together. That was back
in 1897. Five OF the original are
still with Jimmie.
While the boys were at school,
and for a couple Of years afterward.
they scrimped along on pick UP
Jobs in dance halls and az small
affairs. Then they started TO move
around the countryside a bit. and
in Buffalo they met Harold Oxley.
a former band leader, who became
their manager and booker.
