STAYING CLOSE HOME

With a ban on pleasure driving
in some states, limited for others
rationing boards clamping down
on vacationists, everywhere, Il
seems that the American people
who have loved to travel are going
to have to learn to love to stay
home. The fact we owned an QUITO
for every four persons in the
nation goes to prove that we must
have done some sightseeing in
our time. The day of Boosting OF
how fast we made trip, of how
much mileage we have used since
we first bought the car, is no more,
Now in Kennewick we conserve
whether we have a ration board
or a government official parked
on our curb or not, to make the
war short by making our cars
and equipment last longer. Re-
sorts have found a change in the
pub1ic's plans for the summer.
The mountains, shores, shrines
and relatives are going to have to
wait. But it doesn't mean that
there won't be relaxation and en-
joynent right here at home.

ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN

Strikes and more strikes, we
can't stop the flood it seems. The
atmosphere grows tense with Won
dering where the blow will fall
next. Spreading through plants
manufacturing armament, to mines
producing power through steel,
into this industry and that one are
the debates over rights and
wrongs. The motive is not too
clear in some cases, in other in
stances it takes on a political
angle. Economically the trouble
appears to be on pay increase
grounds, using the high cost of
living as the reason. Initiation ap-
pears as an argument on the other
side and then stalemate. AS for
politics, some union leaders feel
that Lewis would like nothing
better than to win a victory on
the pay increase and show up the
group that is supporting the anti
initiation principle BECAUSE the
founder of the Go and the Presi-
dent have not seen eye to eye
and after MIR. Lewis swung his
support to Willkie in 1910 the
breech was wide. Perhaps we
might be ashamed. - :.

OUR ALLEY, THE CHINESE

Chinese Independence Day. is
July 7th, as we severe our own
day of Independence considering
| it the groundwork for the nation
that we have become and hope to
be, so does China celebrate her
holiday. It comes as good news
that a way has been opened for us
to supply planes for operations In
China. We have not sent the
necessary planes to fight the japs
as long as there was the situation
| in India that prevented keeping
the planes supplied with bombs
and fuel. Now we can increase
our combat force at the end OF
the line, and this is good news to
every American who has long felt
the japanese menace. The Chinese
have been pointed out as a race
that has much to teach us in the
way of civilization. Patience is
an attribute not to be overlooked.
The Chinese have lessons to
give us in the field of cookery.
They, can offer suggestions for nu-
tritious meals, combined flavors
that are unusual but delicious.
Food experts tell us to preserve
vitamins we should cook veget-
ables in as little water as pos
sible. The Chinese have used this
method always. They have the adj
vantage of water chestnuts, ban-
boo shoots, dry rice but so do
we have shrimps, lettuce, chicken,
eggs. They use crab-meat, mustard
green's, lobster, pork and good old
string beans. So can we. Lin Yu-
tang, whose books some of our
readers know, quoted an ancient
Chinese poet who likened cooking
to matrimony, ga matching and
blending of the tastes Mr.. Lin
himself, suggests, ''let meat and
vegetables be combined and mar
ried." Yes, we have much to learn
from China, stretching ration
points is one Of them.

Of city girls who are doing real
job in war plants and ship yards
throughout the nation, who from

sure but these city girls have what
it takes to fit into any job to which
la woman's strength is equal. In
stead of making fun Of the sugges-
tons it appears to us that the
smart thing to do would be to use
the same effort to teach. a girl

mystery about farm work that the
average intelligent. American girl
cannot master as quickly as a

Remember when we sat, back in
SNUG complacency and said it was
none of our business when. Japan
attacked China. and Mussolini in
vaded Ethiopia several years ago?
Was it or wasn't it our business
then? We think it was. IF world
peace ever. comes to stay it will
come when the rest of the world
is ready to rise up and stop all
such unlawful invasion whenever
and wherever it is. made. We can't
hope for world peace if national
hoodlumsS are going to be permit
ted to operate on the loose at will.
If we are going to have to fight for
world peace we had. better fight
first instead of waging more
costly war later. This. is one thing
about which we can well afford
to be realistic, instead of starry
eyed dreamers. - - -. .. -.

OUR CAPITALS BIRTHDAY

The center of national activity
is our: capital, the seat of our gov
eminent, located in the District
of Columbia and called Washing
ton. It was July Is, 1870 the
Congress of the United States
then in session in the city of Phil
adelphia, provided for site of
ten miles square on the banks of
the Potomac. Our capital was so
born and though the act named the
capital there was a ten year delay
in order to build the public offices
and provide for living quarters.
Although no money was voted for
the project, Maryland and Vir-
ginia ceded the land. that was
chosen by George Washington for.
the spot, and they also gave the
first funds to construct the build
ings. Later the government retro
coded the portion of. the site given
by Virginia. "A Frenchman was the
first one to plan the federal city
but ran into difficulty. by de-
molishing private house that con-
Mcted with his plans, and the job
was: then given to a surveyor
named Ellicot. The first census
of Washington's population was
taken in 1900 and we find Ia
093 persons listed. During the
period in trying to build the White
House there was confusion, dis
charges, alterations and no fl
nances. At one time the state of
Maryland held a lottery to come
to the rescue with funds to- 60 on.
1t was a long drawn out process
and two wars interfered with it's
progress. Land occupied finally
totaled 58.8 acres, renovations add
ed steam heating, elevators, fire
proofing, electric lights, modern
drainage, light, heat and power
plant, and wide landscaping of
exterior has enhanced the beauty.
This is the site of our law, the
campus of governmental order.
Happy birthday!
