set of coupons covers an entire
group of commodities. With it one
can choose the weeks rations from
one kind or another of canned
goods or dried or fresh frozen vege-
tables and fruits. If meat ration
ing is adopted one can take his
choice between beef, pork, lamb or
mutton just sac long as the points
cover the purchase. The coupons
will be in one point, two point, five
point and eight point value. The
purchaser, before making a purchase
must figure on the number of avail
able points he has for food needs
for the remainder of the week.
Relatively scarce cuts of meat will
require more points than the cheap
er cuts and correspondingly the
cheaper will require less points than
the better cuts. In other words one
can buy more food of the plentiful
or low point value than he can of
the scarcer items which have a
high point value. The purchaser
has his choice. The point system
rationing book No. 2 will be dis
tributed some time in February.

PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED
TO KNOW

Figures on kilowatt-llour traffic
on f1igh-voltage lines in this county
as related in news columns of this
weeks Courier-Reporter throw fur
Their light on the admontion OF G.
w. Burton, the Bonneville engineer,
who has warned PUD commission
ers that a condemnation suit here
would result in large severance
damages"
The people Of this county must
ultimately pay the bill for any Of
the public utility districts obliga-
lions. They have right to know
why two of our commissioners, who
are strictly laymen so far as tech
nical power problems are concerned,
choose to ignore the expert advice
of their PUD engineer.
Surely, the people ought to be
told the whole story by their public
servants before any drastic step is
taken.

USING MAPS

After the war we will travel by
air to different countries for short
vacations and whereas it was the
habit to see Europe we will be more
worldly minded and think in terms
of Africa, Australia and South
America. 1t means that We are
going to be better acquainted with
geography and, for that matter,
we are right now more able to tell
you where Dakar, Buna or Guadal-
canal is located than we could have
a year ago, learning to study a
map and become acquainted with
such places as Bizerte and Stain
grad, with Tunis and Bataan fam
iliar places. The reason more of us
follow maps today than during the
first World War is because the
fighting today is not being done on
known soil. Watch a Kennewick
youngster construct a plane and
hear him speak of the Solomons
and Midway when he might not be
sure of the name of the county in
which he lives. The world is not
going to be such a large place,
geographically, after this is over.

BRIGHT. GREEN UMBRELLAS

One doesn't think much about
umbrellas unless one is caught out
in the rain and the umbrella is
home in the closet. But in glanc-
ing over a page in the Old Farmers
Almanac this item under, the date
of January %, caught our eye" Men
carried bright green umbrellas,
1870. We have never gone in much
for umbrellas and paid little atten-
ton to them until Neville Cham
berlain came along and made us
umbrella conscious, but this short
notice gave us pause for thought.
What a sight! But no funnier, per-
haps, than men of today wearing
pastel colored Stacks, bright shirts,
rainbow hues in underwear and
sleeping garments!

Woodrow Wilson's effort to. create
a League of Nations that would put
an end to war is still remembered
and will be remembered for many
years to come. Those who tEwarted
the entrance of the nation into the
League and thus scuttled it, have
long since been mercifully forgotten.
A new League under some other
name will be created when this war
is over. Its effectiveness and en-
durance will depend upon to what
extent it is entered into by the
leading nations of the world. If one
of the major powers holds back be-
cause of selfishness or narrow and
blind partisanship the new League
will fail just as did the Wilson
League.

= The Department of Agriculture
recently granted an increase Of 10
percent in the price of flour. The
order also stipulated that. the price
of bread should not he increased.
In order to cut the production cost
bakers were ordered not to slice the
bread. Housewives throughout the
land are protesting. They have
bought sliced bread for so long
that they have lost the gentle art
of slicing bread in regular slices
and besides many of them have
long since thrown the old bread
knife in the scrap heap during a
scrap drive. They point out that
the bakers already have their Sic
ing knives, and the same machine
that slices the bread wraps it so
no time is lost in slicing. It was
possible in the days of home made
bread to do a fairly good slicing
job but it takes razor edge knife
and an expert mechanic to slice
q loaf of modern bakers bread with
anything like uniformity. If it
wasn't for toasting it the loaf
could be tossed in the center Of
the table and each member of the
family could tear a chunk to his
liking. .'.-... 7.-:

I hear a good deal said, a local
man said yesterday, about how the
world should be run after the war
When I note the amount Of men
and material and money we are fur
nishing to win the war I feel that
whatever the plan is we should
have a lot to say about it. If We
are going to be called in periodically
to clean up the worlds mess lets
see to it that We fix things so that
it won't be necessary to call us in
again. I wouldn't be so particular
about wording it out to everyone's
either. There are lot
of people who will never be salts
fled unless they are in a position
to stir up a row.

This is going to he the most ter
rible winter that Europe has ever
known. Thousands and hundreds Of
thousands of people in the occupied
countries are not going to have SUI
ficient food to satisfy their hunger,
nor sufficient clothing and fuel to
keep themselves warm. We Of this
country, even though We should be-
come reduced to the bareSt necessities
and the simplest food are going to
be fortunate above all others. This
thought and this fact should spur
us on to our greatest efforts to aid in
the war program that will put ar
end to this deluge Of misery.

With the advent of War Ration
ing Book No. 2, the country will
have its first experience with ration
ing on point system. The govern
ment food rationing authorities will
SIT the point value of each item of
food within the group of rationed
products and issue an official list
for the guidance of storekeepers
and the general public. Point values
will be based on available supplies
and may vary from time to time as
the, supply of the rationed items
increases or decreases. War ration
ing book No. 2 will contain four
pages of blue stamps and four of
red. The blue stamps will be for
the first group of commodities to
he rationed by points. The red
stamps will be used for the second
group of rationed items. Each stamp
will bear number, showing how
many points it is worth and a letter
telling in what period the stamp is
good. As in the case of coffee and
sugar the government will announce
in advance the period in which the
stamps will be good. Stamps that
should be used in one period will
not be good in another period. The
point system differs from the sug-
ar and coffee .rationing. In the
case of these two commodities one
stamp entities the holder to one
pound of coffee and one stamp en-
titles the holder to three pounds Of
sugar. Under the point system one

RETIRING OLD CARS

There is a side issue of benefit
in tine auto restriction according to
a Kennewick reader, who mentions
that many Of the old dilapidated au-
tomobiles are disappearing from the
road for always. There was prob
lem presented by the old-model
cars in, many stages of decrepitude
which, for the common good, should
have been refused licenses. They
were a public hazard and often
accidents could be traced to defects
due to age of these badly worn autos
riding along the highways. 1t was
found that often the owners were
not financially able to meet obliga-
lions to injured parties. This was
wrong. There are laws providing
for adequate brakes, tire inspection,
lighting efficiency and so on, but
more physically unfit automobiles
were still getting by than laws for
safety should permit. Many will
agree with the readers opinion.

IN WAR, AS IN PEACE
advertising is q meuns of communicable

Its business is to carry ideas or infor-
nation about goods or services to the
eyes and ears of ten, hundred or a
million men and women.
This advertisement is an example of
one Wartime use of advertising. You
have seen other examples - the war
bond drive, the scrap collection, the
grease and fats drive.
And in the very pages of this publ
cation, the humber, everyday function
of advertising brings wartime news of
the food, clothing, shelter you may
want and seek today.

States and to democratic prin-
ciples.
An outstanding example of
the good Nisei is Hugh M.
Kiino, second generation Amer
lean citizen of japanese ances-
try, who has just left the Jerome
Relocation Camp TO look for a
job in Jackson, Mich. He could
be working for the Justice De-
partment if he were able 10 read
and write Japanese He is as
American as Joe Doakes.
Kiino was graduated from
the University of California in
1886 with a degree in political
science, remained for year TO
study law, and then Joined his
brother in the strawberry and
grape shipping business in Flor
ia, Cal, where he was born.
In 1888, he was married to
Ruth Dekuzaku, who majored in
bacteriology for her degree at
the University Of California. Mrs.
Kiino has obtained a position as
housekeeper with family which
is willing for her husband and
their child TO live with them.
RESENTFUL NOW
The day they left here. | had
a talk with Kiino about how he
and other loyal Japanese-Am
leans feel about what was done
to them after Pearl Harbor. He
said:
AT first we felt no real bit
terneSs. We were told that our
evacuation was a military -neces-
Sity, and we understood and
we're willing TO make sacrifice
for our country. But now we
have learned 49, or have come to
believe - that we are being OPP
pressed.
There no longer is any danger
Of a Japanese invasion of our
west coast. We are permitted to
make new homes anywhere in
the country except where our
homes and farms and businesses
are. We feel that the govern
ment has had ample time TO in
vestigate us, to put those who
are dangerous into confinement
and permit the rest of us to go
home.
I'VE are not bitter toward the
United States government We
are bitter toward the people of
California. We feel that there is
lot Of politics in our being kept
from our own state. After all, we
are citizens and are supposed to
have the rights Of citizens unless
we do something wrong"
