The drive is on Throughout the
nation for the Red Cross War
Fund. In every village and town
and city throughout the country
everyone is being asked to con-
tribute to the fund. There is no
doubt that the quota asked for Will
be met in full, not only in the ma
ton. but down to each township
in each county and state. There Is
no appeal that is made to Amer
lean people that is more kindly
and more generously received than
the appeal of the Red Cross. 1t
has proven its worth many, many
times When the name OF the
Red Cross is mentioned by So
licitor the party being called upon
knows what it stands for. II
stands for helpful service in the
disasters that come in peace time
| It stands for the blood plasms
that is being supplied our wound
ed fighting men on distant battle
fronts. It stands for surgical
dressings made by the volunteer
work of thousands of women. i
stands for aiding and comforting
prisoners of war in foreign prison
camps. It stands for assistance il
solving the problems which worry
service men far from home, ane
in thousand ways spending to thu
very best advantage every dollar
turned over by the American PEG
pie for its use. III. .'.....
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-03-30

In the good old days when the
family entertainment consisted of
a wheezy cottage organ and stack
of old dog cared song books, a
church paper, perhaps a weekly
paper or few well worn, and
much read books, that the family
all stayed home at night. Now a
days when the average home has
a talking machine, radio, a piano,
all the late magazines, and in
some instances home picture ma.
chimes, and furnishing which a
few years back only the well to do
could afford, the family is seldom
at home. It is out seeking enter
tainment. As. soon as the evening
meal is over they all clear out to
get back around midnight. II
used to be that members of the
family seemed to enjoy each others
society. Now it appears that the
common urge is to get away from
the family and get with others.

BIRTHDAY

This issue completes the thirtieth
year of the life Of the Courier
Reporter. The first week in April,
1914, the two town papers, the
Courier and the Reporter were con.
solidated and the present institu-
ton was formed.
While it is the thirtieth year for
consolidated papers, the Courier
was twelve years older, having
been started the year the new town
of Kennewick started-in 1902.
Six years later the Reporter was
started, the town having two news
papers until both were virtually
"broke" after 1910. Finally the
struggle became too great and the
two were combined.
At the time of the consolidation
A. r. Gardner was editor and pro-
prietor of the Reporter while the
Courier was owned and operated
by r. E. Reed and E. G. Trip.
Gardner is now the president of a
federal bank at Evanston, ILL.,,
Trip is dead and the present pub
Usher is still carrying on.
Trip sold his interest in 1916
and Gardner in 1924. For the
past twenty years, then, the opera
ton Of the plant has been in the
hands of the erstwhile editor, max
ing him the oldest businessman
in point of continuous service in
the same line-in Kennewick.
During the 80 years the paper

AS relief from contemplation
of the country's big debt, why not
look at the other side of the pic
ture? This country has the larg-
est air force in the world. 1t has
the largest navy in the world. It
has the most of the gold of the
world. It is the only nation in
the world which could have fur
nished the guns and ships and
planes and food, in sufficient
numbers and amount to defeat
Hitler. But for this country Hit
Ter would have defeated Russia
and England and finally ourselves
We have big debt, but we've
done big job.

ON THE JOB

ON THE JOB ...e -
Few stop to pay thought to the
untiring effort of the draft boards
whose members have been serving
the country during this war and
without much credit but with
many complaints from the citizens.
We take such service as part OF
the responsibility of public-minded
folks and let it 60 at that. Draft
boards number $500 who have met
to consider the sorting of mil
lions of young men who have en-
tered or been refused by the armed
forces. They have endeavored to
keep this an individual study and
a carful sorting. Add the numer-
Gus regulations that would stump
any patient man, the draft board
members have, for three years,
voluntarily and successfully played
a ticklish role. The Selective
Service System gives credit for a
large part of its success to the
local draft boards. These deserve
credit for their thankless jobs.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-03-30

There are some people just like
March; blustery, changeful, errat-
ic, savage, mild, restrained, i'm
petuous, calm, stormy. March is
the parting struggle of winter as
it gives way seemingly reluctantly
to the spring. It all but gives up
at times and then strikes back
with unpredictable fury. March
is, and always has been, an un-
practicable month.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-03-30

Do you remember your first
picture show, the first time you
saw the silent pictures and the
first time you heard the talkies?
Remember, in the first talking
pictures the conversation was re-
corded on photograph records in
stead of on the sound track Of
the film? At times the record and
the picture would get out of time
and the voice would not synchron-
ize with the films. It was all so
breathlessly wonderful that we
overlooked such minor details.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-03-30

The new tax bill radically in.
creases nearly all types of postal
service. The prediction by many
is that it will result in less patron
age of the service and will raise
no more money than did the old
rates. Local letters will be three
cents instead of two. More local
messages will be delivered on
foot or by telephone.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-03-30

has had many dreams, has seen
many a brilliant bubble burst, but
never, in all that time, has the
publisher last the early-day faith
that sooner or later Kennewick
would become a real city. Now
that dream, at least, is about to
become reality.
We've had fun. in the past 80
years and look confidently for
ward to more fun in the next 30.
