WE SAY IT AGAIN

It cannot be said too often the
words of appeal to the American
people to buy War Bonds that we
may bring to a more speedy end
this fight for freedom. With daily
reports reaching us of the struggle
to conquer and to hold, Of certain
victories and positive deaths, we
now know full well the forceful
meaning Of invasion. No step for
ward toward our goal but that it
costs life, brings back sorrow and
depletes a nations youth. Each
boy who marches onward is Civ
ing more to the Fifth War Bond
Drive than all of Kennewick put
together with its bond purchases.
Remember that. You are investing
in your country. So is he. You,
with you money which will bring
you interest, he with his life that
will bring him-what? How much
interest are YOU paying that boy
who daily buys. the price of bond
with his body?

In our opinion the adjustment or
conversion of industry and activ-
ity in this country from the war
program to the peace program is
going to be a big task by the time
all adjustments necessary for q
smooth normal functioning are
made. Big as it will be however,
we do not think it will be as much
of a problem as that which will
face the boy who has been flying
a combat plane or has had charge

According to the Office of War
Information, three-fourths of the
service men who are being dis
charged desire different jobs than
those in which they were employ
ed when called into the service.
There are many reasons for this.
Their experiences have changed
them, taken them out of their old
rut or groove and they now feel
free to make new choices. At the
rate of about 10000 a month they
are entering war industries, but
most of them have their hearts set
on other jobs. It means that there
is going to be considerable shifting
about when peace comes.

Eric Johnson, president of the
United States chamber of COM
merce, is one of the most refresh
ing personalities that has appeared
upon the American horizon in
years. johnson is a realist and
speaks the realists language unde-
filed by convention or popular ap-
peal. In a recent speech delivered
in Russia, johnson instead of pratt
ing of brotherhood and under
Standing frankly told the Rus
slams that there was vast differ
ence between the Russion way of
life and the American way of life.
He did not suggest to the Russians
that they adopt our way of life or
that the United States would ever
adopt communism. You are state

pie. "We are private minded, in

mitted, but asserted they have
been wasting their time annoying
our trade unions more than oar
employers. The Russians liked his
speech and cheered it. Both coun-
tries, johnson admitted, had been
In error before the war. The Rus
slams were certain that Americas
free system of enterprise could
never meet problems of war pro-
duction. On the other hand Amer
leans had little confidence in
regimented economy like that of
Russia. But, each is doing its full
share in winning the war. While
the two countries are far apart in
ideologies, they are cooperating in
the face of common danger. In
the same way Johnson believes,
each can retain its individuality
while working for a lasting peace.
Coming at time when there is q
good deal of idealistic Laundering
in our thinking Johnson's speach is
an expression of clear thinking.

Though perhaps without any
prearranged plan, our soldiers in
England and we at home are both
faced simultaneously with big
task. The men and boys in Eng
land are faced with the great and
perilous task of invading a CONT
nent. We at home are faced with
the necessity Of raising the Fifth
War Loan. Our men at the from;
are going to be called upon to
make great sacrifices. Thousands
will give their lives and thousands
more will be wounded and manned
by the guns of the enemy. We at
home are not being called upon to
risk our lives, we are not being
called upon to suffer any physical
wound or pain or discomfort. We
are merely being called upon to
loan our money in the soundest
investment that the world has to
offer today. Compared to the sac
rifice being made by this landing
on French soil the sacrifice of
those of us at home will be moth
ing even though the loan were
many times bigger than it is. We
are ready to concede that failure
on the part Of the soldiers now bat
ting inland from the French coast
would be tragic, but the failure
of us here at home to raise every
dollar we are asked to raise would
be even more tragic because of the
smaller effort and the smaller sac
rifice. Raising our part of the
Fifth War Loan is this country's
contribution to the invasion drive.
It is up to us to get the job done as
quickly as possible. We must show
the rest of the country and the
world that we at home are backing
to the fullest the boys over there.

Get Out of Mental Rut

letter came this morning from young man of 33 who
says he wants to get out of mental rut Think of that
Only third of century old and in rut!
But do get into mental rus that's true. Also we can
get out of them. That's the good part.
The way to get out is very simple. Do something new
For instance, go some place you've been before
especially wake up your mind by studying something or
learning something Start in to study the kind of
peace that should be made after the over Read
everything you the subject lectures find out
what things with the Versailles peace at the
end of the first World war.
Noah Webster gave us our standard dictionary
When he was 81 he felt that he was getting into rut
he started In to learn Hebrew 1t probably did him
very little good but the other hand it showed he
knew the secret of pulling of a rut.
Here four rules which, if will apply them you
find will change your mental horizon:
l. Do something you ordinarily would not do For in
stance if you always sat the last row of all meetings and
had nothing to say then in become active in some
organization Serve it. let yourself be put up for office in
a club where you never used to chirp.
g. There is nothing quite so helpful in getting out of
rut to travel Of that can't be done now but
get out some travel books and take paper Journey to
Tibet Really learn something about that country
B. whenever you have chance, go to see travel NOV
ing pictures From time to time they are still shown in
the heaters And though our war effort has cut
down the number of lectures at museums there still are
some lectures Illustrated they usually are they will
plunge you into new interests probably give YOU new
Ideas Alter such lecture travel picture 90 home and
consult encyclopedia further information on b
Not only will this entertain and instruct Won but
or later you Will find newyacquired information
valuable.
a. Mingle with different group of people For in

Perhaps Thanksgiving dinner,
1914, seemed incomplete in your
home because there was no turkey,
deliciously gold-browned, to be
placed in front of the official fam
lily carver. Be cheered with the
thought that the bird which might
have graced your table. instead
added a touch of home to the
Thanksgiving dinners of our fight
ing men and women. Although
turkey production this year is ex-
pected to be the largest on record,

beef and veal tongues are now one
to three cents less a pound, so
you'd be saving money as well as
red points. Another pointless en-
tree and popular one with
most men-folk is sweetbreads.
Prices on beef, veal, lamb and NUT
ton sweetbreads have been in
creased from one to two cents a
pound.
Are the smokers in your family
huffy because of the cigarette
shortage? If so, here are a few
salient facts First of all, OPA
has announced that rationing of
cigarettes is not contemplated. OPA
and VIA agree that this would be
completely impractical The pres
ent shortage in some areas is due
in part to shipments of large guam
titles =. especially the better
known brands :. to American SOL
diers and sailors overseas. Then
too more people are smoking more
cigarettes under the strain of war;
time conditions here at home.
Hoarding is another contributing
factor. You can do your part to
help ease the situation by buying
only for your current needs.
Next time Junior or his father
calls to your attention the fact that
his supply of shirts and shorts is
getting short, don't let the news
lower your morale. Although you
may have been unable to find any
on your last shopping tour, the men
of the house may soon be adequate
ly clothed again. A recent OPA
action granting manufacturers of
certain types of mems and boys
heavy shirts, drawers and union
suits permission to apply for higher
| ceiling prices is expected to bring
| about an increased output of these
items.

in summer. Or, if you want COM
plete, all-round insulation, it's an
easy matter to pour Zonolite into
hollow spaces between walls.
You'll save when you insulate
with Zonolite. Zonolite insulation
costs less than other top-quality
insulation, yet none offers greater
advantages than Zonolite. Stop in
at O'Malley's, see the demonstra-
ton of Zonolite insulation, and
learn how economically you can
have year-round comfort by insulat-
ing your home with Zonolite.
