HIS DAY

s- Fathers Day finds its victim en-
trenched more firmly in the Amer
lean home as Father is doing an
increasing share Of the housework
due to Mother doing her share OF
war work outside the home. There
was a time when they tried to keep
Dad out of the kitchen and now
they try to get him into it! This
day was set aside in respect Tor
the breadwinner. But today the
entire family is helping earn the
bread with concentrated effort in
aiding the war effort. Yet all glory
is not taken from the head OF the
family. Honor of the parent is
survival of family life down
through the ages and not just a
date we celebrate the third Sum
day of June. In a high powered
generation, it sometimes seems
that Honor thy Father and thy
Mother" is about the only one OF
the Ten Commandments that has
not lost its meaning. This year,
with all of the extra burdens on
Father, the pressure of living, re-
sponsibility and worry for his
brood, the gesture of this day is
of marked importance. Kennewick
salutes its Dads.

which may happen with great
deal more frequency in the not
too distant future. kenneWlck
people have seen the birth OF city
entirely new and complete, ever
to the residents.
Some privileged few saw the
beginning of 'sThe Village" as the
new town of Richland is now
called. clear back in the blue
print stage. On the drafting boards
of the planners, contours OF the
land where the town OF Rlchland
once stood, were drawn, over
which was imposed the new lay
out of a modern city, complete in
every detail.
Ordinarily, towns are like Topsy
-..just growed." Haphazard con.
struction, oftimes homemade al
that, marks the beginning of the
usual town. Vacant lots, unsightly
barns, sheds and shanty residences
are customary. Paint, lawns, side.
walks, street paving, schools
stores. etc., are matters of sec.
ondary importance and many
times are long in coming.
In the modern way, even the
contours of the land are made tc
suit the purpose before any CON
struction begins. Water mains
sewers, and all the digging is done
before the actual construction
work begins. Streets are laid on,
to serve the needs of a community
whose size mad makeup is pre-.
determined. Parks, schools, hos
pitfalls, hotels, ETC., are placed tc
the best advantage; stores are 10.
Gated where they can best serve
the largest number of residents al
the least effort.
Then the residences are built
Dozens of Easements dug with
assembly-line system, followed
with crews of masons, carpenters
finishers and painters who com
plete the homes like units rolling
! off the assembly line of a huge
factory. Each house is of given
type, its location established be.
fore single bit of work is done
Think what this means to the
future residents! No vacant lots
to grow up to weeds, no need tc
tear up streets, sidewalks, parkings
to install new water or sewer con.
nections; lawns uniform thruout
sidewalks and street surfacing al
in and in fine condition; stores
schools, hospitals built for speci.
fic purpose and houses and build
ings of every kind all painted ano
new-no shacks and nothing un.
slightly!
That's the way to build a town
