The massive drive just opened by
General Hodges American 1st Army
may well mark the beginning of an
all-out Allied effort to defeat Ger
many before the end of the year.
Since mid-September. despite the
fact that the Siegfried Line has been
penetrated east of Aachen, our
forces have made only Insignificant
advances, and this lack Of forward
movement, combined with the losing
gamble Of the British air-borne divi-s
sion at Arnhem. has led such au-
thorities as Prime Minister Church.

Hitler, Of having government in exile
with its information agencies and prop
aganda services, the record of Austrian
resistance well may be called an inn
pressive one.
Many Austrians fight in the ranks
of Marshal Tito's army and, on Aus
trian soil proper, in the Tyrol and in
Carinthia, Austrian Partisans are fight
ing the Germans. On June %, 1914,
the existence of Partisan troops in Ca
rinthia was officially confirmed by
George Hall, British Undersecretary of
State for Foreign Affairs in the course
of debate in the House Of Commons.
In the beginning of August Of this
year, the head of the Ostmark NSKK
tNational Socialist Automobile Corps in
Austria), Mr.. Seydel complained in the
IS organ, Schwarzes Korps, that Sin
the course of operations against tens
of thousands of deserters in the Aus
trian Alps several divisions have en-
countered fierce armed resistance" and
he added that because OF this they
were unable to arrest more than an
insignificant number of the deserters." !"
This chronicle of active resistance Of
the Austrian people could be greatly
heightened and augmented by the rec
ord of instances OF passive resistance
of which there is no dearth. It is diff
cult to understand how, in view Of these
uncontestable facts, the Austrians alone
can be accused Of willingly participate
ing in the war on Hitler's side and Of
making no contribution to their own
liberation.

GONE PUN . eh. Folks? But Nom and
y really take this canning business seriously,
cuz if we don't do it right, its an awful waste
of time. and food.
SO, after reading a lot of magazines and
government bulletins, we started using part
karo in our canning syrup.
Seems as how karo puts up" better fruits
protects their true flavor and color. That's
because Karo is so rich in dextrose sugar
and people who know tell us that dextrose
has natural affinity" for fruits.
Well, you just try Karo in canning +. l bet
you'll like it.

CAN YOU RECALL?

CAN YOU RECALL?
To the brave goes the praise
when will power was the re-
quirement needed to undertake the
initial rides in the early autos.
The first president to ride in one
of those "contraptions" was Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the stirring
event took place in September,
1902, probably the fall air bring
ing strength for the trip. In Hart
ford, Conn, the spectacular scene
was enacted, with a horse-drawn
vehicle following the presidential
car, for eny emergency! An ed
itor who wrote of the occasion
did not realize our chuckle today
when he put it, Roosevelt dis
played the courage which is typ
ical of him." It is far from 1902
when SO few automobiles were
on the road and those folk who
did venture courageously forth
carried with them a Blue Book
Travelling Guide for directions.
Consider your modern highways,
intersection signs, detour routings,
motor clubs, stop and go signals
and then the early go ~ miles
to red barn. Turn right. Go 4
miles to covered BRIDGE" and coun.
the years between as full of traffic
wonders. Of course we smile at
pictures of the buster that kept
the clothes clean from the dirt
of unpaved roads, the caps and
goggles. the Tigh-seated autos that
clumsily jerked along with noise
and puffs. But right now, every
month of these war years, fewer
automobiles are riding the high
ways. Nearly 100000 of them
were sent to the scrap pile in the
past two years. Since it appears
to be some time before new mod
els will be available motorists of
Kennewick might wisely take care
or even a 1902 model with its
buster and side curtains might
look good! -

PACIFIC GAINS

PACIFIC GAINS =
AS we read of each advance
in our hold on Japanese islands
in the Pacific, we more fully real
ize how man .overcomes distance,
due to our progress by air. That
which was weakness shortly after
Pearl Harbor has become great
strength today. What. seemed
formidable and unequal then, in
the way of equipment and men,
has been overcome. Look today at
those atolls where fresh troops
and veterans of early fighting are
forcing the japs to defeat. Our
progress is bringing us closer to
our goal, we are knocking on the
front door of Japan. The price
has been paid in blood since our
advance first started 16 months
ago. AS we press on, as we out
fight the enemy, we grow en-
couraged, but Kennewick will not
be overconfident and not let up
in buying War Bonds-and hold
ing them, until the courage and
fortitude of these Pacific warriors
of ours bring us final victory.

We are in favor of the plan of
the railroad executives who pro-
posed that steps be taken to pay
off the national debt in one hum
dred years by paying one per cent
of it and the accrued interest each
year. We believe that the debt is
of such proportions that unless
steps be taken to Systematically
pay it we will never get it paid.
It will be dangerous for the coun-
try to have a debt of this size
hanging over it. Another emer-
gency calling for extensive ex-
penditure might easily run the
debt to point where it would be
physically impossible to pay it
with any income that might rea-
sonably be expected to be earned
by the taxpayers of this nation.
Unless the debt can be reduced
each year, after the war, and the
government operated within its
obtainable income, we of this ma
ton will face financial disaster
in just the same manner that an
individual would whose expenses
consistently exceed his income.

THANKSGIVING DAY

The early refugees to these
shares, thankful for haven from
dangers past, grateful for those
blessings of opportunity found in
their new land, gave us our first
Thanksgiving Day, as far back as
as 1921. Not just for a successful
harvest, the proud results of their
labor, but for many other reasons
did they raise their prayers. They
had come from various countries
to strange soil, hopeful of build
ing new lives, determined to con-
quer this vast wilderness where,
with the help of God, they would
freely and steadfastly erect a
foundation for the house of gov
eminent to come. Their Thanks
giving was devoted to faith. This
has outlived them and today, at
a time when comforts and safety
even such blessings as hope and
courage are strained, KenneWlck
again comes to the observation OF
Thanksgiving Day, and considers
the bounteous harvest in its lndl-
viduaI lives. Inasmuch as those
Pilgrim Fathers laid the corner
stone for this democracy, we who
followed, are certainly continu-
ously grateful for the privilege,
and are surely willing to guard the
rights invested, most diligently.
This is a blessing no war can erase,
we shall see to that ever faith
fully.
Humility has not been professed
by enough, but such was necessary
in formulating the original COL
onies. Universal love has not been
INDUCED in enough by the ma
jority, to have proven itself eff
fective, since man has permitted
intolerance through prejudice to
overcome his good judgment. That
was another of the attributes of
the early Pilgrims. Harmony and
unity must be added to make a
nation great, to work for the good
of all. None of these conditions
have changed since 1921. Have
the people themselves?
There is great significance to
today's Thanksgiving Day, since

THE CLOTHES PROBLEM

To bolster feminine spirit, keep
ing fit and fashionable has been
mentioned as beneficialto all con-
cerned. A recent dispatch from
Ceylon tells of what can happen
to morale when the clothes prob
lem gets beyond help. In south
ern Burma, cloth is SO scarce since
they have had no imports for two
years, that in some instances an
entire family will have only one
sarong, and so they share it among
themselves, wearing it on alternate
days! In other cases, village
bellies have committed suicide be-
cause they had no clothes to wear.
And still over here we have our
trend of fashion, changing with
the seasons, our ladies cosmetic
display as varied and profuse as
ever, the shoe closet flaunting its
numbers in many styles and coll
ors in spite of rationing. No Ken
newick. girl need bewail her lot.
But haven't you heard some wom-
en- say, IF I don't get something
new to. wear I think I'll die?

This man Guy LaFollette, who
writes our special column about
the State" specializing on the
doings at Olympia, is filling up
his space this week with a moan
about the terrible threat of 300
foot weed patch along the pro-
posed federal super highways. We
think he's a little off the beam.
Washington takes great pride in
its highway system and if we have
a 3OO-foot right of way, it'll turn
out to be a 3O0-foot beauty spot,
for that's the way we do things in
Washington.

the evils of bigotry, cruelty and
poverty have been felt by a
sorry world this past year. But
for these things which we can
not help; we will not aggravate
by adding to them through lack
of appreciation of the profound

by the people of Kennewick, and
our deep gratitude we are de-

We think it would be a good
thing if some of the people who
are exempt from military service
were given a stretch in the army.
They seem to have the idea that
since the rules exempt them from
the service that this is not their
war and that they can continue
to live as usual. They make no
sacrifices that they are not forced
to make and appear to have little
appreciation of the sacrifices being
made by others in their behalf. A
good stretch in the service might
help to make better citizens of
them,

The earlier hours of darkness
makes it even more apparent that
householders should leave their
porch lights on. Many are burn

good sense to the idea. We are

An important Senate leader said
privately that bill probably could

futile TO attempt passage unless
the House shows signs of changing
