Three weeks ago the Kennewick
schools decided to cooperate with
the intention of selling enough
us. bonds and stamps to buy a
jeep but after the first stamp
sale in the elementary school spon-
sored by the local Parent Teacher
Association, so much interest was
evidenced that the pupils advanc-
ed their goal. They felt that ii
would be possible to sell enough
to buy an amphibian jeep OF
"quack."
Now with the combined efforts
of all Kennewick students and
the help of interested people out
side of the school enough money
has been taken in from the sale
of bonds and stamps to pay for 9
quack and two jeeps for gooc
measure. The elementary schoo
through the Parent Teacher Asso'
citation has purchased $2,l21.4t
worth of bonds and stamps while
the Junior and senior high schoo
has purchased a total of $685. 81
through the Hi-Y organization
making a total amount actually
received of $4,753.00 cash.
Since the original goal has beer
far surpassed the school will Sc
other and higher goals to attemp
to reach. Again the school soil

Switch Board
Bob Brown sells inter-

of A. F. Brown purchased the To-
cal telephone company and have
since operated the plant. This
week Bob sold his interests to his
brothers, Burns and Mark, who
will continue to operate. Bob has
been with the company since 1888,
but the other two brothers have
more recently become active in the
operation. Bob plans to 60 wheat
farming. a longtime ambition.
The company is adding an adj
ditional switchboard to the local
central office, to speed up the in
creasing number Of calls going
through the exchange. Because
of the gas shortage and an increas-
ing general business, Mgr. Burns
Brown figures there has been a
general increase in the use of the
individual phones of about 20 per-
cent within the past year. The
extra board will permit four oper-
ators to work at time, instead of
the three who have recently been
on the board.
The new directory, just off the
press, will be ready for delivery
next week, as soon as the book
is bound. While there is not a
substantial increase in the number
of phones, many of them have new
numbers and the company is urg-
ing a strict use of the directory as
soon as it has been delivered.

NATIONAL. MARTIAL LAW?

theoretically, 1t would PRACTICAL
ly declare national martial law on
all the people to- make a few work
and this in nation whose pro-
duction (work) is already so good
that Mr.. Roosevelt justly brags it
is the best in the world.
You can see this clearly by a
detailed study of the -empow-
ering the President by proclama-
ton to move anyone anywhere
away from his home into any other
job at any rate of pay Chat is, any
one except federal, state, county,
and local officials, including bu-
reaucrats who ar exempt along
with pregnant mothers and those
with minor children, and the 9TH
er established military exemptees,
although I do not see clergymen
exempD.
y, The urge for this thing is the
of drafting the soldier,
rot even there do the proponents
propose justice in lieu thereof. A
drafted soldier has his whole life
provided by the federal govern
ment. Il
Nothing comparable is promised
the civilian draftee. He can be
uprooted from his home, sent
across the country to work in a
held at half the salary or less
and all the government would give
MN is transportation and a polite
invitation to the draft boards to
area to which he is sent. It
would only equalize present injus-
consider housing conditions in the
uces by creating more.
In short, its theory is to absorb
the human being completely into
state totalitarianism. Mr.. Roose-
Feits pen slipped badly when he
wrote congress:
National service is the most
democratic way to win war" #..
II proposes final abandonment
OF civilian democratic independ-
ence. Its theory is that of both
fasclsm and Communism, bu,
pears no slight resemblance to that
VI democracy which espouses vol.
untry contributions of effort and
Individual freedom of patriotic
conscience.
IL would leave the deepest sea,

CIVILIAN DRAFT BILL
Co.'s TOO FAR
By PAUL MALLON

week after Mr.. RoOSeVelt,S
demand for a civilian draft bill,
his floor leader Barley had not
emitted a word of approval. His
leaders on the house side went
further and assured newsmen, off
the record, the bill would not be
Nd. .>..-.,.s + {.
XiRdeed, the prevailing congress
sional suspicion seems to be that
the President possibly had entered
upon promotion of the bill Tin his
message, at leasD to remove the
curse from his record on the strike
situation. In any event, the bill
will not be even seriously consid-
cred unless some manpower or
strike emergency arises, which the
leaders obviously do not expect.
Printed reaction out in the coun-
try was somewhat amazing. En-
dorsements came from conserva-
tive Commentators largely = but
also from the Bridges Communist
controlled longshoremen's union
on the Pacific coast. When you
get Communists and conservatives
together, you may be sure someone
is being fooled.
The reaction of the man in the
street, as I get it conversationally.
was likewise surprisingly approx
ing. People generally hate strikes
and sympathize with the unequal
position of the soldier with the
war worker. They are irrefutably
right in these positions.
But, in their righteous wrath,
they are apt to be misled into es-
pousing remedy far more unjust
than the injustices they want to
cure. Few of them have studied
the bill and understand what it
: would do to them and the country
Ggress knows.
10 me. it seems as unjustified as
using an axe to eliminate a fly
speck on glass, and in this case.
the glass is the final container of
individual human rights, individ-
ual iberty-all that we are fight
ing for and including our "way
of ife"-in favor of male and
female enslavement to the state
for war reasons that are not ap-
parent to all-including congress.

Comments on Liquor Arrests.
Commenting on the police reports
showing II minors were arrested
for drunkenness in public places
here in the last fiscal year, as
against 40 in the previous year, 81
in 1941, 13 in 1910 and 18 in 1899,
Mr.. D'Alesandro said:
while I am not a prohibitionist,
do not approve of children drink
Ing liquor.
1T seems to me that with n
minors arrested for intoxication in
public places spread on the police
records there should have been II
cases brought before the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, looking to
action for revocation.
IF this had happened in Balti-
more there would have been II
license revocations."
Two Revelations in Year.
Annual reports of the ABC Board
showed that during the last fiscal
year it had revoked two licenses and
had ordered suspensions ranging
from several days to two weeks in
the cases of 46 licensed places.
In the last four fiscal years and
during the first half of the present
fiscal year, the board revoked 81
licenses and ordered suspensions in
the cases of 304 others.
Maj. Kelly also forwarded to Mr..
D'Alesandro reports from Capt.
Rhoda J. Milliken, director of the
Police Women's Bureau, listing five
liquor establishments in which
women accompanied by babies or
small children were seen.
Mr.. DAlesandro remarked that
while the practice did not appear
to be very widespread Il believe that
both the Police Department and the
Liquor Board should check up more
closely on conditions in the beer
parlors for violations of the law and
regulations"
Capt. Milliken had told the COM
mittee she believed the women who
take their children to beer parlors
constitutes but a small part of the
Juvenile delinquency problem.
Two Cases Cited.
Capt. Milliken also transmitted
one formal police report regarding
two white girls, ages of 10 and
years, found by police Thursday
after midnight in Southeast beer
parlor looking for their mothers.
THE children had been there and
at other of the mothers haunts and
are quite familiar with the terri
tory" said Capt. Milliken. 1T is not
necessary to explain to you that this
is the type of person who does this
sort of thing and not the average
mother any more than the average
mother is represented among the
intoxicated women we take care of
year after year"

what was right and what wrong. Doubters raised
piercing questions: Was it not sometimes right
to hit back? Were all elders deserving of respect?
When they got through. however they had a code
of which John d. Rockefeller Jr,, said: The best
thing of its kind have ever seen. That the school
children themselves should have conceived and
phrased this code is beyond praise"
They kept the code brief and concise. so it could
be printed on small cards. and distributed the cards
through the schools for individual signatures.
Having agreed on the fundamental rules for the
streamlned code. they decided also to have the COM
mlttee 60 to work on more complete manual apply
ing the code to situations in life Thus they
will have their rules for behavior in the home

They're Only Human
NATURALLY they aren't all going to live up to the
