galaxy in which the
earth is situated - is,
in general terms, flat.
our galaxy has been

TRY A SALAD

TRY A SALAD -
Many of us in Kennewick never
have to be urged to eat our salad,
for we like our green stuff that
way and not just because we are
getting those highly touted vita
minis, either. Mainly a salad is
something very special and when
it is even put into verse, surely
its station is elevated above many
other foods. The art of salad max
ing is one that has left pert words
flying, especially with regard to
the dressing used on same. The
Spaniards use this proverb that
might carry weight to our readers:
ga miser for vinegar and spend
thrift for oil". There is the school
of garlic users who apply the to-
mato abundantly, those persons
who insist that that a touch OF
sugar gives dressing added flavor
and others who cry against such
sacrilege. Spring green's offer us
wide range and with an eye to
health and another to taste, if ever
our gourmet's taste is to be salts
fled, these are now our salad
days..

THE FIFTH DRIVE

From June 1 to 26 we subscribe
TO the nations fifth war loan drive.
The goal is SIG billion and that is
So billion higher than the fourht
drive for bonds. Since war ex-
penses for the first three months
of IA were over $23 billion, it gives
us an idea of how much is needed
to keep going. From all indica-
lions of the money being spent to-
day for non-essentials, the bond
drive should be over subscribed.
if these spenders get wise. If
money is to be circulated, for
what better purpose than in a gov
eminent bond, to protect the lives
of our sons and the destiny of
our country? War demands much
of all of us in KenneWick. But
chaps over there are more anxious
to get back home to chicken on
Sunday with the family, chance
to haunt the corner drugstore, an
opportunity to yell at the baseball
umpire, trip to favorite fish
ing spot. Give them chance by
helping to buy their ticket back
home, with. your purchase of a
war bond. -

THEY KNOW-TOO WELL

A popular conversation piece is
whether men in the armed forces
really know what they are fighting
for, why this war in which they
risk their lives. Some critics may
risk their lives. Some critics say
many soldiers are not even con-
cerned with the reasons. This is
purely guessing as there is no
way to cover the general thought
of the mass of fighting men. II
this condition does exist, as some
say, have we read of loss of ground
to the enemy due to soldiers not
knowing why they were fighting?
We doubt if such state of think
ing would affect their determine
ton to defeat an enemy. A thought
that pops into Kennewick heads is,
how can soldier state definitely
the aims, cause, plans of war when
back here at home in this pro-
tected land where we have more
ease for thought, with radio, press,
platform to help us cogitate on the
principles, we haven't it ironed
out in our own minds, either! So
we ought to send experts" over
seas to inform our fighters as to
why, strikes us that there would
be heap of discussion as to just
who is an expert. No, we aren't
worrying much about soldiers and
sailors being weighted down with
this question of why. It is our
guess that thew know their conn
try is in danger. They have it
figured to protect their citizenship,
their loved ones, from an enemy.
Basically,. isn't this enough of a
reason to battle? And what they
plan to do about it is to get the
business over as quickly as pos
sible and come on home. Doesn't
that make sense?' Let's figure out
the aims, procedures and so on, Of
this war, before we try to en-
tighten the chaps who are fighting

The alacrity with which Con-
gress set about making changes in
the income tax blanks shows that
the people can get things done in
Congress if they make their wants
known in sufficient number and
voice them loud enough. The
power of the ballot makes itself
shown nowhere more than in Con-
gress. The voice from back home
if it is backed up by the ballot can
make itself heard in the remotest
retreats of official Washington
and that is another good thing
about our kind if government.

There may be other effective
means of turning off a lot of work

of none that beats the simple rule
of tackling the most difficult job

suggestion is more than trite
truism. There is sound logic
back of it. BY tackling the tough
