Ruthie and Herbie Face
Christmas Minus 2 Gifts

"Ruthie" and "Herbie" are fac
ing Christmas morning without
two of their gifts. The gifts are
being held in the postoffice here
for lack of address.
Here's what happened: Two
Christmas wrapped packages
were contained in an outer wrap
ping of butcher paper. The oiled
surface of the butcher paper ap-
parently is allergic to glued la
bels for the mailing label had
come off. There was no other
mark on the outside of the pack
age. The postmaster opened the
package in hopes of finding some
kind of identification.
However, inside were the two
packages addressed ITO Herbie
from Jimmy and Mary" and ITO
Ruthie from Jimmie and Mary"
The postmaster is anxious to help
Santa Claus deliver the packages
in time for Christmas and hopes
someone will come forward with
the proper address.

Kennewick hotel and the Pol
lyanna cafe fell victims to fire

Fire started in the Pollyanna
At SIS am. Saturday in a re-
frigerator. A great amount Of

~ burned that Il fell to pieces
when moved.
Fire was discovered by the
night patrolman and by residents
Of the apartments upstairs.
During the noon hour Monday
fire was discovered in the base
ment OF the Kennewick hotel.

tionally heavy and resulted In

been developed to its present
state in times Of peace and used
first for peaceful ends the feeling
of the world today towards it
would be much less fearful.
And it will thus fulfill its
purpose in our world through its
constructive and useful develop
ment. We must believe that. Men
Of good will can make it so and
must make it 50.
The most of us will live to see
this come to pass. There Is q d.
vine purpose that shapes our
ends. We must not forget the
design Of God in the words
which still live in our world: 'sHe
will not fail nor be discouraged
until he has set justice in the
earth, and the islands shall wait
for the law" Righteousness
shall cover the earth as the wa
tiers cover the sea-" "All power
is given unto me, in heaven and
on EARTH" said this Christmas
Christ.
We have every right to believe
in ourselves and our God-ordain-
ed destiny. To deny this is to de-
ny the faith. And the God that
made our world and set it in mo-
ton still has his hand upon the
controls.

Modern Rusiler
Caught In Act

Plane stealing is the latest YER
sion of the old boss theft. It
seems no more profitable although
it is not expected that the modern
rustlers fate will be quite as abb
rupt.
A plane was flown into the Ken
newick airport Wednesday that
had been stolen Sunday from the
Gle Elum airport. It had been
recovered at Touchet.
The thief is reported to be a
former employee of the Gle Elum
airport. The plane has been re-
painted with all numbers and i'd
ratification BACKED out. It is be-
lieved that me "rustlers" had gone
to the field Sunday when no one
was in attendance and had paint
ed the ship there before taking OF.
The man is being hello by the
Walla Walla county sheriff. The
owner of the ship and another
flyer came down Wednesday to
return the plane.

City councilmen Tuesday night
discovered that there Is q Santa
Claus after all. A letter was read
to the council in which McAtee
and Heath volunteered to cancel
q bill for $500 for extra material
used in improving Kennewick av.
enue during the past summer.
Basis for this offer was the fact
that the contractors felt they had
caused the city considerable in
convenience during the period the
street was torn up.
It will be remembered that the
first Job Of surfacing was unsuc-
cessful due largely to weather
conditions. However, McAtee and
Heath repaired the damage at
their expense and the final job
was considered highly satisfac-
tory. The council accepted the Of
fer and instructed the city attor-
ney to express its appreciation
to the company.
Two bids were opened and ac-
cepted by the council for pur-
chase Of the city's lots between
Benton and Auburn streets. The

Lincoln Resigns
As Postmaster:
Two Candidates

Frank Lincoln, after complet-
ing ten years Of service as Ken
newick's postmaster, has resigned
that office to become effective
January /. Mr.. Lincoln states
that he has enjoyed the most
pleasant relations with people Of
the community and it is only be-
cause Of his health that he has
decided to retire from the ardu-
Gus job.
Two contenders have tossed
their hats into the ring seeking
the appointment to fill the vac
ancy. They are Roger Records
and Ace Purdy, both widely
known and long time residents
here.
The appointment will be made
in Washington by the Postmaster
Generals office. However, that
office depends upon recommended
tons Of the Congressional repre-
sentatives. Both aspirants have
been busy this past week seeking
personal endorsements from in
dividuals in the city.
With the prospect Of alloca-
ton Of funds for new postoffice
in Kennewick in the near future
that issue is prominent in dis
cussions Of the topic. Both cam
didates have pledged to do all in
their power to aid in securing
the much needed new building.
In recent years the postal bus
mess here has grown tremndous-
ly resulting in the designation of
first class office. Mr.. Lincoln
reports that the business has held
up very near to the peak during
the Hanford construction period.

Rural Fire DEBT
Discussed Here

A rural fire district is a topic
receiving much discussion these
days and plans are going ahead
for its establishment. The Valley
and Highland Oranges have COM
mittees working on details.
During the war period sys.
tenn of mutual aid has been OPP
erative. However, it may be ruled
soon that it is not proper to take
city equipment outside Of the
city for fire fighting and to do so
might endanger fire protection
ratings.
Kennewick at the present time
has a sixth class rating. Demo-
ton to seventh class would result
in higher insurance rates.
To establish a rural district
equipment would have to be Sc
cured. A fire truck should be
equipped to carry 900 to 500 gal
Ions of water. The equipment
may be housed at any point in
the district but il Is believed that
il would be most feasible to
keen il in Kennewick inasmuch
az roads lead Ill directions from
town. The new fire station was
hunt to provide room for an ex-
tra truck. In addition it would
be feasible to use the city's fire
alarm system. The rural district
would Be required to man its
own eauipmse X Z -
During the paSf Var years Il
was mandatory for fire depart
ments to send equipment where
ever needed. In the case Of rural
fires It was left to the Fire CHIEF
and the Mayor to decide when
to send equipment. The Kenne-
wick department has made num-
erous rural calls and have aided
IN fighting bigger fires at mill
tAry Installations.
Everything outside the actual
city limits would come under the
rural system. This would include
the Green Homes addition and
the neighborhood around Brem.

BY REV. JOHN b. CoAN

Mote: In observing the anni-
versary of the birth Of the
Prince of Peace, the question
has been raised as to the part
Of the development Of the at
omic bomb in relation to the
Christian principles Of Peace
on Earth. For that reason Rev.
Coan was asked to prepare q
special article on that subject0
What about the atomic bomb
and civilizations end? I have
been asked to briefly give answer
to that question.
The hearts of men have been
filled with a vague sense Of fear
since the word was given to the
world Of the vast destructive
possibilities resident in the con-
trolled release of nuclear energy.
It was unfortunate that this
came about in q time Of war
and was first used as q weapon
in war. For that reason the peo-
pies and nations have become
fearful that its powers may be
used or misused for destructive
purposes until they wreck and
annihilate civilization itself.
We have witnessed in our gen
Grafton the development Of ma
chimes and chronological advance
beyond anything ever dreamed.
In fact the march of science has
been with rapid strides.
The moral and spiritual re-
sources which must ever preside
over the controls Of progress have
not kept pace with the destruc-
tive possibilities which accom-
pany all lines Of progress. Men
have made machines which hold
terrible possibih, les unless they
are always under strong and
wise and moral control.
But have faith in the Unborn
wisdom and morality Of mankind
when it can be given intelligent
expression. also believe in a
God directed plan in our uni
verse. These things have been
here in our world all the time.
God created them and the laws
by which they operate.
Scientific progress is merely
an uncovering Of the forces, facts
and operations of the things
which God has provided. There
is nothing new in the world, on
~ forces, facts and processes
newly discovered.
Individuals and groups have
always had the powers Of self
destruction close at hand. And
mad men and bad men have Of
ten used these against themselves
or against others. And good men
and wise men have often had to
use the same in their defense.
But we must keep faith with
God our Maker and with the as
piring good in the soul Of man.
kind. OF course there is nothing
left but fear and stark terror
when this faith is lost.
