NOW THEY KNOW
HOW THE FARMER FEELS

Consumers who recently had the
coupons in their food ration books
summarily invalidated, can appre.
ciate the problem that. faces the
farmer under 81 varieties of regu.
lations and restrictions.
Ordinarily the farmer plans pro.
duction schedules in advance. In
vestments in crops are made on
the basis of probable prices al
harvest time. Long experience
with the laws of supply and de-
mand teach the farmer what he
must grow if he is to stay out o.
bankruptcy. At least that is the
way the farmer operated before
the age of regulation and subsi-
dies descended upon him. Now
like the consumer, he knows not
what to expect next. A govern
ment directive may cut his acre
age, reduce prices when his crop
is ready to harvest, or put him
out of business. It is not a pleasant
way to live. @~"s..

Senior Ball This Year
Outstanding Social Event

From all reports this years
senior ball was one of the out
standing events of the schools
year. Elaborate preparations were
made in advance and the recrea-
ton hall at the housing project,
where the event was given was
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion, the theme this year being
"Stardust.'
Mrs. Virginia Hanson and Mrs.
Edith Mccoy served punch. Mr..
and Mrs. Clyde Higley were pat
ron and matron. Mr.. and Mrs. E.
S. Black, Robert Milligan, Ray
Normile and some other parents
were present Gertrude Keene and
Mary Ellen Dickinson were host
esses. LeVelle Keller and Marcia
Edsal sold tickets. Mrs. Gladys
Woldt and Miss Estelle Swenson
are the Senior class advisors.
More than 80 persons were
present and the evening was en-
joyed by all. The Seniors of AS
feel that their ball was very sue
ceSSful.

BURLESOUE ON
GOVERNMENT

In all the talk about manpoWer
shortage, one fact stands out
clearly-under the present labor
monopoly in the United States
men are prevented from working
unless they first pay to get their
jobs. If you don't believe this, try
to get a job in war industry.
No American citizen should be
forced to join any organization,
whether it be labor, religious or
political, before he can earn his
living. Allowing labor unions to
remain outside the laws which
regulate all business corporations,
while collecting millions of dollars
in dues, is a travesty on justice
and a burlesque on governments
Such tyranny within so-called
free country cannot be continued
without ultimately leading to die
tatorship by either labor bosses,
political bosses, or both. Freedom
flies out of the window when a
man must get permission of an
other man to earn his daily bread.

The news of the black markets

came as a shock to the people of
this country. While their opera
tons are no different or no worse
than are being carried on by
thousands of people in this coun-
try who are holding up their
heads in their communities as law
abiding. citizens, news of them
does cause a greater shock. With
so many men in uniform it is
not to be wondered at that there
should be small percent of law
violators included among them.
The law violation consist Of a
theft by American soldiers of gas

and their sale through French

practices during the occupancy OF
France by the German soldiers.

CANNING REPORT

In the Department of Agricul-
lures report on canning and pre-
serving for the past year, it
appears that in cities of $4,000 or
over, 81 per cent of the families
put up fruits and vegetables. This
is not as good as in smaller towns
where 70 per cent of the house
wives canned. Those rustics who
had an idea that city folks used
the can opener and the corner
delicatessen store to get away
from the rigors of preserving, are
wrong. Seems there is a nation
wide urge to take advantage OF
the produce when the saeson is
at hand and the gardens yield
their abundance. Here is a note
of interest to Kennewick women,
that where farm Gamers report 8
per cent spoilage, the city Gamer
has only per cent. We won't
attempt to give a reason since we
can't figure out the answer. Well
let the local housewives work
on it. p. .......s" #z.t.

The construction of dams on
the upper courses of the rivers of
this country has been proposed as
q flood prevention measure. The
purpose of the dams would be
to hold back the rainfall and re-
lease it gradually as the lower
river channel could handle it.
Singularly enough the plan in
variably meets with vigorous op-
position on the part of those living
in the area in which it is proposed
the dams be built. The reason
given is that the dams take out
of production many acres of fer.
tile lands. AS a result each year
the water coming down from these
areas causes the rivers to over
flow along the lower course of the
channel doing hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars damage and piling
up damage relief bills. All sorts
of plans for controlling the flood
waters without disturbing anyone
are resorted to, but none of them
work. Each year the rains and the
costly floods are repeated.

DARKEST BEFORE
THE DAWN :

The close of 1914 did not find
the Allies in full possession of
previously captured territory, but
closed with the armies trying to
stem the forward push and in
creased resistance of the enemy.
Our reports are varied, our final
news must be awaited with
patience as the soldiers continue
to push back the offender. This
situation should remind the over
confident that the war with Ger
many is not over, she is not yet
defeated and victory in Europe
was not ours by 1945! Germany
has been refreshing her worn
troops, has been recognizing her
armies with seasoned veterans
escaping from France and Finland.
She has picked weather to aid
her, used surprise element to
hope to strike fear into the Allied
ranks. Don't forget that space
during World War I when Ger
many seemed lost, when in a
march she tore into us with a re-
newed energy that it seemed i'm
possible. Putting everything she
had into a big push, the Allies
feared they were going to lose the
war. But the collapse that followed
was quick and to the point!
Naturally, it is hard for us to
face facts about losses, since we
are a nation that expects to al
ways be victorious. Win every
battle? That is not according to
history nor would it be good for
us to become so cock-sure and
confident. Of course we will suffer
reverses, are having them, losing
men as we momentarily lose
ground, but we will not lose conf
dence. Our men are fighting just
as hard, success will come and is
coming. The duties on the home
front are still requiring energy
and loyalty from all of us. The
going is rough but we will even
tually defeat the enemy, though
the end is not yet here. s...

A JOLT TO
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE

It is unfortunate that OPA saw
fit to cancel without notice the
ration points also that housewives
had been so religiously conserv-
ing. It was, in effect, the breaking
of contract. Millions of women
had been saving their points to
use only if needed, as they under
stood the points were goodaln-
definitely. The person who saved
was therefore penalized.
On top of this, business suspen-
sion" orders were asked by OPA
for stores alleged to have sold
goods in violation of the new reg
ulation, when the only informa-
ton the stores had on the sweep
ing changes was from news stories.
In specific. cases in Portland,
Oregon, the attorney for food
stores said: Enforcement officials
of the local OPA had previously
advised these operators that they
were not being run by the news
papers and that only their own
releases were official and that no
changes were to be made until
official notice had been given by
the OPA." a.- 49,.
Such tactics seem to be an in
evitable part of bureaucracy which

and parcel of wartime controls

THEY WANT THEM

It is a mighty good business,
the one of editing the slap, bang
comic magazines that are read by
more than seventy million children
and adults, with twenty million
of such books sold monthly. Learn
the alphabet from "Superman
and sentence structure from "Dick
Tracy" It looks like it, from the
increasing popularity of these
publications. Action is the appeal
in the comic books, including guns,
planes, gangsters, autos, flyers.
There are actually some educators
who say they are helpful reading
since the readers are not trying
to escape from reality! Even so,
there are too many Kennewick
youngsters who will miss some
mighty good times with robin
