Patience

Kennewick people can not at
least be accused of a lack of pa
tience. For more than twenty
five years local boosters have been
working toward the establishment
of the KenneWick Irrigation dis
trict to turn our desert lands into
a paradise.
During that time they have seen
the completion of the other four
districts in the Yakima project.
They have seen Roza and Sunny
side water coming within twenty
miles of Kennewick. They have
seen the construction of Coulee
and Bonneville dams. They have
seen the huge Columbia Basin
project, whic hwill water a mil
lion acres, win approval and ap-
preparation. Work is starting now
on the irrigation phase Of the
project.
They have seen the develop
ment and irrigation Of numerous
projects in neighbpring states.
Now that our own project seems

Give

Giving to various causes seems
to have become a very definite
part of living in America. And
yet, deep in our hearts, we know
that the giving is necessary. In
recent weeks we have been call
ed upon to give to the Red Cross,
the March of Dimes, the Anti
tuberculosis League, the Clothing
Collection and other causes.
Kennewick people for the most
part have responded generously
in each case. Do you as an in
dividual, regret a penny that you
have given? You wish you could
give more!
During the month of April we
will be asked to give again. The
American Cancer society is ask
ing for a. fund of $12,OOO,oOO. On
a national scale that is a modest
request. OF all funds raised 60
per cent stays with the state with
40 per cent to be used by the ma
tional foundation, largely for re-
search work.
Let no one under estimate the
ravages of cancer. No one knows
a great deal about it. But it is
known that it strikes one out of
eight people, that it must be de-
tected in early stages, that science
alone can solve the mystery of
its cause and cure.
To that end the same American
scientists that developed the
Atomic bomb are working on the
problem. IF it can be solved they
can do it with your help.

 International Revenue authorities In Hartford today stated that the liens do not change the picture" at this tune,
 "The move is mere formality, Thomas P. 0riffen Asst. Collector, said. We are simply insuring our- Selves"
 Asked what specific liquid assets the liens covered. Mir. Griffin de- elared All up to the amount stated
 Internal Revenue holds precedent over similar liens now being pro. ceSsed in court in behalf of the Clt- izens Good Government Association of Waterbury and now assumed by City, of Waterbury. This is in amount Of $60o,o0o.
 The precedent arises from similar liens first placed on file against the former comptroller by the Govern ment April l7, l940 In total amount of $37o.26l. This represented $205,- $40 in alleged unpaid income taxes and $l64, ,4Sl in additional penalties for the years 1888, 34 and, 35. The filing date marks but a matter of a few weeks following Leary's es- cape. Similar liens were placed in Middlehury, Hartford and Texas for the years 1886 and 1887. The Mid- dlebury lien was on the Summer property owned there by the former comptroller, the Hartford lien against insurance policies he owned and the Texas lien against oil wells in which he was the principal own CT.
 The spokesman for Internal Rev. enue said today that to his know ledge mo other lieps than those filed in Waterbury and Middlebury today were acted upon"
 The City's attachment is against stocks in the Waterbury Trust Co.,, Diamond Ginger Ale O., and the Waterbury Brewing Company.
 The liens are in accordance with Sections 3670, 3671 and 3672 of the Internal Revenue Laws. The alleged amounts due include interest and penalties.

 Proclamation Issued
 Day Red OFoss
 Campaign Opens

Mayor John s, Monagan today issued a proclamation urging the cogamunity's full support of the Red Gross fund campaign underway to- day.
 "ThA Red Gross stands as e sym- bol of benevolenee and charity and should stand as an expression of universal brotherhood" the Mayor said In the statement,
 The proclamation follows;
 During the war the American Red Gross assumed manifold oblig- ations to our servicemen, These services included caring for the wounded and sick in hospitals, pros viding entertainment and relaxation for those stationed in distant colin- tries and providing Q swift means of correspondence between men at the front and families at home, Al- though the shooting war has ceased, the maintenance of our Army in this transitional period demands the continuance of these vital Serv- lees, The Red Cross must also con- tlnue It's normal peace time program of bringing aid to victims of catas- trophe, carrying on tralning courses to combat sickness and accident,
 Because of its diSinterested hu- manitarian objectiveS, the Re d Cross has stood as q symbol of char ity and benevolence, Tn this diff cult period 1t Is vital that the serv- ices of the Red Cross be continued, It is even more necessary that this organization should continue to stand as an expression of universal brotherhood.
 WOW, THEREFORE,, I, JOHN S. MONAGHAN, Mayor of the City of Waterbury, Connecticut, do hereby designate the month of March, l9A6 as Red Cross Month. and urge every citizen of this country to respond to the utmost of his ability in sup- port of this indispensable humani- tartan cause.
 TN WITNESS THEREOF, have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Waterbury, Connecticut to be affixed on this twenty-seventh day of (ebruary, in the year of our Lord nineteen hun dred and forty-six."
