The Lord Helps Those -.

The Lord and the u. S. Government help those
who help themselves.
Nor will the state government, the Atomic En-
ergy commission, or any other branch Of govern
ment help Kennewick until our own energies are ex'
hausted
move more rapidly to help ourselves is reflected in
the action of the city council this week An engineer
has been hired to survey and advise on the city's
position both as to water and sewers.
- An action by the council Tuesday night to hire
fuIl-t;me expediter for city affairs was followed
quickly yesterday by meeting of committee to
find and hire such man.
Certainly both moves are in line with the dc.
mands and desires of Kennewick people to get
things done, in this critical period.
But the people of Kennewick must be alert to
every need, helpful towards solution, and work and
spend to the extreme limit of our capabilities And
even with that DONE and with the help OF epediters
and engineers with our multiplicity Of critical prob.
lens, It is probable that we will need the help OF
both the Lord and the U. s. Government.

Grape Vineyard of A. Morgan,
Guy w. Osborne Of Richland was
fined $3.50 in municipal court

Daylight Saving
Totally Defeated

The daylight saving time issue,
supported by the Kennewick
Chamber of Commerce by a vote

formation from Mayor Walter
Nelson of Pasco indicated that
Pasco would adopt the measure
If it received approval in Kenne-
