NEWS FROM HOME
We are aware in Kennewick of the great interest with which the young men in our armed forces receive their home town paper. Comment reaches us locally and nationally of the appreciation of the boys in getting home town news. Many papers send free copies to the boys, others can give reduced rates, but we are glad to know that however he gets it, the home town publication looks mighty good to Johnny Doughboy.
One chap says it is better than getting a letter from home because as far as news is concerned, he gets more of what's going on in the county. It is a tribute to the paper and every editor is going to try and make news as interesting as possible and give as much of it as there is space.
