PAGZ FOU3 Zhm CZZGOn CTAimiAH. Cdaza Oregon. T7as3ay lMnrr.Tns, norac&er 2 66m GOD u-r.jj-7 fThe FestiTe Bird ! lit Benjamin Franklin had had his wax the turkey would have been the bird on the na 1 tional emblem and, presumably, on the dollar. Ben and several others in congress, back ; in 1782, favored the wild turkey over tlte bald eagle but couldn't convince the majority. No doubt the majority was right. It wouldn't be Quite proper to name as the national bird on destined to get it in the neck. Nevertheless the turkey is a native Ameri- can and just at this. Thanksgiving season, like wise strictly an American institution, one leans toward the opinion that Ben and his associates did have their way after all. About the only place one encounters the eagle is on a coin, which doesn't in these times remain in posses sion long enough for appreciative scrutiny. On the other hand the turkey does play an import ant role in American life. By coincidence, just at this season when we are turkey-conscious, there comes to our desk a. bulletin issued by the Oregon State college extension service entitled "Oregon Specialty Animal Industries" in which it is set forth that Oregon farmers' income from such industries Increased from barely over five million dollars in 1938 to nearly eight million in 1941 and most of the gain is attributable, to the higher prices paid in the latter year for turkeys, though the income of fur and game farms ; in the same period increased from $485,000 to $850,000 and apiary products maintained some of their recent gains despite low production in 1941. Bees, though, bring in only around $82, 000 a year. The turkey income amounted to about $6,860,000, compared to $4,607,000 in 1940. It may or may not add anything to our en joyment of thefestive bird tomorrow, to real ize that Marion county has become Oregon's leading turkey-producing county. . As recently as 1940, Marion was third behind Linn and Lane though the margin was slim. But last yearMarion county produced 202,000 turkeys compared to 195,000 for Lane and 187,000 for Linn, and Marion county farmers realized at the average 24.5 cents a pound price, a cash in come from the sale of turkeys of $810,000. You can see that if this year's production equaled last year's there are, or were before shipment started, about two and two-thirds turkeys per capita in Marion county. So cut yourself a generous slice of white meat and leave the neck for whoever prefers it. i '4 I. Delicate Operation 1 Thanks to diplomacy of the sort Teddy Roosevelt prescribed, Dakar and Martinique have lined up on "our side" without bloodshed. , On almost every front United Nations forces are making progress. The North Africa diver sion is, as predicted, relieving the pressure on the Russian front. Things are going well al ; most too well. But while they are going this way, no one is minded to criticize. Yet the public does like to be informed of the battlefront strategy when that is feasible. To put in another way, everyone likes to be able to "talk a good war." And the question has arisen in many minds, and been asked out loud i in some quarters: If Morocco and Algeria could i be taken at such slight cost, why wasn't the same operation extended to Tunisia, which is bound to be more costly ifwe take it at all? i All we know is what we read in the papers t but the answer, or most of it, is on the war f. maps. Bizerte, the man objective in Tunisia, is only 150 miles or so from axis air bases in "7" Sicily. That makes it a decidedly different mil itary problem from the occupation of Morocco and Algeria. - It is interesting in this connection to learn that months ago certain armchair strategists much better informed than most of us a group of retired military men in England had fore seen the North Africa venture and plotted its probable details. But among them there was a difference of opinion as to whether a proper balance between boldness and caution would permit any landings from the Mediterranean or would require that they be made only west of Gibralter. The problem was to get in and take everything possible, without giving the axis too . plain a club too early and thus inviting opposi tion which might be effective, from that quart er. These observers now are praising the move : as it actually was made, as one clearly involv ing the maximum of boldness under the exist- ing conditions. ;v- --vv"; -r - ' i t Subsequently there ha been a race to get the mostest men the fastest" into Tunisia. ; A race of this sort, as well as the one going on farther east where Rommel's remnant is being pursued across Libya, likewise involves a neat balance betwe&i strength and speed. A general can always get a few men to the objective quite speedily; getting an adequate force there for a large-scale battle Is a more complicated and more deliberate matter. v. . ' ' Winning battles' and : winning : wars in the , big league" where both sides are formidable and the immediate question always is the dis position of forces is, you see, a delicate opera tion upon which the laymen is poorly qualified , to pass judgment." All we know is that some of ' the real experts agree, this time, with those of us who can only watch the yardage sticks, that the United Nations generalship in this case was admirable.' Venereal Disease Report r p . In order to be of practical benefit in control of venereal diseases through publicity, the statistics thereof should be segregated by counties, it was contended by the Bend Bulle tin in a number of editorials over a period of months Whether the Bulletin finally con vinced the state health office, or whether that agency made the necessary arrangements ; on its own motion, we cannot say. At any rate the first such report reached our . desk early tills week. , . ' ' - : Assuming that the enumeration refers ; to r,3w cases, J.Iarion county's showing on the rcrcrt was favorable.

Yes, cases are to be expected in and around military camps but why none in Linn county and only one in Marion? 1 The figures 'look too pat; our suspicion Is that Benton and Jackson get those' black marks because all the cases In the military camps wen reported, whereas many of the cases handled by private physicians were not.

It's the old "escape" idea but without knowing the details of "Mr. Sycamore's" personal problem, one imagines a more effective method of withdraw ing from reality might be devised, than taking root in one spot There's not much security these days in being a tree, even a shade tree. Role of Synthetics After the War By ROBERT J. MOORE Portions of an address prepared for delivery at New York Herald Tribune Forum on Current Problems.) Chemical engineering during the last ten or fif teen years has had a tremendous impact, not only on the industrial and economic efficiency but also on our individual lives, our health and our progress. Pharmaceuticals and medicinals, of course, are appearing almost daily, but outstanding examples are the isolation and synthesis of -vitamins, hor mones and the life-saving sulfa drugs.' Public in terest reacted immediately when it was recently announced that para-amino benzoic acid is the anti gray hair vitamin. Synthetic fibers have their in dustrial uses, uses such as chemically resistant filter cloth and inert insulation. . . There are also wool-like fibers from milk casein and from many synthetic resins. Glass is spun through fine ori fices to make an extremely fine filament which is woven into silk-like, non inflammable textiles. This filament fineness may be visualized by the statement that a small ball of glass the size of a marble is drawn into a filament ninety miles long. Today huge industries depend on extracting the bromine and the magnesium held in sea water solu tion. On the bromine extraction we base our lightweight metal alloys. The percentage of each element present in sea water is almost infinites imal, and therefore the process treats huge quantities. ' Possibly of the greatest popular interest today are the chemical rubber-like materials. Here the public watches with intense interest the race of synthetic production versus the depletion., of our present supplies.; A race of many laboratory thor oughbreds, with Buna S. apparently the favorite heading a field including Thiokol, Resistoex, Neo prene, Butyl, Koroseal, Chemigun, Vistanex. and Pliofilm. Many of these have certain j Improved properties over natural rubber, especially in re sistance to oils and solvents. Many have shown sat isfactory wearing life in tires. - The next great war we must fight for survival is already being planned and munitioned in our chemical laboratories. This is the war of extermin ation against insects. It will be a chemical war. . The story of plastics has stimulated the enthus iasm of the chemists of our time. In 1907, Dr. Leo H. Baekeland, working in" his laboratory at Yonkers, NY, announced the harnessing of ; the phenol-formaldehyde reaction. That date is gen erally considered thi founding of the modern pias- ; tics industry. .; ! Perhaps the best-known uses are molded plas tics utilizing heat and pressure to produce an in- i finite number of products. You know them as the molded telephone hand-set and the distributor in automotive and air craft ignition systems; they ra -ge from bottle caps and closures to strategic military uses. Next to the molded plastics in common use are the so-called laminated materials where sheets of ' paper, textiles or other materials are resin-impreg- nated and treated under heat and pressure to give ' the infusible, water-resistant surfaces, and elec trical parts. .". Laminated material is stronger" than cast iron; has 90 per'cefit of the tensile strength of r aluminum at one-third its weight. - In sheeted form the synthetic resins! are daily finding new uses in clothing, in packaging, and as footwear materials of unusual resistance to abra sion and scuffing. They form the poison gas-resistant coatings of military raincoats or the bind- ! tags of our books. -The utilization of synthetic res- ; ins ii hosiery and other garments is a well-known story. All of these developments are straining at the leash which holds them to military uses. iThey J will leap forward as tremendous Industries as soon : as peace lets go the leash. l-;; f ; Today's greatt development is synthetic resin i plywood. Here they form the basis of the so-called plywood plane and .the glider streamlined to give J f speed in production as well as greatest speed in the : : air. Such resin-bonded plywood is the structural material of the FT torpedo boats and the great : cargo planes now being built by Mr. Kaiser and ;1 Mr. Hughes In making plywood, thin veneers of wood are placed together, alternating the grain of each ply at right angles to the adjourning ply. ; The synthetic resin glue, because of its strength and be- cause it is not affected by moisture, high humidity ; or fungi growth, has in the past few years rapidly displaced animal and vegetable glues. Huge sheets I are now fabricated and actually molded to curved -surfaces, so that one section eightyrfour feet long may be used for the side of a torpedo boat When the plies of wood are all glued in the same grain direction, we produce the extremely strong "lamin ated wood. The next step in wood utilization has been to impregnate the laminated wood with the . phenolic resin in the "B-stage"; then 'set it tinder heat and pressure. This gives the new develop- ment called compreg", which is the material of greatest weight-strength ratio, stronger than alloy steels.
