' "A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OP ITS COMMUNITY" GRANGER SINGS OF THANKSGIVING Whether this nation should give thanks this week or next is of little import to a poet, so Granger Fred Knox in a bit of verse com posed for the delectation of his Spencer creek neighbors sums up America's reasons for gratitude as follows: THANKSGIVING Joyful Thankfgiving once more you are nigh, With turkey and dressing and rich pumpkin pie. You're so truly American mrthinks you vie. As a close runner up with the Fourth ot July. The Pilgrims were first to ting your glad praises, For the bare fact their toes weren't turned up to the daisies. And thai they'd not croked from starvation or blizzards, Or wild Indian arrows plugged into their gizzards. If they could be grateful how much more should we, Who aro living in peace and security. We've wheat, silver and gold in great quantities, But blessing of blessings, we're thankful we're free. Just how we're to vote there's no armed guard to urge, We're free from the spy or the dictators purge. We vole for some one and if he's the bunk, The next time we vote, out he goes In the junkl We have schools and great parks free lo rich or to poor, Wide highways that lead u to mountains or shore, There are churches where each one can find him a pew, And worship his God, Turk, Christian, or Jew. Should we look to the sky there's the life giving sun, The friendly stars shine when the day's work Is done. In peace our proud cities, and country homes lie, Nor dread we the death bomb that's dropped from the sky. There nre some who think there's none like the Nazis, Others who loudly sing Red Stalin's praises. Let them go to the land for which they've a yearning, Let's grant them a ticket that reads no returning. The president proudly proclaims your great day, Soma holler, "Phooey," others, "Hooray." Some say, "He's wise, It's the best day at that," Others, "He's crazy, the turkeys ain't fat." Americans truly are blessed as nation, Attend we fat Thanksgiving's glad celebration. And when from the table we rise with a sigh, Thank God for OUR COUNTRY, OUR FLAG, AND OUR PIE. McGurk calls special attention to that climactic ending "for our country, our flag, and our pic." Old Barrett Wendell used to say that the Eli slogan "for God, for country and for Vale" was the most spectacular use of "anti-climax" in American literature. Mc Gurk claims Mr. Knox has achieved some thing even more dramatic. There are other countries and other flags, says McGurk but there is only one nation which can claim PIE. Mince or pumpkin? A slab of both, please! Comestible indigest idle but indispcnsible our pic is another of those ineffable symbols of our democracy. "For country, flag and PIE!" The poet has given us a mouthful. WASHINGTON LETTER QUIET ZONE FOR HOSPITAL Worthy of the serious attention of the city fathers is the request for a Quiet Zone adjacent lo the Eugene hospital where the goings and comings of the city's own ma chines from the parking yard beside the city hall create a rather difficult problem. Till Eugene is able to consider a new city hall or a police-fire headquarters which may not be till after the city is debt free in 1948 it will not be easy to keep a perfect control on noises. But perhaps a good deal can be done by having nil cms in as good mechanical con dition as possible and observing reasonable caution. So far as we know, automotive genius has not yet achieved a starter which is noise less. And in chilly weather it is difficult even with the best of equipment to prevent backfire and sputtering. The copper dash ing out on a hurry call cannot be expected to be too careful always, but we know the po lice will do all in their power to keep the noises to a minimum and so will the other employes of the city who use the parking lot. Nobody would willingly disturb the patients. You may remember when the city had a jail in the area between the city hall and hospital which was a frequent source of an noyance. That has been eliminated. Per haps it would not be too costly to build some kind of housing over the city's parking yard; it might even pay to keep cars out of the weather. At the least the council can order that starters and mufflers be kept in repair and post constant "Quiet Zone" reminders. We hope the lime is at hand when city police, state police, county deputies, jail, fire department and all afety services can be housed in one central building with one cen tral telephone and signal system. A location somewhere on the new highway with swift access to all part of town would be much better than the present city hall quarters. Though funds .re not available now, it might be a good idea to be plannins for this dr. velopment. By JOHN KELLY Register-Guard Washington Reporter WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 21 Public ene my of the orchards of the Pacific Northwest and villain of the Argentina trade treaty, is Henry F. Grady, who has advised Senators Schwcllenbach, Washington, and Senators McNary and Ilolman, Oregon, (also Senator Byrd, big apple grower of Virginia and brother of the explorer), that they should take a broad view of trade relations; that if Argentina cannot ship its apples and pears into United States the Argentines will have nothing to use for money with which to buy goods from the industrial cast. Or words to that effect. Do you know, the senators inquired of Grady, of the state department, that in 1930-31 the United States exported 66,800 bushels of pears to Argentina and in 1030-40 only S160 bushels? But in 1039 Ar gentla exported 1. 387.780 boxes of pears? Do you know that In 1930-31 United States ex ported 727,671 bushels of apples to Argentina while in 1930-40 export is down to 43,200 bushels? Yet in 1039 Argentina exported to the United States 849.284 boxes? Since 1930 pear exports from Argentina have Increased 33.7 times. And that Isn't all. For some reason the trans portation on a 44 pound box of apples or pears fromm Argentina to New York Is 60 cents, but transportation from New York to Argentina is 83 rents for apples and 75 cents for pears. Northwest fruit growers protest against Ar gentina sanitary restrictions against United States fruit. Mr. Grady answers that the senators have refused to modify the sanitary restrictions of beef from Argentina (Tabu was placed on Argentina beef on account of the hoof and mouth disease). Mr. Grady implies the senators should remove the restrictions on beef if they want the apples and pears given a clean bill of health. Here is how one government agency works against and nullifies the efforts of another, as the senators informed Grady: Each year Argentina has been dumping more apples and pears on the American market as the surplus of domestic fruit accumulates, and while Argentina has been en couraged to invade the United States market, Uncle Sam has been spending $1,240,497 to reduce the domestic surplus of pears and apples and give the fruit to the needy. Senators will insist (the result Is In doubt) that henceforth trade treaties be approved by the senate and not by the state department. Note Concessions on apples and pears have been made in 16 of the 18 trade agreements ne gotiated by the department of state. Each con cession had a more or less direct effect on the fruit industry of Oregon and Washington. It Isn't supposed to be known, hut according to whisper, overtures have been made to the Du ponts to establish a rayon or cellophane plant somewhere within range of Bonneville power. Principle ingredient of these products is wood and there Is an unlimited amount of the raw material available In the Pacific Northwest. Also in the "conversion" stage, discussion of of locating a plant to make beryllium, the master alloy, with the mineral known as beryl (name comes from Nero's monocle of beryl crystal) oc curlng in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Ne vada, and plenty of copper supplies from the same states. Only three of the 92 known ele ments In the world are lighter than beryllium and two of these are gases, hydrogen and helium. Ber yllium Is found in 34 metals, many of which are deposits in the Northwest region. Wage-hour administration has decided that placer mining In Oregon. Washington and Alaska Is a seasonal occupation and the 40 hour week does not npply. The ruling includes the gold dredge op erations and all open-cut mining but not where miners work underground. Another seasonal exemption from the law ben efits President Roosevelt. The cutting and ship ping of Christmas trees Is included in the ruling. The president Is carrying on that business as a side line to his administration of national affairs. He has a few acres of trees at Hyde Talk. Admiral Land, chairman of the United States Maritime Commission, says he is willing to have Portland Chamber of Commerce submit a pro posal for the establishment of a Columbia river oriental steamer service. The chamber has inti mated that local interests are willing to operate surh a service with a subsidy from the commission same arrangement as is being pursued with a Seattle-oriental service. The commission dickered with a Portland exporter but imposed such pro visions that the Portlandcr declined, with thanks. Admiral Land is now ready to study other proposi tions. Government probers have been adviser! tlml Mm big steel companies in the e;ist are "soaking" Ore gon. Washington and California by not charging on the cn.-t of production in the west, but on the eastern, price of steel plus transportation charges. The companies manufacture some steel on the Pa cific Coast, but charge as much for it as though it was manufactured in the east and then add freight. The monopoly committee is gathering data on the subject. AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH ny DR. MORRIS FISHP.K1N Editor. Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine The word anemia really means "without blood." It Is frequently used to describe not only cases in which the formation of blood has been reduced, but also cases in which the number of red blood cells is less than it ought to he. It is also used in cases in which the amount of red coloring matter in the blood is greatly reduced. A person with anemia may he suffering from any or a combination of all these conditions. The physician can frequently judge from his first sight of the patient whether or not anemia is present. A reduced amount of red coloring matter in the blood will make the patient look pale. However, a look at the hard palate or the eve Indicates more to a dortor than just a glimpse of the skin. The skin of the face may seem to be red because it is sunburned, because the person has thin skin, and because the blood esstls shine through the skin, and sometimes because the per son is extremely well nourished, although anemic. When a person has an insufficient amount of blood, the absence may be due to a shortage of red blood cells or to the fact that various poisons, such as X-rays, radium, benzene, benhfue products, or metallic poisons, have acted on the bod v. It may be due to damage to the bone marrow in which the red blood cells nre formed, or to the fact that cer tain organs of the body are seriously damaged by disease so that they cannot play their p.ut in re generation of the blood. Certain substances are necessary to produce blood cells with a sufficient amount' of red color ing matter. An absence of Iron may result in anemia, and Die iron may either be absent from the diet or lost from the body due to hemorrhage. It Is also known that the liver and the stomach may supply substances which are essential to the building of blood. In other cases anemia may be due to a destruc tion of blood by the action of infection or by the action of substances which destroy blood,' like "ke .VfMC"" "nd certain chemicals. Sometimes there Is destruction of blood because of jaundice. The blood is the most essential ' substance in the human body. Unless it is kept normal in amount, in red blood cells and In red coloring mai ler, health it bound to suffer.
