"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.
