Story of First
Division Rated
As Marine Epic
New York IT The First Mar
ine division, one of the best fight
Ins units in world war II. has be
come the subject of one of the
best books to come out of the
war, "The Old Breed," by George
McMillan. Publication date, to
day, coincides with the 174th an
niversary of the marines.
The book, published by the In
fantry Journal press In Washing
ton, is a far cry from the usual
official history of a fighting unit.
Read it and you become part of
the unit.
The book itself is handsome
with combat greens for the bind
ing and the famous Guadalcanal
patch blazoned on the cover. It is
full of maps, photographs and
combat drawings by men of the
marine corps.
The First Division went into
action on Guadalcanal in the
United States' first offensive, an
offensive that heightened sagging
morale. It went on from there
to Cape Gloucester, Peleliu and
' Okinawa, blazing a trail of glory.
Men's Own Story
The author, a sergeant, experi
enced most of its history. But in
stead of depending on memory
and the official documents at his
disposal, he talked with the men
who were the first marines. It is
their story, too.
Col. John W. Thomason, who
captured in earlier writings the
marines' exploits in France and
in old Peking, once said:
"They were the leathernecks,
the old breed of American regu
lars, regarding the service as
home and war as occupation, and
they transmitted their temper
and character and viewpoint to
the high-hearted volunteer mass."
And that, in a way, was the
story of the first division, an old
corps who transmitted their feel
ings to the new men of worid
war II. The author has captured
this feeling well, whether he de
scribes active combat, rest per
iods or leaves in Australia.
LOSER TAKES HIDE
Atlanta LPi O. I. Carroll paid
off an election bet by riding
across town in a coffin. Fifty au
tomobiles driven by supporters
of the losing candidate composed
the cortege.
Did you ever stop to think
that Uie national oebt really
noes concern you? Actually it
Is a mortgage on your earn
ings, your property and every
thing else and its, too big for
any one person to actually
conceive or realize,
250 billion donars is history's
largest mortgage and Federal
spending is going along at an
ail-time high and increasing.
The Hoover commission re
port showed what could be
done and pointed out some of
tne ridiculous situations for
instance . - -
The U. S. government has
45 separate agencies which
deal with housing.
The U. S. government, the
world's largest business opera
tion, has no complete account
ing system and keeps no com
plete set of books.
The U. S. government owns
S'i typewriters for each ste
nographer and typist on Its.
payroll.
The Federal government now
costs (that is, it is costing you
mid me) SltW.000,000 a uay.
The average person could
take just a o minute portion
of that kind of money and be
on the luxury side of lite from
now on.
The ridiculous part of it all .
is that we read these things
in the papers and yet, while it
Is shocking, it doesn't pene-,
trate that we, the people, are
to blame. After all, if a suffi
ciently large group get con
cerned about something our
Government heads will rush
around like a bunch of ants
doing what we want, because
the average politician is con
cerned wlih only one thing-re-election.
He figures the state
of union is of secondary con
cern as. long as he is in the
position to do something about
I hope through the medium
of these small uius s to waken
a few people who In turn will
register their opinions in no
unmistakable terms. If this is
done, our government will be
run less like a dictatorship and
more like a democracy. The
President of the United' States
should execute the will of the
people or else. Of course if
you want to keep on having
taxes pyramid keep on doing
us you are and have been and
"that ain't anything."
Mpnntimo tin u .... .. .1 . .
In for service. At this limn nfl
the year your battery, your
tires, and your engine should
all lie In ton condition. If not
tiring your car in to Halbrook
Motors, regardless of make
and let them put it in winter
running condition.

WHAT KEEPS COFFEE PRICES' PERKING-Newschart above
illustrates four factors that helped increase coffee prices. In a recent
survey, the Department of Commerce traced the shortage to a
steady, 10-year drop in Brazilian production, plus a big increase in
consumption. The department says the outlook for increased sup
plies is "not bright," but foresees no critical coffee "famine." Main
reason prices skyrocketed to their present all-time high is "panic
buying" by borne hoarders.
Jaycees Seeking
Santa Claus Suit
Who has Santa Claus' suit?
This was the pressing question
posed by local Javcces, at their
noon luncheon meeting today at
tne fine tavern.
Disappearance of the suit, pur
chased by the Jaycees several
years ago. Just specially for the
jolly old man's visits to Bend,
became Known about a week ago,
when committees arranging the
annual "Hello, Santa" and Christ
mas tree feature began prepara
tions for the event The finery,
representing an investment of
some $85, was tucked away in
moth balls after being used last
Christmas, and no one seems to
know just what happened to it
since then.
Norman Fartridge, Jaycee pres
ident, reported today that Santa
wired irom tne worth f ole tnar ne
will need a change of clothes
when he arrives in Bend, after
cutting his reindeer on winter
range with the antelope east of
the city.
' "Can't Let Him Down"
"We just cpn't let hlrn down."
Partridge declared. . "But what
will the wear 1f we don't locate
the suit?"
While they Worried about Kris
Kringle's pants, the clubmen
heard a program featuring intro
duction of John Kiesow, a 4-H
club member for. 10 years, who
won the Jayce award for ttte out
standing 4-H club member in the
county two straight years. Kie
sow. wfto nlans to enroll at ure-
gon State college after Christ
mas, thanked the Jaycees lor
their Interest in 4-H work, evi
denced by their sponsorship of
the award.
Kiesow was introduced bv Don
ald Benscoter, county 4-H club
agent, who told the Jaycees tnat
30 per cent of all rural young
sters are enrolled in 4-ti ciud
work, with 528 Deschutes county
members participating, tttorts
are being made to extend the pro
gram even farther, he said.
Al Cook, agriculture education
chairman for the Jaycees, spoke
briefly on the benefits derived
from the program. He said that
although the 4-H'ers realize some
financial return on their projects.
the work is mostly of education
value, with hard work required
for comoaratively small money
profits.
Plans were mads for decorating
the Christmas tree on the post of
fice lawn Sunday, at 12:30 p.m.,
with Frank Ries in charge.

Ceremony Marks
8th Anniversary
Of! Sneak Attack
Honolulu. T. H., Dec. 7 HP
Only a solemn five-minute cere
mony above the sunken battleship
Arizona marked the eighth anni
versary today of the Japanese at
tack on Pearl Harbor.
A small group of military com
manders and acting Governor
Oren E. Long gathered at 8 a.m.
the hour when the Japanese
blitz attack was at its height
to hear an Invocation by Pacific
fleet Chaplain Capt. E. B. Harp.
His prayer was followed by a
moment of silence and then a
bugler played "Taps."
The service was arranged on
the eve of the anniversary at the
suggestion of Pacific fleet Commander-in-chief
Admiral Arthur
W. Radford. A navy spokesman
said Radford did not want the day
to go unobserved, but wished a
minimum of fanfare.
Other branches of the military
held no special services to com
memorate the day.
One military spokesman said
some commanders were opposed
to "celebrating a mistake."
Only other sign of an anniver
sary of the "day of infamy"; was
furnished by group of Girl Scouts''
and their mothers, who were
scheduled to tour . Pearl Harbor
by boat and drop flower leis on
the water in memory of the men
who died under a rain of Japa
nese bombs.
The Arizona lies submerged
except for a portion of deck and
concrete superstructure built over
and on the sunken hull.

Science at Work
By Paul K. Kills
(United Preee Scl.no. felltor)
Now Dork tut Medical science
seems near the day when at least
one cause of cancer can be Iden
tified definitely.
That cause may lie an unbal
ance of hormones. They are Die
chemical substances In the body
body that determine sex charac
teristics, how tall or fat you will
be and generally keep the normal
process of body cell building in
tine.
The recent announcement from
Memorial Hospital Center for
Cancer and Allied Discuses that
two rare hormones, cortisone and
Acrh, Imd been usedv In certain
types df cancer rases and with
some good result, indicates that
the medical researchers who be
lieve in the hormone theory may
be on the right track.
Hormonal Balance Viewed
As Key to Good Health
More. and more, the scientist;.
point, out, it appeal's that certain
changes in the hormonal balance
may start a cancerous growth.
You might compare the phenom
enon to a gang ot cownoys driving
cattle to a destination. As long as
the cowboys keep the cattle un
der control, there is no stampede
and the cattle move alcng In or
derly fashion.
But once a cowbov falls down
on the job and the cattle herd be
comes out of line, then trouble
starts. Some scientists compare
the hormonal arrangements to a
symphony orchestra. If one mu
sician gets out of tune, the wnoie
symphony sounds sour.
such mav oe tne story in tne
human body In regard to hor
mones. If one gland, the adre
nals for Instance, begins produc
ing too many or not enough of
one or more hormones, the nor
mal cell growth pattern in the
body is upset. Abnormal growth,
or cancer, may result, so the
theory goes.
wnen tne normones are worth
ing properly, the body functions
properly, the scientists believe.
Scientists Now on Trail
Of Normal Pattern
Once it has been established
definitely that hormone unbal
ance in the bodv is a definite
cause of cancer, the goal will be
to determine Just what is a nor
mal pattern of hormone produc
tion.
Scientists t Memorial hospital.
let by Dr. Konrad Dobriner. one
of the world's authorities on hor
mones, are now engaged in a
$500,000 project to determine the
patterns ol hormones excreted ny
healthy humans as compai'cd to
those wno are in.
Preliminary results show that
certain amounts of hormones
show up In urinal specimens ot
ill persons that do pot annear In
the normal person." The day mav
come when It can be determined
if a person is becoming suscep
tible to a certain disease, snv arth
ritis or even cancer, and then
steps can be taken to offset the
threat to neaitn.
e e e
Eliminating the Cause
Is Major Goal
The elimination of the cause of
cancer is the major goal of most
scientists working in the cancer
field. But first the causes must
be determined. That done, slops
can be taken to eliminate the
causes.
Meanwhile, medical science
stresses surgery. X-ray and radi
um for cancer. Bur none 01 tnose
treatments eliminate the cause.
In many cases they do eliminate
the cancer.
Treatment of cancer is neces
sary, the scientists believe, but
the real goal is to "eliminate" the
cancer even before it starts. The
answer may be found, in the hor
mone work.
Seasickness Cure
Has Other Uses
Rochester, Minn. u" Roches
ter doctors are using an anti-
seasickness drug to combat X-ray
sickness.
The new drug, dramamine, was
uncovered early this year as the
most successful agent yet to pre
vent or cure motion sickness on
ships or planes.
Doctors said they tried drama
mine for the new purpose be
cause of a similarity between mo
tion sickness and radiation sick
ness symptoms, which often ac
company X-ray treatment.
Dramamine was used on 82 pa
tients and results were termed
excellent in 25 per cent of the
cases and good in another 53 per
cent. .
