Hundreds of young men have been rejected by draft board doc- , tors or at army induction centers because of minor defects. Closet attention to physical fitness would have made many in this classifi­ cation available for service. Some schools have enforced phy­ sical training for all pupils, but i too often the work of athletic > coach is devoted chiefly to the few who take part in competitive sports. However, ordinary ath­ letic activities should not be in­ terrupted or abandoned. Thousands of boys and girls will be neeoed for some type of war activity in the days to come and now is the time to give them the neceeteary physical preparation. JAPANESE PROBLEM The uprising at Manzanar, the Japanese camp in California, where alien Japanese as Ameri­ can-born Japanese are being held for the duration, hats brought pu­ blic attention to a condition that requires careful consideration. This uprising showed dearly that there are a percentage of danger­ ous Japanese in this country. Not only are they dangerous to every- ■ thing that is American, but they are dangerous to thoi|$ands of Japansese who are undoubtedly loyal citizens. Apparently the hatred of the Japanese who caused the trou­ ble at Manzanar, is as strong or stronger toward the Japanese who are loyal to this country, as It is toward Americans. Hence the lives of such Japanese are en- dangered when they arc confined in the same locatioij) with the alien Japanese. Tlie problem is a most diffi- cult one when our guvernment is oblige«! to confine American-born Japanese as well as alien Japan­ ese . As long as dire necessity re­ quires such action, however, it is evident the two groups must be segregated. Furthermore, some method of procedure must be evolved to give the loyal Japanese a chance to prove their loyalty so that they will not be forced to associate with the aggressive alien Japan­ ese whose avowed purpose is to sabotage and destroy if given that opportunity in the United Slates The people have confidence that our government will correct this situation with full consideration of the safety and humanitarian i imines involved. —Buy War Having» Stamp*— comotlvee, 80.000 freight cars and 2.100.000 tons of slt'cei rail. Rail­ road experts point out that this is the absolute minimum necees sary to do the job Already delay in approving the request make» it improbable that much new equipment can be delivered before late ISM3 In the critical months ahead. the best brains of ahip|>era and railroad managements will have to make up in lioine manner for lack of maintenance material and rolling stock. However, the cush­ ion of efficiency is getting thread­ bare It cannot continue inde­ finitely to fill the widening gap in our transportation needs. For twenty years the railroads have been preparing for a trans­ portation emergency. Railroad men vowed that the confusion dur­ ing World War I. when thousands of freight cars did duty as ware­ houses instead of hauling freight, would not be repeated. The emer­ gency came, an emergency the magnitude of which cannot be put down in words. The vow they made has not been broken. The railroad industry hqi kept |>ace with demand. The railroad men have told what must be done if the railroads are to finish the job of war transportation They know what they are talking about. They must have equipment. That is elemental. ------------- •- AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE "TTiat you can depend on" HEALTH * ACCIDENT UTE M. T. BURNS ON THE I’LA/.A WHEN IT COMES ! When ìi-ei.blr e- , * Billings Agency BEAI.
