With 7000 miles across and far ther north and south, we find almost one-third of the globe included in our new battle zone, on sea. We find the Pacific, the Yellow and China seas, the In dian ocean and the South seas, with thousands of islands where the enemy may hide and practice pir- acy. The enemy is there while we are a long way from fighting bases. Therefore, as we study the numerous maps in newspapers and magazines and get the dis tances and the breadth of the expanse, we are com pelled to realize that there is a big job ahead of us. Before the war is over and Japan is reduced to a mi nor third power, without navy, submarines and war planes, we will know our geography and the tre mendous importance of the Pacific in the affairs of nations. Happy New Year To Friend And Stranger Nineteen Forty-Two is here and one of the most important years in human history is ahead of us. Around the entire globe many men will give their lives in defense of Christian civilization. In the con flict of nations our first purpose must be to win the battles, but we will be inspired by principles that will win the victory for the welfare of mankind. When vicious aggression and dictatorial denial of human rights are dethroned, we can then say A Happy New Year to the depth of our souls. We hope that by the end of 1942 we can really rejoice. In the meantime, we should be as happy as possible in well doing, keeping up our courage, supporting our ar mies to the limit of our manhood and resources with the hope that in the end there will be many happy years throughout a more civilized world. At any event, we can yet say Happy New Year to friend and stranger in this land of ours, with a cheerfulness that no other part of the globe knows. YOU’RE IN FOR THE faln ASNW’sCw CtAA $ 85-2.

[3 W5 GLEnOns’or JOHN Medical Research Aided By Electron Microscope One form of electron tube does for the eye what the telephone does for the ear. That phototube, as it is called, can take the light reflected by a man’s face, change it into a current of electricity, send the cur rent over a wire or through space, and change it back again into an image of a face. Suppose the image were that of a ; germ, and that it were magnified millions of times. Wouldn’t that give us the most powerful of micro- | scopes? Dr. Vladimir K. Zworykin, the scientist who gave us television as we know it today, thinks so, and has built an experimental instru ment which, when it is perfected, will enable science to penetrate still more deeply into the unknown of the infinitely small. The potentialities of such an in vention surpass prediction. For ex ample, there are about 20 diseases i caused by viruses—among them in fantile paralysis, smallpox, chicken- pox, the common cold, typhus, ra bies, measles, mumps and encepha litis (the so-called sleeping sick ness). What are these viruses? No body knows. If they are germs that lie beyond the microscope, as some believe, the electron micro scope should reveal them. When the electron microscope is perfected—a matter of 10 years or so—prepare yourself for another Pasteur. In some university lab oratory, in some hospital, he may be already at work, a youngster of 25, doing the best that he can with such magnifying lenses as the most skillful experts can produce. What a bound medicine will make when he studies the ultramicroscopic with electron tubes! The discovery that as many as four out of every five persons re tarded in reading ability have nor- I mal or superior intelligence has prompted the Reading Clinic at the Pennsylvania State college to en large its program of instruction. “Too many people believe that reading problems are solved in the first six grades of a child’s educa tional experience," explained Dr. Emmett A. Betts, who is in charge of the clinic. "On the contrary, be tween 8 and 25 per cent of all school children have reading faults and as high as 50 per cent of adults display little interest in reading." In the face of these findings, it is the job of educators through mod ern methods, to correct reading dif ficulties while the person is still in school, he said.

R. Coppock, chairman of the Uma tilla county USDA agricultural de fense board. Now that this country is at war, it is essential that the nation’s work ers and armed forces have an abun dance of meat and beef and veal will be needed in larger amounts as the demand increases, the chairman pointed out. Citing the increased purchasing power of civilian consumers as well as the needs of the armed forces, Mr. Coppock believes that larger quanti-1 ties of beef can be sold with very lit tle chance of depressing prices dur ing the coming year. Thus, the chairman said, by in creasing marketings next year, cat tlemen can serve their country, head off overstocking, and take advantage of the opportunity to sell on a good market and prevent excessive market ings at some later time when prices and demand may not be as good.

As was the case last year, the opening day will be devoted entirely to committee meetings with the first general session starting Friday morn ing. The same officers are serving this year as last, the third officer be- ! ing Wayne Stewart, John Day, vice- | president. Wool growers have a double re sponsibility in the victory drive, one being to keep the maximum volume of wool flowing to the nation’s mills for use of the armed forces particularly, and the second is to produce a maxi mum amount of lamb meat for food, the officers point out. Program details have not been an nounced, but arrangements have been made to have both the wool and meat I phases of the industry adequately covered, together with some general topics of interest. In the later cate gory is a scheduled major address by Dr. O. R. Chambers, head of the psychology department at Oregon I State college, on “Maintaining Mor ale.” At least two other men from the college staff will be on the program, including E. L. Potter, head of the division of agricultural economics and former head of the animal hus bandry department, and D. E. Rich ards, superintendent of the branch experiment station at Union where most of the experimental work in lamb fattening has been carried on. This is the first time in many years that the wool growers conven tion has been held in La Grande. Lo- I cal committees are at work prepar ing adequate entertainment and housing, the officers here have been informed. Last year the convention was held in Lakeview. lie’ll Take the Suit You’re in for the surprise of your life when you see and drive the John Deere Model “H”— the sensational new small tractor that handles two-row equipment and completely replaces animal power-on small and large farms every where, cutting costs ’way below their former level, and making farming more profitable. And when you learn the price, you’ll wonder how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor that sells for so little. In addition, the Model “H” not only burns low- cost fuel but it uses only 1/3 to 1/2 at much fuel on the many jobs within its power range, as would larger tractors handling the same load. Come in, see it, and get “the surprise of your PFNDLETON , his body during the stroke. It is a natural impulse, for the powerful muscles of the back are normaliy used to augment the strength of the arms. In consequence, he either swings down, as though trying to drive a pick into the ground, or swings up as though lifting a bushel of potatoes into a wagon. And usu ally he is inclined to argue against correction. "But I have to get power some way,” he is likely to expostulate. “You don't need power in this.” the teacher will explain patiently. “You have a long club, which first of all calls for accuracy. In the next place the weight of the club head is enough in relation to the weight of the ball so that its own momentum at impact is a major factor. A long drive comes large ly from the last instant speed of the club-head. “If at the moment of impact your body is turning slowly, your arms moving a little faster on that base, and your wrists snapping the club forward on top of that, the speed will be the sum of all three—like a flea jumping forward on the head of a man running forward on the top of a moving freight train.” One could apply this to many things, but the application which oc curs to us at the moment is indus trial good will. If a superintendent plans wisely, a foreman drives ahead vigorously, and there is un derneath this a basis of plant co- operation and good will, the sum total of efficient output may be surprising. Just jerking on any one of the three is likely to slice into the rough.
