Geography To Play A Major Role In War
The last few weeks have begun to teach us that
our study of the geography of the Pacific has been
greatly neglected. 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.

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.

BEEF MARKETING
SITUATION VOICED
Beef cattle producers of Umatilla
county can help their country in
wartime as well as protect themselves
by increasing their marketings of
cattle and calves to meet the 1942
production goals, is the belief of A.
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.

Pendleton — The relationship of
Oregon’s wool producers to the all-
out war effort will hold the center of
attention at the forty-fifth annual
convention of the Oregon Wool Grow
ers association scheduled for La-
Grande January 8 to 10, according to
I Mae Hoke, president and Walter Holt
i secretary, of Pendleton.
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

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.
