'T'lIIS bring cliild health week,

v are keenly interested in
... .. t . . .
lelie (.'lories of the recent past,
more important than winniiii; championships, is the promotion
of health the ImildinK of belter and stronger bodies, not ainonir
the few promising athletes alone, but among the student rank
and file.
We .roiild therefore like to sec an athletic coach selected who
has a pood (.'rounding in the matter of physical culture, who
knows this important element in school education, and who
could be depended upon to establish a system of competitive
inter-class athletics which would give every student nil oppor
tunity to not only enjoy outdoor sports, but receive the bene
fits such sports provide.
Sl'C'II a system would probably not produce c-hiinpionsliip
teams as quickly us a system directed solely to developing
the superior physical minority into 'star.s," but it would con
tribute far more to the physical betterment of the entire student
body, and woidd eventually establish the best foundation for a
permanent, rather than a temporary, athletic superiority.
In other words, we believe two main considerations should
govern the selection af a new High School coach. First and
foremost, his abilities as n physical director, his fitness to intro
duce a system which will not be eonfinerl alone to turning out
title winning teams, but also to promoting the health and phy
sical improvement of the students ns a whole. Second, with the
applicant qualifying in this category, he should be as experi
enced and eaiMible a coach as can be found.
XX7K do not agree with those
ant qualifications can't
Medford is to have championship
with the exception of perhaps
competitive sports at all, but must confine their energies to sit
t;ng on the bleachers and overtaxing their vocal chords.
We believe that in this matter
have its cake and eat it. We CAN give needed physical training
to the entire student body, and also, in fact, as a natural pro
duct of such a system we can turn out our legitimate share of
title-winning teams. k
At least this is the goal toward which we would like to see
the school authorities aim, in this matter of selecting a new
High School coach. The ground is cleared for an entirely new
start. With the summer vacation ahead there is no need of
haste. Time and money spent in au effort to secure such a coach,
and establish such a system as outlined above, will pay divi
dends of increasing size and value in the years to come.
WHY NOT GET
AS predicted in this column, commercial fishermen, under the
leadership of Roderick Macleay, have organized to fight
the closing of the Koguc Kivcr, upon the ground that such ac
tion would destroy the third most important industry in Oregon.
Wp would like to see the. sportsmen of this state meet this
challenge early in -the game. And we would like to see them
meet it in this way. t -
Governor Xorbjad is in favor of Closing Rogue River ami also
devoted to the material development of this state. Have him
appoint a commission to determine, the facts in this case, not a
commission of commercial fishermen, nor a commission of sports
men, nor a commission of both; but a commission of representa
tive citizens, from all parts of the state, who are neither.
1 1 -IIKN delegate this commission to make a survey and deter-
mine the truth which can easily be determined. What is
the value of Rogue River to commercial fishermen and can
neries, in doll am and cents. And what is the value of the Rogue,
U) the people of the state, in the way of sport, with particular
reference to tho tourist crop ALSO IN DOLLARS AND
CENTS. "
No one will pay much attention to what the commercial in
terests claim, nor what the sportsmen claim. Hut everyone
would pay careful attention to what an impartiaJ commission
of this sort would determine.
Little constructive progress can be made without knowing
the facts. Why not jump in at the outset, and determine them?

OITIMISTS PREFER IMMUNITY WHILE PESSIMISTS
LIKli "ItUS! STANCE"
What actual difference does It
make whe'her you call it no Im
munity or lowered resistance when
one comes down with an acute re
spiratory infection
asks a correspon
dent. As Prof. Lucifer
O. Butts might say
let me hexplain
you.
If you assume
"lowered r e n i ti

assume something eyebaH. Doctors call this condi

weather last spring, working late
at the office on your inventory.
That makes life very sad. doesn't
It? It Is bad enough lo get one's
eight dollar shoes wet thru, a
calamity to minx out on a good
dinner, a rank injustice to have
such unusual weather this time of
year, quite bad enough, without
thinking "Oh. dear, and that ain't
the half of ft probably my resis
tance is all shot now and I shall
be down with some dreadful mal
ady tomorrow or next November
anyway." A gloomy philosophy of
life, I call it, and a wrong one.
On the happy other hand, so far
as our present scientific know
ledge goes we are warranted. In
assuming that once you acquire a
given degree of Immunity against
any specific infection, no trifling
everyday annoyance or mishap can
rob you of It. The loss of a night's
sleep, a bit of overtime work, an
involuntary fast, even the loss of
your coonskln coat or heavy un
derwear can cause nothing more
than annoyance or discomfort In
any case. Ho why take life so seri
ously? Of course we know, now, that
deprivation may prevent one from
developing the highest degree of
immunity, especially against re
spiratory infection (I'll enlarge on
this In u moment) but we have no
scientific reason to Imagine that
any contributing factor can appre
ciably reduce such Immunity, with
the possible exception of the lapse
of time a long time, not hours,
days or weeks. I want readers to
bear In mind that I dare not make
Huch a positive assertion, here un
less I am sure of my grounds and
secure in my belief that no physi
cian or health authority can suc
cessfully controvert what ' teach.
The correspondent follows his
argument with a real quesUon. Is
there a possible procedure, he asks
for one to follow In order to work
up an Immunity against respira
tory infections?
In answer to that I can tell you.
in a sentence pructically all we
know about It. One should en
deavor to expose the naked skin to
as much sunshine as the skin wilt
comfortably stand, and supplement
that by making sure of 'an ade
quate ration of vitamin A in food
or medicine.
It Is nn old, but not a scientifi
cally estubllsned Idea, that plenty
of fresh air, nourishing food, daily
exercise, sleep and all that gen
eral good hygiene right living
builds up "resistance" or keeps one
immune to respiratory infections.
.So far as our actual knowledge
goes, these factors havo nothing to
do with the matter.
Let m add a suggestion whleh
I consider practlcully us Important
as cultivating Immunity. Most re
spiratory Infections are spread via
conversational spray, which has an
effective range of not more than
five feet. SO when in doubt, en
deavor lo keep beyond your cus
tomer's, classmate's, passenger's,
foreman's, pastor's, grandfather's,
visitor's, waiter's, neighbor's doc
tor's, or salesman's conversational
spray range.

1 wish to pass on to readers who
seek the Information a little dis
covery 1 have made. Oninne juice
or a piece of orange eaten with the
pulp will relieve the most severe
hiccoughs immediately. I have
tested it scores of times and al
ways with success. Can it be that

given to man as a euro for some
ailment? We have already discov

an operation must be done to bring

Hearing l'p Well
Would you let me know your
opinion of aluminum utensils for
cooking, whether there is danger
of poisoning. (Mrs. T. B. W.)
Answer. Most of the food at
our house has been cooked in
aluminum utensils for 20 to 25
years and we're bearing up re
markably under It. But then, we
don't take the propaganda of the
divers cancer quacks ajid mail
order fakers very seriously.
