HOfTAUW, Medfo: MEMBER. 1 r lj0w Federal Relief and Medford's Building Program WITH tht starting of the presidential campaign, it is diffi cult to find any ground of common agreement, aa far aa the "atate of the union" ii concerned. But there ia ONE point rising above the dark and turbulent waters of partisan conten tion, upon which those seeking such agreement, can etill find a reasonably firm foothold. This ia that general business is better today than it ha been at any time since the beginning of the Roosevelt administration; and there has been steady im provement, aince the inauguration. The year 1935 was good; in spite of the campaign, 1936 promises to be even better. ..... BUT with this agreement reached, unanimity again cease's. Partisan Republicans claim the improvement has been in SPITE of the Roosevelt policies; partisan Democrats, claim it haa been BECAUSE of them. The truth, as usual, lies some where midway between the two There is no doubt the radical administration instituted, frightened some of the more reaction arv and timid representatives of Big Business, and made them for a time a bit backward about loosening up and going for ward. Big Business, inherently, of any sort, even change which because it will correct abuses, and cally a better place in which to large or small, in it. BUT while that is true, it is equally true, that the relief men sures instituted by the administration, were responsible for bringing this country out of its tailspin, putting it on an even keel, economically, and justifying the signal from the pilot houses "The storm is over, hold ahead!" This recovery was due essentially to the STIMULATION OF PURCHASING POWER. . And this stimulation of the about by the distribution of government money, yes billions of it, in public works, in long term loans, in civic and rural rehabilitation, in a hundred and one ways, through the various alphabetical agencies, which have aroused so much ridicule, on the part of the enemies of the president, but nevertheless, have saved this country from disaster. YES, even in the generally derided boondoggling, work that nsrhans arvrl nn useful rmhlin service. the tnonev soent was not wasted. For it went to have been idle and penniless; it was spent by them for the necessities of life, went immediately into circulation, benefit ted the merchant where it was spent, and contributed its share toward the revival of purchasing power, and the ultimate return of prosperity. It ia incredible that any thinking person, regardless of poli tics, could question the fact, that this spending by the govern ment, is what has saved this country from a major catastrophe, and brought a return of the better times, which arc universally acknowledged. . ' IMAGINE what this state would be, for eiample, without its f!(Tfl Mnnt unA the monev thev distribute eaeh month : without Bonneville dam and ita millions expended; without the innumerable homes and farms saved from foreclosure; without the many civio improvements, sewage disposal plants, street and stream improvements, airfield projects; without the refinancing of our irrigation districts, etc., etc., etc. 1 and YET we have well fed and complacent gentlemen, hereabouts and everywhere else, sneering about the waste of government funds, and main taining if the government had done NOTHING, all would have been well I It only shows to what depths of blindness and bigotry, polit ical partisanship can descend I A ND now Medford has a building program, launched under the direction of government representatives, sent out by the administration to aid people .in the purchase of needed household equipment and home repairs; and the construction of new homes and buildings, as provided under the federal housing act. Good modern homes in Medford are scarce. Many local resi dents would like to make improvements in the homes they have, improvements of a nature that would make them hap pier, more content; would over a period of years conserve money, time, and health. Well the government is ready to assist them, and of course every new limine built or improved, will mean business for local merchants and dealers, therefore increased business and prosperity for the entire community, IS that a good or a bad thingt Is it something to welcome or ridicule, something to commend or condemn t Obviously the former. Tet it is essentially no different, and has the same purpose, as other administration programs of rehabilitation and relief, the stimulating of the purchasing power, putting moro money into general circulation, priming the pump of prosperity ami making this country eventually, a better and happier place in which to live, WE are not trying to maintain huge federal espomlitmvs are desirable in themselves. It would have been much better if no economic collapse had occurred, and such expendi tures hr..i never been needed. Nor do. we claim, AMj expenditures made, have been wise, and without some waste to make such a claim would be to deny that in any human endeavor there is always human falli bility. i But we do maintain what no one denies, better times have at last returned; and we also maintain, that, without the wholesale, extensive program of expenditures which the present government put into operation, they would NOT have returned. So, to those carping critics of the administration, we say snap out of it; give even the devil his due. Pay all yon wish about this partisan issue or tfiat, but don't persist in that ridicu lous contention that the noosevelt relief program, has not only contributed nothing to the return of prosperity, but haa actually delayed it.

SANITY AND The best estimate of the chance that a given person will be stricken with poliomyelitis Is" to be made from the actual rec orda of large hospitals where patients til of e o m m u n 1 cable diseases are treated. In a glv en period there were treated 1 n such hospitals 17.32S patlenta, 9.304 for scarlet fever , 3,850 for dlpththerla. 1.337 for cerebrospinal meningitis, 810 for measles, 910 for erysipelas, 379 for whooping cough, 310 for chlckenpox, 197 for smallpox, 136 for mumps, 36 for encephalitis (confusingly called "sleeping sick ness" In America), 34 for typhoid fe ver and 325 for poliomyelitis. These 326 patlenta who had acute poliomyelitis represent slightly more than one-half of the patlenta (446 wno were sent to uib noapiiai in ini given period presumably 111 of polio myelitis but actually 111 of something else. The accuracy of the early or tentative diagnosis, that la the opin ion of the private practitioner who first sees the patient In the onset of the Illness, was greater In respect to all the other diseases mentioned than It was for poliomyelitis. This Is no reflection on the ability of the pri vate practitioner, nor does It mean that the hosptial doctor Is more com petent: the private practitioner sends the patient to he hospital on suspi cion when the facilities for proper care at home are laadequte as they are in too many "homes" these days; and after a few -daya more the Illness becomes sufficiently well developed so that any bright medical student cftn recognize It. Hospital staffs usu ally have some bright medical stu dents for this role. The public likes to Imagine doctors who hang around hospitals and clinics waiting for windfalls are better than doctors who are busy taking care of private prac tice. Dr. Josephine B. Neal of the N. T. olty health department states that there was no paralysis at all In ap proximately three out of four cases reported as poliomyelitis in the epi demic In New York. She also states that treatment with convalescent se rum appeared without effect In the New Tork epidemic. To test this, a series of 600 patients taken Just as they came were given the serum. Then another series similarly taken at random were given the same treat ment but no serum. The 600 pa tients treated without serum got along as well as the 800 treated with vmm. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NFIW YORK. Jan. 15. An English Journalist sends back a very what-ho , esaay to his paper on New York celeb- j ritles. He says In i short he saw very few for the elm pie reason those he regarded im portant are sel dom in public place 1. e. cafes, theaters, night clubs. The people one really wants to see in New York, he points out, have the elusive ness of Britain's BArrle. Then he swings this from the ankle: "Of course there are the Shaws, the Augustus Johns who wallow In the pleasant Illusion that celebrity Is consplcuousness." Not altogether correct, there Is much truth in this sum-up. In the past few years there haa grown Up in the metropolis a "celebrity pack" that runs in full yolck In every chase. If publicity Is fame In Its finer sense they have achieved it with s bang. First nlfthte, supper clubs and bar openings hare become more or leas a standardised crowd. It Is possible to write who la present without at tending. A statistical metmle de clares that not five percent measure up to qualification whatever they are of celebrity. Burgeij Meredith and Oelett Bur gess are going to toss s party and invite all the Burgesae and all the Merodttha In the phone book. There are 4S Bufwaea and 11 Merediths, the old 57 varieties, in alt. The Queen of the Bungeases, a beauty shop pro prietor, has been selected, but Burgee Johnson will not be Invited unless he sticks another "a" In his front nsme. Henry Winston Harper, dean of the Graduate School of the UniTeralty of Texas, has sent me one of the famous red bow ties which haw distinguish ed him MrtnrMlly.for years. He Is now In the 70'a. Tt Is the only sort of tie he wears, known In the Pan handle as "the irenulne Harper red." The color la based on the oxyhemo globin of the red blood cells in hu man arterial Mood. In other words, the ahede of the lire-siring fluid which stimulated red rorpuaoled ac tion. One of Desn Harper's ties and a raw hamburger have Inspired even a aiAy to chase a tough guy up s ahade tree.

POLIOMYELITIS However, this need not cramp the style of the savant who seasonally bobs up with a new serum which, he modestly suggests to the repoters, Is destined to eradicate poliomyelitis Just as soon as the dumb doctors can be educated a bit. Poliomyelitis Is not s "nervous" disease, haa nothing; to do with the stability or soundness of the mind, does not cripple or Impair the men tality or Intellectual capacity any more than any other short feverish Illness does, and la not more likely to strike a victim who haa what quacka term "weak" nerves or one who la of "nervous" temperament, or one whose grandmother was daffy or whose uncle had paresis. ' To the best of our present knowl edge Infantile paralysis spreads from person to person Just as diphtheria, scarlet ver or the crl in general does. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Certified Milk Best Obtainable Is It true- that milk loeea valuable vitamins through being pasteurised? Is certified raw milk better than the same grade of pasteurised? (A. A. W.) Answer. Yes, par-bolllng (the heat ing process known as pasteurizing) destroys vitamins. Certified milk Is the purest and best milk obainable. If certified milk Is to be subjected to par-bolllng to make It safe, then It Is foolish to go to all the trouble and expense to produce certified milk. Any old milk is made safe by the same par-bolllng process. Coat on Tongue Why do X have a coated tongue most of the time? (Mtsa A. B.) Ana. The back of the tongue la normally covered with a alight coat. Perhaps your tongue la too smoth. If so, It la likely that your vitamin In take ia below normal. In any case you will find good advice about diet in booklet "Building Vitality" send ten cents and stamped addressed en velope for copy. When Is Alcohol Excessive? My wife Is worried by your article on alcohol and to settle an argument would request that you state whether a person who drinks an av eva&fa else glass of wine during a large meal Is drinking to excess or taking' enough to alow down his re flexea. (J. J. P.) - Ana. Certainly that much alcohol slows down reflexes. If your wife doesn't like your drinking, certainly It Is excess. (Copyright, 1036, John P. Dllle Co.) Ed.
