Now Let's Help Our Own k GAIN the people of Medford are reminded that the annual " Community Cheat campaign ii at hand. The need for community-wide generosity cannot be too strongly emphasized at this time. Looking at present conditions squarely in the face, there are definite obligations and responsibilities that must be met. Suf fering and want must be reduced; health must be safeguarded! The time-proven Community Cheat is the agency through which the needs of less fortunate neighbors can best be met. Medford has been fortunate in the able leadership of Com munity Client drives in past years. This year will be no excep tion. Those who direct this campaign, and MAj who contribute their energy and enthusiasm in the solicitation of much needed funds, are to be commended! ..... SOME who are not fully informed as to the scope and activ ities of the Community Chest may be inclined to "pass the buck" to Uncle Sam to shoulder the burden of relief, which is after all but one of several functions of the chest. The government, with state and county assistance, has through necessity assumed an important share of the task of administering direct relief here and elsewhere; the PWA and WPA, through various public works projects, have performed valuable service in meeting seasonal unemployment. It is to be hoped that eligible sponsors will take immediate steps to bring worth-while WPA projects here this winter . . . they will be needed! The Community Chest, however, undertakes relief problems, a health program and character-building activities that are and have been PERMANENT responsibilities of THIS commu nity. They are essentially LOCAIjj the Federal government cannot and will NOT assume theml TIE annual chest drive affords those who never WANT, other than perhaps for some luxuries, an opportunity to consider the problems of their less fortunate neighbors. Here, as in all communities, there are families faced with devitalizing impoverishment in need of he bare necessities of life! By giving to the Community Chest some little part of what life has been good enough to give to us, we reach theml The result t A finer community of happier, healthier people! rT0 contribute to the chest should not be regarded as "oharity," but as SHARING in the true spirit of Christi anity and brotherhood; to give to those less fortunate is to enjoy the deep satisfactions that sharing bestows! This newspaper has pointed out upon the occasion of previous campaigns that the Community Chest is, by its nsture, a TEST OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP. That test will be made again this year. It is to be hoped that ALL who can afford to share will measure up to that tost this year, as they have through the years that have gone. H. Q.

WE are grateful to Hitler for one thing, his timing. If Der "Furioso" had decided to stage his Czechoslovakia putsch, this week instead of last, what a moss this country would have been in I For we take our sports seriously, particularly football and the world series. On the other hand when another world war threatens, old merry "h" itself is popping in Europe, how many of us could have successfully kept one eye on the forward pass, or the homer over the left field wall, and the other on the latest flash from Europe. Most of us, would have been in the sad predicament of the chameleon on the Scotch plaid, drawn irresistibly hither aud thither not knowing in which way to go, and ending up by trying to go everywhere, and really getting nowhere. SO intentionally or unintentionally Adolf showed some sense by cleaning up the Sudeten crisis, the day before the Oregon I'CliA contest at Eugene and nearly a week before the opening of the world series. This, we believe, is the first time we have ever given Der Fuehrer credit for ANYTHING good, but as an ardent follower of both sports we feel a NON-fascist salute of gratitude, to him for not ruining the UCLA gnme and the world scries, is only his "devil's due." Not So Fast! SPEAKING of that Saturday victory over the Uelnns, it WAS one of the most thrilling football contests ever staged in this state. And it puts the University and the new coach off to a glorious start. (Hearty congratulations to them both!) But we trust the fans, hereabouts and elsewhere, will avoid the mistakes of the past and not proceed to count their ohickens before they are hatched. Enthusiasm is desirable in any sport, but going to extremes, ISN'T. And when we talk of winning the conference, bidding for tho Rose Bowl, or having a "wonder team," we are collect ively and individually talking through our hats, and should have enough souse to know it. Win, lose or draw Oregon has a fine fighting team this year, and a smart and resourceful coach. But everyone who saw that hair-raising finish Saturday will agree, Oregon was lucky to get away with it And there was much to he desired, as far as super football is concerned, on both sides, too much to be talking about any championships. 11THAT we are getting at ii thisi " It is neither fair to the team nor the coach, to allow a couple of early seasou victories to go to our heads, and to arouse everyone's expectations, that when they are not realised, as they won't be, tha net result will be deflation and dis appointment. This is the first year for Tex Oliver. He has a promising hut comparatively inexperienced, bunch of boys, and while the results to date are worth cheering about, there is no justifica tion for drawing any roseate conclusions, one way or the other, regarding the final wind-up. So let's keep on an even keel, emotionally, and by avoiding extremes while on the winning side, also avoid them when, the team runt into the inevitable defeats. In tha fay nineties shotgun quar antine was still practiced In the south when an outbreak of yellow avar occurred. Sines that time the absurdity of that practice has been recognized universally and the aucceas of any quarantine against "yellow Jack" depends entirely, aa we now know, upon the efficiency of the means em ployed to prevent the carriers, mosquitoes, from gain Ing access to the pstlent 111 of the disease. Pormerly doctors snd laymen alike believed yellow fever was contagious, spread through personal contact with one 111 of the dlsesse or by srtlcles contaminated by the patient, or by persons who had been closely associated with the pstlent st sny time In the course of the Illness. Hence the shotgun quarantine. To day we know, thanks to Dra. Agra moute. sr. Carroll and Reed, that fallow fever la conveyed only by the agency of the moaqulto and csnnot be communicated by contagion or by clothing or things thst have been used by a yellow fever patient. We know, too, that the virus of the dls esse Is carried In the body of the Stegomyla fascists only the femslo of the species If tha mosquito has taken a drink of the patient's blood during the first three or four days of the fever. The Stegomyla mosquito is sometimes called Aedes egj-ptl. Af ter the mosquito haa bitten the yel low fever patient a period of three weeks, more or less, elapses before the mosquito Is able to Inoculate another person. But once the mo squito herself hss taken her drink of yellow Jack, she remslns a men ace to human life for the rest of her csrrer, which msy be nearly a year. Indeed, by successive bites she may Inoculate a whole series of per sons In quick succession a fact which Indicates how futile was shot gun quarantine. The aame quaint concept of the prevention of epidem ics, or Idess rounded on the same sort of Ignorance, snlmates msny of our "ssnltary" regulatlona and prac tices today. ' Infection primarily Implies con tsmlnstlon. The world mesne to dip Into, to stain, to tslnt with morbid mstter. So In general infectious dls- esses Include malaria, yellow fver. typhoid fever, tuberculosis, messles, diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fev.r, erysipelas, whooping cough, undu lant fever. Infantile paralysis, in fluenza, scsbles (the itch), epider mophytosis (foot Itch), etc.. ss well ss many other ailments which sre but slightly If at sll communicable. Whst tha layman, to his cost and sorrow, conceives as Infection is not at all what the pathologist calls In fectlori. In the mind of the physlclsn or psthologlst Infection necesssrlly Implies Invasion of body -tissues by the germs. That Is quite different from mere presence of germs on the surface of the mucous membrane lining a body cavity or on the aur face of the skin. One Important prac tical difference Is '- that antiseptic, germlcldtsl or dlslnfectsnt remedies may retard growth of or even de stroy germs on the surface If that does tha Indlvldualy any good but no such agent can appreciably In fluence germs that have Invaded the body tissues without at the same time too greatly Injuring tha tissues, snd It is only the germs that have already Invaded body tissues that can possible be responsible for the Illness or disease In any case. This may make It clearer why borlo acid and mild tincture of lodln are the only antiseptics I. ol' Doc Brady, admit to The Medicine Cupboard. Man About Manhattan By GEOBOI TTJCKEH ! & QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Salmon We are very fond of canned nal mon served In different ways. Can you tell me whether It i good food for adults and children.

GEORGE TOCKfft NEW YORK Until now X have been extremely chary about men tioning the New York World's Pair. There U a reason for this. But a railroad man In O k 1 a noma haa taken me to tak regarding this matter, and I can no longer look the other way. "You are fall ing down on your obligations." he writes. 'This la likely to be the greatest fair the world has ever known, and not one little word imve you had to say about It. Why?" Well. Mister, I'll tell you. I hate fairs. 'They leave me exhausted and my disposition ruined. They put cramps in my legs and spots before my eyes. There la nothing so appall ing as the slow, tedious trek that carries a man throught ten thou sand exhibits. MarrlPd men tell me that shopping excursion with their wive 1 every bit as bad. I am pleased to doubt this. I have been on a few shopping expeditions my self. Of course they are awful. But nothing comparable to a Jolly day of being choked by duat and walked to a frazzle a you try to make rea son out of a bpwllderlng maze of . temple, arenas, administration buildings and shops. When I think of fairs I Instinctive ly begin to nurse a grudge against the men responsible for them. And that Is silly. It la unreasonable and unjust. But It la my nature to re gard things In this light, and so I may a well admit that even now I haw to take rnyse1' verely in hand and Bay: "Whoa, there. Buster, no tantrums now," whenever O rover Whalen' name crosses my mtnd. Mr. Whalen Is an Important man In New York. He Is a courteous and affable gentleman. But in unthink ing moments I feel a resentment against his name because the fair Is definitely his baby. Make no mis take about that. He IS the fair. And I think It will be a howling success. I will be howling myself. every time I have to go out there, but X think It will still be big stuff for those who enjoy fairs. Once In Tennesee X attended a fair and had my pockets picked of 17. It wu all the money I had. Sometime later, as a cub reporter In Columbus, Ohio, I attended an other fair, and my pocket was picked of a week's salary 30 this time. On another occasion my best friend attended a fair and got so much dust In his eyes, Mrs, nose and throat that he developed sinus trouble. Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight champion and Miss Luder wedded In Rome. Col. Lindbergh comes out for Hoo ver for president. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY October S, 191 S September was a tunny month with only 1-60 Inches of rain. Germans start retreat from the Hlndenburg line and retirement to Belgium underway. And so X hope you get whale of a kick out of the New York World'a Fair. It's going to be a whizz. The only adjective worth a hoot In this town Is "biggest." Everything here !b the "biggest" you ever saw. And I'm sure the fair will measure up. But, personally X must continue to view with alarm. The prospects for 1930 are dreary Indeed. I have already been warned by friends In various sections of the country that i they Intend to swoop down on me j for protracted visits, so that we may i "do" the fair together. These letters leave me despondent, and a little desperate. There 1 no escape, no logical "out." Of course I could have my name taken from the directory, sub-lease my apart, ment, and take lodgings tn a remote section of town. But I'm not the lucky sort. They would be sure to seek me out. And then I wouldn't even have any friends. This 1 what fairs have done and are doing to me. -f Mann's celebrate eighth birthday of store. City electrician's duties loaded City Engineer Olen Amaplger.
