Jm Mail rutt4 !U aiia Help Fill TTHE annual opportunity to Medford't Community Chest is hpre and it IS an oppor tunity, this chance to nhare with those less fortunate. There is no better tent of good citizenship; no finer expression of the true spirit of Christianity, brotherhood and good neigh borlinessl It is altogether appropriate that the national slogan "Good American and Good Neighbor" should be selected as the keynote of Hertford 'g chest campaign. Sharing with those who, in many instances, do not have the bare necessities of life, goes hand-in-hand with other responsibilities of useful Amer ican citizenship. WHILE general business prospects seem brighter, the im mediate need for a well-filled community chest is just us important, if not more so, as it was last year. All com munities have their quota of families faced with devitalizing impoverishment Mcdford is no exception and so we might as well face the facts squarely. They are fellow-Americans NEIGHBORS and we cannot see them suffer this winter. . . THE government, with state and county assistance, lias through necessity assumed an important share of the task of administering direct relief here and elsewhere. This will continue. To augment this effort provide useful work relief every effort is being made to secure As this newspaper has pointed out before, however, the Community Chest undertakes relief problems, a health program, and character-building activities that have been and must con tinue to be responsibilities of people HERE. They are LOCAL problems; the Federal government cannot and will NOT assume them I MEDFORD'S Community Chest campaign this year (litters in some respects from those of previous years. In the first place, there will be no short, intensive drive for funds; instead, the remainder of the month will be devoted to the work of raising money so necessary for the continuation of the programs of participating organizations. All who live in this city, Jacksonville, r'hoenix, Central Point and adjacent areas will bo systematically canvassed. The job will take time those who are giving able leadership to the Chest campaign this year are wise in their decision to proceed with their solicitation in a slower, more thorough manner. Another wise step has been taken. The previous policy of accepting pledges of less than five dollars has involved costly clerical work. By substitution of cash contributions for smaller pledges the part-time salary of a secretary will be eliminated. Thus, every penny will go directly to the participating organ izations; all overhead has been wiped out. TO facilitate the task of many hundred personal contacts, chest contributors are also urged to leave their contribu tions, large or small, at the centrally located chest headquarters at Main street and Central avenue in this city. The six participating organizations American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Jackson County Public Health Association. Girls Community Club, Girl Scouts and Hoy Scouts have interesting displays in this headquarters. Attendants are on hand to explain their work; the public will have the oppor tunity to gain a first-hand knowledge of just how their community chest money is spent. s ADVANTAGES of tho Community Chest plan are obvious: The single contribution of each citizen will take care of SIX important activities; the single effort on the part of public spirited workers will take the place of the troublesome and .duplicating task of raising money in SIX separate drives. IT'S a big undertaking, this annual mobilization for human needs. Those who direct the chest campaign and ALL who lend their energy and enthusiasm in the solicitation of much- needed funds are certainly to be commended. This year, it is most important that their efforts be success ful. The wholehearted support of a generous community will inako them so. Medford and Jackson County have many "good neighbors" who will measure up to this thoroughly .American test of GOOD CITIZENSHIP I (i At The National Capitol with John W.

I reier to such scurvy mistreatment at the hands of the local government, right, here in America, as this, clipped from newspaper: Mftdlsonvllle, Ky., Aug. 23. (Spl.) Mrs. . . charged with refusing to have her daughter vaccin ated against smallpox, waa fined $10 and costs by County Judge . , , wnen tried tnis afternoon. A similar charge against her hus band waa dismissed as he said he was willing for the child to be vaccinated. Or county health officer, warned the parents three years ago to have the child vaccinated or she could not attend school. She is student of the . , . school. One wonders whether the victims in this instance drew lots to decide which would take the rap, and Mom got the short straw. Anyway, more power to her If five thou sand other mothers had the spirit to fight the plnhead politicians In hick health departments who are so all-flred concerned about vacci nation that they can't find time to do anything about the most flag rant violation of fundamental sani tary regulations in eating Joints and the like, this persecution of helpless citizens would soon cease. I believe in vaccination. I am vaccinated, and I urge everyone who asks my advice to be vaccl noted. Being so protected against the risk of infection with smallpox, aa I believe, it is . of no dwiern to me if my neighbor choses to take his chances without vaccination. either because he doesn't believe In It or because he Is Just negligent about being Immunized. If my neighbor were mentally Incompe tent or for any other reason in capable of knowing right from wrong or safety from danger, then perhaps It would be my duty to see to it, If possible, that ho should be vaccinated. That's tho whole story.

It In all the more interesting, therefore, to see the anti-spenders at the commerce and treasury de partments busily searching for a new frontier In South America. The war, by preoccupying our competitors, created the opportunity for a South American trade program. The pro gram Is taking shape as a great, permanent commercial expansion, squarely founded on development of untapped South American resources. An idea of the sort of thing that is afoot may be obtained from the conclusions of a conference of lead ing exporters and manufacturers re cently called at the commerce de partment by under-secretary Edward Noble. In an atmosphere of temper ate optimism, the conferee discussed every aspect of the trade problem, addressing themselves particularly to the main obstacle. This Is, of course, the difficulty In selling oxir manu factured product to countries which must offer in exchange chiefly raw materials that we already have. As the best solution, the conferee sufigested ft. long-range development program on an extremely ambitious jrcale. Although long-range planning may seem a trifle futile in times tike these, the program's main points are well worth study. (U A government apencv, probably the expor!lmport bank, should ini tiate careful economic studies of the various south and central American countries. The studies, to be con ducted In the field by private en gineering firms, should be directed to discovering goods that can be pro duced in South America for which there 1s demand in the United States. Rubber, special hardwoods, manlla fi ber, quinine and the high-cost metal allovs nre amonR the possibilities. (Jt Wh-n the studies are complete, the government agency tn charge should finance South American de velopment along the Unea indicated as economically feasible, using the enirlneertiui firms as dlsrur.lna at- ent Thus, over a period of years, the f-mth Americans would gain wealth which they could exchange fur the prodt.- of the United Stairs, thpv rained wvnith from firuioh exploitation ol their rejouices Brady, M.D. century Ignorance and prejudice translated into village vlndlctlvenesa and petty politics of the vintage of 1910. Let the health department offer vaccination to all who desire It and simply Inform those who refuse it that they do so at their own peril that is the honest truth, for cer tainly it Is not at the peril of any body who is vaccinated. Ql'ESTI OXS AMI A N S W ERR So Argument Correspondent sends newspaper clipping In which Is reported the death of a five-year old child In the office of a physician at the completion of a tonsil and adenoid operation. Death was due to a heart attack, the coroner concluded from postmortem examination. Prior to the operation, physicians said, the child's heart condition had been normal. Correspondent remarks that the tragedy is another argument in favor of the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils and adenoids In preference to the more dangerous surgical tonsillectomy. Answer Since few children under the a?e of six years can co-operate with the doctor in the way neces sary for successful diathermy, the correspondent's observation hardly applies. But the standard tonsil and adenoid operation In any case la a MAJOR operation, and should rarely ii ever De done in a doctor's of. flee. Sweets Before Eating Several women In our group have tried the grapejulce method with no success drinking grapejulce be- rore meals, it is said the grape sugar (glucose) In it is quickly absorbed, gives immediate relief to hunger ana so diminishes the appetite and the consumption of more fattening foods at meal time. (Mrs. E. F.) Answer One sugar Is no better than another in that respect. Ordin ary beet sugar or cane sugar (su crose) Is as easily digestible, as quick ly Hssimnawia, as immediate in re lief of fatigue or hunger as sugar in any other form. Likewise the su gar in milk (lactose, milk sugar) or the sugar In fruit (levulose, fruc tose) or the sugar formed by toast ing starch (dextrose) or by treat ing starch with acid (glucose). Thus any fruit or fruit Juice, candy, ice cream, cake, cookie or other sweet, shortly before the regular meal time, tends to diminish the appetite and lower tne total intake of nutri ment in the meal.

(3) While the long-rangn develop ment Is being carried on, Immediate problems should be taken care of by close cooperntlon between govern mental and business representatives in the field, and exporting business men and the government at home. Everything should be done to facili tate continuous trade expansion, in cluding Increased governmental lend ing to exporters. At the mme time, care should be exercised to keep the expansion well-planned and healthy. In the way of such a program, there are many stumbling-blocks. For instance, the commerce department conferees decided that In order to further the program, flnanciol at taches ought to be appointed to our embassies In Brazil, Chile and the Argentine. This upset the state de partment, as did the conferees' In sistence that the so-called British blacklist ought to be protected agoinst with firmness. Administrative friction will not last, however, for the state depart ment Is also hard at work to Increase South American trade. Much worse stumbling-blocks are such knotty puzzles as the South American debts to this country, and the shortage of foreign exchange. Each puzzle must be tackled sep arately and patiently. Each calls for Its own solution. For example, the British are doing much war buying In the Argentine, but attempting to pay chiefly In blocked sterling or in British securities in Argentine en terprises. Before long, it is expected, the stock of the British-owned Ar gentine railways will be offered for sale In New York. Argentines will probably buy the stock, and, a the railways nre badly oue-or-date, may wish to modernize the lines with American equipment. The question will then be. first, whether the Ar gentines can pay for the equipment, and second, whether they will be able to afford to replace it when necessary, offering a continuing market. Unless both halves of the question can be answered In the affirmative, American equipment pro ducers will not care to venture into ft risky new field. Possibly the very ambition of the South American trade program will prove Its undoing. But, although the broad planning la ambitious, most official insist on great caution in the execution. With luck, results may be expected. : InThe - 'v- Day's News.

Naturally Voroshiloff and all his comrades, like all Russian boleshevik carrion, don't mean any. thing to us. "Whether they glorify or slaughter one another Is their business. At most. It would mean a few less crimi nals In theworld." npHAT'S a nice, "ciubby way for an I Italian to talk about Hitler's new buddies, isn't It? It goes to show how strong the bond of blood brotherhood really is among Europe's gangsters.

SEE DEBT-FREE STATE BY 1960 IF NO IRE BONDS ARE APPROVED SALEM, Oct. 10. ff) Oregon has a total bonded debt of (38.718.083 and will be out of debt In 1960 If It Issues no more bonds, the state treasurer's office said today. Oregon veterans' state aid bonds outstanding, totaling 19,675,000. will be retired in 1951. state highway bonds, totaling $16,841,750. will be paid off In 1960.

Communications Neutrality Cut To r'lt No doubt there are angles to this neutrality program not visible to the common man on the street. But it seems to be generally understood that the present embargo law Is opera ting to the advantage of Germany as against the allies, in Europe; but favors China as against Japan, in Asia, and that the proposed . '.'cash and carry" policy would, under pres ent circumstances, favor the allies in Europe, but be a smashing "blow to China and also to our Pacific shipping Interests. - The problem Is further complicated by Canada being at war with -Germany. Now is Canada fighting tinder the protecting arm of the U. S. or not? Does not our action at Panama throw a protecting belt of neutral waters around all of the Americas, including Canada? Are not those 21 American nations morally bound to mutually defend each other from foreign aggression, such as a Ger man attack on Canada would be? If so then for us to refuse to sell Canada a gun with which to defend herself, Just don't seem to make sense. Two great, entirely distinct wars on opposite sides of the earth, are now In progress. By what authority must the U. S. make Its neutrality policies universal? Could we not retain the Embargo on the Pacific, and enact Cash and Carry for tht Atlantic? Or the embargo for the war In Asia and cash and carry fot the war in Europe? Are we com pelled to deal Just the same with Russia as with Australia? just the same with Japan as with Canada? If so who or what compels us? Must we make our neutrality policies iden tical toward all wars in all places V Who says we must? a single in flexible universal rule will be neith er wise nor Just. Let the United States consult ltV own interests and Its own ideals of right and cut its neutrality policies to fit, in America, in Europe and In Asia. EDWIN DEACON Talent, Ore., Oct. 8, 1939.
