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

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.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 The basic
tenet of new deal spending economics
Is that the laM frontier has disap
peared. 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

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

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

lief of fatigue or hunger as sugar
in any other form. Likewise the su

ing starch with acid (glucose). Thus
any fruit or fruit Juice, candy, ice

shortly before the regular meal time,
tends to diminish the appetite and
lower tne total intake of nutri

and used it to buy British products.
(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.

Politicians
By Russell Mitchell
Our game of politics Is on.
Each politician sings his song
And woos us with eweet promises.
If we to him our vote will give
He'll pass a law to let us live
In peace and comfort all our lives:
Our unemployed he will feed.
It takes his vote to fill our need
In state or federal congress.
He'll lower taxes, raise our pay
Or shorten labor's hours per day
And guarantee their unions.
He'll Btralghten bankers' troubles out;
He's read and studied all about
The quarrel 'tween capital and labor.
The only thing that's wrong with us
We've put the wrong man in of4ce
To truly represent the people.
But now the man who seeks our vote
Is Just the man for whom we wrote.
He's got the only plan that gets 'em.
But woe to us If he don't win,
The other side, as sure as sin.
Will ruin our democratic system!

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.
