Medford at the Top

Oregon's traffic safety contest, Medford is tied for first
place In division on with Portland.
That Is a record to be proud oft
And while this city dropped to fourth place for the month of
October, the excellent records of earlier months keep this city in
the top flight.
Members of Medford's Traffic Safety Council, city officials
and public-spirited citizens who have cooperated in this safe driv
ing effort should certainly be commended.

IF our showing for the months of November and December are
favorable, this city has mighty good chance of winning the
state award as the contest will close December 31st. The dis
tinction of being "Oregon's safety city," at least as far as the
larger communities are concerned, will be gratifying. It will point
to tha fact that Medford has a "safety conscious" citizenry, alert
to the importance of caution and common sense behind the wheel.
JT might be pointed out that this month is the most hazardous,
according to National Safety Council statistics. The geniality
and excitement of the holiday season are so frequently converted
into suffering and sorrow.
The council blames the weather, which makes streets and
highways doubly dangerous, more hours of darkness, and the
holiday rush for this blight on Christmas-season happiness . . .
and so much of it la needlessl
LAST year, 3,430 persons died in December traffic ''mishaps;
experience shows that the December death rate on a mileage
basis is one-third higher than the average for ALL months; the
season when joy and happiness should reign supreme is marred
by traffic tragedies that make this time of year ona and one-half
times as hazardous as the safest month June.
Thus; the Christmas spirit of "Peace on Earth, Good Will
Toward Man" undergoes an Ironic transformation.
Isn't it time to make It a SAFE Christmas as well as a Merry
Christmas? .
IN tha hope that Medford will enjoy a SAFE Christmas this year
a and swing solidly into FIRST PLACE in tha state-wide, inter
city traffic contest, we offer these suggestions:
, Drive CAREFULLY. Visibility is poor at this time of year,
streets are wet and slippery. No excuse can be given for speed
that may cost a life.
Be courteous. Let the true Christmas spirit be reflected in
YOUR driving.
And again we say, li you drive, don't drink; if you must
take a holiday nip or two, DON'T DRIVEI
IF you will follow these simple, sensible suggestions, EVERYONE
will enjoy a joyous and SAFE Christmas Medford will win
the coveted traffic safety award and all will be happyl H. G.

Douglas Fairbanks Sr.
' : ,, i ;
ONLY those who know their Hollywood, will appreciate how
genuine will be the mourning there, over the death of
Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.
For while the great romantic screen star, had in a sense retired
both professionally and socially, he was still regarded as the
Grand Exalted Glamor Man of that fantastic Bagdad known as
Hollywood, and was literally first in the hearts of its grease paint
and floodlight citizenry. 1
Yes, Doug had the rare distinction of being a sort of Hollywood
tradition and symbol, and also very much alive. He was the
Irrepressible Peter Pan who never grew up or grew old, be
cause he had the rare good judgment, to quit the silver screen
when he was at the very apex of his career, still leaping over
the gnrden walls, still the cambric-shirted cavalier with a dew
kissed rose for his lady love and a gleaming rapier for the
"Will-un", and so, in the Hollywood sub-conscious he remained.
Moreover he was rich and as such things go in Hollywood, self
respecting and respectable. In a very real sense he was Holly
wood's king without a crown.
I JAP he cared less for himself and his role, and more for his
art he would have gone the way of tha Barrymores. But
none of that for Doug. He had all the money he needed, consider
able fame, he decided to quit while the quitting was good, let
his role be Immortal while some chance for romance In real life
for him remained.

as E. Dewey's immediate future
hinges on a single question. Can
he make enough impression on
the stump to overcome the aver
age politician's distaste for him?
To persuade the hungry, hard-
boiled men at the republican
national convention to name him
for the presidency, he will have
to look like an odds-on bet.

Dewey would prove headstrong,
egotistical and hard to rnnnagc.
A Smart man was Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. And yet the role he
Insisted upon playing was really his undoing. for while
he retired from the movies he never could relinquish that roman
tic role and played It to the end. The mainspring of that role
was youth, exuberant, irrepressible, tireless youth, particularly
along the line of physical dexterity and fitness.

allergic. Among these ailments
are hay fever, asthma, recurring

some cases of

cases ' of eczema (salt rheum,

One function of calcium is
to control or check cell irri

of the capillary channels or
spaces. i
An adequate intake of sun
shine vitamin D is essential for
normal assimilation, utilization
and retention of calcium. For
this reason it is generally ad
visable to administer vitamin D
when calcium is given in medi

Recently many sufferers from
the various allergic conditions
mentioned have found potassium
remarkably beneficial. Five or
ten grains of potassium chlor
ide taken dissolvecr" in a glass
ful of water twice daily for
several days will bring much
relief; in some instances a single
dose of five or ten grains al
ways taken dissolved in plenty
of water, never swallowed as
powder or tablet gives relief.
Their is practically no objection
to such use of potassium chlor
ide, and if necessary it may be
taken for four or five days or
a week at a time, with a rest
then until it may be needed
again. If It brings no relief in
four or five days it is useless
to take any more.

Thla la because he managed to make
himself the state's outstanding can

trict attorney's office and his cam
paign for the governorahlp. Tha New
Yorkers could not go anywhere else.
At the same time, even in New
York, Dewey's position la far from
secure. Por example. Ken Simpson
and Dewey made up their bitter
quarrel at a night-long peace con
lerence. When the pair parted to
ward 4 a. m., Dewey had agreed not
to attack Simpson's leadership, and
Simpson had promised that hla dele
gates would be for Dewey. But
Dewey's original desire had been to
pick the New York City delegates
himself, and thla he did not achieve.

ICKES, referring In one of his
c n a r a c tenstically sneerine
speeches to Cleveland's relief
troubles, says: "Governor Brick-
er (of Ohio) deliberately chose
to risk starvation rather than
spoil his own selfish plans for
a Budget-balancing record in his
own state."
Bricker, replying; says: 'The
New Dealers are playing politics
with human misery. There has
been no starvation in Cleve
land, no neglect of relief in
Ohio. Ickes is merely endeavor
ing to smear the good name of
Ohio for third-term ballyhoo."
Remembering that both Ickes
and Bricker are politicians, you
will be reasonably wise if you
BELIEVE NEITHER.
JJERE is another fairly safe
rule: Whenever you hear
of a relief mess, you can take
it for granted that politics en
ters into the situation some
where. If politics could be kept
out, it would be possible to han
dle even relief without getting
into a mess.

To the Editor:
The German super-liner Bre
men slips out of Murmansk,
Russia, and safely reaches a
German port.
What of it? The English were
asleep to let the Bremen steal
through their blockade? Pos
sibly. Is the return of the Bre
men of no great Importance,
then?
Let us see. Recent rumors
have it that Germany may soon
effect a truce witn the Allies
and then turn against her whil
om partner, Russia. Rumors
are rumors, but this one may
not be as fantastic as some
think. The return of the Bre
men may be an important in
dication of the way the wind
is blowing. Germany, if the
rumor has foundation, would
naturally mistrust the Bremen
in Russian hands.
There is more to bolster the
rumor than this, however. '.-Russia

W orld war. may yet be revived AImu,
at Russia s expense. j HI W. Mam St., Medford.
First, however, there is peace
to be made between Germany
and the Allies. If this war had
begun like the last, with slaugh
ter and atrocities on a grand
scale, peace would probably be
out of the question until both
sides were exhausted or until
one. side had "won." But. for
tunately, this has so far been a
war of "feeling-out."
Hitler and his advisers Der-
haps are not as mad as some
think. Observe how they have
held their great air-force in
leash. No bombing of London
and Paris at the outset of the
war, as commentators were prac
tically unanimous in predicting.
No smashing through Belgium
or Holland in violation' of trea
ties, although it appears Hitler
almost yielded to the tempta
tion a month or so ago. No
great mass onslaught of armies.
Only sea warfare, in the main,
and that on a scale to arouse
no inextinguishable animosities.
Evidently, Hitler has decided
that to smash through into
France as in 1914 is not feas-
loie. fcvidently, he has decider!
that to bomb London and Paris
would only cause retaliation
that would bring the war home
to the German masses in a way
that might embarrass the Nazi
regime.
Peace may yet be made be
tween Germany and the Allies.
But faces must be saved. And
how better than at Russia's ex
pense? Germany would have
to double-cross Russia, true. But
what's another double-cross in
Europe today? And, the beau
tiful part is. Russia asked for
