Company A Needs Men IT HAS become increasingly apparent that the Na- tional Guard will have an important place in the scheme of this nation's defense. And it is quite likely that four National Guard divisions will soon be called to active service. The fact that Oregon Guardsmen are slated to receive this intensive training reflects credit upon the quality of leadership and the general personnel of the Oregon National Guard. I TNLESS immediate action is taken, this call will find Medford's Company A, 186th Infantry, short handed. This city's Headquarters Detachment is fully manned but Company A, with a normal strength of 3 officers and 86 men, needs 14 recruits and needs them RIGHT NOW! "THIS partial mobilization for training may be un- dertaken BEFORE the regular gathering of the National Guard at Camp Lewis, scheduled for August 3rd. Need for immediate action is clearly indicated ; new members should be given the rudiments of mili tary training HERE before Company A can be ex pected to perform efficiently in any type of ma neuvers. Thus, 14 young men should Btep forward AT ONCE to fill the gap. Others should be on the wait ing list. It's up to the people of this community to see that Company A is at full strength WITHOUT DELAY. DEASONS why this opportunity to join the Nation- al Guard should appeal to young men are ob vious. Valuable physical and character training is offered; a knowledge of modern military science is imparted to Guardsmen which should open avenues for rapid advancement in case of war. Whether we like it or not, universal military training will probably soon be the order of the day. By enlisting now in the National Guard, young men of this city will enjoy the opportunity of serving with fellow-townsmen. A ND more important it is a patriotic duty an " obligation of good American citizenship to be come fitted for most efficient service to this nation! The annual encampment of the National Guard takes place each year when is most plentiful. It has been men from "joining up". The probability of extended active service entirely changes this picture. think- it over, young man I Employers Can Help IJERE is one tangible way in which THIS com- munity can help. Employers throughout the nation are making it easier for their employees to join the National Guard by giving assurance that jobs will be open at the con clusion of active service. Furthermore, they are in many instances making up the difference between normal salaries and army pay for the three weeks per iod of the annual camp. 1MEDFORD employers might well follow the ex ample. It's the least they can do to further this one im portant phase of our national defense. After all, these young men are doing their level best to learn how to protect this nation. They are willing, and may be called upon, to make far greater sacrifices! DREPAREDNESS for defense of American ideals and our way of life requires MORE than mili tary organization, important as arms, ammunition and fighting machinesi may be. Adequate preparedness requires a UNITED people willing to cooperate and to sacrifice. Love of country and devotion to its traditions constitute our first line of defense. Certainly, the people of THIS community should unite in extending every possible assistance to Com pany A. National Guard Important QRIGINALLY, the National Guard was created as a "Home Defense Corps" for the defense of the separate States. Twenty-three Home guard tlemonstarted its worth on the fields of Fiance as a potent military force, supplementing me Keguiar Army. And Medford's old war-time Company A was in the thick of it during the World War. . TODAY, the National Guard has a strength of 233,- vvv Viuit-llV Mil II, llll'IV 411 C IIVJ llll-lllrtll!.lM forces and the anti-aircraft and coast artillery strength is weak, but Steps are now underway to correct these present weaknesses to bring the National Guard into its own as an important arm of America's defense pro gram. This fact is most encouraging. Many illusions have been shattered in recent months. Americans know that need for adequate protection is immediate and great. JILITARY methods and procedure of even a few " months ago have been discarded as a result of 1940-model blitzkrieg tactics. It is an age of dive bombing and mobile mechanized warfare. This new modern way of conducting a war has brought added emphasis upon the ORIGINAL func tion of the National Guard home defense. The in creasing range of airplanes and navy craft has clear- work in southern Oregon a factor in keeping young years ago, the lowly lly shown the importance of I : tt l .! j nil II al b ctnu tuanbai ucieuse IUUU9. . IN THIS defense of America's home shores, the Na- tional Guard will unquestionably play an import ant role. If the Guardsmen can assume much of the burden of coast and anti-aircraft defense, the Regu lar Army, relieved of these duties, will find it possible to develop a highly efficient field force 6trong in fighting power. Other National Guard units will un doubtedly supplement this regular field force, re ceive training in aviation, mechanized warfare and other useful fields of defense. And so. obviously, there is immediate need for a FULL STRENGTH National Guard. That means Company A, 186th Infantry ... It means EVERY Guard unit in EVERY American city! H. G.

I 2 COMMON FALLACIES Diabetes Is not a disease of the kidneys, but a deficiency in .the function of the islands of Langer- hans, special ized groups of cells in the p a n c r e as or abdominal s w e e t b read, and perhaps some associat ed deficiency in the function of the liver. Chronic ne phritis devel ops ultimately In many cases of diabetes as a manifestation of arteriosclerosis. Arterioscler osis is responsible for more than half of the deaths in diabetes to day; has been demonstrated by X-ray in 00 per cent of cases of ten years or more duration. There is no ground for the no tion that the sugar of honey or fruit or this or that special fruit or vegetable is more suitable for one with diabetes than plain cane sugar or common starch. So far as the nutrition of a healthy individual or a diabetic individual is concerned, there is no evidence that one form of sugar or starch is more digest ible, more quickly available for energy or snore beneficial in any way than any other form or sugar or sttttch. If oatmeal, fof .instance, is bet ter utilized by, one with diabetes than things made of white flour old time physicians thought an oatmeal diet was superior (or diabetics It la not because the carbohydrate (starch or sugar) in oatmeal is better than the car bohydrate in white flour but perhaps because oatmeal is rich in vitamin B, in which white flour is poor, and vitamin B promotes better assimilation and utilization of carbohydrate jn the normal person and in the dia betic. It is a grave mistake to assume that one with diabetes "may eat" other items which contain sugar or starch. No one can live and thrive without reasonable amount of sugar or starch, not even a diabetic. The important problem in every case of diabetes is to determine the patient's tolerance for carbohy drate that is, how much he or she can utilize and then ar range a diet which will provide that much carbohydrate and no more. This carbohydrate toler THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, July 13 If the men around the President arc to be trusted, the drama of Chicago has been so well pre pared that, barring accidents, the playeri.ought to speak their lines as though the show had been on tour for months. The President hirmclf has taken an active hand in the staging working hard on plans through these last days, chiefly with a small New Deal group. tven to this Intimate circle, he has given no positive aord of his Intentions But as a',1 their labors have been bated on the unspoken assumption that he would accept rrnomlnation. the. men are m-Te tmlllir than anv ethers that the I third -term effort will he made- If the preewlent relutes hi. part s call, he will astonish all the men closest tn him. aa well aa all the Democratic leaden and the vast majority of voters.

CONCERNING DIABETES ance changes from time to time and the successful treatment of diabetes demands periodic tests of carbohydrates tolerance and adjustments of the diet to suit the patient's tolerance. Insulin is never habit-forming, as benighted persons sometimes imagine. It is the normal, indis pensable secretion of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas or "sweetbread" gland of a healthy individual, into the blood; it is as essential for the oxidation, combustion or con version of carbyhydrate into fuel or energy as the ordinary secretion of the pancreas into the duodenum or intestine is for the digestion and absorption of food.

This task baa been made easy, howex-er. by the wrltlrw of most of the platform at the White House well in advance of the convention's start. While the platform committee is ostentatiously meeting and discuss ing matters already decided, or re ferring to tht White House such new 1 problems as may arise, there will be the usual key-note and other speeches. Then, with the platform and the mora formal oratory out of tha way. Hi. delegates will get down to the real business of picking a standard-bearer. As there are nearly SOO delegates now pledged to renominate the presi dent, the delegates an not expected to have much trouble. The present plan ta that when the nominating speechea are In order. Alabama will vlld to New York. John Mack, a New Tork politician and Intimate friend of the president's who nomi nated him in isaiand 13. will make the apeech putting tha president's name before the delegatea. There will then be a demonstra tion, in which the real enthusiaun of many delegates wUl be Impres sively combined with the pnctlced nol.-maktng of the henchmen of such third-term msgnlflcoe. as Chi coa Ed Kelly.

Vice-President John N Oarner will also be put tn nomination when the flemonstrstlon subsided Other as ptranta probably will not trouble to have their names even mentioned, however. The roll call will follow The grand tender will be made. And the preal dent will then accept in a statement declaring that ha has not asked for and do, not want a third terra, reminding the delegates that be haa repeatedly expressed a deeln to re turn to private life, but explaining that in such time, aa ihM no man who is called upon to serve can well refuse. txr.pt thst there ara reports from source, drarrrtrtg attrition tbat 1r statement outlined ao wlU ba made aa tha contention meets, little I dUagroement about what wtu nap pen at Chlcage Is to be discovered among men who ought to know. To repeat, if tb president upaeta the whole schedule by refusing tha nomi nation, ha win have tooled every man close to him except James A. Parley, to whom ha has actually confided bis Intention. Judging by appearanoea. therefore, the only mat ter remaining to be settled Is that of the vice-presidency. That Justice William O. Douglas la tha president a choice for second man on tha ticket Is now unques tioned. Douglas himself haa let It be known, with unmistakable frank ness, that be doesn't want the Job. The real obstacle to tha president's getting hia way, however, la the violent opposition to Douglas among the more orthodox Democratic lead en. Jim Parley la reported to have expressed this opposition at Hyde Park. Other leaden have vociferously told the President they did not want Douglas. The pressure Is so strong that tha prealdent now aeems not unlikely to yield. The second choice la Secretary of atate Cordeli Hull, but he appean to be even mora determined not to be named than Douglas Is. Thus It Is not all all Impossible that the mantle will eventually pass to Sena tor James P. Byrnes of South Caro lina, who will do a far better Job aa vice-president than either Douglas or Hull. Active vice-presidential candidates are si no numerous. Speaker of the House WUltam B. Bankbead, House Leader Sam Rayburn, Pedenl Secur ity Administrator Paul V. McNutt and several of-ers ara on tha list. But on the whole, Byrnes, who Is snythlng but active. Is probably the best bet. By Frank Jenkins. TIIE Democratic "national" convention, drearily ap proaching its one-man decision, reminds us of Theodore Roose velt's famous story. T. R., when he was ranching in South Dakota, met a neigh bor on the prairie one day. The neighbor's face wax long and gloomy. His shoulders sagged, and his mustaches drooped. He was a perfect picture of dis illusionment. "What's the matter, Sam?" T. R. asked. "You look as if you'd lost your last hope." "I'm goin' to town to git drunk," Sam responded, deject edly, "and gosh how I dread it!" THIS writer, who would like as well as anyone to call the turn on what will happen at Chicago next week, hasn't a single Idea that is Intelligent enough to go out on a limb with as a prediction. It's all up to F.D.R.. who will have power enough in the convention to do WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO. If you can read his mind, you know what will happen. About all that the delegates to the Democratic convention know is that they're headed for Chicago to carry out F.D.R.'s wishes. UINTS in today's world news: 1 The British, faced with a new German submarine cam paign whose purpose is to de stroy ships that carry food to England, are planning a scien tific diet whose purpose Is to get the best possible nutritive results with the least possible amount of food.

THERE Is no one In sight who can fill Parley's niche as headman of the Democratic machine. Rumen, and they am only rumors, mention Boas Kelly, of Chicago: Boas Hague, of New Jersey, and Harry Hopkins, secretary of commerce. None of these, however, have a penonal contact with the army of precinct workers throughout the nation. Of course, the break at Chicago between Mr. Roosevelt and Parley may not eventuate, but then la no doubt about it' In the opinion of Jim's close friends. The parting of the ways will come In the same convention hall when In July, 1932. Parley made his successful fight for delegates for Mr. Roosevelt. mm Washington scene Cryptic remark when Democratic Leader Barkley asked Republican Leader McNary to agree to a recess from July 12 to July 29, "We may not be able to complete the Job In Chicago tn one week." If Mr. Roosevelt posi tively refused to be nominated this would throw the convention Into confusion and cause a scramble for delegates, resulting In a free-for-all fight. Emll Hurja, who compiled the statistics on which Parley pre dicted Roosevelt would lose only two states in 1936, has gone Into the Wlllkle camp, having severed his connection with the Democratic na tional commute two yeara ago.
