Perrin. 65, Oregon City, who disappear ed while on a stroll Thursday was recovered from tha Willam tie river yesterday. It's up to Medford AS stated a few days ago, the important thing about ho armv rnntnnmpnt. at this time are not. the benefits but the obligations. If anv doubt existed in this direction, the same was removed at the Friday luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce, when Myron Hunt, architect in charge, told a few truths, most of them unpleasant. In fact no doubt should exist now in any quar ter,' that this cantonment project, presents the most compiicatea ana serious civic pruoiem m iui-ai Hist ory, and the community is going to need the best ability and highest intelligence it can muster to suc cessfully solve it. BUT it CAN be done. Medford has never fallen down on any important job yet. This is no time to begin. Booster talk and Humdinger jargon, are not needed. The less of that sort of thing, the better. . What will be needed what IS needed is hard work, intelligently directed, with intelligent direc tion the more important. So boys, girls, lets get the best brains we have organized and functioning at the earliest possible moment 1 For this job, is not only going to need hard work, it is going to need wisdom, resource and imagination. It is also going to need the best brand of civic spirit, the spirit of unselfish public service, that we have, and no community in the state of Oregon, po tentially at least, has a better. T'OMMITTIES and sub-committees are important. The sooner they are named and get going the better. But most important, in the opinion of this paper, is a competent directing head, a leader and coordina tor, who can be on the firing line, not only when his normal business doesn t interfere, but ALL iHb TIME! For this cantonment business, isn't a part time job, its an all-time job, and unless confusion is to be worse confounded, and vast energies oaaiy neeaea are to be wasted ; responsibility should be concentra ted in one person, and that person should be the BOSS. the directive and administrative head of this cantonment project with the various committees and sub-committees under him. ..... XHTH no such "boss" the Mail-Tribune greatly fours tho fatal iinx of all such endeavors. everybody's business becomes nobody s business, and a hundred times the cost of such an administrative head, is lost, in confusion, divided responsibility, du plication, and wasted effort. Finally let this point be stressed: UNLESS the civic duties involved in this under taking, are assumed promptly and successfully dis charged, not only with dispatch but witn true via ION, this cantonment we worked so hard to get, will not prove a community asset, but a liability. ' For French Consumption THE speech by Admiral Darlan, was undoubtedly for home consumption. For certainly it will have little effect in London or Washington. Deeds speak louder than words, particularly when a war is on. And all of the French vice-premier's assurances, that France will never declare war on England, or hand over the French fleet to Germany; mean little in comparison with the fact, that France allowed Germany to use her air bases in Syria, and declares she will f ight to the death against any British attempt to seize them. MOREOVER, while Admiral Darlan, was very guarded in his statements, the implications throughout were to the effect, that the Vichy govern ment has picked Hitler to win, and intends to stand by the winner, letting the consequences be what they may. So while the present government of France un doubtedly has no intention of declaring war on Eng land, or turning over its fleet to Germany, (or any other nation) it does intend, to abandon its former ally and throw its fortunes in with the totalitarian "new order," not because it loves Germany or hates Britain, but because, it believes such a course will be the best guarantee of a secure and desireable French future. In other words as before stated in this column, France, realistic, materialistic and self centered, again demonstrates she can always be depended up on to be 100 loyal. to FRANCE I Personal Health Service By WUUam Brady M. D. From removal of a wen or mole to altering the contour of the nose, sculptural plastic or cosmetic surgery demands the finest training and the ut most skill. which only the qualified reputable phy sician and sur geon has. Too often the mis guided Indi vidual who seeks such t r eatment takes the char latan or quack at his own solicitation forget ting that a really capable and reliable doctor Is sufficiently recommended by his satisfied patients and only the one who is not so good has to use other means of getting patients. It is true that the ordinary layman seeking a plastic ' or sculptural surgeon is peculiarly at a disadvantage.

Surgeons who limit their practice to correction of these cosmetic faults or blemishes and to reconstructive surgery (pre venting and ameliorating ef fsts of wounds, burns, scars) seem to have an inferiority com plex like that of the dentists (in relation to the general medical profession). At least I have found it difficult to learn what physic ians or surgeons in the com munity are qualified to give such treatment. Apparently they hesitate to acknowledge this, just as many dentists use only the title Doctor on their pro fessional stationery and leave you to guess whether they are near-doctors, queer-doctors or just too dumb to know what it is all about. Perhaps the wise course to follow if you contemplate cos metic or sculptural surgery of any kind and do not know of such a surgeon whose reputa tion is unquestionable, is to ask the guidance of your own fam ily physician or any physician of layman or a stranger in the com-: standing in your own commun- munity who has occasion to con- ity. He or she will refer you to suit a physician, surgeon or spec- a reliable plastic surgeon. Once I a cantonment, but It may, on j the other hand, be a station for the army air corps. Two large airports are being developed at I Burns and at Redmond, a score of miles from Bend. Nearest army air corps station to the Bend-Burns region is the bomb er group at Pendleton. For maneuvers centnt Ore gon would be ideal for troops; there is an abundance of idle land public domain available and very few settlers. Much of the terrain is blood-drenched from the wars between the Bannacks, Piutes, the troops under Gen. O. O. Howard and even earlier military expedi tions in the 1850s. in fact, first general knowledge of many sections of central Oregon was gained by military expeditions For more than 40 years that part of Oregon has been ignored by the soldiers of Uncle Sam. War department planners are once more giving it serious con sideration for air corps or. a cantonment. On land as blank as the Bend-Burns region the army has assembled many thou sands of troops in the south western states, where they are housed under canvas instead of in wooden barracks. ialist but knows of none, may easily obtain the names and of fice addresses of a few reput able ones by telephoning the of fice of the local County medical society and asking for the in formation. This is a public ser vice provided by the medical society free of charge, as an ethical duty. Of course the phy sicians, surgeons or specialists whose names are so provided are members or fellows of the medical society. Would you want one who isn't? Would you choose a lawyer who is not recognized by the bar associa tion? But if you seek a cosmetic surgeon or a plastic or recon structive surgeon, you may not find It so easy. In the first place the medical profession as a whole is still pretty narrow about some things, and so, while some two dozen specialties are formally recognized as special ties, among them surgery, ortho pedec surgery (correction of de formities) and industrial surg ery (treating injuries of indus trial employees) the A. M. A., does not recognize doctors who limit their plactice to corrective surgery, and therefore the local county medical society's infor mation bureau will find it dif ficult to give you the name of corporation is not Inclined to! make a loan to mine the ore j and have it smelted. ... PRESSURE is being applied on the president to cut off the supply of gasoline and fuel oil to the Japanese by Pacific coast congressmen. Most of the liquid fuel used by Japanese warships and aviation is flowing from the wells of California and into Japanese tankers. Scrap iron has been stopped going to Ja pan, it is pointed out, and gasoline should be the next curtailment. Dog tags will soon be offered to Oregon dog owners at 50 cents each by Barkers for Brit ain, a subsidiary of Bundles for Britain.

THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER (Continue Prom Pse. On. DUT undoubtedly the French people are dubious, discontented and fearful. In Africa many desert ions to the De Gaulle banner are reported, while the independent and intensely nationalistic French spirit, can't help but be palled and broodinply resentful over such a military control by a recently hated foe, as exists in the occupied portion of France. Therefore, this reassuring speech by Tetain's dor secretary of Navy Jam chief lieutenant that what is being done, and has oeen none, involves no surrender 01 rrencn Pori-iboth former bankers, and by This does not meai,. of course. that Harry L. Hopkins is to be superseded as the most influen tial member of the president's entourage. On the contrary, the idea of enlarging the president s staff seems to have originated with Hopkins. It was Hopkins who sounded out Datt. Having rather sensibly realized that he could not handle all the work the president wanted done. Hop kins apparently proposed that other men be chosen to supple ment him, in addition to the small group of younger men who are already members of his staff. ... ASSUMING that the above " - theory is correct, there is little likelihood that the en largrd White House staff will be composed chiefly of New Deal ers, who will elbow the busi nessmen out of their present po sitions in the government. On the contrary. In talk with men around him, the president has shown that he Is remarkably im pressed with the work of some of the businessmen brought to Washington by the defense ef fort. A curious distinction Is made by the president's circle. Thev express disappointment witn the eminent industrialists who staff the OFM. But they express satisfaction with the lawyers and financiers who staff the War and Navy Departments There is a good reason for this A record of achievement has been made by such men as Vn- es IN truth. It will be difficult for the New Deal group ever to regain its former power for the trend of government away from domestic affairs has decreased the Importance of the group. The New Dealers no longer have an easy access to the White House where the president is preoccu pied with foreign policy and de fense problems. Except for one or two people, such as Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. few of the New Deal leaders have given any evidence of their old-time fervidness In behalf of the president's policies. Thomas G. Corcoran, who was the dy namo of the New Dealers, Is practising law, and although a determined effort was made by his friends a few months ago to land him an important job at the navy department, there is every reason now to believe that he intends to remain in private life for some time. In short, even the most ardent New Dealers see little chance of their re turn to favor. Whether or not you approved the policies and methods of the New Deal group, it did give the government an extra drive that was important in getting things done. And it may well be that the new staff which the presi dent is gathering around him will some day assume an im portance within the government comparable to that once achiev ed by such White House favor ites as Corcoran and Benjamin V. Cohen and their followers. PROVIDED a cantonment is decided upon, it would give impetus to a military highway south toward Pacific highway (U. S. route 99) and north to the Columbia river where there are several . military activities. At present any plans for de velopment of national defense in central Oregon are foggy; nothing is beyond the whisper stage; scouting there has been for information and nothing will be done unless the army is in creased (which it will be) and congress votes money. With these two provisos taken care of, something may happen or may not. Military missions are not riding around the country merely to look at the scenery of the wide-open spaces and wearing civilian clothes in order not to appear conspicuous. HERE is another bit of dope. There are three places on the Oregon coast surveyed for the purpose of selecting a firing range for an anti-aircraft bat talion several battalions. One is somewhere in the Tillamook country, another is south of Newport and a third is in the vicinity of Bandon. The choice appears to rest between Bandon and Newport. War department wants a space where the bat talions can be trained in use of anti-aircraft part of the coast artillery) without doing damage. Answer to this is firing out into the Pacific ocean where shells can burst and drop into the sea with danger to no one. Halibut fleet, of course, and coastal steamers would be notified to keep clear. The anti - aircraft battalions Shall Wo Surrandor? To the Editor: So the navy couldn't keep the ship yard producing! Six or eight hundred work men who wanted to work in the San Francisco ship yards, and had been employed there until the CIO strike was called, were escorted through the picket line by "blue-jackets' and while they worked the managers of the two plants ad mitted they couldn't keep the production up to par. Why did the navy mix Into the mess and get a "black eye out of it if they knew they couldn't go the whole distance? What is the "whole distance?" In this case the whole distance would be to put the plants un der government supervision and the workers under martial law. In other words, give them a dose of what Hitler gives everyone who comes under his domination There are plenty of ways to get men to do their duty. I In this case, the best and easiest way is to "weed out" the union "big shots," starting with John L. Lewis and Green and so on down the line, and let the real Americans step for ward with their tools and go to work. There's plenty of them who want to, and competent too. Are 10 million labor un ionists to tell the other 130 million what to do? This does not mean the elim ination of unions and collective bargaining. It does mean the smashing of the hold the nazis and the communists have had on American labor for 20 years. If we don't care to take this step, I think it might be better to tell England we can't do as we promised and lay down on the job like the yellow-livered cowards we'd be. The price of liberty is blood, toil, tears, money and eternal vigilance. Let those 120 million people tell the union heads Mrs. George B. Dean wins grand prize in flower show.

Kelly's Comment rrom Washington Central Oregon Eyed for Bate Firing Range 1 Sought On Coast Minerals Policy Not Yet Drawn By John W. K.lly 100 miles inland, if necessary, but if this far back (it would be camping in Willamette val ley) good highways, military roads over which to move the heavy anti-aircraft equipment are required. A glance at the Oregon state highway map may provide a dlue. Before anyone becomes excited, it is proper to state that at present there are not enough anti-aircraft guns to defend Portland and months will elapse before a sufficient number have been manufac tured to equip the numerous battalions planned for all sec tions of the United States. Another matter: If possible, of ficers say, they do not wish to shoot over the Oregon coast highway, preferring a location between the highway and the surf. Finding a spot meeting these requirements is still go ing on. ... SENATE subcommittee on military affairs, appointed at the request of Rufus Holman, who is a member of the com mittee, to investigate the native resources of strategic minerals in the Pacific northwest has accumulated a mass of material but has not yet evolved a policy as to what shall be done with it. Enough has been shown, how ever, to convince members of the subcommittee that develop ment of these metals should not be delayed.
