Eugene and the Cantonment
From tht (Eugene) Register -Guard
Of course, Eugene wants an army cantonment
and an air base ! There should be no false modesty
on this score. Of course, adopting some 35,000 new
people into the community is going to create some
problems, but those problems are not going to be
nearly so difficult as many suppose. Let's take a
look at the situation at Fort Ord, a camp very much
like the one proposed for Eugene.
Fort Ord sits about half way between Monterey
and Salinas on the edge of Monterey Bay ; about five
miles from Monterey and seven from Salinas; each
city has around 11,000 population.
Are these cities "swamped" with soldiers? Not
so you can notice, except possibly on weekends. Most
of the time the 35,000 men at Fort Ord are VERY
BUSY. Only a few supply trucks and special details
go into the towns.
Is there a housing problem? Nothing serious!
During the construction period some 5,000 to 10,000
workmen were housed in a remodelled WPA camp
and trailer camps and normal room and cabin ac
commodations. Now that the soldiers have arrived,
most of the men and officers live in barracks. Of
ficers' families have been absorbed in the nearby
towns, Salinas, Monterey, Carmel. Families of en
listed men are being housed in a special government
project. RENTS AND PRICES ARE NORMAL!
Is there a "morals problem?" Sure ! Just like the
one we have always had in Eugene and every other
town and only in normal proportion to the number
of human beings. However, the army has its own
efficient Military Police. Recently the army closed
the "red light" which had always flourished at
Salinas, "an open town;" the army is really much
more particular than local authorities.
What recreation must be provided? Every "army
city" is soon to have certain club facilities for soldiers
when they come to town. In San Francisco a $40,000
structure is rearing completion. However, each camp
has an extensive program of athletics, theaters.
amusements of all kinds.
soldiers scatter over hundreds of miles.
What does a town "get
$1,000,000 per month of additional cash spending.
Even though main items of food and clothing are pur
chased through the big army depots, a cantonment
will still spend $136,000 a month locally on upkeep;
enlisted men will spend an average of $10 a month
apiece locally; officers perhaps $100 a month, and
civilian employes (about 1500 of them) at least $50
a month apiece.
That s what they'll tell
Sure, the presence of an
every problem of city and school district economy,
but the army is a mighty good neighbor and pays its
way. i ou near a little rumbling in army towns ; you d
hear a terrible yell if you tried to take a cantonment
away.
Won't there be a terrible letdown when it's all
over? Bound to be some letdown, but in Salinas and
Monterey they have done a pretty good job of shut
ting out speculative business development and taking
care of the increased business through normal busi
ness channels. Furthermore, there is the certainty
that some camps will be retained in the permanent
army structure, and those will be the towns which do
the best job meeting the army's needs.
THE

Ing side by side, can defeat

THE reasons why these things

and the men around him are
only obscure to the average
American because Ignorant, or
ambitious, or partisan men have
been carrying on a purposeful
campaign to make them ob
scure. The first and most ob
vious reason for self-confidence
is the American navy.
Sea power, allied with air
power, is still the decisive fac
tor. The American navy Is a
magnificent Instrument of sea
power, strong, fully ready, fine
ly organized and finely com
manded. Its air arm is Indisput
ably the best In the world. Its
blue water fighting ships are
the equal of Britain's, and far
better than those of any other
power. The naval war plans
have been prepared.
If they are brought down
from the shelf, part of the fleet
will hold the Pacific, while the
rest goes into action In the At
lantic. There is no doubt In the
mind of the competent officers
that our navy, in partnership
with Britain's. Is strong enough
to dissuade the Japanese from
any direct attark upon us in
the Pacific, while winning the
crucial battle of the Atlantic
Indeed, it Is estimated that the
battle of the Atlantic can be
won in less than a month's time.
Once it Is won, both American
and British naval power will be
i available for use in other vital
'areas of the war.

army cantonment adds to
ductlon. In the past, poor or
ganization and a weak labor
policy threatened to nullify this
country' vast productive re
sources, which are SO percent
of the productive resources of
industrial capitalism In the en
tire civilized world. Now, how
ever, the president has at last
made his labor policy strong,
and while the organization of
production Is still far from
ideal, It has been Improved.
All along the line, the psy
chology of business as usual is
weakening. Everywhere, In ord
nance. In ammunition, in tanks.
In chemicals and In airplanes,
production la being stepped up.
The airplane program, most im
portant of all, has Just been
re-arranged and broadened to
give a gigantic striking force in
12 months, and an all but over
whelming one in 18. The goods
are beginning to pour off the
assembly lines. By next spring
our output will be a flood of
war materials, sufficient to
change the course of the war if
they can still be used.
The third reason for self-confidence
Is the great improve
ment now In progress In our
air force and army. Both were
starved and kicked around for
many years. Both Inevitably
still suffer from such treatment.
But the able chief officers and
civilian officials of the war de
partment are bringing both air
force and army up to the need
ed strength at astonishing speed.
The air corps has already been
radically re-organlzed, given a
new place in the sun, and made
into a fighting weapon which,
while not as powerful as It will
be soon, Is at least very useful
And the army has already be -n
greatly expanded, and Is ex
panding further every month.
Finally, the fourth reason for
self-confidence Is the strategic
position of this country In t!xj
world. While we constantly un
der-estimate our strength, every
other nation tends to over-esM
mate It. American action will
therefore affect war time mor
ale everywhere more quickly
and more fundamentally than a
bombing raid affects a city. In
Britain, the leaders and Deople
will renew their determination

LET'S LOOK AT MILK
The minerals in milk cal- fermented milk, such as Bui-
cium, magnesium, potassium,
sodium, phosphorus, chlorine,
sulphur, iron,
iodine, copper,
manganese
help to offset
the lack of
m 1 n e r als In
most of the
fats, sugars
and refined ce
r t a 1 products
which make up
the everyday
diet of most of
us. Especially
calcium, which
Is the element In which the mod
ern refined diet la most common
ly deficient. One function of
calcium in physiology is to
regulate excitability of nerves
if there is calcium deficiency
the nervous system is more irri
table or less calm or steady
under excitement.
Evaporated milk is pure cows'
milk minus Vialf of Its water.
It is convenient and economical
when fresh milk is not avail
able. The evaporation process
has little effect on the vitamin
A and vitamin D In the milk,
but reduces B one-fifth and
destroys most of the vitamin C.
Condensed milk differs from
evaporated milk in that it is
sweetened by sugar, which is
added to preserve it. Condensed
milk is evaporated by a less
drastic heating than that used
for evaporated milk. Both are
evaporated in vacuum pans, but
the temperature is not higher
than 160 to 180 degrees F.
(below boiling point) in the
process for condensed milk,
whereas evaporated milk is pre
served by sterilization at from
230 to 240 degrees F. (well
above boiling point) for from
half an hour to an hour. Sweet
ened condensed milk contains
not less than 28 per cent of milk
solids and not less than 8 per
cent of milk fat. Evaporated
milk contains not less than
23.3 of milk solids and not
less than 7.8 per cent of milk
fat.
Probably condensed sweet
ened milk, unlike evaporated
milk, retains some of its vita
min. C. During the first World
war scurvy In children was both
prevented and cured by feeding
8 ounces of sweetened con
densed milk per day per child.
In any circumstance it would
be well to give some fresh fruit
Juice, fresh vegetable juice,
factory canned tomato Juice, or
tablet of pure vitamin C
(ascorbic acid, cevitamic acid,
cevitabs) daily to child or adult
depending largely on evaporat
ed or condensed milk.
Dried powdered milk has the
same food value as ordinary
milk, except that it contains
practically no vitamin C. If the
use of dried powdered milk is
convenient there Is no reason
why it should not be used, so
far as human nutrition is con
cerned. Skimmed milk (skimmed of
cream by hand, or separator)
or buttermilk has approximate
ly one-half the nutritive value
of whole fresh milk, the dif
ference being mainly in the
amount of fat about 4 per
cent in fresh whole milk, one
half of one per cent in skimmed
milk or buttermilk.
Buttermilk, sour milk and
various types of cultured or
to fight on to the end. In the
neutral powers like Spain,
where psychology is so signifi
cant, the will-to-resist nazi pres
sure will be Incalculably rein
forced. And in Germany itself,
no propaganda will be able to
weaken or turn aside the im
mense force of the blow.
CUCH are the reasons for self
confidence. Those who do
not accept them as good reasons
must assume that the president,
the members of his cabinet, the
chief of staff, the chief of naval
operations and all other import
ant members of the administra
tion are either blind fools or
frivolous adventurers. For if
they did not have confidence in
their country, only folly or evil
motives could excuse the policy
they have followed.
Just little less than three
years ago, writing of the strange
impotence of this country dur
ing the Munich crisis, your cor
respondents recalled "The Hol
low Men." which is perhaps the
finest poem of the finest living
American poet, T. S. Eliot. They
quoted from it Eliot's Invoca
tion of the people of his time:
"We are the hollow men.
"We are the stuffed men.
"Leaning together,
"Headpieces filled with straw.
"Alas! our dead voices."
If this country does not soon
regain the the self-confidence it
has so strangely lost, it will be
time to quote also the poem's
terrible last line: "This Is the
way the world ends:" This is
the way the world rm't' Not

garian. Acidophilus, Kumiss and
Kefir, are all wholesome and
healthful enough for any one
who likes them, but in my
opinion ordinary buttermilk or
sour milk is as effective as any
of them as a remedy for what
ever you imagine ails you. Or
for that matter if you consume
your quota of plain milk dally

as though you ingested some

Ultraviolet
If the ultrsTlolet from electric
welding causes cataract does the
ultraviolet In sunshine have a simi
lar effect on the unprotected eyes?
(Mrs. K. H. W.)
Answer It Is 'not occasional or
casual exposure to Intense ultra
violet light but frequent or constant
exposure as in occupations Involving
use of electric welding. Ordinary
exposure to bright sunshine Is harm
less, though frequent or constant
exposure of the eyes might be harm
ful. Welders and others working
with or near the electric are should
have the protection of special masks
or goggles. In sun bathing wear
black bandage or smoked glass gog
gles. On the sand or water or snow
protect the eyes from glare with
smoked glass or dark tinted glass
spectacles or goggles. It la hot ad
visable to wear tinted or smoked
glasa eyeglasses constantly it does
not prevent eyestrain, aa many Im
agine. It Is not advisable to wear
any kind of glasses, goggles or eye
shades If you can get along comfort
ably without.
Hemorrhoids

Editorial Comment
The Air Corps Looks Us Over
(Salem Capital Journal)
Adding confirmation to re
ports that the army air corps
is actively seeking suitable stra
tegic locations for secondary air
posts up and down the Pacific
coast, and that Salem is being
seriously considered for one
such post, a representative of
the army engineering corps was
here yesterday investigating fa
cilities available at the local
airport. His inquiries included
the availability of:
1. A plentiful supply of
pure water at a reasonable
depth.
2. A convenient railroad
siding for the loading and
unloading of supplies.
3. Nearest CCC camp or
other accommodations avail
as temporary quarters for a
squadron of fliers and me
chanics. 4. Adequate ground imme
diately adjoining the airport
for construction of a suitable
parking area for 20 bombers
and similar army planes.
5. Additional ground to ex
tend the north-south runway
(now being paved bv the
CAA) from 4200 to 6200 feet.
For Salem the fulfillment of
all of these requirements is
absurdly simple. Test borings
have already established the
presence of plenty of pure wa-
