$500 Course for $25
THE Civilian Pilot Training program, conducted
at the Medford airport under the direction of the
Southern Oregon College of Education, seems to have
"bogged down," due to an insufficient number of
primary students for the forthcoming flying course.
This lack of interest is difficult to understand.
Requirements for joining the CPT school cer
tainly are not exacting; the cost to individual students
is moderate $10 for college fee and the expense of
insurance and physical examination. And for this
investment of less than $25, a $500 flying course is
offered, which qualifies the student for a private
pilot's license!
The only added requirement to a satisfactory
physical check-up is one year of college for primary
students and two years of higher education for
secondary course pilots.
IT would seem that when all facts are clearly under
stood by young men between the ages of 19 and
26 years, the primary class here should be quickly
filled and the program continued without inter
ruption.
This particular pilot
time-tried and is thoroughly successful. It has been
going on here day after day, turning out, to date,
nearly one hundred young aviators of both sexes,
who are able and ready to assume their places in
commercial and military aviation. Because rigid
regulations for safe flying have been strictly enforced,
there have been no serious accidents during the entire
period.
IN Southern Oregon, the CPT program is a Med-
ford-Ashland activity. The primary training
affords at least 35 hours of controlled flight training,
alternating dual and solo lessons in a light airplane
at the local port. Added
rules, navigation, meteorology and servicing aid in
safe flying is imparted in the classrooms of the
Southern Oregon College of Education at Ashland.
The secondary program follows through with
added technical instruction and acrobatic maneuvers
in larger and faster planes.
THE astonishing developments in military aviation
and the fast-growing importance of the air force
to all armies and navies
directed attention to the need of training pilots. Thus,
the CPT program has become a national defense
factor, so accelerating the movement that manv
thousands of CPT trraduates have voluntarily
continued their training in the U. S. Navy and Army
Air Corps.
AI7E hope that opportunities afforded by the
" Civilian Pilot Training program will be recog
nized by a goodly number of yountr men here in
southern Oregon, and the
ultimately be filled.

How About
THEORETICALLY at

either resigns or commits
One wonders, therefore, if the time-honored
tradition has been abandoned in Japan, or how does
the Nippon government explain the fact that Foreign
Minister Matsuoka is still on the job.
For at least six months, this brassy and bumptious
exponent of the "new order" in the Far East has done
little but lose face in one diplomatic crisis after
another.
The most recent was his meek acquiescence in the
Dutch East Indies' defiance of the Japanese
ultimatum regarding certain trade demands, to be
followed by his department's reassertion that Japan
harbors only the most peaceable intentions toward
the United States.
In this tableaux, not only did the Japanese foreign
minister lose about all the face he had left, but
slapped himself in the face and called himself a liar!
w
rF course all this back-tracking and duplicity may
be merely a smoke-screen to hide Japan's prepa
rations for an attack on the East Indies when the
opportune moment arrives. At least reports have
been coming in from China recently that a hutre
Japanese fleet has been
toward Mngapore.
But this explanation doesn't appear likely. All
evidence at least points rather to the fact that Japan
realizes it is in a spot in the Pacific and supinely
abandoned its dream of a Japanese hegemony in the
Far East the moment the Roosevelt administration
called its bluff, and established a super air and naval
base in the Philippines.
IN' short, no hih official of a world power in modern
times has lost so much face in so short a time as this
Oregon-educated spokesman of the Mikado. How
then does one explain his retention as the director
of a policy that has become so completely discredited?
Can it be merely the man's colossal nerve, his
consummate brass, which, for the time being, has
overawed the opposition? Or is it rather due to the
fact the tradition of face-saving in Japan was
abandoned, when the imperialists gained control and

ABUSE OF ANALCESICS
An analgesic la a drug which
benumbs or removes sensibility
to pain, ache or other distress.
The m a n u
facturer of a
nostrum which
purports to be
a remedy for
headache, up
set stomach,
indig s t i o n,
"cold s" and
whatnot now
defies public
intell I g e n c e
and the feder
al authorities
by urging use
of the nostrum even for fatigue.
The only Ingredient of the
nostrum that has any significant
medicinal effect Is acetanilide.
Acetanilide Is the active in
gredient in innumerable pro
prietary (commonly called "pat
ent," though they are not pat
ented at all) medicines for
headache, "colds," neuralgia and
the like.
Aside from benumbing sensi
bility acetanilide has no known
remedial effect.
Other drugs similar to ace
tanilide or practically identical
in effect are antipyrin, phena-
cetin (also called acetphenetidin)
and amidopyrin.
An inquiry addressed to more
than 900 physicians by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture some
years ago elicited reports of 28
deaths in 814 cases of poisoning
and 136 cases of habitual use of
acetanilide, antipyrin or phe-
nacetin.
Besides benumbing sensibility
all of these analgesics destroy
red blood corpucles and Inter
fere more or less with the oxygen-carrying
function of the
blood. A characteristic sign of
overdofe or toxic effect Is cya
nosis, that is, bluish or dusky
color of lips, nails, skin.
Since these drugs have no
known remedial value aside
from their analgesic effect, it is
surely foolish for any one to
take them in the childish belief
that they can cure or correct
an ailment or indisposition of
any kind.
To suggest taking a dose of
acetanilide for fatigue is a
vicious thing for the federal
authorities to countenance.
Fatigue is the natural conse
quence of prolonged work, play
or exercise and rest is the only
safe remedy for it. No drug can
possibly banish fatigue or its
(Continued From Page On.)
Employers in the mills of
Oregon and Washington were
put on notice as to this ruling
of the board. Because of this
policy communists have been
employed in key industries
which are working on war or
ders in the northwest, and all
the employers could do was bite
their nails. Most of the strikes
on the west coast can be laid
to this ruling, whether in air
craft plants, mills or logging
camps. M.RB has been taken
out behind the woodshed and

...
THERE are hundreds of un
desirable aliens subject to de
portation, but the immigration
bureau (now In the department
of Justice) has no place to send
them, for their homeland re
fuses to accept them. Many of
these are Russians, but there are
other countries represented. As
matters stand, these undesir
ables can and do enjoy the free
dom of the United States to
wander wherever they desire,
and there appear to be a con
siderable number in the north
west. The administration hereto
fore has done nothing about
them, for there Is nothing that
could be done. Now, however
it is proposed that concentration
camps be established: that these
undesirables be picked up and
placed In a wire fence enclos
ure, supervised by guards.

was taken away from Madam
Perkins, secretary of labor. Har

effects, though any analgesic
will benumb or dull sensibility
to fatigue temporarily.
It is a wicked thing to permit
children or adults to be taught
that they may take a dose of
acetanilide or similar drug when
they feel weary and carry on
indefinitely with the work, play
or exercise that makes them
weary.
This country needs some un
compromising health education
free from the censorship of the
interests that exploit popular
ignorance.

TAKE 'oolt t the map. Re-
read the story of the war to
date, paying particular atten
tion to the fate of the small na
tions that have resisted Ger
many (Greece, Turkey's neigh
bor, being the most recent.)
Your almost certain conclus
ion will be that for Turkey to
fight now would be suicide.
1 .
E would like, of course, to
see Turkey fight Germany.
We'd like to see ANYBODY
fight Germany. So would the
British. The more nations, big
or little, Germany has to fight.
the more strength she will have
to expend and the big Job is
to wear her down.
But from TURKEY'S view
point, the picture is different.
Turkey has to look out for TUR
KEY.
There is plenty of small-nation
proof that Germany's kiss
is the kiss of death, but death
is about all Turkey can hope for
if she fights.

TPAKE another look at your
map. Then try to put your
self in Stalin's place. (You can
be sure Stalin is doing a lot of
looking at the map, and you can
be reasonably sure that what
he sees today doesn't please
him.)
If Stalin decides to fight, his
only possible helper will be Bri
tain, who is extremely busy as
is.
Suppose Britain should TRY
to help.
Turkey's agreement with Ger
many closes the Dardanelles to
the British fleet, even assuming
that it could run the gauntlet
of Crete and the Aegean islands.
Turkey bars the land route,
even if Britain could spare any
land forces to send to Russia.
Fighting doesn't seem to hold
particularly rosy prospects for
Stalin.
CVERYBODY on our side
- (every day commits us more
deeply) would like to see Stalin
fight. Fighting Stalin would ex
tend Germany's efforts, thus
bringing nearer the hoped-for
day when she will crack under
the strain of conquest as oth
er world conquerors have done
since the world began.
Besides, nobody in these parts
is much concerned about who
licks Stalin. We are strictly neu
tral in that respect, if not in
others.
But we must remember that
Stalin is LOOKING OUT FOR
STALIN. He isn't going to sacri
fice himself for somebody else's
benefit.
If he fights, it will be because
he has decided that only by
fighting can Russia hope to re
main a world power.
I ONDON says today (Thurs
Ll day):
"The German-Turkish accord
was interpreted by informed
quarters as virtually an infal
lible portent of a tremendous
new nazi stroke. But the ques
tion remained as to whether it
would be aimed at soviet Russia
or Suei."
London HOPES It will be
against Russia. It is quite pos
sible nobody but Hitler actually
knows where the next blow will
fall.
But the Finns are obviously
scared. Today's dispatches leave
no doubt as to that. Suez is too
remote for the Finns to be pres
ently scared about.
It is a German-Russian ruckus
that will catch them between
hammer and anvil.

Length and Scope of War
May Rest on Soviet Line'
(This dally feature, conducted by DaWitt
being written In his absenca on vacation by
Schmidt).
The exciting sequence of mill-1
tary threats or bluffs which is
going on along the German- i
Soviet border has a direct bear-j
ing on both the length and scope ,
of the war. i
Close students of the Nazi
war plan believe Hitler not only
wants to exploit Soviet economy
to the limit, but also to build
a fluid reservoir for warmak
ing which will stretch from the
Baltic to Indo-China: to enroll
Russia as well as Japan in a
Eurasian bloc under complete
German domination which not
only will be able to feed and
supply the European continent
for a war of Indefinite length
against Britain, but will be able
to take concerted military steps
to destroy Britain's position in
both far and near east.
That Is what can happen If
Stalin gives in and renders eco
nomic, political and military
subservience to Hitler, abandon
ing or at least postponing for a
generation or more all the
bolshevist aims for ultimate
world revolution.
But there is an alternative:
resistance by Russia and a slow,
dogged withdrawal to the cruel
natural fortresses of the in
terior, with the idea of letting
the German blitzkrieg waste Its
strength and possibly founder in
the vastnesses of the Soviet
Union. No one can be sure that
this would happen: it would

however, for any such conjec
ture. The German-Russian af
fair still forms a mammoth puz

tain pieces of the puzzle sug

TO SOUNDPROOF A DOOR
toother Stake ef the Reese ef Seagram
Some of the sound heard through a door passes through the
spaces around its edges. These can be blocked with metal
weatherstrips (or with the felt tape sold for weather stripping).
And for more thorough soundproofing a door can have one
or both sides entirely covered with sheets of Insulating board.
This is done most easily when the door is taken off its hinges
and laid flat The insulating boards should be attached to the
door with an adhesive rather than nails or screws. A liberal
coating of strong casein glue can be used, the boards being
pressed tightly to the door with weights or clamps until the
adhesive has hardened. Holes are cut through the boards for
the knobs and key. Exposed edges of the boards can be kept
from fraying by beveling and painting.
