Medfords Housing Problem
ITTILIZING the services ot experienced school
census takers, the local cantonment coordinating
board will undertake an immediate and comprehen
sive survey of housing facilities in and near Medford.
It is wise action. There will be need for additional
housing facilities to accommodate the increased
population the moment construction of "Camp
Medford" is authorized.
IJNDOUBTEDLY there are many usable residence
units in and near Medford now: remodeline of
other structures will provide added accommodations.
Certainly, these units should be put to use BEFORE
a sweeping construction program is undertaken. It

Such unity CAN be attained, on the question of

READERS SOMETIMES G
When a correspondent tells

sonably sura I

denial. It you
have an article
entitled "Con

ly too childish

they twit me with inconsisten
cies or absurdities in my own
monograph! or booklets, that j
a serious matter.
For example Mrs. C. G. comes
tripping up with the following
extraordinary statement:
"I followed the regimen
given in your booklet 'Rules
for Reduction" (Design for
Dwindling) and found that
my hunger was satisfied with
considerably less food than I
had always needed before and
my weight was reduced from
165 to 140 pounds. 1 am five

At this point in Mrs. G's letter
I figuratively patted myself on
the back. While plumo girls.

ally good natured and lovable
enough, if you can show 'em
how to regain a youthful figure
without severe self-denial or im
pairment of good health and
good looks, you've got 'era prac
tically Indentured. .
So Mrs. G's next remark
changed everything.
"But I developed arthritis in
my feet," she observes, and
wrote for your booklet "The Ills
Called Rheumatism.' You list
rice pollshlngs as one of the
causes of arthritis. Rice polish
ing! contain vitamin B. My
doctor advises vitamin B to help
arthritis. But vitamin B in
creases appetite. So there I am,
in a circle. What to do?"
I can't find any mention of
rice pollshlngs in the booklet.
On p. 15 I mention polished rice,
along with refined corn meal,
syrups, sugars and white flour,
as constituting the refined car
bohydrates of which most peo
ple lake, too much tor the good
ot their health anyway. Pol
ished rice is the ordinary white
or pearl rice. The rice bran or
surface coat removed by polish
ing constitutes rice pollshlngs,
and rice polishlngs are rich in
vitamin B. Refined white rice
is poor in vitamin B. So called
red or brown rice, that is, na
tural unpolished rice, or wild
rice, Is therefore preferable if
rice Is used to any considerable
extent in the diet.
airs. G's inference that rice
polishings have anything to do
with causing arthritis, or any
other ailment for that matter, is
an unfortunate error.
And I assure Mrs. G. she is
not caught in a vicious circle.
No matter how much vitamin B
she may take, It cannot give her
an excessive eppetlte or craving
for food. It may be true that In
beriberi there is loss of appetite
in advanced cases, and treat
ment with vitamin B helps to
restore the appetite. But there
is no good whatever for the no
tion that vitamin B or any other
v.tamln vitamins will cause ab
normal increase in a normal or
ordinary appetite. On the con
trary, as I endeavor to explain
in Rules 'or Reducing, supple
menting the reducing diet with
a suitable daity ration of vita
mins usually has the effect Mrs.
G. mentions hunger satisfied
with less food than one has re
quired while subsisting on the
conventional diet in which rs-

Oregon cheese plants will be

Just to keep the record
straight Last May there was
assembled in the national cap

country and the subject was
nutrition. It was demonstrated
that there are 52,000,000 peo

do not get enough to eat, or
do not eat the Tight food. This
is 40 percent of the population
(Oregon's ratio on this basis,

Less than two weeks follow

urged the American people to
eat less cheese in order that

secretary promptly heard from
Oregon dairymen; the Wiscon

the dairy associations moved Jn
to file objections. Came an
nouncement from the food sur

butter nor cheese would go
with food stamps; that these
commodities are required in
Britain. From England came an
appeal from the minister of
food asking American women
to do without cream one day

Secretary WlckaTd, Ignoring
the 152,000,000 undernourished
Americans, has bought 25,000
000 pounds of Cheddar cheese
in the past few weeks and
1,750,000 cases of evaporated
milk. (Milk last week cost $3.15
per case f o b., an advance of
48 cents a case in 90 days). Only
half of the cheese wanted by
June 30 is obtainable and less
than 66 percent of the milk. To
step up production Secretary
Wickard wants a 24-hour day
in the factories and full time
in the milk plants where the

OPM Investigated and turned
down a proposal to give Henry
J. Kaiser $150,000,000 to estab
lish an all-purpose steel industry
on the Pacific coast and to pro
duce 100,000.000 tons. It wasn l
that the steel ia now needed on

The Gano Dunn report to Presi

OPM said it would ask for in
creased facilities in existing
mills but no new ones. Into the
scene moved Dr. R. R. Sayers of
the bureau of mines, submitting
a statement that the coals of
Washington state were suitable
for coke and that there is suffici
ent deposits to last for many
years. Ten days after this Sayers
report OPM had a shower of re
quests for money to build up
the existing plants in the west in
the amount of $100,000,000 to
produce 1,556,000 tons.
J. P. HEWITT, who has line
properties on the South Santiam
in Oregon, has for several
months been seeking RFC fi
nancing to build an electroiinc
plant at the mine. He has sub
mitted exhaustive reports on the
extent and quality of the zinc

on the priority list), but has the
government been interested in

has not. Last week John A. 1

Browning, one of the na

facturers, shows at least one
thing wrong with the existing
defense setup. Mr. Browning
was with OPM until mid-March
as a deputy director of purch

turning to his business then he
couJd see that the coming vast
increase in expenditures would
cut into production of his con
sumer product, so he came to
Washington seeking a defense
contract to take up the expected
slack. With his contacts, you
would think that obtaining a
contract would be a simple busi
ness. However, he encountered
difficulties and finally sent
home to Chicago for his best
salesman. They canvassed every
army procurement office in the
country and everyone of im
portance below the rank of Har
ry Hopkins in Washington. His
argument was he had a good
plant, skilled workers, and
knew the defense program, was
convinced he could make gas
masks, containers, or something.
After a week he gave up and
went home.
The army was Interested only
in equipping its soldiers, not in

authority to take hold of the
problem and work it out, either
in the interests of Mr. Brown
