"A young friend of ours had a startling experience the other morning. He had spent a very proper evening out with an at tractive young lady of this city, but It was one of those parties that last Into tha wee hours. Coming home, they stepped onto the front porch. The door opened and out walked the girl's father with a shotgun! Our acquaintance had a jit tery moment or two before It dawned on him that dsd was starting out on a duck hunting trip. Dad's daughter enjoyed the incident Immensely. (Klamath Falls Evening Herald.) In Tibet men dwell at alti tudes of 18,000 feet. Setting an Example MOST traffic accidents CAN be prevented. How effectively it is done, however, depends directly upon the degree to which accident preven tion effort is put forth. This fact is clearly apparent from the recent safety record of Pierce Auto Freight Lines, a local organiza tion which recently won FIRST PLACE in a nation wide safety contest sponsored by the National Safety Council and the American Trucking association. Offi cials of this company, and the general public as well, are justifiably proud of this recognition. The award came as a result of consistently safe operation on Oregon and California highways ex tending over the past 12 months, coverine more than a million miles of travel. Certainly, here is an ex ample for all who operate private automobiles! . THIS recognition did not come by chance. The Pierce Auto Freight Lines were not just "lucky" during the past year. It came as a result of careful long-range planning. Modern safety devices were used, modern techniques in safe, efficient operation were employed. Most important of all was the factor of trained drivers. Traffic laws, potential penalties, safety education, improved highways all play important roles in re ducing accidents. But, after all, it i3 the MAN who almost always is the cause of accidents. It may be through recklessness, it may be through ignorance of basic traffic regulations, or it may be through care lessness in inspecting cars or trucks so that mechan ical defects develop at critical moments. "OFFICIALS of Pierce Auto Freight Lines recog nized this fact. That is why, long ago, this com pany exercised the greatest care in hiring drivers. Rigid physical examinations were required, the do mestic and financial status of each applicant was examined, thorough training in handling heavy equipment was necessary, full knowledge, of traffic regulations was stressed. Here is a lesson for automobile drivers. ALL who assume the responsibility of driving on streets and highways should be mentally alert and physically tit at all times. And so, to this organization that made a JOB of safe driving we offer the commendation of this com munity upon this well-deserved nation-wide recogni tion. X7HILE orchids are being passed out, we wish to " call attention to two other operators of truck fleets for similar recognition in the increasingly im portant field of traffic safety. Consolidated Freightways, Inc., with offices here, was winner of the national trailmobile trophy for outstanding service to motorists on the highways. Our own California Oregon Power company was also a winner of second prize in one division of the nation al safety competition. There they are three fine examples for all of us who drive automobiles to follow! H.G. Editorial Comment Do You Remember, Toot Apple cld.r Is on Up In some of the rural areas, and elolates th 1st.

TWO EGGS FOR Notwithstanding all the know ledge of nutrition offered the public by doctors and near doctors in re cent years, the typical Ameri can breakfast Is stlU calcu lated to keep the Wiseacres pap-happy. The menu includes not only a cooked or ready cooked cereal, which Is mainly re fined carbohy drate (starch or sugar, but also toast, roll, hot cakes, waffles, flapjacks, bread, biscuit, syrup, etc., all of which Is mainly re fined carbohydrate. Carbohydrate Is excellent food. It yields immediate energy for muscular work or play. It is as easily digestible as any other kind of food material. In a well balanced diet it may and should supply about three-fourths of the total calories. It makes little difference whether the carbohy drate in the diet is in the form of potato, bread, cornstarch, sugai, honey, rice, other cereals, sugars, cakes, pastries, or what not. There Is no physiological foundation for the suggestion, too often given the layman, that this or that form of sugar Is superior in any way to cane sugar or beet sugar in human nutrition. The obvious fault with the American breakfast Is that it supplies too much carbohydrate and not enough of most or all of the other essential nutritive elements protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and fibre, filler or roughage, for optimal nutrition and health. The shortage In protein and fat may be corrected by includ ing two eggs in the menu. Two eggs cooked as you prefer eggs cooked as you prefer are most digestible. Eat 'em raw If you like, although a portion of raw egg albumen passes through the alimentary tract unabsorbed, and so cooked egg Is more com pletely digested than raw egg. The shortage In vitamins Is partly corrected by including two eggs In the breakfast (vita min A, vitamin B complex, vita min D) and further corrected by eating plain wheat instead or refined flour or other refined cereals. On request, If you In close a stamped envel pe bear ing your address, I II send you a pamphlet "Wheat to Eat" which gives suggestions on the use of plain wheat In the family die tary.

Every Italian port could be sub jected to shelling by the British fleet and bombing from the air to prepare the way up the boot for a landing force. None too secretly, the British have been preparing tor a year a special invasion landing unit of 30,000 men. Some suspicion exists that these may even now be on their way to Tripoli to cut off from the rear the axis Libyan army. If not, the unit could well be sent into more or less friendly Sicily, if the cur rent British campaign Is crown ed with success. Hopes here, therefore, are even much higher than the cur rent headlines. e e e THE driving British force Is composed of 4 or 5 columns made up of 8 or 7 divisions, each operating under a clever strategic plan. The heaviest units are at the southern end of the 130-mlle Una which was de signed to fall like a top-heavy hammer with Its head upon the Gulf of Sidra. confining the axis armies within Its limits. This Is a sensational and risky venture but It had every chance of suc cess In view of superior man power and equipment. Within this big hammer, the other British columns are oper ating as at least two small ham mers upon each defended strong hold along tha Cyrenaician coast.

It ii true the only imme diately Important military ob jectives are east of the Sidran : gulf. Derna Is the main Italian port In northern Africa. Bengazi is the main axis fortification. Also a somewhat difficult prob lem of supply from Egypt might develop If the troops continue on west of these points. But a smash through to Tripoli would give the British indisputable control of the Mediterranean, relieve besieged Malta and relax pressure on Gibraltar. Supplies might be sent direct from Eng land to Tripoli without going around Africa, In that case. At least Hitler suspects the drive will not stop. His pressure for the removal of Weygand showed that publicly. More quietly, he has been trying to dispatch one of his toughest gen erals to Bizerte to organize some form of armed resistance to meet the British if they come. He Is also marshalling subs in the Mediterranean. One official re port indicates the British have sunk the unbelievable total of 40 percent of Italian supplies destined for Africa in recent months. OEOPLE here did not like those first British reports that much of our equipment sent to Egypt was being held in reserve. Our P-40 was adopted by the British as the standard plane for the Libyan campaign (The Spitfire is still the standaid In England; the British generals like to design one single plane as a standard to facilitate re pairs.) Our 13-ton light tank (American ' car and Foundry1 likewise has been adopted as a standard for the desert. Ninety five percent of our lend-lease equipment has been going to Egypt for five months preparing for this drive, as you read In this spot some weeks ago. Now we will find out how good it Is In combat. Kelly's Comment From Washington Cantonment Funds Believed Coming Air Base Hope Alao Rise Anew Ottawa Pact May Be Repealed Br Joha W. Kelly Washington, D. C, Nov. 24. There is a belief that the $437, 820,000 requested of congress in the latest seven billion dollar bill asked by President Roose velt is the long-expected appro priation which ii to provide ad ditional cantonments. For months the war department has said It had in mind no new canton ments; did not know what the future of the army would be until congress made an authori zation for more men and voted money for an enlarged army. Meanwhile, however, they hired architects to map out and pre pare plans for cantonments one at Corvallis, another at Med ford and these plans are prac tically completed; field work fin ished, and most of the drawings. There has for weeks been cur rent a rumor that the adminis tration wishes to build up an army of from eight to ten mil lion. Equipment for an army of that size is being accumulated by the quartermaster depart ment. Statements to this effect have been made on the floor of the senate and no one has chal lenged them. War department has been as silent as an Easter island lava image, but the pur chasing of supplies has gone ahead. e e e IF the $437,820,000 Is all for cantonments, as itemized, it will provide for about 25 such as con templated in the two Oregon communities. Both Oregon towns are high up on the army list and should be given the green light when the building program starts. There Is no question about the president receiving the seven billion dollars; congress votes any sum for any purpose the president indicates, providing it has the "defense" label. It is supposed that congress will act with its usual alacrity as In the case of the thirteen billion dol lars for lease-lend, and the funds may be available before the Christmas holidays; possibly at an earlier date, for the seven billions is supposed to be for national defense and not to be given to Britain, China, Russia, and therefore no opposition is ex pected. At all events, the prospects for army posts at Medford and Cor vallis are brighter than they have been; one thing that has been holding them back was lack of funds, and this should be In the earmarked $437,820,000. e e e THE term "post construction" also applies to the army air corps and from this sum may come money for several new air bases In the northwest (with Klamath Falls, Medford and Salem on the tentative list; The Dalles, im portant because at head of the Columbia river gorge; Pocatello, Great Falls. Mont., all at one time or another on the strategic map of the war department). It Is the program of the war department to establish 54 groups of fliers (twice the pres ent skeleton strength) but air groups will not require as expen sive accommodations as a canton ment because there are a smaller number of fliers and ground crew. (Difference of about $1 500,000 for a flying station and $13,000,000 for a cantonment). This program, it is hinted, will be delayed until late next year because of the bombers and In terceptors sent to Russia, the British and the Chinese, which slows down the equipping of the American air force. u,,1,? 18 mon,hs- with this seven billion, congress has voted or authorized 86 billion dollars Money is now being expended at the rate of 1.5 billion dollars a month and one year from now will be at the rate of three bll lion each month. Taxes on 1941 incomes are payable In four months, next March 13. see THE Ottawa agreement, sign ed in 1932. by which empire preference Is given Its "colonies" by the British government, may be repealed or modified.

It is all a part of tha plan to make all nations happy when the last gun has been fired and the job of facing world-wide depres sion will be tha first order of business. i . ,,,4"-, i In The - - ei 'I Si y , ") V" - By FRANK JENKINS THERE are three interesting straws in the news winds of today (Saturday): 1. The British are seriously threatening to smash the Ger mans in Africa. ( It is obvious that the Italians there are a negligible quantity.) 2. Petain is going to Paris to meet a "high German person age" presumably Hitler. 3. Hitler is driving HARDER THAN EVER at Moscow. e TO these we can add a fourth straw, which makes Its ap pearance for tha ' first time today: The White House announces Germany Is planning a Euro pean conference of some sort to be held in December or Jan uary "on some occasion consid ered propitious by Germany" and promising some "high-sounding formula of economic reha bilitation and restoration of in dependence for all EUROPEAN nations." see LET'S do some guessing here: Hitler CAN'T SPARE enough of his own troops to stop the British in Africa as he did a year ago. (That would be IMPORTANT, If true, for It would be the first time he has lacked the resources to strike any place and any time it seemed necessary.) So - he's cooking up a deal with the beaten French to do his fighting In Africa while he throws everything he has Into an attempt to smash Russia NOW. e e e yHrs conclusion Is mora or less inevitable: Hitler hasn't got tha world by the tail, as he has had so far since the war began, e e e TODAY'S reports of the pro- are extremely hazy, but one Is inclined to guess that if such a conference Is being planned it Is sign of fear on Hitler's part rather than a sign of con fidence in his own strength. Europe's conquered nations haven t been submissively lick' lng his conqueror's hand and cringingly offering their help in the furtherance of his schemes. There have been widespread reports of sabotage, assassina tion and guerrilla warfare. So far Hitler has tried repres sion with the stern hand shootings against walls, whole sale massacres by troops, etc. Now (if these conference" re ports are to be believed) he's talking of "economic rehabilita tion" and "restoration of inde pendence" for all European nations. ONE Is reminded inevitably of effect that the devil when well Is anything but a saint but when SICK a "saint would be." e e e "DELIABLE quarters" In Eu x rope tell the Associated tress today that, Germany is prepared to transform the armis tice with France into a perma nent peace settlement in return for sweeping concessions in northern Africa. Presumably these sweeping concessions would Include Medi terranean bases, a route across France and through Spain Into Africa, use of the French fleet against the British and possibly also use of the French army in northern Africa. It isn't hard to guess that In return for such concessions JJav' conclusions yet) It Is at least interesting.
