LAST LAUGH DEPT.
"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

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.

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

gives suggestions on the use of
plain wheat In the family die

port In northern Africa. Bengazi

Also a somewhat difficult prob

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

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

form of armed resistance to meet
the British if they come. He Is
also marshalling subs in the

sunk the unbelievable total of
40 percent of Italian supplies
destined for Africa in recent
months.

by the British as the standard

like to design one single plane
as a standard to facilitate re

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.

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.
