In many accounts, the reader could almost see the pained expression on the sport writer1! face, that such a thing should happen. Such antipathy Is illogical ai the sophomore score counts as much as if made by a bow-legged senior, who has no business on the team In the first place. Some action should be taken to keep the soph thus disgracing himself, from being listed with the vilest sinners. It begins to look like this state had been granted a re prieve, and la no longer in Jeopardy of a special extraor dinary session ot the alleged legislature. The nation starts off this week with crisis for every finger, and an emergency for every toe. Winter officially arrived Sun day.

Everybody waiting for water and nobody retting what they are waiting for. This is a terrible state of affairs; not an Item to be had. and nothing to manufacture one out of. We have two doctors here, but they are of no account or they would furnish the paper with more than one death In two months, and a birth at least once a week. Then there's the minister guess we won't say anything about him. but we know the ladies like to see mar riages, and whose fault Is it that tpey are disappointed? We'd like to be Informed."

Kettle on the Curb THERE is something heart-warming about the Salvation Army kettles, which make their appear ance on the streets at this time of year. No other one thing seems more reminiscent of the old-fashioned Christmas. The world has changed a great deal since these friendly little kettles first appeared on Los Angeles streets nearly a half-century ago. And in the swirling confusion of this present-day stream-lined existence, there are some who entirely miss the true significance of Christmas observance. To them the simple Yule tide joys are entirely lost in the fuss and flurry of hectic holiday shopping, parties and entertaining. DUT somehow, the "Army's" kettles seem to turn our thoughts once more to the true spirit ot Christ masthe Christmas with the great yule log, Tiny Tim' and "Silent Night". Probably it is because one of our earliest Christmas-season recollections is of a Salvation Army kettle under the flickering glow of a gas lamp on the street corner of a great eastern city. On a nearby corner was a hymn-singing group with drum and tambou rines, seeking out wickedness and sin.. But isn't that typical of the Salvation Army a combination of religious zeal and an unswerving determination to relieve suffering, sorrow and dis tress? Yes, it is a combination that accomplishes wonders, too 1 THE Christmas kettles seem to typify the generous, helpful spirit of this truly Christian organization. Sixty years of service to humanity and the "Army" has never lost the true spirit of the Samaritan. It has been essentially an idealistic program rigidly follow ed by this organization ; yet it has been carried forth in a thoroughly practical, business-like, common sense manner. THE yearly Christmas kettle campaign is no excep- tion. The pennies, nickles and dimes dropped into these street corner kettles will go a long, long way toward bringing .Christmas cheer to the needy and deserving. And you may depend upon the "Army" to see that every penny is spent RIGHT. The heartening note of the tinkling bell, the street corner kettle why they are as much a part of Christ mas as tinsel balls, the traditional feast and old Mr. Claus himself I In the true spirit of Christmas, let us fill to over flowing Medford's Salvation Army kettles! H.G. Puff for Gift Pears THOSE who wish to know just how the large and luscious Rogue River valley pears found their way into Christmas gift boxes and thus brought a sizable industry to this area will be interested in Frank J. Taylor's article appearing in the current issue of Country Gentleman. "Oregon's Mail-Order Farmers" is the title of this article. From it, people here are certain to derive both pride and information. THE author presents, with typically modern tech- nique, the story of the fast-growing fruit gift box industry from the standpoint of the Bear Creek Orchards. While the story of" Harry and David" de mands the major portion of the article and right fully so, for THEY were the pioneers in this field of endeavor there is much valuable advertising for our own Rogue River valley. It might also be mentioned that advertising, used extensively and wisely, has been an important factor in spreading the pleasant and profitable habit of giving fruit boxes throughout the nation. VES, the Rogue River valley's "glamour pears", in artistic wrappings, have built a winter-season in dustry for this area which has clone much to level out seasonal payrolls. As this industry expands the economy of this valley correspondingly improves. "YTHER Medford packers, who are now featuring V gift-packed pears, are mentioned in this Country Gentleman article. The author points out that "i no less alert, rival shippers offered surprise boxes, too. One included a brace of wild pheasants grown on a game-bird farm near Medford." Yes, unique packs of fruits and tasty tidbits, yule tide clusters of Oregon greenery, have helped to put the local fruit industry on its feet and Medford on the map. H.G. High School News by STUDENT REPORTERS By Thalma Kaplon At the regular A S H. assem bly Wednesday a varied mu'lcul program was presented by Miss llclene Leach, music director. Comic highlight of the affnir was a short three-act humorous Interpretation of grand opera by the boys' quartet.

MILK FOR How should one go about choosing the right milk for chil dren 8, 10 and 12 years of age, in a city where several differ ent grades of milk are sup plied? (asks a reader) We use large quan tities of raw milk from an acc r e d 1 1 e d herd regularly tested for tu berculosis and Bang's disease, but recently we have Ben Told (Ben gets around as always!) we take many chances of contracting undulant fever, septic sore throat and other diseases by us ing raw milk and that we should use only pasteurized milk, espe cially for the children. (R.C.D.) R. C. D. adds that the children dislike the taste of pasteurized milk but are fond of the raw milk, but that he wants to do wht is best for the health and safety of his family. For many years I have en Joytd the next best treat to raw milk fresh from the crow, milk before it hat had time to cool, Grade A Raw milk from tuber culin tested and Bang - tested herd. It is a premium milk, cost ing, I believe, the same amount as Certified milk costs. I never cared so much about pasteur ized milk, although I doubt I could distinguish by taste alone a sample of pasteurized milk (milk that has been par-boiled, heated to 145 degrees F. for thirty minutes to kill any di sease germs it may contain) from a sample of ordinary raw milk or Grade A raw or Certi fied milk. Probably R. C. D.'s children can tell the difference by taste alone certainly a good many people can Vet somehow I have enjoyed drinking Grade A Raw from tuberculin-tested and Bang-tested cows via milk- truck and refrigerator almost as much as, In the halcyon days, I enjoyed driving sixteen miles to see the faithful old collie bring the cows from the woods across the stream down In the valley, up the green hills to the barns where I stood at the bedside at the cowside ready to dip Into the pail as soon as the first quart or two permitted oh, boy, I'd drive a thousand miles and walk 60 for the chance to recapture that thrill now. If I were R. C. D. I'd keep on giving the children large quan tities of the raw milk from tuberculin-tested and Bang-tested cows. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page Ona) I streets and he may have to fight ;for them, street by street. e THE reds started buying mi , chlnery and building ma terials here two years ago to construct secondary munition plants, hydro-electric dams and other Industries at every point along the trans-Siberian rail road. A hydro-dam has just been completed in the Irtysh river there to furnish 240.000 kilowatts. Other similar proj ects are near completion. But even tha successful trans migration of a nation will cause delays and sharp diminution of production. Hence, these facta do not mean Russia has been saved only that the Nazis will find little or nothing in the con quered territory. The fall of Moscow would give the Germans control of what was formerly 75 per cent of Russian industry. It would be physically Impossible to move that much of a nation's production without dangerous hiatus. Consequently, long range hope for Russian success beyond next Mny is shared by only a portion of officials here. This govern ment's unspoken opinion is that unless the U. S. gets large quan tities of materials in through Vladivostok before spring, the Russians cannot hold out. a C ABOTAGE la suspected In the increaing number of pas senger railroad wrecks, yet in terstate commerce commission authorities are not attributing them to foreign agents.

Yet. o Brady. M. D. CHILDREN Formerly I recommended Cer tified milk tor people who can afford it, especially for infants, invalids and young children. Certified milk Is the or was the purest raw milk available. But in recent years some pro ducers of Certified milk have evidently lost faith in it them selves, for a considerable num ber of them now acknowledge that the milk requires parteriza tion. If milk must be par-boiled or pasteurized to make it safe for infants, children. Invalids or anybody, then I'd as soon have the cheapest kind of milk the markst affords, and personally I'd prefer to buy the milk as fresh as possible and cald it myself that is, bring it to a boil for just one minute which, in my opinion, makes any ordi nary market milk perfectly safe for Infant, child. Invalid or adult, whether the milk is non descript from a neighboring farm or dairy, from the village store or market, or whether it bears a Grade A or Grade B lebel or no label at all.

Kelly's Comment From Washington More Competition From Argentina, Army Equipment Hint Expansion Expansion Sure Or Costly Error Br Joha W. Kelly Washington, D. C, Dee. 1. Agriculture of the Pacific north west ia to receive new competi tion from Argentina. Negotia tions are in progress by which Uncle Sam will purchase surplus commodities in that country the same as the surplus commodities administration is doing in the United States. It is to be an ex tension of the surplus commodi ties program for the purpose of preventing Argentine surpluses being available to Herr Hitler and hit associates in the axis.. Listed as among the items to be bought are casein, wool and hides, all of which are produced in the northwest. In addition there will be purchased quanti ties of strategic materials to be added to the stockpiles now being built up by Metals Reserve corporation. The proposal being discussed would have the United States purchase every ton of tungsten produced in Argentina until 1944. Before the United States will take over the sur plus commodities it is insisted that Argentina shall not dispose of any to Germany, Italy or Japan. On this point the negotia tions are said to revolve. State department conducts its negotiations so secretly that it never makes an announcement until a transaction is completed, but Argentina is less close mouthed. Without definite in formation, it is rumored that the casein, wool and other articles will be brought to the United States for processing and not dis posed of In England in the raw state. All of these Items are pro duced in this country. It the policy of Jesse H. Jones is pur sued whatever purchases are made will be imported without paying duty. e e e WAR department reiterates that it has no plans for increas ing the army nor for an expedi tionary force, yet there are signs to the contrary. The present army consists of 1,500,000 offi cers and men. Officers buy their own uniforms and equipment; the men are furnished their clothing. Bearing this in mind, it is interesting to do a little checking, and these are some of the results: - For every man the quarter master department has already bought 10 pairs of shoes (foot covering for an army ot 10,000, 000); 49 suits of underwear; 14 pairs of cotton khaki shirts: 26 pairs of flannel shirts; 50 pairs of sox; 8 pairs of gloves; four barrack bags; 9 pairs of cotton trousers; 3 pairs of herringbone twill trousers; 4.5 pairs wool serge trousers; 4.5 canvas leg gings; 3 herringbone jackets; 3 field jackets. Each man of the present army of 1,500,000, in addition to the foregoing, has 39 yards of wool serge; 28 yards of flannel shirt ing; 4.5 yards wool overcoating; eight yards wool lining cloth; 40 yards cotton khaki twill; 34 yards herringbone twill cotton; 40 yards cotton uniform cloth; 20 yards cotton lining cloth; 32 yards cotton khaki cloth; two yards cotton Jean: 21 yards cot ton drill; 1.5 yards of melton; 1.5 yards of elastique cloth. Every other man in the army of 1.300.000 has a complete white uniform for baking or butcher ing. This may mean that 1,000, 000 men will cook for 500,000. There are nine neckties per man. A clinic thermometer has been provided for every man in the army, and bathrobes and pa jamas costing $3,042,534, these latter to be used In hospitals. There are 78 feet of mosquito netting per soldier and 14 yards of canvas tent cloth. Bought al ready are 10 blankets per man and beds and mattresses for ten million. There are 2.5 macki naws a man; nine hats and caps. Such are some of the pur chases figured out on a per wan basis. There are winter combat trousers, winter combat jackets; sleeping bags, parkas costing from 57 to $24.25 each and 519 costing $114.82 each; waterproof bedding rolls. Anticipating ex panding the "mountain brigade" 8992 pairs of ski boots have been purchased, plus a pair of arctics for every present enlisted man; flying shoes, felt boots and over shoes. Viewing all this equipment (and more is constantly being ordered) either the war deoart- i ment intends expanding the j army to from 8.000.000 to 10 -j 000.000 or else, when the emer gency is over, there will be army goods stores in every town In the United States selling the ac cumulation. e a e BRINGING these purchases Into a nearer view, it means five pairs of shoes for every man, wo- man ana child in Washington i and Oregon: a raincoat for every one; four pairs of gloves: 22 suit iof underwear; 13 flannel ahirU; Buu Christmas Seals 25 pair of cotton and wool sox; seven cotton shirts; 29 yards of mosquito netting; halt the popu lation of the two states with a clinic thermometer, and all with a bathrobe and pajamas; every one with a work shirt, etc. If the army is not expanded, someone has made a costly error in buying equipment. The sen ate committee on defense ex penditures is striving to learn the answer. By FRANK JENKINS TODAY'S (Saturday's) news Is full of hints and highlights, Its and maybes, of bluffs and counter-bluffs. It is barren of decisive devel opments. 1 OVERSHADOWING everything for the moment ia the situa tion in the Pacific. The Jap press and radio are attacking the U. S. bitterly. Here are scattered samples: "America has no sincerity." "America has broken the peace." "The United States ALONE Is responsible for what seems al most Inevitable now." SAVAGE chieftains, working their warriors up to the fight ing pitch, set the tom-toms to throbbing. Modern dictators turn loose their heel-dog press and radio. The purposes are the same. Only the methods differ. IN Tokyo, Tojo's cabinet. In what the correspondents de scribe as "an atmosphere reflect ing alternate gloom and bristling hostility," meets anew to delib erate on Japan's final stand on the negotiations with Washing ton. . JAPAN, according to "respon aihle Fnr Fatim anfhnHti" quoted by the Associated Press today, has two choices: 1. Accept U. S. terms. Quit the axis. Get out of China. 2. FIGHT. THESE Far" Eastern authorities ' think it isn't in Japan's char acter (ruled as she is by a mili tary dictatorship that must fight or lose out) to knuckle under to the U. S. and quit. So they think she'll fight. Their prediction is that the Tojo government, which sent Ku rusu to make a last-minute peace try, will FALL and will be suc ceeded by a government FULLY COMMITTED TO WAR. FDR leaves Washington for Warm Springs, giving rise to two opposing schools of conjec ture: 1. That he wouldn't have left If any hope remained of further negotiations with Japan. 2. That he wouldn't have left if the Jap crisis was really ex pected to get worse. Take your choice. IN London, an "authoritative source" says: "U. S. aid in the battle of the Atlantic has enabled Britain to delegate to the Pacific the sort of ships (that Is. battleships) needed to meet a "really great naval power." Japan is one of the great naval powers, with a navy built around BATTLESHIPS, which are fight ing ships. London "authoritative source" (whoever he is) is saying to Japan: "If you fight, you'll have to fight a combined U. S.-British fleet with more battleships than you have." CROM Manila comes a dispatch asserting that nazi agents in the Far East are making a deter mined attempt to bring about a negotiated peace between Japan and-China. The nazi Idea, of course. Is to get Japan out of the mud In China so she will be free to fight the United States and Britain. VOU may think you have seen poker games in your time.
