Tracy Boothby, the Red Blan ket strawberry king, Is the bouncing Grandpaw of a proud grandson. Grandpaw has started to weaken a bit from the slap ping on his back over the event at the hands of Prospect natives. The announcement the "grey green invincible legions" of Hit ler, had made other arrange ments relative to the conquering of Russia this winter, and there upon or shortly before with drew from Rostov, a vital point, was lost in the shuffle and ex citement of America going to war against the Nipponese. It was told In a brief paragraph, and crowded out of the news, by a rush of news, of more In terest, but no more Importance. It was the first time In this war, the Nazi hordes have back ed away from an obji-ctive, soundly beaten. As the tide of the world war, ebbs and flows, one will hear more of it. It Is the beginning of the end for one dictator. HISTORY!

"I remember once being ask ed to a party when I realized that I had no dress suited to the occasion. I considered not going at all. Then I decided to use the actor's art and dress my mind as best I could, to go and put my whole being Into acting the role of guest. I let appreciation of the party, thej hostess, the other guests take. possession of me. The odd part of It is that the compliments I got that evening were on the dress I wore." (Reader's Di gest). During the first four months of 1941, about 30 0O0 more bablra were born In the United StaU-a than in the tint third of IMO. Cens'is Bureau statisticians pn-dlrt a rate of 1S for 1841 only 01 leas than the last reported (1137) rat la Oer-many. The False From every defense unit in the country, comes the appeal to keep calm. The importance of this can't be overemphasized. For in an atmosphere of hysteria, it is difficult if not impossible, to carry on any defense (or offense) pro gram effectively. AS the potential dangers become more and more pressing, the need for cool heads and calm, clear headed leadership, becomes more and more urgent Those citizens who are losing their heads and demanding all sorts of ill-advised action, against the few defenseless individuals of alien blood we have, in the city and valley, are doing this community and their country an especially serious disservice. No good can come from such action, much harm. I OCAL, state and federal law-officers can be de- pended upon to protect the community from any overt acts, while the latter, the F.B.I., have been investigating all aliens in southern Oregon for months, and where the slightest suspicion is justified, the proper protective masures have already been taken. SO by all means keep calm, exercise self-control, and this goes for EVERYBODY. It isn't a matter of manners, or even of law observ ance, though both are involved, it is a matter of BEST SERVING YOUR COUNTRY, of genuine PATRIOTISM, in this extremely critical time. The hot-headed, so-called 120 patriot, who directly or indirectly urges any sort of illegal punitive action, against any law-abiding citizen in this com munity, whether his skin be white, red, yellow or black, represents a very real danger to this commun ity and to any effective defense effort. We are quite sure the force of an aroused and right-thinking public opinion in this community, will be sufficient to keep such "subversive" individuals in check. Give the People the Facts We are quite sure the country stands solidly behind President Roosevelt in his pronouncement, that now and at all times, the administration will give the people the FACTS about the war, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, except where such action might benefit the enemy. That is certainly the democratic way, and is the admirable course Prime Minister Churchill has pur sued so successfully, from the outset. pERTAINLY Winston Churchill has given Hitler no encouragement or useful information, even when things looked darkest, his attitude has been one of complete fearlessness and defiance. But at the same time, Mr. Churchill has NEVER, either repressed or tried to color, the FACTS. Whether good news, or bad news, the British Prime Minister from the "sweat, blood and tears" speech onward, has frankly taken completely into his confidence. WHAT has been the result?

VES, this is the democratic way, and from the standpoint of modern war, we believe, the only wise and effective way. For when all is said and done, in modern war, the final outcome depends upon morale, morale not only at the front, but behind it. As not only this war, but world war No. I demon strated, any break at the front can be repaired, as long as the rank and file, at home, behind the front, have not lost the will to win. A ND nothing undermines this morale at home more " quickly, and leads more certainly to civilian demoralization, behind the lines, than the practice followed in the totalitarian countries, of keeping the rank and file in the dark, buoying them up by false reports, leading them to believe in quick and decisive victories, and then have them suddenly awaken to the fact, they have been deceived, and are not only in a tough spot, but have a government they can not trust. WE grant because of the totalitarian successes the T T break has not come yet But this war, is not only a world war, it is a war to the death. And in the final analysis it is going to be won by the nations that are able to endure the most, the group having the strongest will-to-win, the most unyielding determination to resist, regardless of what sacrifices must be made until the foe has met com plete defeat That group we feel confident, will consist of the nations, that have not only fought for the truth, but have at all times demonstrated the moral strength to face it Stevenson, Wash., Dec. 10. .-n-Skamanla County Sheriff Irene llordi-n this morning ar- rested 20 Japanese-born alien, from a Spokane, Portland and Seattle railroad crew and was MEDFORD MAIL Patriot the people of his country holding them for the FBI.

William Brady, ISS El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. THE AUTOINTOXI Physic, enema and mineral oil addicts imagine that all residues of today's food must be evacuat ed from the bowl next day or else. Or else, they Ima gine, they will suffer from "a u tointoxica tion", or, as it has also been called, "Intesti nal toxemia". For this obses sion tney are indebted not alone to the nostrum propaganda, but to some" eminent specialists" of yesteryear. "It Is entirely possible for a person to suffer from intestinal toxemia without constipation" wrote J. H. Kellogg, M.D., LL.D. in a book published in 1915, "but it is impossible to have constipation without intestinal autointoxication. The fact that symptoms of toxemia do not oc cur in every case is no evidence that they are not present." Like the little man they call Yahudi, the symptoms are pres ent even though they do not occur. What makes it more baf fling or inscrutable to any one but the adept is this further elucidation from the same book: "The South American Indian poisons the points of his deadly arrows by dipping them into putrid flesh. Butchers as well as undertakers sometimes die as the result of a small cut made with a knife soiled by contact with a dead body. The same poisons are produced when putrefaction takes place in the intestine." Perhaps the physlolog 1 1 1 s should revise their textbooks to conform with this astonishing vagary of Dr. Kellogg's. How ell's Textbook of Physiology says: "Under normal conditions, on a mixed diet, it appears that in the small Intestine car bohydrate fermentation is the characteristic action of the bac teria, while In the large intes tine protein putrefaction un doubtedly occurs ... In the large intestine protein putre faction is a constant and nor mal occurrence." South American arrow poison is not "putrid flesh" but an ex tract of the bark of certain vari eties of vines and trees of the Strychnos species. A solution or extract of this substance known as curare is sometimes used In physiological experiments, to Kelly's Comment From Washington Compromise On CPA Offered Tennessee Scrap May Help West Hop Grower in Plea For Wire By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, Dec. 10. Saul Haas, collector of customs for Washington state, former newspaper man of Portland and owner of a high-powered radio station on Puget sound, has been In the national capital with a proposition; compromise for the Columbia power authority. In person Collector Haas has laid his idea on the table in the interior department w h e r e "Honest" Harold Ickes works, always In his shirtsleeves. From Ickes the collector of customs has gone to Nebraska's Norris to gain his approval, and had more success with Senator Nor rls than he did with Secretary Ickes. High spot appears to be that Collector Haas suggests that the status quo of control over the administrator be continued until 1945. This would permit Sec-! rotary Ickes to rock along until after the inauguration of the i president elected in 1944. The simgestlon took root with Sen ator N'orrls. However, as the be lief prevails In the national cap ital that Franklin Delano Roose velt intends running for a fourth term in 1944, the plan of Col-i lector Haas is not making pro-1 Kress unless the effective date! is placed at 1949. e e e I SENATOR McKeltar. bach elor, from Tennessee, whose ap-. petite for patronage Is insati able, may Indirectly throw an other aluminum reduction plant to the northwest.

D trSS El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. the senator denounces the pro ject and writes to Senator Car ter Glass that only "two smart alecks and big ikes like Krug and Lllienthal" would try to put over such a dam. McKellar says the dam would destroy 30,000 acres, on which 2,000 peoples raise vegetables, which are pro cessed in five canneries and are sold for $1,000,000 a year. It would destroy the county seat of Jefferson county and flood an ancient graveyard. Director Lllienthal and En glneer Krug want the dam to bring in additional kilowatts "for national defense," of course, and the Reynolds Metals company was to be furnished power for an aluminum plant. It looks as though McKellar will prevent construction of the dam (he Is real mad about it and his letter to Senator Glass is intemperate), in which event the Reynolds Metals company will be located elsewhere. The company Is now making alum inum ingots at Longvlew, Wn.

The soldiers must have their beer and bread and beans, and on this argument a priority may be obtained. However, the wire investigation, which started quietly and at the instigation of REA, has backfired and that organization is accused of hid ing 23 carloads of copper wire in Texas cotton fields while REA has been shouting that it could not obtain wire but that private utilities were "hogging" it and trying to ruin the rural electrification program. The trainload of copper wire was delivered and sequestered within the past two weeks, af ter the REA office complained that it could not get wire for the bare poles of cooperatives in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. It further develops that the hidden wire is not needed in Texas as the area where it Is deposited now has farm co operatives which receive low cost power, and the charge is made that REA plans the dup licating of transmission lines in a couple of years. Not a yard of the wire was made available in the Pacific northwest by REA out of the 23 carloads. e e LETTERS are being sent to prominent citizens in the north west inviting them to bee me members of the president's birthday party, which stages dances and entertainments and turns profits over to the organ ization to combat Infantile par alysis, with most of the money going to Warm Springs Founda tion.
