That was back In the days when the airplane was hailed aa 'an agency tor the brotherhood or. man ana force for peace through elimi nation of time and apace'. The rumor there were bo more rumors hereabouts turned out to be another rumor. The whereabouts and origin of the earthquake that quivered Portland the first of the week are unknown. It might be just a young one, gaining strength for a visit to Japan and en route there. Herr Hitler in hli New Year remarks likened himself to a dove of peace. Der Fuehrer bears more resemblance to the favorite food of squirrel. FAH FROM FLORIDA (Pendleton East Oregonian) "After a long and pleasant autumn and early winter everyone for some unknown reason decided Heppner was entering Into a semi-tropical climate but that has all been knocked out of them. In the outlying district the thermom eer is down very near the zero mark." Saving of hubber everywhere but In the human neck la the order of the day. . There has been a spell of bracing weather, most of the bracing being against the handi est heating apparatus. ... Experts who predicted the defeat of OSC. by Duke took a worse beating than the losers and are busy crawling back Into their holes and pulling In their horns. The result should be a warning to Jittery souls who place explicit faith In the bleatings of war experts, always fearing the worse and telling what fearful things will now happen that A. Hitler is mad. They should be prohibited from making peace predictions. The more conservative now guess the war will be over In five years. In the light of their cur rent bum forecasting, they have only missed approximately four and one-half years. ... CANTONMENT DOPE (Eugene Register-Guard) "Of course, there are still a few cynics who think the can tonment should be called "Camp Coke," and there are others, with a political flair who Insist It should be known simply as the First District Cantonment, but from a long experience we are Inclined to suspect that neither McNsry nor Mott had any more to do with the matter than the customary sequence of telegrams subscribed "kindest regards" (which translated free ly from the Choctaw means always "youra for the votes.") There Is positively nothing to the rumor that cantonments are selected In the dark of the moon. No, It's a very natural process. The construction men and the tactical experts never agree, so they Just race around the country arguing and at the spot where both fall exhausted and out of breath the general steps In and says: "Lafayette here we are!" Raw silk Is the only import ant textile material In which Japan Is aelX -sufficient. All Hail to O.S.C. All hail to those "farm boys" from Corvallia! We knew they would give a good account of them selves and make monkeys out of the eastern experts, but frankly DIDN'T believe they could so completely upset the dope bucket as to win the Rose Bowl cham pionship. . And no football victory was ever more genuinely earned. It not only took strong legs and arms, it took clear heads and the true fighting heart. Yes sir! Hand it to every lad on the squad, and to Lon Stiner, a great, and heretofore never fully appreciated, coach. MOT only a great athletic victory, but a great moral ' victory. For it takes something besides brawn to do what the O.S.C. outfit did yesterday, march on an alien field, after a trip of over 3,000 miles, not only underdogs but three-legged ones (the prevailing odds were 3 to 1 against them) with the huge crowd packed with supporters of the opposition; and then repeatedly checked, as they struggled to forge ahead, finally by a supreme burst of superior offensive and defensive power, put the game, and the national football championship for 1941, on ice. Yes, say what you will, such an achievement re quires not only physical prowess but those qualities of will power and stamina which make up CHARAC TER, and all praise to the boys from O.S.C. who certainly had it. MEVER again will the eastern expertsnraise a lan- guid eyebrow, when a "twice-defeated aggrega tion," from Oregon, that "terra incognito" lying somewhere between Puget Sound and the Golden Gate, dares to invade the highly-polished environs of the Atlantic seaboard and challenges next to the highest scoring football machine in the U. S. They will grant hereafter that a team that can lead on the Pacific coast, has AT LEAST a Chinaman's chance. Yes, one of the most gratifying things about this triumph, was its unexpectedness and the devastating smash in the solar plexus it gave the effete and self satisfied football aristocracy of the "far east." They didn't even know whether Oregon was north or south of famous "sun-kissed state", but now they know where it is, and from this time on they will never forget. FINALLY, not one . All-American, or any other recognized star on the squad, but just eleven rough-handed Corvallis lads in there pitching all the time, and pitching until the final gun just a little iarder and a little tougher than their opponents. Yes a great victory, "the greatest athletic triumph" in the history of the state. The boys from O.S.C. on their return should be given a welcome from the people of the entire state they will never forget I An Outrage! Like a bolt from the blue, comes the announcement that the slight remnant of a decent passenger train service we now have here in southern Oregon will be discontinued January 12th ! If there is neither government nor military neces sity to justify this drastic action, the people of this community simply should NOT submit to itl With such severe restrictions on tires, and prob ably soon on new cars, as to render normal travel by private motor cars, more and more difficult, the need of travel by train becomes and is today more a matter of PUBLIC NECESSITY. than has been the case, in decades. .....

Under the circumstances this alibi has no real validity whatever.

William Brad;, m D Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. IF GLUCOSE IS DEXTROSE Being Just Ol' Doe Brady plodding door-to-door practition er, I wouldn t know, but I have It from Prof. Henry C, Sherman (Chemistry of Food and Nu trition) that glucose Is dex trose and it is otherwise call ed grape sugar corn sugar starch sugar. U any one gets mad about this I refer him to p. 13 of the fifth edition C37) of Sherman's textbook. Please don't take It out of my hlde Sherman said It, remem ber. Harking back to the third edi tion (1917) of Dr. Harvey Wiley's "Foods and Their Adul teration" It is astonishing to note how little the redoubtable crusader for pure foods had to say about glucose he said it forms an Ideal base for a table sirup, has only a very slightly sweet taste but nowhere in the book does Dr. Wiley mention dextrose. It is a physiological fact that all starches and sugars of what ever type or source are convert ed by digestion into glucose (or call it dextrose if you prefer) and absorbed (from the Intes tine, not from the stomach) into the blood, and then synthesized into glycogen (animal starch) and as glycogen it is stored in the liver and the muscles and enough of it for constant use is retained in the blood. It Is con stantly used as fuel to supply energy, not only the muscular energy expended by the use of voluntary muscles In play, exer cise or work, but the energy ex pended by the involuntary mus cles heart, alimentary tract, blood vessel coat, diaphragm, in carrying on the vital functions (breathing and circulation). Incidentally I find but one mention of glucose in a 1939 textbook on Nutrition and Diet (McLester) and that is In the index, where the reader Is re ferred to dextrose elsewhere in the index. The style has Chang ed. Perhaps the term glucose fell into undeserved disrepute be cause in the Wiley era and be fore some unscrupulous food manipulators used it to adulter ate honey and other foods. But there Is no reason for such bias against glucose today. Glucose, in my opinion, is as good and as In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS PRIVATE dispatches received In New York today (Wednes day) Indicate that the fall of Manila is imminent. ... ARMY headquarters In the Philippines report that Mac Arthur's forces, DESPERATE LY OUTNUMBERED, are fall ing back under the assault of Japanese infantry, tanks and dive bombers. The Japs apparently have com plete control of the air over Luzon. The U. S. army Is attempt ing to evacuate 300 seriously wounded Americans by sea from Luzon Island. Success or failure of the attempt Is not apparent as these words are written. ... KEEP this in mind (to steady vnur nrvptV American war plans have never called for permanent de fense of the Philippines. Now; projected suddenly into a world war, it is too late to change. ... IN London today a British 'ill hirltv" saw- "Allied strategy calls for de fense of Singapore WITH ALL THE MEANS AT OUR DIS POSAL in order that It may become the base for the offen sive to be launched In the Pacific area." . s U7E thus have before us the probable picture of events to come. Manila will probably have to be given up. Attempting to de fend it would be too dangerous. Jap command of the air can't be disregarded. The American Asiatic fleet will doubtless be based on Singapore, and both defensive and offensive operations con ducted from there. Brady. M. D. THEN SOME ONE HAS LIED wholesome and as easily and quickly assimilated and as desir able source of energy ai any other sugar, and as long at the taste la good I don't care wheth er or how much glucose you put in the product. But please do not insult my Intelligence by trying to make me believe a little glucose makes a product in any way more de sirable than one similarly made with any other kind of sugar would be, for infant, adult, in valid or athlete if you do I will call you what you are.

It will convince vou quickly enough of the supreme importance of Singapore. With Singapore gone, the Japs would ! not only have the oil and rubber of the Dutch East Indies, but the way would be cleared for them to attack the British In the rear in the Middle East. If such an attack be made and should be successful, it would rescue Hitler from the worst of his difficulties. ... A YEAR ago Hitler, in a rjur V.ar't mnuffa in Vi ! . troops, said: The year 1941 will BRING COMPLETION of the greatest victory in our history." Today, speaking again to his soldiers in a New Year' order of the day, he says: "1941 HAS BEEN a year of heaviest decisions and most sanguinary fighting but WILL BE known in history as the year of our greatest victories of all times." He adds that Russian power must be def'nitely smashed. ... WHILE Hitler was thus ad " dressing his people and his soldiers, the Kuibyshev (Rus sian) radio was broadcasting: "In 1942, we shall chase every German out of Russia and score a final victory." Remember that it will be DEEDS, not words, that will lick Hitler. ... "N the favorable side, the Russians recrosa the Kerch strait, retake the town of Kerch, press on to the west and give everv proof of possession of sufficient power to throw the Germans out of the Crimean peninsula, which Is their hoped for jumping off point for inva sion of the Caucasus. ... rNE lltUe story to finish to day's recital of events: Canadian newspaper men pre sent a sealskin hat to Churchill Trying it on, he takes the cigai out of his mouth, puts on the new hat, and when he puts the cigar back In his mouth gets it WRONG EN"D FIRST as many a man has done before him.

J Kelly's Comment From Washington Economy Effort To Hit Northwest Flood Control On "Out" Lut CCC, NYA AUo Face Elimination Bw Joha W. r.llT Washington, D. C, Jan. 2.- Northwestern states face the loss of many millions of dollars of government funds under the rec ommendations of the Joint com mittee on reduction of non-essen tial expenditures. There is suf ficient dynamite in the recom mendations to jar most of the residents of Washington and Ore gon and bring home to them that the United States is In a war which will require so much of government funds that every dollar now spent for non-defense purposes must be saved. There is no section of the northwest that Is not affected, either as to commodities, Individuals yor groups. The .only hope Is that not all the recommendations will be car ried into effect and that senate and house members will put up a scrap on many of the items listed for reduction or elimina tion. To rub in the bad news, it can be stated that the econo mies recommended are only the beginning; a further list o( non essentials will be submitted later. ... OF general importance Is the recommendation to allocate to the states only SO per cent of the federal aid sums for high way systems. What this means in the way of development of the road system, maintenance and construction of arterial high ways, forest roads and roads through the public domain and roads across Indian reservations is apparent to everyone, especi ally the owners of nearly one million passenger automobiles, trucks and buses in the north west. Recommended Is the freezing of reclamation projects applying particularly to the reclamation division of Grand Coulee's 1, 200 000 acres; the studies for a reclamation project on Rogue river, studies of a project for cut-over lands in western Wash ington; neither authorization nor appropriation for new projects Whether the committee's pro gram would stop further con struction on the Deschutes pro ject and the Anderson ranch dam is not certain, as the former is now progressing rapidly and the latter just started with $2,500, 000. The definite opposition to any new federal dams strikes at Umatilla on the Columbia and the four navigation dams on Snake river. ... FLOOD control, says the com mittee, should be stopped for the duration. There are a half dozen flood control projects under way or in the making in the northwest, the largest of these being the Willamette val ley project on which army engi neers are now engaged; there is the flood control on Walla Walla river and various other streams. Stoppage of the Willamette val Vy project, with its series of re servoirs to equate the flow of Willamette river, would create a mess for only some of the re HERE'S THE 'One Ouart Golden Greater than Guernsey Average Milk Milk by the Contains Following SULPHUR l.B 'rains 225 greater (To Purify the Blood) MAGNESIA 2.1 " 57 " (For th Body Fluids) SODA 10.J " 45 " (To N.utralii.

This recommendation also means a long delay In constructing new navigation locks at Oregon City. Farmers are hit hard in the report. All the activities of farm tenant administration are recom mended for abolishment The farm security administration, with migratory labor camps In eastern Washington, near Nyssa, Corvallis and elsewhere, and which hag been active In re habilitation work, Is to be closed if the committee'i advice Is taken. The food stamp plan Is headed for extinction Soil con servation benefits, which scat tered several million dollars to northwest farmers, Is listed for reduction. The 1941 checks will be distributed next month. ... COMPLETE elimination of CCC and NYA Is favored, includ ing the training of boys for na tional defense. It Is insisted that these two agencies have no legi timate reason for existence at a time when young men can be otherwise engaged, either in army, navy or essential industry. They were set up to provide work for sons of relief families and aid students In high school and college at a cost to the gov ment of approximately $1,000 per year per man. No more postoffices or federal court buildings nor additions to present structures are favored. For WPA the committee has hopes of a saving of perhaps one half billion dollars. For the first three months the committee recommends only fifty million dollars and thereafter appropria tions held close to unemploy ment. What the committee is driving at is to eventually turn back to the responsibility of the states, counties and communities the task of providing for the re liefers, a job taken over by the federal government during the past eight or nine years. Of the hundreds of WPA jobs which have been approved by the pre sident as eligible for funds (pro viding they are approved by state administrators) very few will ever materialize after the war; only essential projects as sociated with national defense will receive the green light, such as building access roads and air fields.
