Only a few spots of snow visible in the Missouri valley, and the ice out of the river, except for stray floating chunks that wouldn't even have given Eliza a footing. Early this morning a coal chute stuck, piling coal on the Northwestern track near Creswell, so deep it took over an hour fot a section crew to shovel it off, with the result we arrived an hour late. A ' bombadier" got on the train at Chicago last night, white with excitement. Just out of the hospital with a broken shoulder, ha had been ordered to the Pendleton air base that day. (If he had been ordered to the North Pole or Timbuctoo he would not have been more agitated!) Carefully combing his thick black hair well plastered with grease, he opened up. half to himself, half to the only other occu pant of the men's "smoking room " "Some trip I'm takin', way out to 'Oree-GWAHN." place called Pendleton, ever been there, yeah? Nice town? is it In the woods? how big Is It, when we get there? well, that ain't bad, thought it would be a lot longer, some trip, some trip I am tokin' "I" aaa The young man had never been west of Worcester, Mass., it seems, but expects to see action in the Far East before he returns. Started as a pilot but now a bombardier in a three-motored ship. broke his shoulder in a forced landing somewhere in the Berk shires. Still feels a bit shaky physically after a long siege in the hos pital, but not in spirit, not exactly! As full of beans and con fidence as a young f-x terrier. "Wait "till we yet at them Japs!" chirped he, "and this war will be a different story. Yes sir. know what I did before I was hurt, got 18 bulls-eyes out of 20 shots, from 20,000 feet on u target only six feet square. Oh, it ain't me, it's the plane and the bomb sight. Best ever, don't let the Japs and Heinies tell you different. Why, the Japs ain't within a million miles, they ain't got a plane, the U. S. A. would even PASS for combat. That's why we have knocked him so hard there in Burma, about 20 Jap planes to one of ours day-after-day. It's like shooting fish. That's the word we get anyway from the boys who have gone over there. This lb an air war, and all we need is about five thousand good plane.: to clean the Japs out of the air entirely. we will have "em by Decoration day. Too late? Naw, that's only 60 days. The war will be over by New Year's, and don't laugh, it's the truth, this is an air war, and in the air we got it over them yellow-bellies like a tent the Heinies, too. But nell, the Russians will clean up that outfit, O.K. Yes sir. Show me a Jap warship nnd at 20,000 feet, and a fairly quiet sea I will guarantee to send a bucket of T, N. T. right down the rear funnel, I GUARAN1EE!" a a a a . Having Just read how the Dutch defenses were crumbling near Batavia, this sort of chatter cocky as it was, greatly cheered, and ever since we have felt that with a million young Yanks like that we not only can't be beaten but are sure to win. Talk about the war being over this year however, strikes this depart ment as nonsense, and the less such an idea is bruited about the better. On this trip we hnve talked with army men in Washington end Rockford, also to alight extent in New York and Chicago, with this resulting Impression: The higher up the speaker, the better Informed and experi enced, the less optimistic he Is, the more he stresses the NECES SITY of the ENT1RF oountry going ALL-OUT if the war is to be won. On the other hand from the same sources we ha,ve re ceived 'he strong impression that if Hitler Is to win, he will HAVE TO WIN this year before the winter of 1942 sets in, or approximately in the next seven or eight months. Finally, also based largely upon professional opinion: The one best bet for an allied victory Is so concentrating IT. S. air power against the axis, that such a victory in this critical and comparatively brief period will be Impossible! Over this hump, ULTIMATE victory for the united nations will be CERTAIN. Another interesting passenger is an old boy with a thick thatch of tousled white hair and a red nose like Santa Claus, en route to Son Francisco where he is to resume his Job as a marine engineer, a vocation he has followed for 37 years. The ficlghter on which he had served for a decade was sunk in the Caribbean, and had he been on the Job he would have been sunk as well but he was tick at the time and in the hospital. Three of his mates were drowned but over 30 of the crew were saved. The old man's mlldi.es3 is surprising, It appears to have been all In the day S work with him and while the soldier boys and a couple of naval fliers on board listening to his story curse out the Hun babarities the ship's engineer recounts his adventures in the most impersonal and matter of fact way. He was In an open boat only 48 hours, and when he landed at Tampa felt much better, he soys, than when the ship was torpedoed. He is now shipping on a smaller freighter and thinks lie won't be torpedoed again for dose fellers are lookin' for dec big fish, not minnows." He talks with a marked Scandinavian accent has light blue and rather sad eyes, but gives vne the feeling he would be a pretty dependable person in a tight spot. His onfy complaint is the "sleeper." paid for a berth but can t s'eep juct lies there "waitin' fur a nice li'l roll."

R.W.R. New Book by Rev. F. W. Wcatlierf ord Wins Compliments of Theologians First copies of "The Cross Interprets Christianity," latest book from the pen of the Rev. Fred M.

William Brad;, 163 El Caralno. Beverly Hills. Calif. WELL BALANCED DIET IS NOT ENOUGH Every little while some one who purports to speak with au thority asserts that it Is not n e c e ssary to t a ke vitamins if you have a i well balanced diet, including reasonable amounts of fresh vege tables, fresh fruits, milk, eggs, greens, etc. These foods, if you eat enough of them every day, will provide all the vita mins you require. Thfre is a catch In that sug gestion. The catch is that no one with an ordinary appetite or capacity for such "protective" foods can eat enough of them to get the vitamins required to maintain good health. In no in stance has any such adviser at tempted to suggest a day's menu of the "protective" foods one should eat in order to get the amounts of the various vitamins one requires. Here is an estimate ot the daily requirements of the healthy adult that is, the amount of each essential vita min required to prevent actual manifestation of deficiency dis ease. These figures represent the average of several recognized authorities: Vitamin A 3,000 unity daily Vitamin Bl 600 units daily Vitamin C 500 units daily Vitamin D 1,500 units daily Remember, these are the aver age minimum requirements. A quart of milk contains about 2,000 units of vitamin A. The yolk of an egg about 825 units. Two tablespoonfuls of carrot about 1,000 units. A teaspoonful of butter about 100 units. A teaspoonful of fish liver oil about 2,500 units. Most Americans get more than half of their calories from wheat and sugar. Americans a hun dred years ago did, too, but from the undcrnaturized wheat flour and sugar or molasses they used they got also about 600 units of vitamin B (and proportionate amounts of all the other entitles in the natural vitamin B com plex.) Americans today get from the refined white flour and refined white sugar that yield over half of their dally calories only about 50 units of vitamin B (and proportionate amounts of the other entities).

The Phil Murray plan of de fense, which was presented to the president, called for estab lishment of industry councils to do about the same thing a these new plant committees. It says: "Each council shall be charged with the responsibility of ex pediting the defense program and assuring thei adequate pro duction of domestic or non-mlli-ary goods. , ." That plan was discarded by the government, but the shell of it seems involved in the "more production drive." There are two notable differences. The joint labor-management commit-1 tecs will now be for each plant, Instead of each industry, and no government representative will sit on them. The question whether the "more production drive" could not have been organized on a less controversial basis therefore naturally is arising and at a had time. The Job might have been done by separate labor and management committees, or by a labor committee alone. Managers are not likely to speak out their suspicions and I risk the wrath of the govern j mrnt, but their caution is likely ; to lead the vital program into ! all manner of delays. aaa NO need yet to hide your tires in the cellar.

A slice of bread made of wheat meal or flour from which noth ing has been removed (the sort of flour our great great grand parents got when they took their wheat to the grist mill) contains about 30 units of B (and the other entities of the B complex.) A slice of white bread such as most people eat today contains about three units of B. one foufth cupful of rolled oats cooked as a cereal contains about 27 units of B. A glass of milk contains 32 units. An egg con tains 15 units, nearly all in the yolk. Two tablespoonfuls of wheat germ contains 180 to 200 units. Thirty peanuts contain 70 to 75 units. One-half cupful of dried beans or dried' peas cooked contains about 90 units prolonged cooking, necessary to make beans and peas most palatable, destroys some of their vitamin B and some of it is dis solved out in the water if they are cooked by boiling. As these are among the richest food sources of B it is obvious that few individuals in this country today get enough vitamin B to maintain good health.

C Coastal Industry ' Worried by Knox Army, Navy Head Are Far Apart Stop Making Carpets, Rugs ; Br John W. Ktllr- Washington, D. C, March 9 Frank Knox, secretary of the navy, did not improve the mo rale of coastal industries when he said that the so-called false alarm air raid over Los Angeles proves the necessity of starting to break up existing Industries west of the mountains and shift one unit of a factory at a time to the interior without inter rupting production. This applies to existing facilities now oper ating on the coast and not to these yet to be built. What many people have overlooked is that Secretary Knox was only re peating a statement made in January to his press conference. Installing new industries or removing existing ones from the location of their natural eco nomic position into a territory sparsely settled, with few if. any of the industrial workers re quired now found in the area, is becoming quite possible. And wherever the industries may be moved to from the coast the government must spend millions of dollars in providing housing for the workers, thus causing further delay in production, aaa THAT Los Angeles affair dis closes that the head men of army and navy are as far apart in their views as were Admiral Kimmel and General Short at Pearl Harbor, where the com manding officers could not get together. Secretary Knox (he has made more bad guesses than any other member of the cab inet) popped off that the visit of the aliened raiders was only a false alarm, and then argued the necessity of moving industries from the coast to the interior. Secretary Stimson of the war deparlmenti whose rank equals ; that of Knox, insists that the raid was the real thing, al though no bombs were dropped, and cpincs that the raiders were using commercial planes. The navy did nothing; the army fired 1,430 anti-aircraft shells. The point which remains a mystery is why no intercep tors were sent into the air to look for and engage those enemy planes. From Everett, McChord, Portland, Pendleton and Boise the protection of the coast has been delegated to the intercep tor commands, although the nnvv la hereafter to take, over Washington, D. C, has stamped them as phoney despite army officers in command of defenses against enemy fliers, who assert that they have been the real thing. aaa REGARDLESS of the failure tt r-o t ff rnhinpt mmHfr tn , on ,he riousnes. of the .id ( have one tmng , jcommoni and that is the idea ;of moving industry to a place , r,Rard safer ,h(m the ' t Th. sUrt haJ been made jn ,he northwest with tne aluml. num rolling min being sent to SnnVntis and now the war de partment is to build a quar tcrmasters depot near the Her miston - Umatilla area, costing around S10.000.000. This depot will be 200 miles Inland from the coast, behind the Cascades, and will be used to divert ipplic. tQ ei,ner Pugct sound this depot would have 1 ndi ut-n mis been located in the Vancouver- Portland district. Idea behind , . r i the location on the upper to- Iiki. i. . et from Ilumbia is to get away the so-called bombing area, the theory being that the enemy bomber, even on a suicide mis sion, could not reach a point inland 200 miles from the coast , a 30-minute flight.

Lobsters on the east coast once went to 30,000, 000 pounds a year but have fallen far below that poundage There is apprehension in the northwest that the continuous and heavy catches of crabs may deplete the supply until it will decrease as rapidly as the lob ster. The study is expected to lead to legislation to conserve the shellfish. There Is an in creasing demand for crabmeat now that the Japanese can no longer flood the American mar ket; the Japs had about 80 per cent of the crabmeat market until the war started. o o MARK down carpets and rugs under the heading "hard to get."

Burlap has been with held from the carpet makers because of a shortage and no more will be permitted to go into the making ot carpets. Communications IVERSON FOR METERS To the editor: I have Investigated the pres ent proposition of the Medford water commission wanting ' to put in meters and find this: It is part of the requirement the army cantonment setup and so it becomes an emergency. and a patriotic duty on our part to comply much as our own selfish interest might object to it. In investigating water supply for the cantonment they found that Medford people were using over twice as much water per capita as the average city in fact our water consumption is about the highest in the United States, with waste of near one fourth of the entire capacity of our water system at 3 o'clock in the morning. The army could take what water they needed, whether or no, but they do not want to hurt Medford so they make this proposition that we build an other reservoir to save the waste and assure us of a back-log of water, a chlorination unit is absolutely required in case of sabotage, and that we put in meters to stop the waste. This will cost about $213,000. of which we are asked to fur nish $50,000 and they will fur nish the other $165,000. They will pay us about $60,000 per year for the water and we are to pay them $15,000 per year to liquidate the $165,000, and if they move out tha whole debt is cancelled. In the face of the fact that we will furnish water for the cantonment and possibly 10,000 people outside in addition to what we now supply it seems to me this is a mighty eood business proposition for Med ford. The rate of charge for metered service is being made just as low as possible and the allow ance for water to each meter will be about three times as much as the average or plenty for every use that the average property calls for. Here are some figures that will give Medford citizens a picture of the whole proposition. capacity oi present system, 10 million gallons per day. Peak consumption in past on hottest day has been 9V4 millon gal- ions. Capacity of present two reservoirs, four million gallons (not even half day supply). Capacity of proposed reservoir, 10 million gallons. Estimated requirement for cantonment, five million gallons per day. Average consumption has been about six million gallons, of which it is figured nearly half can be saved, making the pres ent capacity of our system ade quate for all needs if we have In Every One's Life There Is a Time - - - - OYet. there's a time whin tha need for helpful funeral service arises.

Mtln St. a back-log of 14 million gallons in reservoirs. The one big problem is the 2Vi million gallons that run through the system at 3 o'clock every morning and represents practically 100 per cent waste. The meter would stop all this as no one would want to pay for it. There is proposition to put in another pipe line, but that would take six months and the emergency of hot weather is very soon on us. The water department has an emergency fund to cover the cash that we would have to put up, so there would be no bond issue. Also the emergency is so close on us that an election would causa too much delay. Plans are being made for a public gathering at which all sides will be heard. GEO.
