PAGE TOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1942.- Washlngton, March IS JF Senator Bilbo (D., Mia.) urjed the icnata today to act speed idly on legislation which would bar the sal of alcoholic bev erage! In are&a around military establishments. : Asserting that drunkenness Of some German troops contrib uted to Hitler's failure to cap ture Moscow, Bilbo said con gress ought to take steps to pre vent the sale of intoxicating beverages to American soldiers, sailors and marines. Communications Phooey On Puking Metersl To the editor: -' Parking maters for Medford? Now who ever thought of that one? Evidently some people do not read the papers or listen to the radio. Haven't they heard about the gigantic struggle we are now engaged In? Haven't they heard the solemn warning from Washington that there will not be one pound of rubber available for three years, for the manufacture of automobile tire for the common citlren? Furthermore, the government may find It necessary to com mandeer the tires now on our cars. Does Medford expect great Influx of tourists under such conditions? How many cars do you suppose will be able to park anywhere but In the garage. In six months or year? In my Judgment, it will be many years before Medford, or any other city has a traffic problem. We will see the old hitching post installed again before that time. (You might get up a good edi torial on that "Forty years from hitching post to hitching post.") Some people lust will not grasp the stark reality of this thing until it hits them square between the eyes. Like the Day of Judgment, somehow it will not affect them, It Is something for the other fellow to worry about. One cannot blame the parking meter people for trying to un load their stock of meters, but that is no reason why Medford should play the "fall guy." They must have them In stock. It is hardly poslble that the priorities board would permit the diver sion of skilled labor and pre cous war materials to the manu facture of an article so utterly useless as parking meters will be in a few months from now and for years to come. Fan dancers for national de fense; parking meters for tire less automobiles. Phooey, page the psychiatrist. Alexander H. Smith Box SB, Copper Rt., Jacksonville, Ore. The Darkest Cloud To the editor: Her is one nice thing about a democracy; If something don't suit us we can say so. Of course. nobody may care to listen, but one gets quite a kick, and some relief, lust In the "say so." As we see It, the darkest cloud In the American sky, Just now. Is the rapid approach of com plete union domination of this country, and the appeasement policy of our government in dealing with the matter. Wheth er that policy springs from fear or from a willing cooperation, is debateable. Our commander In chief late ly told the world "We shall not stop work for single day." Fine! But immediately the un ions proceed to "show him by deliberately stopping the work of many thousands of men in vital war Industries. What was done about it? Nothing. America is awakening to this tremendous fact, we must now either meet and conquer the gigantic axis power, at the cost of million of lives, of unthink able debt and of measureless property Ion, or else cravenly surrender this liberty for which our fathers died, and which we hold dear. But, suppose w pay that price, win that victory, then wearily turn from the bloody battlefield to the "Land of the free and the home of the brave" to once more enjoy that liberty which we have again saved only to find ourselves under the crushing grinding heel of union dictation, under which, if we want to work, we must pay dearly for that privilege. To find that w are not allowed to build our own home, plow our own field or spray our own trees because all work has been unionized and is rigidly con trolled. And If w decide to show bit of American inde pendence and "run our own affairs" we will face this dilem ma; unionize or starve, That dark cloud In the Amer ican sky is approaching right now at hurricane speed. Ap peasement? Hitler and the Jap have each demonstrated the cost and futility of appeasing evil. Are we now repeating that tragic experience with this do mestic evil? We are urged to forget all our domestic differ ences and give undivided atten tion to licking the axis but our 'all out" effort and the morale of America will be greatly im proved, if we know that our priceless liberties will be safely guarded from foes within, whili we concentrate on the foes with out.

Total war, into which this country was forced so suddenly, has added immeasurably to the responsibility of American newspapers... a re sponsibility they have been quick to meet, re gardless of the cost and the effort. It is a two-fold responsibility... A responsibility, first, to the public. ..to keep it fully informed in these critical days, to bring it the vital news of the day, completely, accu rately and quickly. A responsibility to advertisers, too... to give them the best means of telling their story, pre senting their merchandise and services to the public where and when it will do the most good. In fulfilling this responsibility, newspapers are serving not only manufacturers and retailers who have things to sell... they are also serving the millions of readers who must continue to buy the countless things they need and want. In newspapers the advertising is news, too... more so today than ever before. In newspapers the advertising is received as a welcome, helpful service. That is why, as The Continuing Study of Newspaper Reading shows, people read the ads as well as the news so thoroughly. And the Study shows that big news, war news, increases the reading of newspaper ads... that when big news breaks, the advertiser can count on even closer attention to his message by even more people than in normal times. To the men and women oj this country the news paper is more valuable today than ever bejore. That's what males it so valuable a medium today jor all advertisers... whether their problem is to produce more sales, build good-will, describe their part in the war program, advise consumers on the war-time use oj their products, or to maintain brand identity, dealer jriendship, and public ac ceptance jor the peace-time years to come. ir-Tht Bureau of Advertising ir American Newspaper Publishers Association r of which this newspaper is a member t WE GIVE S ft H GREEN STAMPS One Stamp with every 10c purchase (fair trade items excepted) PIGGLY WIGGLY SUPER MARKET Shop Here This Week End and Note the Many Savings You Make On All Your Food Purchases S2t South Riverside Dial 2325 Free Delivery Oh Orders of 11.00 or Over Business Hours Week Days 7:30 a.m. to S p.nu Sunday Hours, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Special Prices Effectica Saturday-Monday Except as Otherwise Noted YELLOW AMERICAN CHEESE Mild, Full Cream CRACKERS Cascade I rand Fresh, Crisp Soda 2 lb. box rD,ri5 JfcVt flF I Regular XV Grind toffP y IN THE WEST.
