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.

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. Edwin Deacon,

Newspaper advertising
in a nation at War
NEVER BEFORE have people turned to news
papers so eagerly, trustingly, hungrily,
and in such large numbers... for all the news,
for Jul! reports, for complete details.
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.
