How About Water-Meters?
THE Mail Tribune has had an open mind as far as
water meters are concerned. We don't LIKE the
idea. (We doubt if ANYONE does.)
And if anyone can show us how we can keep
our pledge to the army cantonment, and do our war
job, as it should be done, WITHOUT installing
meters, then we will gladly go along with them.
But to date no one has proposed a plan, as we
see it, whereby that can be done. At least all the
"anti" proposals we have seen can be grouped under
two main headings:
(1) We can fulfill our water-war obligations without
meters.
(2) To a community accustomed to cheap and un
limited water, meters would be Irksome.
MUMBER One is merely a blanket claim without
any supporting evidence.
On the other hand the claim that only WITH
water meters can Medford properly fulfill its water
obligations, to the people of this city AND the can
tonment, is not only supported by overwhelming cir
cumstantial evidence, but by every recognized water
authority we have been able to consult.
.
AS to Number 2 no one denies it
After these many years of cheap and unlimited
water, it WILL be irksome to have the city water
metered, particularly to those who have large places
to keep green, and have enjoyed the luxury of wast
ing water all these years.
But what of it?
It may be irksome to have no new tires for the
family cars; no open sugar jar for the kiddies; no
horse races or week-end football games, and various
other irks and inconveniences we don't like.
But are we in a war or aren't we?
And is that a war to the finish, or is it a week
end picnic?
'IXT'ITH hundreds of thousands of young men
' marching off to fight and, if need be, die
for their country, it seems to us that whatever
those who remain safely at home CAN do, to make
their lot a bit easier, or the war they must wage brief
er and more successful, should not only be done, but
done willingly and with enthusiasm.
And as we see it, the pledge to supply the local
army camp with 5 million gallons of water a day,
is a definite war obligation, under that general classi
fication. pVEN if it were legally possible to welch on that
" pledge now, to do so would be morally unthink
able. In other words,
That water to the cantonment must be supplied !
All right
But the members of the Water Commission, and
every water authority we have been able to find,
maintain, that the cantonment can't be supplied AND
the normal needs of the people of Medford ALSO
supplied under the wasteful system that has been
maintained.
And we must say this, the official record of
water use in this community sustains the validity of
this judgment. So do similar records in other cities
facing similar conditions up and down the coast
.
1MEDF0RD has a wonderful water system. It has
A an ample supply of pure water for both the city
AND the cantonment on a basis of USE; but it hasn't
and can not obtain an adequate system on the basis
of WASTE!
And say what one will an unmetered water sys
tem, on a cheap flat rate, is a system of WAS'lE,
and no amount of exhorting, or pleading, or praying,
yes or policing, by the authorities, can make it
anything else.
CO-O-
While we started out on this meter issue with an
open mind, and in the abstract don't like the IDEA
of water meters any better than anyone else,
We have come to the conclusion, after investiga
ting all the angles, that in view of the conditions
which exist, and the obligations, as well,
The installation of water meters, at least for
the duration, is not only demanded by sound busi
ness management but by proper patriotism and good
citizenship.
It isn't a question of what we may like, but
what, under the national emergency that exists, and
our moral obligations resulting therefrom, SHOULD
be and MUST be done 1
Mac Arthur In Command
OUR army friend back in Rockford, Illinois will
be delighted with the flight of General MacArth
ur and family from the Philippines to Australia.
Over six weeks ago, he maintained the retention
of MacArthur and his inevitable death or capture in
Bataan, came under the heading of criminal negli
gence, that such a military genius should be removed
by plane at once and placed in command of all the
allied forces in the Far East
Well somewhat belatedly, perhaps, that has
been done. And we doubt if the absence of the Gen
eral from the Philippine command, will materially
change the effectiveness of the American defense.
or m case of ultimate defeat, reflect in any way
upon his fidelity.
DUT just what the general may be able to accomp
u lish in the Far Pacific area, is another matter.
Long a resident in the Philippines and a student
of its problems, with two years to perfect an army
and a defense, for that particular terrain, no similar
advantage will be his in Australia, while the Japan
ese may still enjoy a naval and air superiority there,
v hich it will be extremely difficult to overcome.

VITAMINS AND
ThU Is an explanation, apology
and disavowal. In earlier talks
about cataract I mentioned that
there is some evidence to support
the theory

cause of catar
act In some
cases. The vi
tamin deficien
cies to which
I refer are de
ficiency of vi
tamin G (other
wise called B2
or riboflavin), vitamin C and
vitamin A.
I hope no one will misunder
stand what I say about this.
Certainly I do not know wheth
er vitamins have anything to do
with cataract In man. The only
reason I mention the matter at
all is this: Whether vitamins can
do any good or not In such cases
it is at least certain that they
can do no harm, and If I had
cataract or the beginning of cat
aract myself I would not fail to
supplement my diet with opt!
mal daily rations of the three
vitamins mentioned. Optimal
daily rations means a good deai
more of the vitamins than we
believe essential to prevent man
ifestations of deficiency disease
Generally it Is advisable to take
three or four times the daily
amount of each vitamin required
to prevent deficiency disease.
We'll discuss this important
health question In a later article.
All but two of a group of 37
rats in the University of Arkan
sas laboratory of Dr. Paul L.
Day developed cataract on a diet
adequate in other respects but
containing no riboflavin (vita
mln G. vitamin B2). Later Dr.
Day observed limilar develop
ment of cataract in monkeys,
mice and chicks kept on such
feed, and further found that by
adding some riboflavin to the
feed it was possible to prevent
development of cataract. Just
what bearing this may have on
cataract in man Is, as already
explained, unknown. As Dr. Day
himself expressed it: "A defi
ciency that results In such
marked and Irreparable damage
to such a highly specialized tis
sue as the lens should not be
considered lightly." To prevent
mlsunderstandina let me repeat
that this experimental evidence
indicates merely that riboflavin

How About Scrap Pap.r?
To the editor:
ome uw weeaa u
ago
was a
nation wide drive for
much needed scrap paper. In
this town, Medford. Oregon,
only newspapers and magazines
were accepted. I tried to con
tribute cardboard boxes but
they were refused.
I was. and still am. Interest
ed in what became of the paper
collected. How much and did it
help whore most needed?
Over the radio and In the pa
pers, and magazines. I hear the
slogans. "Buy Defense bonds
and stamps"; "Save your scrap
paper, tin cans, and all old un-
I necessitry and discarded metal
I scraps." your Uncle Sam needs
! them.
How many citizens of Med
' ford and the nation are doing
'that?
I On the other hand. Just what
I is considered scrap paper?

Brady. M. D.
CATARACT
(vitamin G or B2) may prevent
development of cataract. There
is no evidence that it will cure
cataract.
Individuals with cataract have
less vitamin C (cevitamic acid,
ascorbic acid) in their blood than
normal persons. As one author
ity (McLester, Nutrition and Diet
Saunders) puts it: "Cataract is
apparently related to vitamin C
deficiency, although the reports
of animai experiments are some
what conflicting. This vitamin
is known to be present in the
normal lens and in view of the
experimental evidence presented
... it seems reasonable to as
sume that deficiency in this re
tpect may so impair the lens as
to facilitate production of catar
act by agents which otherwise
are harmless" or perhaps it
would be more accurate to say
agents or causes which other
wise the eyes might withstand
without serious injury.
As for vitamin A and I mean
natural vitamin A. not carotene
nutrition authorities general
ly recognize that it prevents
xerophthalmia (r!ry eyes), night
Diinaness or difficulty in seeing
against, glare, ana some cases
of chronic sore red eyes. There
is no particular evidence that
it prevents cataract.

By Frank J.nkins
MEWS from the Pacific front
' today (Saturday) is slack.
Either nothing much is happen
ing at the moment or nothing
is being told.
Probably a little of both.
THE Japs have won the first
round. Thev have taken the
East Indies. They have all the
Philippines but Bataan. They
have closed the Burma road.
They must either stop and
consolidate their gains or GO
ON. The only safe assumption
is that they will go on.
If they are going on, they are
busy now preparing their next
blow. Obviously they aren't go
ing to tell us where it will fall.
Equally obviously, we aren't go
ing to tell them how we are
going to meet it.
In such situations, censorship
is justifiably rigid.
ANY good quarterback knows
that tipping off his plan of
attack (or his plan for defense)
to the other team would be
fatal.
It works the same way In
war.
Hence censorship.
Censorships are ADMINIS
TERED BY GOVERNMENTS.
Governments are not immune
to the temptation to tell their
people only what the individ
uals who make up the govern
ment think the people OUGHT
to know.
Because of this fact, many
mistakes are made by the cen
sors. 1
E learn by our mistakes.
In the first year of the war.
the inclination of the British
censors was to tell the public
nothing going on the principle
that the less the public knew
the less the enemy could find
out.
It didn't work.
Knowing NOTHING, the Brit
ish people became confused. Be
ing confused, they soon BE
CAME SCARED. Or cynical.
Fright and cynicism led to DIS
TRUST of Uie government.
Morale began to suffer.
Fortunately the British cen
sorship learned Its lesson in
time and began to tell people
in considerable detail what HAD
HAPPENED.
British morale immediately
rose.
""THIS writer thinks our own
government has been lean
ing too far in the direction of
telling us only what the gov
ernment thinks we OUGHT TO
KNOW.
People are beginning to fear
they aren't being told the whole
truth.
Distrust of the government Is
spreading.
MORALE IS BEGINNING TO
SUFFER.
Just as happened in Britain
in the first year of the war.
"UR government isn't delib-
v' erately misleading us. It is
merely setting itself up as the
judge of what we ought to be
allowed to know.
This is due in part to inex
perience with censorship to
lack of knowledge of what can
be told and what can't be told
without giving the enemy val-
uable military information.
It is ALSO due to the natural
and human (although unsound)
inclination of insiders to tell
the public as little as possible
for fear that if the public
KNOWS TOO MUCH it will get
out of hand.
TO the extent that our govern
4 ment is withholding infor
mation from us merely because
it doesn't yet know by exper
ience what can be told and what
can't be told without giving the
enemy valuable military infor
mation, we should be patient
with it.
As it gains experience with
censorship, it will become wiser
as the British government did.
But to the extent that the in
siders in our government are
holding back information of
what has already happened for
fear of what we might do if we
knew the full truth that is,
constituting themselves the
Judges of what we are FIT to
I know we should be both im
patient and angry.

ber is manufactured in suffic
ient quantity to approach the

A thorough investigation of
the rubber shortage is under
way by the Truman committee
of the senate, which specializes
in trying to discover what is
wrong with the war program.
One who will come in for cri
ticism is Jesse H. Jones, head
of the federal loan agency. Mr.
Jones refused to finance synthe
tic rubber plants until the na
tural rubber was being shut off.
He was long ago urged to aid
in the making of artificial rub
ber, but his banking mind re
sisted as synthetic rubber costs
more and it did not look like
good business. The committee is
also curious to know why, with
trouble brewing in the Pacific,
no greater effort was made to
bring cargoes of crude rubber
from the Far East.
On docks in the Far East was
stacked up sufficient rubber to
keep one American factory op
erating for two years. The rub
ber was bought and ready for
delivery, but shipping space
was scarce.
.
THE rubber question has
shifted sympathy from the auto
mobile dealer to the man who
owns a car. The dealer is in a
bad spot, but the private car
owner sees only that he will be
walking when his present tires
wear out. The lumber indastry
is already being hit, according
to complaints from the Douglas
fir and pine regions. Logging
trucks require an extra large
size tire. Most of the logging
operators carry a stock of old
and new tires, but according to
word sent back to OPA these
reserves are being exhausted
and the loggers want to know
what they will do for tires, and
say if there are no tires there is
nothing for them to do but shut
down. The greatest industry of
the three northwest states is
held to be In Jeopardy, with one
logging camp and sawmill after
another squeezed out of busi
ness by the rubber shortage.
ONE of the barbs aimed at
Jesse Jones is that his refusal
to finance synthetic plants two
or three years ago prevented
the United States from being at
least in part independent of the
crude rubber of the Far East.
This country lives on rubber
tires, and yet every pound of
rubber had to be imported. It
had been recognized that some
thing should be done to make
the United States self-sufficient
through synthetic rubber, but
Banker Jones could not see it;
just as his subsidiary corpora
tions preferred to import cop
per, chromite and other war
materials rather than develop
deposits of these ores in the
Pacific northwest. Next to Pres
ident Roosevelt, Jones is the
most powerful man in the ad
ministration (as he would be.
having the purse) but there are
aemanas oeing neara mat ne
step out.
ONE of the tasks of the fed
eral maritime commission is to
find some 18.000 to 24.000 men
to man the merchant ships that
are now under contract on Co
lumbia river and Puget sound.
Normal crew of one of these
vessels the C-type on Puget
sound and the "liberty" fleet
ships on ways on Columbia
river is approximately 30 men,
plus a gun crew of 10, these
latter to be supplied by the
navy. The boats under contract
on the west coast are only a
small part of the 2000 vessels
the commission is to produce.
In anticipation of finding offic
ers, the commission is training
young men in the east and they
will be qualified deck officers
by the time they go to sea.
Before long, in backwoods
postoffices. in grocery stores
and elsewhere far from the
ports there will be posters ap
pealing to farm boys and others
(if they are not already in the
draft) to Join the merchant mar
ine and help America deliver
the goods. In the merchant serv
ice. for the duration, crewmen
are covered by, insurance and

San Francisco, March 17
(IP) The army extended Its
alien control program to the
Rocky mountains, and even be
yond today, in a proclamation
setting up Utah, Nevada, Idaho
and Montana as military areas.
It also designated 934 new
prohibited zones in these states
and in California, Arizona. Ore
gon and Washington.
Lieut. Gen. J. L. DcWitt, com
manding general of the western
defense command and fourth
army, said military necessity
dictated the latest proclama
tion. A fortnight ago, in another
proclamation, DeWitt demarked
the three coastal states and Ari
zona as military areas.
Military installations, air
ports, utility plants, dams, high
way and railroad tunnels and
bridges made up the list of
scattered spots designated as
prohibited zones, from which
enemy aliens were barred.
Actual evacuation of all Jap
anese and German and Italian
nlipne from tratfain arose rt
the coast has not yet been or
dered, and the army pointed out
that the new proclamation is
not an evacuation order.
It states merely that "such
persons or classes of persons as
the situation may require" will
be excluded by subsequent pro
clamation from the military
areas.
