It Just doesn't sound complimentary. To us, by the same token, reference by the Grants Pass Courier to the people of that city as GeePees' seems a bit out of line." yesterday, via London, came the blood-chllllng word a reign of terror swept Madagascar, and hell was popping, fore, aft and amidship. The Free French were under arrest and the Nip ponese were coming to threaten the supply lines of the United Nations. A gloomy picture fraught with 111 was painted. Then came word from Madagas car "life was normal" and noth ing much was doing. There, my friends, was a mess of over cooked propaganda. The Oregon beaches will re main open to the public. Can didates can now see Nipp U boats offshore, with the picture of their leading rival tacked on the bridge.

The Texas amateur astrolo ger who prophesied Herr Hitler would kick the bucket ana turn up his toe yesterday, hit upon a good idea, but did not hit hard enough.

Too 1a ta to tuullj 12 JO p. B. War vs. Business "Business as usual," is out It should be. In a war like this, indeed in any modern war, NORMAL business can not be carried on. On the other hand, we can't believe the abandon ment of business as usual MUST mean the abandon ment of business entirely! DUT that i what it appears to mean, more and more as time goes on. Many small business firms in Southern Oregon have already been forced to close. Others not so small are barely hanging on. And the reason? Business is good but they can't get goods to sell. What are we heading for? All around bankruptcy for ALL business not directly engaged in the war effort? (And here in Southern Oregon it should not be forgotten, the real war industries can be counted on the fingers of one hand.) ( TXE realize this is a delicate subject ' The country is up to the neck in a war for sur vival. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING should be allowed to interfere in any way with that war effort But can't we do EVERYthing that MUST be done, without driving business as a whole, particularly small business, into insolvency? THAT'S the question. Frankly we don't know. But we DO know this: if the present destructive teniency is not soon checked, we will have in the MIDST of war, an economic business disaster of major proportions. If such a tragedy can't be avoided without weaken ing our all-out war effort, ok, it MUST be done. No loss in merely material wealth is too high a price to pay, to save this world from Hitler-Japanese domination. DUT does the present administration KNOW it 0 CAN'T be? We believe the time has come for some intensive research concerning this vital problem. The administration has the brains, the machinery and should be able to find the time. Let the powers that be clear up the atmosphere, definitely determine if some practical way to fight a war on one hand, and avoid a devastating economic collapse on the other, CAN'T be found. There is no time to lose. Small areas of the economic structure are already starting to crumble. Therefore next to the actual fighting, the most critical problem facing the country at the present time, as we see it, is the problem of so synchronizing PEACE business with WAR busi ness, small business with big business, that victory can be won without destroying our established economic system. 'The Best Laid Plans of Mice ' One of the most notable editorials Arthur Brisbane wrote in the days when he was one of the Elder Statesmen of journalism and wrote a column of mis cellany every day, had to do with the vitality and persistence of a mouse. Within the last two weeks 1 have had opportunity to verify Mr. Brisbane's find ings, without having to drown the mouse, as I believe he finally did. Rearranging things in the garage, I noticed that the lid on a wooden tub of bone meal fertilizer was askew. When I started to straighten it a mouse hop ped out, gave me a minimiscule dirty look, and van ished under the place where the garden swing was stored. In the bone meal tub I found a neat mouse nest all ready, but not yet inhabited by baby mice. I destroyed it and put the lid firmly on the tub. Tuesday night I ran the car into the garage as usual, and Wednesday morning the daughter and I started to town as usual. At the road intersection Louise Spicer was waiting for her bus and looking as if she had missed it, so we pulled up and offered her a lift. The moment she stepped into the back of the car she said, not in the least hysterically, "There's a mouse it's gone into the front of the car." I looked down, and there was the mouse. I dabbed at it and it went into the back of the car. The girl dabbed at it, and it came front again, where it van ished under the edge of the seat as I dabbed at it once more. We couldn't find it, back or front, so I got out and lifted the front seat. Under it, among the tools, was a mouse's nest, out of which the mouse hopped, gave me the same dirty look I remembered, and slid into the back of the car. The girls got it by the tail and tossed it into the grass. I put the seat in place and drove on into town, wondering, as I still wonder, how long the mouse has been commuting from my home to town in its little nest; also I regret the unavoidable circum stances which will make the mouse's husband wonder what has become of his home. Sometimes a wife runs out on her husband, but not often does she take the house with her. Dean Collins in Oregon Journal.

Bewlj Hills. Calif. TO KNOW OR Knowledge banishes the great-, est allies of cancer. Those allies are Dread, Doubt and Delay. In my files are numerous letters from people who have learned by reading this column of the possible significance of some neglected condition and sought proper examin a 1 1 o n which revealed cancer early for the Know! edge which enabled them to get the benefit of taking It in time Is offset In part by the criticism by other people who condemn as mischievous and against pub lic welfare the printing of any description of cancer which might cause a reader to imagine he has it. I don't know, maybe there are people, even Intelligent people, who would rather remain in ignorance or In doubt than know whether their trouble is or is not cancer. Probably such peo ple compose a majority of the unfortunates who procrastinate or put off consulting a physician or submitting to operation from Dread of "the ki.ife." It would be a boon to humanity if these people who succumb to Dread could hear what the thousands and thousands of patients who submit to operation have to say about their experience. They would soon realize at least that Dread of "the knife" or of oper ation is a childish fear not founded on actual experience. Any human being who volun tarily remains in Doubt as to whether or not he or she has cancer is bound to worry over it, and worry is a health-destroying emotion the longer one worries the more ones health fails and the progres sive failure in health naturally makes one worry all the more about the nature of the trouble. If that isn't the course of an imbecile I'd like to knov what you call it. Radical and early surgery, X-ray and radium are the only possible cancer cure's known today. Sometimes one of these remedies alone may be suffi cient; sometimes surgery Is best employed after a course of X-ray or radium treatment; and some times X-ray or radium treat ment si uld be applied follow ing surgery to prevent recur rence of the cancer in or about the area from whicl. it has been removed. Any one who has undergone operation for cancer knows that there is no suffering during operations and his or her con dition after operation Is at least less distressing than it would inevitably become if the cancer were not so treated.

Dill Co.) Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C Shark Industry Interests Solons Reclamation To Help War Effort Lumber Needed For Far Bases Br John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, April 24. Congressional eyes bugged out when members were told that fishermen on the west coast are making several hundred dollars a day catching soupfin sharks and selling the livers. Charles E. Jackson, assistant director of fish and wildlife service, related that he saw a boat come in after four days at sea with a catch that sold for $27,000. The sharks, it was explained, are a new source of vitamin A, and with this particular vitamin somewhat scarce (no longer im ported from Japan or Norway), the price of the shark liver is remarkable. Ten trillion units of vitamin A are wanted for the British under the lend-lease act. Pro lific source of the vitamin Is the soupfin shark on the northwest coast. The liver is about one fourth the weight of the shark and is processed in California. Fishermen began catching the shark last year and it has de veloped Into an Industry. From Port Orford north shark catch ing is almost as important as tuna fishing. No study has been made of the soupfin shark by fish and wildlife service, but no fear is expressed that the species will be exterminated under the current drive. The Chinese for centuries have been making soup of the fins of this particu lar shark and so far as known it is not a man-eater. Other fish are being experi mented with the seek additional sources of vitamin A. The ex periments are being conducted by private interests under super vision of the federal govern ment. THERE will be no alien prop erty custodian in the northwest, according to the office of Leo J. Crowley, who has been placed in charge of this work by the president. There will be no of fice in Oregon and no need is seen for an office In Washing ton. If an office is opened on the coast, which they doubt, it will be in San Francisco. Some thing like a dozen men had ap plied for appointment In Wash ington and Oregon. e e e RECLAMATION Commission er John Page says that reclama tion will play an Important part in war preparations. In the first place, the department of agriculture asks for an In crease in dairy product and the western states are stepping up their cows by 200,000. The cattle require more alfalfa, and this crop is a specialty on re clamation projects. The com mission says that the sugar beet grower can meet the sugar situation if given an oppor tunity. Seventy per cent of the two million tons of sugar pro duced domestically last year came from a dozen states. There are 29 reclamation projects in 12 states producing sugar beets. Of the dozen states Idaho, Ore gon and Washington loom large. e e APPROPRIATION for the re clamation bureau for the fiscal year 1943 have been given to Droiects where nower is rirvl. oped. Stress is laid on power. trie explanation being that it is impossible to produce too much electricity for the war effort. Projects, under way, which have no power have received no money for the coming year. The principal purpose of the recla mation bureau is being set aside, for the Irrigation has been the first objective on all projects. Now it is hydryelectric power and reclamation is- secondary. This shift in policy was made by the director of the budget, and as the budget director never does arfynhing without the ap proval of the president, the em phasis on power instead of irri gation comes with the highest indorsement. Not a nickel was appropri ated for the Deschutes project, nor the Payette, for the budget director turned thumbs down. However, Commissioner Page has enough for these projects in unexpended funds to carry on construction work for an other year. Project investiga tions will continue in 1943 at Kennewick, Hanford, and a basin-wide study between Green and Puyallup, in Washington, and at Medford, Talent, Sams Valley, Merlin, Pendleton, Clear lake, Walla Walla (basin-wide), John Day (basin-wide) and five projects in Willamette valley. .
