At one time or another the average citi zen has been hustled to do all these three things regularly. Tha Prime Minister of Aus tralia sang the blues and hit high C with gusto in his last speech. He vlsioned the United Nations losing afloat and ashore. What caused him to be melancholic when he had been so gay about victory the week before, puzzled commentators. There was a clue, however. Australians, It seems, were not buying war bonds fast enough, one could read between the lines. FEMIHINE FURY (Oakland (Calif.) Tribune) "Do you really mean you gave your husband a glucose Injection? You never gave one in your life." "I wish It had been arsenic," Mrs. Beard retorted. City Recorder Moses LaFay ette Alford had to enlist the services of a lady to read his own writing. There were two (2) reasons for this. The writ ing was cold, and, besides, he pens the tiniest script in town, with birdlike flourishes, fore nd aft The Park ave. war has ceased. Gen. Don Wilkinson, 9, has ac quired a coon jk in cap, with tail attached, and is now chasing Indians that need chasing. The Nipponese now claim a toe-hold in the Aleutian Inlands, where it Is so foggy an inva ling foe Is apt to grab his own toe. The song of the mowing ma chine and the cussing of its operator is again heard in these parts. The Premier of Great Britain has arrived for a war confer ence. This beats sending Harry Hopkins to London and Moscow on the same mission. STRIP TEASE (New York Times) "On the second occasion, Muller reported, she became 'abusive by using loud and profane language,' and he took her to the Manhasset station, where she was de tained until nood and then arraigned before District Court Judge George S. John son." The Nazis report the capture of the noble assassins of R. Hey drlch, "the hangman," In a church. High opinion doubts the veracity of the claim, hold ing It smells something like Italy sinking nine battleships with a typewriter. The war department prohibits fireworks of all kinds and de scription the coming Fourth of July. No Juveniles will be showing up the next day to re port they regret they had but one thumb to sacrifice for their country. A letter-writer wants women to "add the feminine touch to county affairs." About the first move would be to change the name of Jackson county to Jacques county. "On the way to the altar the groom stumbled." (Society Item, Red Bluff News.) Just a slight weakening of the knees In a crisis. About 23,000 tourists spent t4.000.000 in the Bahamas Is land during 1941 Why Does Churchill Return? The big news today is the second visit of Prime Minister Churchill to the White House, and the third war meeting of the two leaders of the Anglo-American world. Why has such a meeting been called? . The most popular answer is the establishment of the much-publicized "second front." What more natural than that Messrs. Churchill and Roosevelt, the former a world war veteran, the latter a former Secretary of the Navy, should work out the final and complex details. flELL mebbe so. There is no doubt this problem will be discussed. But what problem of the war, WON'T be? It is only a guess, of course. But we doubt if any allied invasion of Europe from the west, will be first on the agenda. A continuation and accentuation of the air-blitz, yes. But our o7n belief is any all-out attack via the channel, will wait until the atmosphere in the Middle Fast has cleared materially. THERE is no doubt Mr. Churchill wishes to give Russia every assistance. But there is also no doubt that with him, and with every Britisher, the safety of the Suez canal comes first. Our guess, therefore is, No. 1 on the Washington program, will be how the United States can most effectively aid Britain along the shores of the Medi terranean. And of course in this direction, as in every other, the big problem will be transportation. What Is Problem No. I? In fact here is the big problem of World War No. 2, the bottle-neck of all bottle-necks. Not how to produce the goods, but how to get those goods to the front It is our belief the problem of supply of war production, has been solved, and Uncle Sam has solved it The old gentleman with the chin whiskers has not only done what it was hoped he could do, but far more. The results indeed have been nothing short 01 miraculous. UT producing the planes, the guns and the soldiers is ONE thine. Uettine them where they will De n.ost effective is. quite ANOTHER. And it is this department's pious hunch that this all-vital matter of transportation and distribution, will be the theme-song 01 this meeting jno. 6, running ns a f nnstant. refrain throuo-h all the discussions, and the success of every proposal depending, to a greater or less extent, upon it. VES, saving the Suez may well be the first consider- ation, for the danger there appears most acute; aid to Russia by a second air, and perhaps ultimately land, front, might well come next with the defense of India a close third; but before everything, and running through everything, will come transportation and the U-Boat menace. With the sinking of merchant ships constantly in creasing, with the convoy system becoming more and more hazardous, particularly in the Mediterranean and Arctic, there is little doubt "Winnie" and "F.D.R." over their old Scotch and cigarets, will burn the most midnight oil, on the problem, NOT of pro ducing material and manpower but of getting both on the other side of the Atlantic and Pacific and up to the battle front In this direction we venture the guess that huge air freighters and long range fighters to protect them, will not be overlooked 1 B Personal Health Service By William Brady.

Some local defense factotum in the Los Angeles area deplores Secretary Stimson's statement that the U. S. victory at Midway removes, temporarily at least, any danger of a west coast Japanese invasion. Such a statement will impair defense morale he thinks. That's just like Los Angeles 1 They have become so dependent upon artifice and make-believe and general Hollywood hocos-pocus down there, they can't imagine any community be having itself with vigor and dispatch, unless there is a continuous and entirely spurious "build-up!" WHY SHOULDN'T the Secretary of War tell the truth? Since the result of that Midway clash has been kno'in, practically every recognized military and naval authority in the country, has emphasized this same cheering fact Why deny it, or try to camouflage it? f ANT our fellow countrymen in the grease-paint belt, conceive of maintaining a high morale, with out sending some Dracula out to scare all the school children by day, and shouting "boo" with a Japanese accent every night? "THERE is plenty in the situation as it exists, breth- ern, with token air-raids along the coast by Japan even more likely than before this devastating loss of face, without asking the populace to look under the bed every night, and put on a pair of false whiskers and a flowered kimona every morning. Instead of being criticized for this reassuring and forthright declaration the level-headed and capable Secretary of War should be highly commended. We have sufficient REAL dangers to fight, without wasting time and energy conjuring up synthetic ones! ra. toss It As You Gained It Of the nine out of a hundred fat folk who are "going on a diet" next week two go on a diet Of the two who begin dieting one gives it up after the first three or four days. The other, alas, geta nowhere, because the Dr. Brady diet is calcu lated to get you nowhere ex cept In a sanitarium or under the care of a doctor. Fundamental fault with most reducing diets is that they are designed to reduce REGARD LESS. A safe and sound reducing diet must be designed not only to reduce but also to maintain whatever degree of GOOD HEALTH and GOOD LOOKS the individual happens to have. In a crude way of viewing the question, there are two possible methods of controlling or reduc ing overweight or obesity or ex cessive displacement. One way is by simple starvation. The other way is by correcting the underlying fault or error of nu trition which accounts for the accumulation o f superfluous flesh. Most popular reducing diets act, if at all, in the first way. The only safe and sound, physi ological reducing regimen, diet or system an intelligent person should follow Is one designed to take care of GOOD HEALTH and GOOD LOOKS as well as to correct the underlying fault of nutrition. Such a physiological reducing regimen, of course, includes more than Just regulation of food intake. It Includes at least a reasonable regulation of energy expenditure, too, that is, regulation of metabolism or the oxidation, the combustion pro cess in the body. This means the diet must be supplemented with additional vitamins, and the Individual must get a cer tain amount of exercise in one way or another every day. Whatever vain dreams i-' overnight reduction to .ylnhlike loveliness the dumbbell custo mer of the "Hollywood" hokum may have, the first thing the in telligent individual who intends to reduce should understand is that it is DANGEROUS to health and DESTRUCTIVE to good looks to reduce, by any method or means, faster than two or three pounds a week. As a rule a steady loss of IVi to 2 pounds a week Is most likely to prove satisfactory In all respects. Nearly always, when there Is a loss of much more than two or three pounds in a week, the vic tim shows a corresponding Im pairment of vite and health and geneally a shocking loss of good looks. Moreover, If the health Is not too seriously damaged, the ex cessive loss of weight, if not the loss of good looks, is nearly re stored in the weeks following, when the severe restrictions of diet are relaxed. On the other hand, when reduction occurs at the rate of two to three pounds a week, on a physiological re ducing regimen, the individual usually feels better, looks better and thereafter finds it easier to maintain the improved nutri tional condition and keep the weight down. QCESTION9 ANSWERS Hot Fluihes Wonderful relief from hot flushes after using calcium and rltamln D as recommended In your pamphlet The Menopause." I had spent hun dreds of dollars for shots and what not and had received no relief or very little. (Mrs. A. T.) Answer still, who knows whether your relief was coincidental? Cer tainly I dont. However, the calcium and vitamin D can do no harm in any case. Copy of pamphlet "The Menopause" mailed on request In close stamped envelope bearing your address. Pineapple . Having- lrmg depended on pineap ple (canned) for vitamin O for our children we wonder what we can find to take lis place tn the diet. We understand the government has re served the entire output of pineap ple for Federal use. (M. O. 8.) Answer The government has re served only 19 of the 1943 peck of Hawaiian pineapple. There will con tinue to be approximately tha same supply of canned pineapple ae ever. Canned pineapple Is an excellent source of vitamin C. nearly as good as fresh citrus fruit or Juice, rlched than factory canned tomst or to mato Juice. Small glassful (about fl ounces) of canned pineapple Juice yields over 100 units of vitamin A. over 300 units of vitamin C. about 100 unite vitamin B, yields about 100 calorie.

Dllle Co.) and prefer getting their work ers through the unions, although the federal employment service is supposed to send men to the jobs. The wage scale was auth orized long ago by a govern ment agency and not by the unions. Thii practice of the unions, which is nation-wide on war Jobs, cantonments, etc.. Is ex pected to lead to legislation which will compel the unions to make a report of their rev enues and disbursements. Such legislative proposals are now in the works, but whether they can be enacted over the opposi tion of labor lobbyists In the national capital Is another mat ter. The one chance of such leg islation being made Into law is the effort of the treasury to re cover every dollar it can through taxation, and an income tax might reach the "take" of the unions.

C, June 19 There is such a demand for bur lap from the agricultural reg ions of the northwest that war production board has changed its policy and will permit Com modity Credit corporation to buy the frozen burlap and make it available to farmers. There is a limited amount cf burlap in the United Staates and one of the first things WPB did was to freeze it; take It out of circula tion: But WPB has not consid ered the fanners who have de pended on burlap for their crops since Hec was a pup. Sheepmen need the burlap to sack wool: wheat men who do not warehouse the grain in bulk use burlap: hop men have never used anything else. Growers of commercial potatoes have found a substitute, but use burlap whenever possible. Here are four important cash crops of the northwest, all demanding burlap. Drives have recently been started In that area to col lect used burlap bags but with Indifferent success. Action by WPB came in time to furnish the burlap for this season, e e e CONGRESSIONAL represen tatives from Washington state, in testifying before the Joint committee hearings on the Co lumbia Authority bill, suc'.i as Representatives Jackson. Coffee. Smith. Senate Bone, etc., made the point that in the original Bonneville act congress gave a mandate to the people of the northwest to go in for public power. The Bonneville act gives preference to public bodies up to SO per cent of available pow er, efli) which the a-iif'tra-tor can make coutracu for pow er with private utility com panies and persons. Represen tative Dondero of the committee inquired of W. A. Dittmer, chief of Bonneville planning and mar keting divisions, whether he re garded Bonneville and Grand Coulee as such a mandate, to which Dittmer replied that "we regard tt as being up to the peo ple". Representative Smith in terjected that "where the people haven't adopted public power Bonneville has made no effort to put public power ownership over". Representative Pierce la the only Oregon congressman to ap pear and champion the Colum bia Power Authority measure. Representative Angell, also of Oregon, is a member of the committee. Last month's defeat of PUD elections in Oregon, in view of the "mandate" stressed by the Washington members, has been brought out yet. : e e e I WHY the United States Is building the "prairie route" to Alaska, which cannot be of ser-! vice to the northwest for it would be easier to take In sup plies from Chicago than from the Pacific coast, continue to occupy the attention of a spe cial senate Investigation. Testi mony of western legislators, en gineers, the Alaska highway commission and the Internation al highway commission all was to the effect that the present project should be stopped and the long proposed route along the coast be started instead. Testimony further shows that the war department, under or ders from someone, began the prairie route without a survey. Engineers are already In trouble with the muskeg swamp, a bot tomless affair, on the prairie route. Attack by Japanese on the Aleutians is not being over looked as an argument for the coast route. COMPLAINTS continue to be received from war industries and citizens who protest against being compelled to pay a fee to Join a union before they can get a government Job, and paying duos thereafter. War department says it has nothing to do with this arrangement: that it is an understanding between the con tractor and the unions, and wajhes its hands of the whole matter, Contrai'trrs f.".y they do not want any labor trouble .
