Tha June brides ara getting some competition these days In the photographer's display cases. The ratio Is about two pictures of officers in uniform for every bride. Now and then a lieuten ant shows up who has been caught by both war and romance. Tha layman hereabouts Is somewhat befuddled by the cur rent Columbia Valley Authority hydroelectric power issue now raging upstate. It appears to be a petition for a hearing, on a hearing, for a hearing. Ordinarily, at this time of the year, plans for the celebration of the Fourth of July were pre pared, with hopeful editors earnestly admonishing gasoline daredevils to be aliva on the Fifth. Harry L. Hopkins, assistant to the President and White House guest, in a speech Mon day, gave Americans something they can get their teeth in and like It. He advocates, if the Italian people do not hang Sig nor Mussolini themselves, the smart-sleek be turned over to the tender mercies of the King of Ethiopia. He preaches inter national neck-wringing Instead of international brotherhood. UNREPENTANT SINNER (Salisbury (N. C.) Post) "Say In tha paper that the John T. Simpson who lives at 901 North Main street WAS tha man who was in county court today in a charge of be ing drunk and disorderly, and that I enjoyed It Immensely." The British demand an "In quest" to determine the whyfore of tha fall of Tobruk, the same for Egypt, mayhap the fall of Alexandria, like Hong Kong and Singapore. It seems the Nazi commander thought faster than Lord Pancake-Pancake Hotrake, grandson of the Duke of Flap jack, whose mother is the socially prominent Lady Waffle. The First Lady reports she Is receiving letters from lovelorn soldiers wanting to know if they should get married. She always replies people should know each other a considerable time before they wed. This is a non-partisan answer that eliminates strangers. The bride should also be able to cook and not vote the republican ticket. The general thaw of the first of the week has subsided and soma pear orchardists now fear they brought in their smudge pots too soon. Consumer services are now under a price celling and in cludes household repairs, such as fixing the roof without wait ing for a rain to determine if needed. If a house holder buys the shlnsles and hires a man to do the lob, it is explained, the roof would not come undrr the celling, thus avoiding bum car pentry. C. Wig Ashpole has returned from Idaho to find the usual shortage of hnyhands to pitch tha usual shortage of hay. "BABY BORN ON SAME DAY AS GRANDFATHER." (Pittsfield (Mass.) Eagle Neat trick. Closing time for Claesifled Ada s. in. Too lata to Claaeltj 13 10 p. n. A Lie Is Nailed Truth crushed to earth shall rise again; Tha eternal year of God ara her s; But error wounded writhes In pain, And dies among his worshippers. As our long Buffering "public" will agree, the above has long been a favorite quotation with this department But now and then truth is not crushed, nor error wounded, in fact error instead of writhing in pain, suddenly bursts into bloom and spreads like a wild fire if the mixed metaphor may be pardoned. And for nearly two weeks now it has been thus performing hereabouts until the time has come to scotch it. THE "error" has taken various forms but by phone, mail and word of mouth here is the most frequent form : "What does tha Mall Tribune mean by telling the people that because ef the II. S. victory at Midway the danger of Japanese bombing attacks here no longer exists?" As has been previously remarked, we don't mind being criticized for what we DO say, we don't par ticularly like being criticized for what we DON'T I A ND we not only made no such statement as that " query ASSUMES, but the statement we did make was the exact REVERSE. As the record will show, what we did say at the time of the Midway victory, and what we have re peated since, was to this effect: "As a result of the Midway or the pacific coast Is far less likely, ING ATTACK, to save face, far MORE i And instead of suggesting the local plane spotting forces be reduced we suggested the exact reverse that they be kept on the job because their aid and vigilance with bombing attacks more probable, would naturally be needed more ITSUALLY we don't pay any attention to "errors" of this sort, criticisms which are completely un warranted and unjust just plain unadulterated falsehoods they are far But for some strange reason this particular canard has not only grown by what it fed on, but has been given-a boost in certain better, until the time has can where it belongs. We trust that necessary been accomplished. Can There Be No Peace? Every now and then our favorite news commenta tor Paul Mallon, abandons intelligent interpretation of lies forth into the realm of This is OK by us if it ISN T overdone. But to date we have seldom been able to follow Paul to his con clusions on such excursions. The most recent effort is PAUL, on June 21st for example devoted his column rum cij iw aiioYTi mg a tci vain i uvaic uuuu xv. Holloman", who presumably favors a "union of dem ocracies after the war, completly disarmed and ruled by an international police force" as the best method of establishing permanent or approximately perma ment world peace.

But in our judgment lVTa 1 taarit (vitra tVia vanonmm WHY if non'l uciuvu uw-oa. a wt For the Mallon objections "old stuff" based upon exists or will no longer exist, when this war is over. And that is the world of SUPERNATIONALISM, of racial greed, privilege supported by past conquests, or the presumed power of such conquests. MOT that there will be any sudden miracle per- ' formed, or that as Mallon phrases it, the "choice will be between Utopias"; but because the destruction of this conflict will be so incredibly widespread and so devastating, that the genus homo regardless of race creed or color will rise on its assembled hind legs and make a solemn vow that occur again I And that vow will be any idealistic effort to make "a heaven on earth" but a very practical determination to save the human race from self-destruction, supported by what has always been and still is the strongest single human instinct the instinct of SELr -rKLSEKVATION. a a a a IT CAN'T be done? Well to repeat. TERHAPS it cant But WHY can't it be done by NATIONS, as it has been done since the civilized world began, by indi viduals? For after all nations are merely accumula tions of individuals. "UR answer is it CAN be. It can be and will be just as soon as the nations of the world are willing to PAY THE PRICE. And that price will not differ in any ESSENTIAL, from the price the rugged individuals within this na tion or any other so willingly pay today. The great obstacle in the past has been placing the welfare of the nation above the welfare of the world. This obstacle can be overcome just as within the nations, placing the welfare of the individual above the welfare of the community, has been overcome. And our prediction is this WILL BE DONE not on the grounds of any dreamy idealism or wishful thinking, but on the very practical and fundamental grounds of national self-interest and self-preservation! victory a Japanese INVASION .ESS likely, a Japanese BOMB- so. now than ever before. better ignored. quarters that should know come to put it in the ash "DISPOSAL has now his main job, which is the spot-news, and sal editorahzing. no exception. ilocviio 111 b van In are all as we see them a world that no longer of traditional imperialism. it must not and will NO r supported not so much by Personal Health Service By William aigaee ltun aerUialag t aeneaal feaallh and kyfttaa, doc to aliim auinaal- at tnetsMat, artll be uneN t Or.

William Brad;, BU El Caralao, Beterlt aula, Calif. THERE IB Can you name a doctor in our community who would follow your treatment in case a person should be bit ten by a dog that has ra bies? You tell us what you would do if you were bit ten by a dog presumed t o be rabid, yet when some one wrote for ad vice you re plied that you Dr. Brady absolutely re fused to answer or give ad vice, whether the request came by letter, telegraph or tele phone, in any case of dogbite. Are you afraid, then that your treatment would fail? Is there not a law compelling the bitten person to submit to the Pasteur treatment if the animal Is sus pected of having rabies? CM. M. B.) From all of the authentic medical records I have been able to find, bearing on the question of rabies in man, I con clude that the occurrence of rabies in man Is so questionable, and the potentiality for harm in anti-rabies "vaccine" or virus is so great, that I would not sub mit to the so-called Pasteur treatment in any conceivable cir cumstance, nor would I adminis ter it to any one on my own responsibility. Honestly, I don't know Just what I would do if little Bill or little Patsy (my grand-children who have my number I'm ol' fuss budget when I haven't time to stop and draw pictures or tell Indian sto ries for them) I don t know what I would do if one of them were scratched, clawed or bitten by an animal presumed to be rabid. Its always better for a doctor to transfer to an outside physician whose sympathies are less likely to bias his sound Judgment, the responsibility for treatment of a member of his own family. But in this instance I believe I'd say NO. There is no law compelling any one to take any treatment. At this moment I could not name a physician anywhere who would follow the procedure I would follow In case of a wound by an animal suspected of being rabid. No doubt many physicians share my belief, but I can't name them. I strongly suspect that tetanus News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Peg One) over retail inventories are in the offing. ILffR. Roosevelt must have a " bigger mouse trap, because the statesmen of the world are certainly beating a path to the White House door Churchill, Molotoff, Queen Wllhelmina, King Peter, King George II, all risking their lives to cross the ocean within the past two weeks. Here earlier were T. V. Soong, the Chinese foreign min ister, the Australian Foreign Minister Evatt (now visiting home), Prime Minister of Poland in Exile Sirorsky, and even Princess Martha of Norway. The official story Is that most of these came because they wanted something mostly positions. In allied councils or lend-lease cases. Any possibility that they have been talking post war problems or signing any thing with Mr. Roosevelt along that line has been thoroughly denied. a e 1UEW YORK new dealers in the government are talking of getting the American labor party, the young democrats and the Willkia republicans Into a convention about a week before the coming gubernatorial con ventions. They want to throw down to both the democrats and republicans a threat against the nominations of either Ben nett or Dewey, whom they con sider to be "isolationists." If these two are to be the democratic and republican can didates they want to nominate an independent or plump for Dewey in order to wreck the democratic machine. "THE Japs are viciously hold- tng us back on shipment of food, chocolate and cigarettes to our imprisoned soldiers who fought the battle of Bataan and the Philippines. The San Francisco-Press dub Is undertaking leadership for collections, but their movement cannot accomplish its purpose until the Japs allow some neu tral Swiss in Manila to take Brady. M. D. NO LAW (lock-jaw) is the serious or fatal illness that sometimes follows a wound inflicted by an animal or fowl. Thereforel believe the first aid treatment of any puncture, scratch, abrasion or wound by teeth, claws be not only imme diate desinfection (not cauteri zation) of the wound by a phy Ion (not Just emergency treat ment by the layman) but also Immediate injection of a prophy lactic dose of tetanus antitoxin and a second such dose five days to seven days later. Domestic and wild animals fowls or birds commonly harbor tetanus (lock jaw) germs in the intestinal tract and hence the ground, and their teeth, beaks, claws may carry tetanus germs into the wound or scratch. Aside from this, I'd leave the surgical first aid and after-care of any such wound to the sur geon and rest assured I could have no better treatment.

Beverly Rllla, Calif. charge of distribution. The International Red Cross in Geneva and the American Red Cross have been working through the Japs to find some such neutral, but without suc cess. The Swedish lined Gripsholm Is now taking some material along with Jap diplomats to Tokyo, and this aid will be dis tributed to our prisoners at Shanghai, Hongkong and in Japan. The Gripsholm has aboard 20,000 packages of food, $50, 000 of Red Cross medical sup plies, a million cigarettes and 10,000 tins of smoking tobacco. None of this will go to the Philippines until the missing Swiss is found there. The Japs will regret their procrastination In this matter before this war is over.

No More Bananas Home Electric Gadgets Taboo By Joka W. Keltr Washington, D. C, June 24. Beginning in about six months the war wiU be felt in the diet, habits and the home life of every family in the Pacific northwest. The people will have more money per capita than ever before but they will have less of the stuff that goes to keep body and soul together, less of the so-called comforts and conveniences. Here is the way the pressure of war will creep up: By December the armed forces of the United States will be doubled. It is planned to have 7,000,000 under arms and more next year. Upkeep of the armed forces will deprive the civilian population of things to eat, wear and the so-called lux uries. The army comes first, always. To feed the army will make heavy inroads on canned goods and dehydrated vege tables, fruit and meat, both fresh and canned. More than twice the present food bought by the quartermaster will be needed, not alone in the coming six months but throughout 1943 as the army expands. . The army (seven per cent of the population) will take all of the domestic wool and all that can be Imported for uniforms, overcouts, blankets. This will result in suits for civilians of other materials, something else than wool for lumbermen's Jackets. Winter climate of the northwest is reasonably mild, but wool suits and overcoats have been a staple. For sum mer uniforms and uniforms in the tropics (Johnny Doughboy Is in all the zones from equatorial to arctic) require cotton twill; cotton is needed for tents and for explosives (one bale of cotton- is part of every shot from a 16-inch gun.) The surplus cotton which has been a problem In the south is disappearing and every textile mill is operating 24 hours a day. Cotton goods will be harder to get. War pro duction board has issued orders to hold all leather suitable for army shoes. Only the lighter weights will be available for ci vilians. NOT one banana will be on the market for the duration. Owing to ship shortage Lewis Douglas, formerly budget direc tor until he protested against the mounting public debt and now In charge of cargo space, Is refusing space on vessels from South America for anything not needed by the army. It Is Douglas who will try to bring in meat from the Latin Ameri cas, leather, wool and coffee. The nation is heading for a shortage of coffee and what Is imported will be for the armed forces. Douglas is not keen about using space to bring sugar from Cuba. e MANUFACTURE o? durable goods, guch as refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, radios, type writers, lawnmowers, etc., has been halted. When stocks on hand are exhausted no more will be obtainable; nothing to replace them until a happier day In the future. The public already is aware of the automo bile and tire situation. There will be no rationing of durable goods, they will simply pass from the scene. As shortages develop in the food line ration ing will be imposed, for the gov ernment will endeavor to spread scarce commodities as widely as possible. There will be a fuel shortage In the northwest to add to the complexities of war. Oil, saw dust, coal, cordwood will be dif ficult to obtain; householders will keep temperatures down, will be sparing of hot water. And it may be added insecti cides will be "out" a break for the bugs but a despair to the housewife. e o IT Is now apparently settled that many men with dependents who believed they were im mune from bearing arms will be In uniform.

It adds up that the effects of war will begin to press down upon tha civilian population in a matter of months; food, clothing and tha comfortable but un necessary things. a RECLAMATION Commis sioner John Page says that, roughly, the cost of Grand Coulee has been placed at S104, 000,000 for irrigation and S73, 000,000 for power, but the al location has not been made and is subject to change. The total amount to shoot at Is, he says. $438,000,000. There must be power revenue to develop irrigation, for it can not pay its own way, said Mr. Page. There Is no place in the world, that he knows of, where power will be cheaper than at Coulee and he adds that energy can be produced at about $8.50 per kilowatt year. Bonneville rate is fixed at $17.50. Page says Coulee power can be sold at the Bonneville rate and make good money. Communications UNITY OF LOCAL ACTION URGED To the editor:' Questions are frequent indi cating belief by the questioner that various policies or activi ties are in effect or contem plated here in particular refer ence to the relation of this camp to the nearby communities. I wish to assure you that the only basic policy intended is that of the fullest and friendliest cooperation with all agencies in furtherance of the war effort. Of course this includes such re lated matters as the welfare and recreation of soldiers and the accommodations and contacts of personnel pertaining to the mili tary establishment with those of the civilian communities. It is my idea that the only measure of accomplishment on the part of any one is the serv ice rendered, and that we can all spend our time most advant ageously to that end by being for action which will accom plish the desirea result rather than against this or that to which we may object. So far as I know, no expres sion of opinion has eminated from this headquarters indicat ing a preference that any par ticular civilian activity should be managed or controlled by any particular agency. Certain ly no such expression has been authorized. It is suggested that the com mon interest of winning the war may be furthered through the medium of your paper in con nection with the above In order that a better understanding by your readers may be had with the desires and purposes of this camp. In no sense is It intended to interfere with or meddle in the responsibilities resting upon civilian communities in these times. I desire and intend solely to be cooperative and helpful in best solving our mutual prob lems. Owen R. Meredith, Colonel, Infantry, Commanding Camp White. June 24, 1942. E New York, June 24. UP) An axis propaganda campaign, either preparing advance ex cuses for a Japanese attack on Russia or signifying ardent Ger man desires for such an attack, was launched today on the Ger man radio. The Tokyo newspapers Asahi and Hochl were quoted at length as saying that Britain and the United States were fomenting a Russian attack on Japan, that this was a main purpose of Prime Minister Churchill's visit to the United States, and that Churchill soon would go to Mos cow to put the proposition up to Premier Stalin.
