Two negroes were dancing in tha chapel of Rose Neath funeral home at 1 p. m. today and burial will follow la Greenwood cemetery." If no mass transportation problem is involved it will be possible to hold some state and county fairs, come fall. Many recall the Jackson county fairs of happy years when It took all afternoon to start a stud horse race properly. Wearers of ice-cream suits wish they were electrically heat ed and viewing next winter's alleged fuel shortage with alarm. A noted cleric "descries ven geance In the peace terms." It would be Inhuman to charge the Nazi gangsters with anythina more serious than disorderly conduct on Saturday night. The "hairy vetch" of the val ley la not coming along as well as expected. In many fields it is suffering from premature Baldness. A letter writer in the metro politan press desires to bury the word "grave," as applied to the war situation on the grounds It is being overworked and getting io overtime. It sweats no more than "dynamic," as every Hum dinger is, or "contact," what happens when they run into each other. Grover Cleveland Bemdoll who as a first World war slack er, was cussed as much as Hit ler, wants a presidential pardon from an eight-year prison term he Is serving. No man of the many named after a president ever so completely besmirched an honored stod illustrious name. DEMOCRACY RAHPANTI "One of our contemporaries, a dally Journal which is dedi cated to the proposition that people should not kick other people around, and which uses the fine old word "democracy" as a sort of etymological Mother Hubbard to cover an amazing multitude of ideas and Isms, oc casionally prints a brief guide to eating places In various parts of New York. The other day. in a list of seven places, there appeared this description of a restaurant In West Forty-third street: "Man-sized portions, good food, democratic service." N. Y. Herald-Tribune). Closing time far ClsMlfM Ads a. . Too lata te t'lsssilr U.K t-v Will Hitler Rule? "To the editor As one of the first newspapers in tha state to vigorously oppose isolationism, and maintain a sane, realistic view of the war and dangers of totalitarianism aren't you devi ating from your established course by predicting what is going to happen after the war? How can you or any one else know anything about it, until you know which side is going to win? It looks to me as though you are assuming a lot and indulging in one of your favorite aversions "wish ful thinking". It seems to me the less we speculate about what is going to happen after this war, and the more we CONCENTRATE ON WINNING it the better for all con cerned. For certainly what is going to be the program after this conflict ends depends entirely upon which side wins, and from the reports I get from some of my friends in the East, a United Nations victory isn't certain by any means. My point is not that so much, however, as to chide you for falling into the error you so like to condemn, that of overconfidence, Which breeds a sense of false security and thus weakens the war effort." C. A. Jaynea, Ashland, Oregon. Well mebbe so. But we have no doubt and never have had as to the EVENTUAL outcome of World War No. 2. We have had doubts, and still have them, regard ing the TIME it may take to rid the world of Hitler ism. Rut that he. or his kind, will ever rule this lone- suffering planet, (and failure to decisively defeat the Axis would mean precisely that,) just isn't in the cards, aa we view them. IT would be against NATURE! We would in fact as soon expect to see water run nnhill. the sun rise in the west, or P. J. Neff vote the Republican ticket straight, as see this cataleptic paper-hanger and his breed, control the goings and comings or this revolving cosmos. If that adds up to overconfidence, OK we will have to plead guilty. But in our judgement it adds up to little more than sanity a rational faith, and common s-jnse. , . We TAN conceive of the allies not winning the overwhelming decisive victory that every right-thinking person prays for. But we CAN'T conceive of the allies sustaining either a decisive or in any sense a lasting defeat. SO occasional speculations regarding what should be done, when the inability of the Axis to defeat the forces of democracy and decency, has become an established FACT, appeal to this department as en tirely in order, and rendering the liklihood of a WISE, post-war adjustment, more probable, rather than less so. ... We grant it is all in the realm of conjecture. Rut n faith that organized, treachery, cruelty and evil will NEVER triumph for long in this day and age and in the present stage of human development, does NOT strike us as being an assumption that is unwar ranted or unsupporteed by the history and experiences of the past Must History Repeat Itself? Those who oppose any attempt to establish a world organization to outlaw war or those who believe it can't be done might profitably consider the alter nstiv6 For if a determined effort is NOT made at the close of this war, to put down gangster nations, just as we now put down individual gangsters WITHIN a nntinn. tViMi there will be no more REAL peace at the close of World War No. 2 than there was at the close of World War No. 1. Which was none at all. In fact history will cynically repeat itself. The fiehtine will stop; the old time-honored struggle for supremacy WONT. . , . , AND the interval between War No. 2 and No. 6 will be merely a time allowance sufficient to that re covery in strength which will persuade the losers that the time has come for revenge, and the inevitable and glorious come-back. For that is unrestrained nationalism ana numan nature. THERE are those, of course, who believe some form of international police force or force of any kind will not be necessary. Instead of that "the workers of the world will unite", regardless of creed, natural resources will be pooled and redistributed, so that there will be no privileged or underprivileged nations, no "ins" or "outs", just one big happy family, with all reasonable material desires satisfied and therefore no point in fighting to gain MORE. IfELL such a "millenium" may be the final out come. Stranger things have probably happened. But as we see it, a period of force will have to come first. In fact force undoubtedly will be just as necessary to maintain peace between nations as it is now, and always has been, to maintain peace between individ uals within a nation. Only philosophical anarchists will deny that only those who believe the human race has reached a point of development, where no laws or restrictions backed by compulsion are necessary. It seems to us the fallacy of this assumption is fairly obvious from pole to pole at the present time! But with such a force, granted greater power than any possible or probable gangster or outlaw FORCE, this column can see no good reason why wars on a large scale should not become as rare well as rare, as armed uprisings within the nations are today. And they are rare, though not unknown. So wars would become rare though not unknown. Not a heaven on earth, but certainly a vast improve ment over the "status quo" and the "status quo ante !"

VITE AND NUTRITION Vite means preservation of the characteristics of youth, bet ter-than-average nutritional con dition as man ifested in low er d e a t h rates better growth and develop ment, exten sion of the prime of life in both direc tions, material i m p r o v ment of the life expecta tion of adults. higher aver- positive health cycle, greater the highest 0 Dr. Brady age level of thruout the life pep, more vitality, degree of natural immunity, an adequate degree of natural Jm munity, an adequate fund of re serve power to tide over emer gencies and strains of resilency oi tne untamed animal or the primitive savage. Altho insufficient daily Intake oi vitamin u complex is re sponsible for this lack of "tone" or vite in most instances, in my opinion, still it is certain that other nutritional deficiencies contribute to the below-par state or functional weakness In some Instances, notably calcium deficiency in childhood and early youth, and iron deficiency in the third and fourth decades. It should be obvious, therefore, that it may be necessary to cor rect these other nutritional defi ciencies, as well as the B com plex deficiency, in order to build or store vite in such cases. In fact I believe some vitamin D (essential for normal calcium metabolism) is nearly always needed to supplement the diet of the child and youth, especially through the fall, winter and spring seasons and even through the summer if the child or youth for any reason does not enjoy regular exposure of naked body to sunlight. Theoretically the general nu tritional deficiency of the Amer ican people might be prevented, if not as readily cured, if the people Included in their daily diet more liberal amounts or proportions of the "protective" foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits foods called "protective" be cause they contain considerable amounts of the vitamins and minerals required to correct the shortage in the ordinary refined diet. But practically this solu tion of the problem Is not so good as it may sound when re cited by the self-constituted diet or health authority who sounds off about the "vitamin craze". Referring to his Prof. Geo. R. Cowgill of Yale, In a report to the Council on Foods of the American Medical Association (J. A. M. A. Dec. S, '39) said that in order to secure the 950 inter national units of -vitamin B. which has been lost during the past century as a result of re finement in milling wheat, one would be forced to consume tre mendous and Impossible quan tities of . these particular "pro tective foods", and cites the estimates made by Prof. Norman Jolliffee that one would have; to consume a daily combination! of 625 Gm. of fruit, 600 Cm. of , potatoes, 880 Gm. of other vege tables and 1,260 cc. of milk. (A pound is equivalent to about 4S3 Gm and a pint is equivalent to about 473 cc.) Jointly sponsored, directing Sec retary of war Stun son to com pensate the stockmen for loss of their grazing rights. e, e THE only way to keep war in dustry workers getting to and from their jobs is to take over all non-essential tires. This statement is made by a member of the rubber division of war production board and is con strued as a warning that the gov ernment will be confiscating, for a price, all tires regarded as not essential to war effort. Reports from the northwest Indicate that the transportation problem is daily becoming more serious and that provision must be made to take care of the workers, and that present employment will be largely expanded under new war orders. questions answers Soto Vonr Eyes I m IS, do factory, assembly work for which I must use my eyes a lot How can I avoid eyestrain (W.

If in any doubt about your eyes have eye examination by physician and wear whatever glasses or goggles the phy sician recommends, at least while at Jrk. Smoking Would constant cigarette smoking affect a child four years old? She seems extremely nervous. We live In small apartment, and her father smokes cigarettes constantly and the smoke filled atmosphere Is not much cleared by ventilation. (Mrs. R- T. E.) Answer Effect is the same as tho the child herself smoked some. By exercise of a little ingenuity It should be possible to get enough ventilation (thru window snd door) to carry the smoke out of the room. This time of year the child or the smoker should be In the open air much of the time anyway. Garlic and Parsley Will you kindly have Dr. Wm. Brady state his opinion of the use of sarllc and parsley for High Blood Pressure. It has been recommended to me by different Doctors. (O. M.) Answer Fortunstely we caugnt the evaslv Doctor lust as he was sneaking out the back way to the bowling green. He seemed Inclined to feel a bit frustrated about It. Then he patted us on the shoulder. "Son." he said. In the gentle, fatherly way. If you have a powerful Imagination. Son, It Is absurd for nign oioou pressure la only a manifestation oi one disease condition or another, and you can't do anything about it un less you determine what alls the pat lent and apply whatever remedy the condition requires." With that he delivered a playful k. I. t. p. and hied i himself off to his game. (Copyright 1934, John P. Dills Co.)

C War Compensation Ha Many Angle Bombing Practice Dislodges Cattle Tire Confiscation Seen In Offing Br John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, June 28 W) Captured by Japanese are scores of residents of Idaho, Oregon and ashington; - they belong in dozens of towns from Grants Pass to Boise. Little is known of their fate, but they have dependents and it is the dependents who are under con sideration by congress. These men in the hands of the Japa nest were laborers on govern, ment projects on WaVe and Guam islands, but they were on the payroll of private contract or. This Is one angle of several dealing with the problem of what the federal government should do to assist civilians who are Injured or have property damage during the war. For weeks tile subject has been un der discussion one group will ing to do anything to aid the civilians and the other endeav oring to cut down all expenses. Broadly speaking, the propos al is to pay from $30 to $80 a month to civilians who have re ceived one-third disability and the disability is permanent: to pay compensation to dependents held by the enemy overseas ( a tors. War department has taken will make an estimate of the civilians who would be injured in this country if token bombs are dropped. With not even a hazy guess as to the number any appropriation would be a guess. But, it is observed, if more money is required because of un expected casualties congress can be asked for another ap propriation. For the dependents of labor ers who are prisoners of war , the proposal is to pay 68.3 per cent of their compensation at the time of capture, but not in ex cess of $118. There is less oppo sition to helping the depend ents than extending compensa tion to air raid wardens and plain civilians. Injuries sustained in practice blackouts is another point of con troversy. In almost every black out in the northwest there has been someone Injured more or less and in California several individuals have died of fright. Hot disagreement has arisen as to whether an injury in a prac tice Dlackout can be blamed on the government. As for air war dens and other in civilian de fense who might be injured in a blackout, the argument still rages. The one-third disability is in tended to classify the injury as serious, and a sprained ankle or cut hand cannot qualify. Pay ments would be made for a per iod not exceeding five years after the war. Considering that the Pacific northwest is in a target area, the legislation is of particular interest to residents of that region. SHEEPMEN and cattlemen with permits or licenses to graze their stock in national foreests or public domain are being shoved around by army air force and are appealing to their sen- (this includes Alaska as well as Wake and Guam; to remuner ate merchant sailors, such as are injured if a submarine tor pedoes their ship. All agree that this is a new venture fos the United States and there is little to guide the way, with the ex ception of the experience of the British. Since the war started. September. 13. civilian losses in England have been 100.000, about evenly divided between over many square miles of graz ing land in Oregon, W ashington, Idaho and Nevada and is using the p-iblic domain as a range for practice bombing. When war de partment wants a firing range it walks in and takes it and, if possible, the stockmen who are ordered out are told not to men tion the target, "military infor mation," etc. Senators from states where war department has established these bombing killed and wounded.
