Prompt execution of the Nazi
pies and saboteurs, captured by
the FBI after they had slinked
ashore from U-boats, prepared
with cash and plans, for exten
sive hell raising is favored.
They should be tried by a
military court. Then there Is
no danger of a sentimental Jury
finding them guilty of trespass
ing with recommendations the
fine be suspended pending future
good behavior. All were once in
the American "melting pot" but
failed to melt.
A number of autos around
here have been washed and pol
ished until they look like new,
or they are new.
Summer has came. So far no
body has been bit by a rattle
snake or electric fan. Old Sol
is putting sugar in the pears
without consulting the rationing
board. Soldiers of democracy
are battling In the desert heat of
Egypt. This year there is no
radio broadcast every Wednes
day evening from "Little Ameri
ca" if a Polar blizzard did not
blow the antennae down.
Many will "relax from war
efforts" over the week-end by
climbing a mountain. It is not
known what they will do to re
lax from the mountain climbing.

ROMANTIC ITEM
(Hamilton (Tex.) Herald)
"Miss Charlene Chandler of
the draft board office is about
to recover from the left hand
edness she was stricken with
recently, after having received
a new ring from a West Texas
soil conservation engineer."
News from Egypt Indicates
Alexandria is about to go the
way of Hong Kong and Singa
pore, before the rush of Axis
forces, plus the probable de
struction of the Su-z canal by
the British forces. It is a fami
liar and disheartening story and
bitter pills for all the United
Nations. It is about time some
of tha millions of British sol
diers mobilized In England,
patiently awaiting a German in
vasion threat, that may never
come, be shifted to vital zones
that crumble pathetically for
lack of adequate troops. The
allies of Britain are entitled to
a better run for their money,
equipment and man-power.

ning in sun-suits. They are
viewed with alnrm alike by
speed-idiots and boy bicyclists,

Some politics are brewing up
state with a candidate for high
office making a bid for the
"church vote." A much better
bloc is the "sinner vote," If they

on election day to vote.
MEAN NORTH WIND
The north wind still blew Sat
urday afternoon and It irritated
me exceedingly. I went out to
help Evelyn who was arranging
the furniture in the last one of
the apartments. In a short time
it was agreed that I could help
her most by leaving, so I went
down to the News office to Jump
the editor about a paragraph
that he had deleted from my
column the day before. Evi
dently the north wind had irri
tated him too for I did not have
the slightest difficulty In start
ing an argument. (Hill Minch

Come On Medford--Do it Now!
Business as usual is out
But essential business isn't. In fact the successful
operation of ESSENTIAL business, in this part of
the country and every other, is vital to any successful
war effort.
HPHE essential business in this community is fruit.
As it prospers, so the community prospers. It is
the cornerstone of our material welfare and security.
If the 1942 fruit crop should fail, the war effort of
Southern Oregon would fail This must not be allow
ed to happen.
But it WILL happen unless preparations are made,
and made NOW, to see that the fruit crop which
in four or five weeks will be ready for the market, is
PICKED and packed.
IT can't be picked and packed by the usual local or
migratory labor. Because of the extraordinary labor
demand due to cantonment construction and other
war work, there is no such labor available.
Therefore it can only be picked, packed and made
ready for market by the people of this community,
particularly the YOUNG PEOPLE.
Yes, here is the opportunity for a war service just
as important, in the final analysis, to this community's
effectiveness in the war, as the services of those who
have been called to the front. For the failure of this
crop, would mean the failure of this district's essen
tial business, and its consequent inability to do its
part in support OF thatwar
S 0-0-0,

Yes. a large share of the work must be done by
young people.
But under tne wage and iiour aci, cnna woiKers
under 18 years of age are required to obtain a parents'
or guardian's permit, supported by a proper birth
certificate, or doctor's affidavit, before they can be
given employment. School records are not enough.
The fact of birth and age MUST be legally estab
lished. "THIS requires time.
And in this crisis time is of the essence.
For this fruit, needless to say, must be picked at a
oorfain Hne Tt ia nprishahle. and the Drotier fineness
for picking, doesn't last. So
ready the DAY the fruit is, tne entire eiion win De in
vain. One might as well be a year late, as a week.
THEREFORE the time for all able-bodied young
people from 14 to 18 years of age, who would like
not only to earn good money, during this summer
vacation, but render a genuine patriotic service to
this community and country,
To call at the employment office at the Hotel
Holland, and sign up for this work is NOW!
Applications can be secured there, at the comer of
6th and Fir, and all information also.
CRUIT growers and packers have assured intelli-
gent and competent supervision of all children
thus employed. Not only will this be healthful and
profitable work for them, but it will be rendering an
INVALUABLE service.

Another Wellington Needed
The testimony given in the British parliament to
day, supporting the Churchill government, only deep
ens the mystery of the Libyan debacle.
According to Churchill spokesmen in both Lords
and Commons, the British forces were not outnum
bered. No less an authority than Lord Beaverbrook
maintained that in tanks and guns, the British were
as well or BETTER equipped than the Germans and
Italians put together.
Yet with equal numbers and even superior equip
ment, the British desert army was split asunder,
1'obmck fell, and Marshal Rommel, according to the
latest reports is within less than 100 miles of Alex
andria and still advancing!
How come?
THERE is only one possible answer as we see it,
only one that is if the government spokesmen are
tolling the British people the truth, and we have no
doubt they are.
That is, faulty generalship!
Or to express it in a different way, INFERIOR
generalship.
VES, by a process of elimination that is the only
1 POSSIBLE explanation. For if with no greater
man power, no better equipment, no apparent advan
tages in terrain or weather or the "breaks", this
"desert fox" Rommel, did give the British army a
terrific lacing, which he obviously DID.
The decisive factor must have been LEADERSHIP,
not the way the soldiers fought but the way they
were directed.
It looks very much as though the crying need in
Europe today from the standpoint of England is
another Wellington!

NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY AND THE NAILS
Frequent application of lurid
nail polish Injures the nails just
as application of the same sol
vent (whether colored or not)
would Injure the skin or hair
b y dissolving
out some of
the natural oil
and perhaps
some of the
vital material
cystine, a sul
fur .compound
which enters
into the for
mation of the
nails.
But It Is not
so much this
Dr. Brady abuse of the
nails as it is nutritional defi
ciency that causes the nails to
become brittle, ridged, pitted or
cracked. The deficiency may of
course be insufficient intake or
failure to assimilate or utilize
a single element or item such
as cystine.
Cystine is an amlno-acid pres
ent in nearly all natural foods
whether of animal or vegetable
source. Wheat, barley, oats,
beef, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and
most common vegetables contain
plenty of cystine and other ami-no-acids
required by the body
for good nutrition. Probably it
is a question rather of some
fault in the assimilation of cys
tine that explains this trouble
with the nails. Other amino
acids likewise present in most
protein (nitrogenous) foods both
animal and vegetable, enter into
the formation of keratin which
composes a large part of the
structure of nails, hair, wool,
feathers. There is some reason
to believe that the same nutri
tional deficiency that accounts
for this condition of the nails
may be a facor of gastric ulcer
or of chronic arthritis in some
cases.
In hypothyroidism or latent
myxedema the rate of growth
of hair and nails is slowed and
the nails become brittle and
thick. Best prophylactic I can
suggest for this Is the Iodin
Ration, a suitable daily or week
ly ration of iodine or Iodide in
one form or another a drop of
mild tincture of iodine a week
is ample.
In chronic tetany or hypo
parathyroidism (functional in
sufficiency of parathyroid gland)
the hair becomes coarse in tex
ture, .lost in patches or almost
completely in some cases, the
skin roughened and thickened,
the nails brittle, ridged and
sometimes shed. This is due to
fault in the metabolism (assimi
lation and utilization and reten
tion) of calcium, and as we

A Plan To Stop War
To the editor: Instead of de
stroying the armaments that are
left after the war, use them and
man them by an international
man power to be donated by
all nations as per their popu
lation, ach nation to pay Its
share of support according to
abilities to pay. This set-up
should consist of a managing
board, a world court to have
Jurisdiction over all interna
tional affairs. The seas and
navigable waters, such as bays,
rivers, canals, etc., should be
International. Countries that
have made developments such
as canals, etc., should be paid
for their developments at a fair
appraised price or should get
credit for their share of support
of the international set-up.
There should be a completely
new set up. There should be an

Br John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, July 1.
Flying hospitals are now being
built for the army air force and
the war department will have
scores of these to evacuate casu
alties from the battlefield, from
Alaska of wherever, to the
nearest station where the In
jured will receive the best of
care. The nazis have moved
200,000 wounded troopers in
this manner. The flight sur
geons (five have been killed and
six are missing, either dead or
injured, since Pearl Harbor)
under the latest and greatest of
all time appropriation bills will
receive 50 per cent additional
flight pay, the same as every
other officer. The flying hos
pital will be able to carry in
jured 1,000 or 2,000 miles to a
safe place In a matter of hours.
In a big way the war depart
ment will be provided with car
go planes. By the end of this
year the government will have
a vast flotilla to transport troops
or cargo. In addition to the
planes built for the government
there are the commercial planes
which have been taken over.
The entire number runs into the
thousands. Germany uses 16
per cent of all its planes for
transporting cargo.
There is at the moment a plan
to build 900 stainless steel cargo
planes in an assembly plant near
Philadelphia which will employ
1.500 people and cost $12,000,
000. These cargo carriers are
to be commercial and then, to
gether with the army air freight
ers, lorecast a new means of
transportation after the war.
The truck lines of the entire
country will be affected. Cargo
planes will ignore state barriers,
such as trucks have contended
with in. Oregon, for they will
fly across state lines and landing
fields now available at small
hamlets as well as large cities.
thanks to the war department, i
will be places for loading and

ARMY and navy officers have
appeared before the appropria
tions committee and suggested
that congress take some action
on the 22 states which have a
sales tax. Missouri figures, for
example, that it will make a
cleanup of about $19,000,000
this year by tapping war pur
chases. California, which has
received more war contracts
army and navy than any other
state, has a sales tax and wishes
to impose this on materials be
ing used to defend that state
against the Japanese. The states
do not make the federal govern
ment pay they apply the tax
to the contractor who buys the
materials used in a government
contract and this tax is reflected
In the cost to the government.
The suggestion to the committee
is that congress pass legislation
exempting government materi
als from the sates tax and, if
necessary, subsidize the states.
In congress some of the senators
from sales tax states are declar
ing that any action trying to
interfere with the tax would be
an invasion of states rights.
Washington and Idaho have a
sales tax; Oregon has none.

ADVOCATES of a road to
Alaska do not intend letting
someone "get away" with the
prairie route now being built.
Delegate Anthony Dimond has
introduced a bill for another
road along the route desired by
Alaskans and the people of the
Pacific northwest, one which Is,
essentially, an extension of the
Pacific highway.
The road now under construc
tion by the army engineers will
serve a couple of air fields in
Canada and any supplies mov
ing over it would come from
Chicago. Alaska and the north
west are demanding a highway
which will be available to Ore
gon and Washington. An army
officer says "we are not inter
ested in tourist travel," and in
sists the prairies route is the
one to build. There are eastern
congressmen who say there is
something "peculiar" about the
prairie route.
