Soon editors will show some originality and ad vise voters If In doubt to vote "no" on all of them. None of the measures have anything to do with pestering of the "power trust," or striking the shackles from Rogue river fish. "What a Man! Approximately 80 per cent of the fluid market milk In the United bUtes if pasteurised. How COULD the British parliament refuse to uphold a leader as honest and direct and fearless as Winston Churchill? Certainly in all the war-world no "chief" like "Winnie". ' Once more he stands on his two feet in parliament, faces his accusers and the world, and admitting another grave disaster, places on his own drooping, but stalwart shoulders, the entire responsibility. Again it is only "blood, sweat and tears." But with courage unabated, determination only greater, Churchill asks to retain the reins of government and the request is granted amid cheers, to the tune of a landslide vote with only 25 dissenters out of 500! A great victory, a great man, yes and a great country! The British ship of state may go down this time, though we doubt it, but the flag at the top most peak never will ! a JUST imagine any other war leader admitting dam- aging facts like these : The Axis powers In the battle of Libya had 10,000 less men than Britain. They were inferior In tanks to the tune of 5 to 7, and in artillery it was 5 to 8. Yet the British army was split In half and scattered, losing 90,000 men and tremendous war stores. Imagine Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Stalin yes even President Roosevelt taking the rap in that fashion, and with "head bloody but unbowed" com ing up for more ! It just isn't done in any other war circles and couldn't be, by any other leader. In all the world no man like this. If Rudyard Kipling were alive, WHAT an epic he would write about Winston Churchill, Prime Min ister of Great Britain in World War No. 2! It Isn 't the "Last Battle " Well the war situation doesn't look so good today. But as far as England is concerned, there is one point that should not be forgotten, two in fact. No. 1. In the world war Germany broke the British lines in France and it looked like curtains for J. Bull. But that famous "backs-to-the-wall-do-or-die" mani festo issued by Marshal Haig, stemmed the tide. Not only were the Germans turned back but only a few months later, the war was over. England's habit of winning no battles but the last one therefore might well be borne in mind. MO. 2. When Mr. Churchill was in Washington, " members of the congress were told off the record, that Rommel was in for the surprise of his life if he tried to get very far into Lgypt. According to. all reports the Congressmen were visibly cheered by the facts thus confidentially revealed. Well we grant it isn t very LIKbLY. But it may be true, that the British are falling back with a definite purpose, not because they HAVE to, but because they have a trap all ready for the Nazi "fox." It does no harm at least, to gam what cheer is possible in the surrounding gloom from a survey of the past and present record. Medford s Camp for Boys It is a refreshing diversion to turn from the war for a brief time and center attention upon the young sters of this community and their forthcoming sum mer camp opening next Tuesday, July 7th. Again, the salvation Army will conduct a camp at scenic Lake o' the Woods and two full weeks of wholesome outdoor fun will be provided for boys and girls who otherwise might miss the joys and benefits of a vacation in the mountains. The summer camp program was initiated last year by George A. Hunt and his associates with the coop eration of the Salvation Army and the Jackson County Public Welfare Commission. The same spon sors, elated by the widespread interest in the camp a year ago, are handling the project again on a bigger and better scale than before. rROM the very start the boys' and girls' summer camp idea struck a responsive chord with local citizens and financial assistance was immediately forthcoming. It is more apparent than ever this year that the camp should be a COMMUNITY program. Here we have our average quota of youngsters who would otherwise be deprived of the joy of a vacation time outing. They should have this two-weeks camp- ng treat and WILL have it, because of the generos ity of the summer camp sponsors and public spirited local people. Again, the opportunity for the public to have a part in this commendable program is provided. Those vho wish to contribute may do so, and the theatres of this city will become receiving stations for summer camp funds. IT should be emphasized here that this summer camp 1 outing is planned for boys and girls UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE, because of the urgent and imme diate need for youthful workers in Rogue River Val ley orchards and farms. THROUGH the cooperation of the Rogue River To rr n 1 Vriravt rrrri?-MTofirn VtAPA Visa onqAinna forestry camp at Lake o' the Woods has been placed at the disposal of the Salvation Army, supervisors of the summer outing. This camp, formerly occupied by CCC boys, provides dormitories, assembly and mess halls, and other typical camp accommodations, I)cal organizations and individuals have generously seen that needed equipment and boats are in readi ness for the first contingent of youngsters next lues day. I TN'DER the kindly and understanding guidance of experianced Salvation Army folk there will be swimming, boating, hiking and general camp activi- ties in the fresh and invigorating atmosphere of this i delightful summer camp. In addition to recreational j features there will be well-planned educational, patriotic and devotional activities and they all add ; up to a grand vacation for these young "campers". ' THERE have been many demands upon the family budget these days, but certainly it is not too much to ask of those who plan a vacation this summer to share some of the fun with these less fortunate but thoroughly deserving youngsters. A word to the generous should be sufficient. The more contributions received, the greater will be the, number of boys and girls at the Lake o' the Woods camp this summer. H.G. Revival of Walking Week-end experience of the Atlantic coast popula tion with gasoline rationing offers a vivid illustration of how finely the motor car is woven into the fabric of national custom. Millions of citizens have seen the automobile disappear from their daily lives except for occasional short trips. Any general attempt to return to the horse and buggy does not even suggest itself as a satisfactory substitute. Instead, the citizen whose gasoline has been curtailed is walking. The horse and buggy habit had behind it an elab orate economic equipment, including stable, boxstall, bay mow, feed box and harness. Buggies had to be washed, their spindles oiled and bolts tightened. Harness had to be cleaned, oiled and adjusted. Horses had to be shod, fed, watered, curried and bed ded down. There are millions of men today who can not put a harness on a horse and attach the critter to the shafts. Presented with a nag, they would not know how to drive him. v To them the operation of an automobile has be come all but automatic. The operation of a horse and buggy would disorder their nervous system. So east erners have reduced the number of their trips, short ened the trips and are walking. And what easterners are doing now people in all parts of the country may soon be doing, including those who prefer bikes. R.S. Personal Health Service By William Brady M.

That's the way you have to get rid of sup erfluous flesh, whether you re duce by diet ing, medicine, ductless gland feeding, exer cise walking to work, do ing your own climbing trees, playing tennis, spading garden, d I I tance running, flux or by "go ing into d e- Dr. Brady cline" (that is fanning the latent spark of tu berculosis which is in most of us into active disease. No mat ter how the reduction Is brought about the superfluous fat must be consumed by burning. We may regard all obesity or accumulation of superflous flesh, whether It be hypopitui tary, hypothyroid, or everyday nutritional obesity, as a condi tion directly due to poor com bustion, slow oxidation rate low ered metabolism, decreased ab sorption or utilization of oxy gen. The vital fire doesn't burn as briskly as It should. Deficiency of Iodine in food and water, in many regions Is one reason why the vital fire tends to smoulder. Another reason why the oxi dation process tends to slow down Is ultro-refinement of the modern diet which removes from natural food most of the vitamins. Universal shortage of vitamins manifest itself In poor metabolism. This applies espe cially to the combustion of car bohydrate material, starches and sugars In the refined or purified stale such food Is the source of most of the daily calories in the modern diet. Since refinement processes remove most of the vitamins which the body re quires for complete utilization or oxidation of carbohydrate, the unburned portion is stored as fat. For scientific Information on the role of vitamin B (thiamin) In carbohydrate metabolism I re fer the lay or medical reader to Williams and Spies' Vitamin B, and Its Use in Medicine ' (The Macmillan Co., '38 Perhaps the Public Library has It.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Pag On) cars would have to be aban doned only about 3,000,000 a year. To support such a program, the United States would have to provide 5,000 tons of crude rub ber annually and collect 48,000 tons of scrap this year; 71,200 in 1943; 67,600 in 1944; 53,000 in 1945. While the current drive is of ficially being called deficient, it shows enough scrap rubber is being obtained to run practically that whole period if the crude rubber could be spared. . POLITICAL potentialities of gas rationing are not being overlooked. Repub lican Representative Stevenson of Wisconsin wrote Rationer Leon Henderson ask ing that gas allowances be made for rural voters .to go to the polls in the east on election day. He got a letter back promising only that if Mr. Roosevelt de cides on national gas rationing, provision would be made. No allowances will be made for primaries. The rural sections of the east are generally republican, the cities generally democratic. A close election could be decided if gas rationing or any other cause kept farmers from the polls in considerable numbers. a CKITTISH citizens have been " wondering why Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill have been telling Hitler they will start a second front, if they really Intended to do it. The element of surprise has been lost, they fear. Not at all. Hitler has been able to observe the preparations in Britain, just as Holland, Bel gium and France were able to observe his preparations for the invasion that struck them as a surprise when it fell. Some things cannot be kept secret in war. Collection of hundreds of thousands of troops is one. But Hitler, you will recall, staged fake alarms and other wise confused his foes by criss crossing rumors to such an ex tent, they hardly believed the final alarm when it came. The current confusion as to whether or not there will be a second front this year is already serving a similar purpose for us. Most Washlngtonians are even now betting there will not be a second front this year. To them. certainly It will come as a sur i prise. ! ' e i'T'HE front row of officialdom i here had been expecting bad : news from Russia, but was wholly unprepared for the ex i tent of what came from Egypt. Even after the British were put into retreat, everyone agreed they enjoyed not only superior ity but supremacy In the air so no one could figure that the re treat would be disastrous or even very harmful.

KT1TII(3IS At a joint meeting held Wednesday morning, July l$t, between the representative of organized labor and the Contractors Medford Can tonment, a resolution was adopted that, for the good of the cause, Independence Day has been declared a regular work day the same as any other Saturday. All parties concerned will put on a special drive for the sale of U. S. Defense Bonds on July 4th. The men on the work will be circularized with the following "Spe cial Authority" card: "SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FOR PURCHASE OF UNITED STATES DEFENSE BONDS I hereby authorize you to deduct from my earnings for July 4, 1942 $ which is to apply on the purchase price of a United States Defense Bond with maturity value of $ Additional payments, if required, will be deducted from my earnings for week ending July 11, 1942. It is understood that the Contractors Medford Cantonment will apply an amount equal to the deduction made on July 4th for the purchase of Defense Bonds. Date Employee's Signature Division Badge No (This authorization to be given to your Division Timekeeper on or before July 6th, 1942)" The Contractors Medford Cantonment have agreed to match dollar for dollar and will purchase bonds to the total of all employees' auth orized deductions from earnings of July 4th. This will be the Con tractors' subscription to this "Special Fund". All deductions authorized by the workmen will be on a voluntary basis and nothing is being or will be done to compel any one to sub scribe who does not desire to do so. The above action taken is subscribed to jointly by the Construction and Building Trades Council, the Contractors Medford Cantonment and the Area Engineer. Let's all join in and give Uncle Sam's pocket book a big boost, help meet Jackson County's July quota of bond sales and do a good deed on Independence Day.
