Oregonlans turned In 18.73

have been made had some way
been found to utilize those who
"turn to rubber."
It is now proposed the United
Nations, as a way to relieve the
pressure on Russia turn loose
their air might on Germany
and stay with it until the stamp
ing ground of Hitler all looks
like Cologne. The backers of
the plan propose two-thirds of
the bomber output of America
be sent to Britain for this pur
pose instead "of all over the
world in driblets." It is further
claimed, all that is needed Is
"a decision from the highest
authority" to unleash the fury.
This would be ruthlessness a
thing the Nazis love to cheer
when showered on the other fel

NO THICK AT ALL

A Georgia father la charged

AT THE BRIDGE PARTY
"The dish finally went to an
old bridge warrior wearinc a
knit suit and a gardenia. The
hostess then served some fancv
little pastry doo-dads which I
found, for all their hlih-toned
getup, had a bakers bread foun
dation. The bread had been cut
in shapes of stars and moons
and flowers and then decorated,
each according to what it repre
sented. "Helping myself to three
moons and two stars, I saw the
svelte young matron at my left
take only one flower. As she
saw my own grnerous drawing
on the firmament, she eyed my
waistline with a "no wonder!"
look. I looked at her one flower
and skinny collarbones and
answered in kind." (Olive

The Axis
With the Germans marching on Rostov, and shelling
Stalingrad this must seem a particularly inappropri
ate time to talk about what must be done when vic
tory is won.
Far better it would seem to save energy and breath
regarding such purely academic matters, and concen
trate every thought and force upon winning the
victory FIRST.
However after nearly a year's silence Secretary of
State Hull broadcast last night to this country and
the world, what the United Nations should do when
the Axis has been crushed, and democracy is again
triumphant.
Such speculation perhaps does no harm, but it
certainly does no good. .We would suggest post-war
blue prints be filed away for the time being, say
until the nature of the postwar picture can at least
be more than GUESSED at! .
a a a
THE other portion of Secretary Hull's broadcast,
however, was timely and important; namely, the
appeal to neutral nations and particularly to the re
bellious minorities in the conquered nations.
Here is a definite weakness in the Axis set-up
which, we think, the allies have been slow to recog
nize and adequately exploit, namely :
Internal dissension within the totalitarian set-up,
extending from the North Cape to Greece, and from
Shanghai to the Polish Corridor.
VES there are Germans now living in Germany who
have no more use for Hitler than has Anthony
Eden, and there are Italians in Italy who feel the
same way about Mussolini. There is not the same
absence of unity in Japan, but even there, one could
find Japanese "reds" and
throw off the military dictatorship, in Tokyo, as their
yellow brothers the other side of the Yellow &ea.
IX7HAT exists within the Axis states however is
' nothing compared to what is seething .within the
conquered nations, France, Czechoslovakia, Jugo
slavia, Poland, Greece, etc., etc. Here are literally
millions, writhing under the cruel tyranny of merci
less war lords, only awaiting an opportunity to strike,
even though it might mean certain death. It is not
death they fear, if only assured, that by dying their
efforts would not be wasted but really CONTRIB
UTE something to ultimate Axis defeat.
As Secretary Hull said :
"There is no surer way for men and nations to show
themselves worthy of liberty than to fight for its preserva
tion IN ANY WAY that is open to them, against those who
would destroy it all."
"Any way that is open to them," and those who
do will have American aid and help.
THE obstacles are many,
munition difficult, but
assistance from the United
and practical way, stimulate inner revolt in all the
Axis states, at a time when assistance from that
quarter might be of tremendous benefit.
Digest Appraises the Radio
Radio advertising is given a good natured but
incisive appraisal in the lead article in the August
issue of the Reader's Digest, and the resulting verdict
will hardly add to the happiness of the sponsors of
many present day "commercials".
Conceding that radio has
immortal music, news from the whole wide world
to millions of people, the Digest asks, "does that
give it the right to shove the halitosis, varicose veins
and suffering stomachs of mankind into the listener's
ear? Do so many of the commercial plugs on radio
rjroerams have to be so insistent and so offensive; i
o - -
THE article continues: "Here is a familiar scene,
4riiiVt lst0a iAtrinfA1 tvinmr tVtnucnrr1a rf 1 rv rto n
day. A family, gathered
music. Or an engrossing commentator, speaking of
the fate of nations and battles far away. Or one of
those comedians with an insane genius for making
everything he says seem funny, full stop. Intrusion
of a new voice, talking with oozing aggressiveness,
like syrup in a hurry, about the failings of a kidney,
the chewability of a gum, the infinite versatility of
a pill.
' The people in a room
voice goes on and on, now pleading, now threatening.
Finally one of them viciously turns off the radio.
And often it won't be turned on again that night, lest
some stranger's gizzards come bounding right into
the room."
CVEN in those instances when the products are
" more appetizing, the Digest notes that, "the way
of plugging them is enough to give the listener a
jumpy stomach. The voices of the announcers are
seldom natural, casual, human. By turns, as you shift
from station to station, thev
you in the face. Here is a solemn pulpit voice, preach
ing of clogged sinuses; here is a maniac with a con
genital megaphone; here is baby talk, about as cute
as a dwarf in diapers".
tan disgusted radio listeners do anything to purge
pent-up emotions? The Digest refers them to "Plug
Shrinkers" which has recently set up a central clear
ing house for handling complaints. Called a painless
organization with no dues, no officers, and no obliga
tions", outraged listeners may avoid high blood pres
sure by filling out a coupon and duly forwarding it.

and loud enough."

CALCIUM DEFICIENCY
Principally because of low per
capita consumption of milk,
cheese, eggs and butter which
are the best
natural sources
of calcium and

Dr. Brady d eficlency.
This deficiency contributes to
the causation of many of the
symptoms commonly attributed
to "nervousness".
Provided you comprehend
clearly that "neurasthenia" or
"nervous exhaustion" or "nerve
weakness" doesn't mean a thing
of course it is immaterial what
you call it. But to those who do
not know elementary physiology
it is misleading and injurious
when any presumably Intelli
gent persons, especially a doctor,
pretends to explain any- depar
ture from health or normalcy
as due to "bad nerves'.
It is my firm belief or opin
ion, based on many years of
special study and observation in
this field of health or hygiene.
that human happiness, well be
ing or contentment is deter
mined fundamentally by the
state of nutrition. When nutri
tional deficiencies, such as the
vitamin and mineral deficiencies i
mentioned above, go uncorrect
ed for a considerable length of
time impairment of the health
Is inevitable, and very often the
functional or other manifesta
tions of this are called "nervous
exhaustion" and badly mal
treated. When nutrition is main
tained at the optimal level (not
by mors nourising food, but
by a balanced ration of unde
naturized foods or of the usual
"purified" foods supplemented
with adequate amounts of the
vitamins and minerals modern
foods lack) the physical state of
the individual, animal or man, is
what I call vita. Here I am one
up on Webster, and in deference
to the fussy old gentleman I de
fine the term and I mean every
word of it:
Vite (vit) n. Preservation of the
characteristics of youth, bet-ter-than-average
nutritional
condition as manifested in
lower death rates, better
growth and development, ex
tension of the prime of life

Improvement in the life ex-'

Immunity, an adequate re-'

ergy or power to tide over
emergencies and strains, the

envious neurotic might say. Ifi

on skeptically. They naturally
want to Justify their policy, con
tinuing rationing.
They find numerous faults
with the various proposals, con
tending for instance that there
is nothing "new" in the rubber
show, that the other processes
will not produce good tires or
will need too much steel for
plant construction, or .cannot
produce in time, etc.
Meanwhile, Mr. Donald Nel
son has thrown the powerful
weight of his position against the
Gillette bill in congress propos
ing to create a single rubber au
thority, not Mr. Nelson, and to
manufacture more rubber from
alcohol than Mr. Nelson wafnts.
He practically told congress that
If he had it to do over again,
he might allow more synthetic
production from alcohol, but that
the change now would upset his
calculations.
As a result of this, or other
congressional dissatisfaction with
Mr, Nelson's failure in this one
line of production, the capitol
cloakrooms are filled with ru
mors that he may stay in London
on his forthcoming trip, or that
he will otherwise be retired. (Not
confirmed by any executive au
thority). THUS all avenues of activity
' seem to lead into the same
dead-end street upon which the
rubber problem has been run

ning from the beginning. No
one, not even Mr. Roosevelt,
seerr to have been entirely with
out fault.
In circulation in congressional
quarters is clipping from the
New York Times of February 28,
1941, containing the following
account of a presidential press
conference of the previc j day:
"The president expressed his
belief that the United States was
in no danger of running short of
rubber, much of which comes
from the Netherlands Indies.
Much raw rubber has been
bought by this country and there
is a good-sized supply on hand,
he said. If a 'pick-up' campaign
becomes necessary, enough rub
ber could be obtained from old
tires and used rubber to keep
going until synthetic rubber
plants could be put up."
...
THE failure of the government
' under its managed war econ
omy to provide either sufficient
tires or eastern gasoline for nec
essary civilian work while suc
ceeding in all other production
lines is practically the exclu
sive subject of civilian conversa
tion in the east where the strist-
. gas rationing (4 gallons a
week) went into effect Wednes
day. The state of public opinion In
the mid-west is generally accept
ed by congress as the reason for
continued postponement of na
tional gas rationing.
TocViy it is generally believed
here that this project has been
shelved definitely until after the
elections. Thus, the political con
cussion is being c.ifined to the
eas for the present at least.
Life insurance in force in the
United States at the beginning
of 1942 aggregated a total of
$124,000,000,000, held by 60,
