The purported pork shortage
upstate recalls to folks in the
metropolis the days of the Great
Tomfoolery, when in the inter
ests of "planned scarcity" two
million pigs were massacred by
federal decree, and cast Into the
"Father of Waters" and tnou-
tary streams. Now, the progeni
tor of this fantastic notion, pro
poses to put all mankind in a
cooperative mood after the war,
by making it possible for every
living soul to have a quart of
milk per diem. No wonder con
tented cows, fearing history will
repeat, have started to lose their

Sen. Rufus Holman protests
the appointment of Admiral

edmiral is not as young as he
used to be, but he still is a
better man to fly to London or
Moscow, to attend a war strate
gy conference than Harry Hop
kins, the top-notch social wel
fare worker, who never walked

Why Buy More War Bonds?
In the "open house" ceremonies at Camp White
August 15th, marking the activation of the new 91st
division, the Jackson county war bond committee sees
an opportunity to show "the world" just what their
purchases of war bonds and stamps really mean when
translated into terms of weapons. One of the features
of the public ceremonies at Camp White will be an
exhibition of the latest military equipment
Moreover, citizens here will have the opportunity
to actually buy some of the weapons for their adopted
division, the 91st A sales quota of a half million
dollars worth of stamps and bonds has been set by
the local committee, and August 15th is the deadline
for raising this sum.
UOW many guns will this $500,000 buy?
At maturity value, it would provide the 91st
division with 6,250 of the new M-l Garand rifles. It
would buy 625 of the funny looking little "peeps"
now darting about on Jackson county highways. It
would pay for 77 hard-hitting 37 MM anti-tank guns
the kind which will be shown at Camp White's
"open house". Or our half-million dollar loan to
Uncle Sam would give the 91st division 50 field guns
of 77 MM caliber.
"THE old 91st wrote a glorious record for gallantry
and achievement in the annals of the first world
war. The new 91st, with the same battle cry heard at
Yyres-Lys and Meuse-Argonne "Powder River, let
'er buck" will sustain these traditions on some
distant battle field in days to come.
The very least that WE can do is to make certain
that this, and other units of America's expanding
fighting force, have the best weapons that money
can buy and plenty of them.
Indeed, it is little sacrifice on our part to LOAN
our dollars in this critical
is cheap, no matter how
never were so great.
"THERE must be the fullest public support of this
brief, intensive war bond and stamp drive if Jack
son county is to reach its self-assigned goal.
Beginning today, therefore, let every citizen here
take new account of his ability to buy stamps and
bonds. You are GIVING nothing. You are merely
INVESTING in victory!
You are guaranteeing
tinued existence of everything you hold dear in the
life of your nation. H.G.

Women Voters Fight Inflation
The National League of Women Voters has charg
ed the U. S. Senate with responsibility for an
"adequate" 19-12 tax bill and advocated adoption of
an anti-inflationary program exceeding the i-8.7 bil
lion revenue recommendation proposed by the Treas
ury. As the Senate Finance Committee took over juris
diction of the House tax bill, $2.5 billion short of the
Treasury's proposals, the league threw its weight
squarely behind a tax program even heavier than the
Treasury's, by issuing a broadside titled "Next Year's
Taxes Will They Be Adequate? It's Up To The
Senate!" The league will distribute the leaflet on a
national scale as part of its wartime service of inter
preting current governmental issues to the public.
o
""THE most serious defect of both the House bill and
the Treasury program lies in the' personal income
hour. The price of freedom
high the cost. Its dividends
with your dollars the con
other.
by Charley's literary blood
6, Jim Farley will defeat
this same Democratic oppo
tax provisions, the broadside states. "Neither set of
proposals recognizes the need for putting a brake on
inflation by taxing away a large part of the money
people have in excess of what can be spent on the
diminishing supply of goods and services."
The league takes the position that heavy taxation
is "cheaper", than inflation and that it is necessary
to levy big taxes on both small and large incomes in
order to check inflation.

HEALTH AND STRENGTH
For many years the big mus
cle boys of the pulps have been
promising child - minded cus-
t o m e r s the
strength of
Samson In six
easy les s o n s
and probably
that has lent
weight to the
popular notion
that strength
means health
This notion is
misleading and
harmful. A
man may have
Dr. Brady extraordina r y
physical or muscular strength,
more than a normal person has,
yet be ill of a serious organic
disease. I recall the instance of a
youth whose physical strength
and development was outstand
ing in a group of young men
undergoing complete physical
examination. He had a five-inch
chest expansion, whereas the
others had the average two or
three inches. Most of the others
passed the examination, but the
remarkably strong and well de
veloped young man failed he
had pulmonary tuberculosis. Not
that overdevelopment of muscle
predisposes to tuberculosis par
ticularly the extreme muscular
development certainly tends to
sap the individual's vitality
but just to show that great phys
ical or muscular strength should
not be confused with health or
vite.
This misconception crops up
every day in letters from our
readers, in a context 'which, to
my mind, accounts for a com
mon carelessness or negligence
on the part of the laity, namely,
reluctance to consult the physi
cian in the early stages of heart,
artery, brain, or kidney mani
festations of CVD.
CVD means cardiovascular de
generation heart-artery wear
ing out in mature adults, which
accounts for most of the "break
downs" of middle age and there
after. Typical of this popular mis
conception is the familiar obser
vation of astonishment at so-and-
so's heart failure, as so-and-so
was apparently so strong and
powerfully built.
On other occasions I have en
deavored to suggest some of the
early, and generally misinter
preted manifestations of CVD,
without unduly alarming any

whether he realizes it or thinks

doctor, not a "specialist" but a

Comment
From Washington. D. C
OPA Lawyers Set
To Aid Housewives
House in Recess
For Campaign
Bonneville Power
Sabotage Hinted
Br John W. rally
Washington, D. C, Aug. 3.
Office of price administration is
waiting to rush to the assistance
of some housewife in distress.
OPA has sufficient lawyers to
meet the situation, hundreds of
them. Under the price control
act if a housewife discovers she
is being cheated by the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker
she can sue for $50 or for three
times the amount of the over
charge, whichever is the greater
sum.
Time has been allowed dealers
to prepare their prices (those of
last March being the yardstick)
and observe them. OPA insists
that all March prices be display
ed on a large card; it prohibits
the keeping of the March prices
in a book which would require
thumbing display the prices on
the wall, plainl.y. Presumably
all dealers will observe the rules
of OPA, but if a merchant at
tempts to "slip something over"
on a customer OPA is prepared
to see that the penalty is en
forced if the customer takes
action. In addition to collecting
$50, or triple damages, the cus
tomer is also entitled to attor
ney's fees and court costs. When
ever one of these cases develops
OPA will intervene through one
of its legion of lawyers.
SUBCOMMITTEE of the
house naval affairs will zoom
down upon the waters of the
Columbia river and again on
Puget sound in a navy transport
plane for a check-up. The sub
committee will swing around to
the south to naval establishments
on the gulf and then into Cali
fornia before going into Oregon
and Washington. Tongue Point
will be the objective on the Co
lumbia and the navy yard at
Bremerton and other establish
ments on Puget sound. At pres
ent the committee does not con
template flying to Alaska, but it
may inspect sites of new avia
tion centers in the northwest
where the latest "secret weapon"
is to be located.
INSOFAR as the house of rep
resentatives is concerned it has
taken an informal recess until
the middle of September and
members are hurrying home for
the campaign. The senate is also
practically adjourned, but is on
a three-day recess schedule. By
a gentlemen's agreement no con
troversial legislation will be
taken up by the few members
still in the national capital.
Before leaving, members ex
pressed themselves freely on the
way certain departments are
conducting the war. The office
of civilian defense was criticised
for not furnishing gas masks to
the people of the Pacific north
west when army and navy men
have intimated that section of
the country may be invaded -.nd
that the Japanese may use gas.
Refusal of war department to
approve (until months after
Pearl Harbor) a land route to
Alaska was another item of criti
cism, to which was added the
fact that army engineers are now
building the road too far to the
east and through miles of mus
keg swamp.
AN attempt is being made to
sabotage Bonneville power dam,
according to unconfirmed but
government whispers. The sabot
age is not the dynamiting of the
dam and blowing the power
house to smithereens, but the di
version of generators now being
constructed for the final units
and using them elsewhere. This
would cut down the total capac
ity of kilowatt production and
confirm allegations of one of the
power advisors of war produc
tion board that the northwest is
practically at the end Of its rope
i: power production and that
any new war Industries should
not be located in Columbia val
ley, but should be placed in TVA
territory.
Turbines are in high demand,
and large ones require time to
build, and should those being
fabricated for Bonneville be
shifted elsewhere (as were gen
erators for Shasta dam switched
to Grand Coulee) it might be
that Bonneville will never have
complete installation; the metal
not being available during the
war, and thereafter the power
may not be needed.
ESTIMATED cost to Improve
stat highway systems to a mini
mum of war department require
ments shows Washington re
quires $40,530,000 and Oregon
$100,000,000. The funds will not
be available. Estimates were pre
pared by American Association
of State Highway officials.
HAVING been provided with
an airport, the town of Ontario
in Oregon now asks that a tram
mi. base be established there.
The United States division en-1
gineer of the north Pacific dis
trict has been delegated to make j
s study of the facilities st On
tario and the report will be con
sidered when and if it may fit
I into the plans of the air corps
some time in the future.

Mother's Sacrifice
He sent his clothes home yes
terday and somehow don't
you know?
My heart and soul was stricken
and I could not halt the flow
Of tears. His coat, his shirts all
folded neat, within the box
they lay.
It seemed I saw him once again
as when I bade him go that
day.
These clothes he wore, this
striped tie he always wore
awry, I straightened it
That day. While he stood by
the kitchen door and laughed
my tears away.
God knows the feeling in my
heart, He knows my soul's
dismay.
Please God! please bring him
back! that he may wear these i"
clothes again some happy daylw
