Navy Needs
The U. S. navy's urgent call for recruits should
receive immediate and enthusiastic response from
the youth of southern Oregon. The need for this call
is clearly indicated by current news reports of the
navy's activities.
A few months ago the navy was our first line of
defense. Today it is our first line of ATTACK !
Last year we started to build a two-ocean navy.
Today our need is a FIVE-ocean navy!
.....
"THE smashing attacks upon Jap-held bases in the
Solomon Islands is listed as a "navy affair"; the
simultaneous thrust at Nipponese strongholds on the
Aleutians was also made by navy air and surface
craft These point unmistakably to the fact that the
navy's thinking and action are now in terms of
"attack". This MUST be the procedure if victoiy is
to be achieved soon. After all, a good offense is the
best defense.
I7HAT price victory?
" It is certain to be high. Make no mistake, the
tasks of dislodging the Japs from their numerous
South sea bases, near Tulagi and from Kiska, Attu
and Aeattu will be costly
We cannot hope to repeat the one-sided victories of
Midway and the Coral seas for they were DEFENSE
actions.
Another big job the
vital sea lanes in the Arctic, Atlantic and Mediterra
nean. It will call for more
ers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, sub-chasers and sub'
marines. It will require an increasing number of air
planes, too lightning-fast fighters, deadly hell
divers, riant lone ranee bombers.
Moreover, this program
world-wide network of land and sea bases for ships,
planes, tankers and transports.
MEN 500,000 of them will be needed AT
ONCE to send this fast-growing, hard-hitting
nuvy forth to victory. Voluntary enlistment is still
possible. Expert training in a choice of 49 skilled jobs,
rapid advancement, eood pay, plenty to eat, comfort
able quarters, and companionship with other alert,
stout-hearted young shipmates are among other ad
vantages of naval service, officially mentioned.
.....
THE urgent need for recruits RIGHT NOW prompts
us to offer this friendly word to young Americans
HERE
If you are able-bodied you will soon be in the
pervice of your country. The early need for YOUR
help is apparent
Do not wait for your selective service call. Enlist
NOW while you may CHOOSE the branch in which
y u will serve. There's no time like the present.
If you want to do YOUR part RIGHT NOW to
win the war, there is a place for YOU in the United
States navy. H.G.
Help Fruit Picking
"What can I do to help the war effort?"
Rogue River valley fruit growers and packers have
a readv answer to this Question: "lend a hand in
harvesting the pear crop this month."
This mav seem a bit far
There IS a direct connection between picking and
packing the ripened pear crop here and the war
effort Although the oft-used slogan "food will win
the war" may be slightly over-drawn, victory WITH
OUT food is obviously impossible.
INDEED, every item of food that is produced is im-
portant to the nation's health, wealth and liveli
hood. Some of this food goes directly to the various
fronts and army camps to keep fighting men in fight
in,, trim physically. Other items of food strengthen
those on the home front. Assistance given to harvest
ing any crop relieves manpower for other war efforts ;
often eliminates costly food spoilage.
.....
IT appears now that the critical labor situation,
which has had Rogue River valley growers worried
for some time, is somewhat brighter. This is due to
the whole-hearted cooperation of local merchants,
labor unions and the general public. The willingness
oi women to do their part is encouraging.
But the battle is not won. Not until the last pear
is picked and packed away will this community's
obligation be discharged.
CEVENTY-FIVE pickers, the vanguard of the "pear
picking commandos", will go on duty Monday
morning. Every man, woman and child who can
possibly be spared from other essential tasks should
"enlist" for the harvest duration.
Wages are good. There is ample opportunity to
earn several war savings bonds during the picking
f.'d packing season.
So, you CAN help the war effort right here at home
--and help yourself and your neighbors, also the
pear growers, at the same time. H.G.

NOT ONLY ANONY
My husband has been drinking
for some time and lately has be
come an habitual drinker (writes
Mrs- Some

has a Job but
he doesn't do
as well as he
should. He has
no sense of re
s p o n s 1 bility
and is now
nearly bank'
rupt. The chil
dren and I are
feeling the ef
fects of all
Dr.' Brady this, but no
where can I find practical help
for the problem. I don't want to
undertake legal action to confine
him to an institution. A good
doctor I know suggested that
perhaps "Alcoholics Anony
mous could help me but
couldn't tell me where to go
or to whom to apply for infor
mation. I believe you mentioned
"Alcoholics Anonymous" In
your column once, and if my
recollection is right about this
I feel sure you can tell me
what I need to know (Mrs.
).
With all the sympathy In the
world. Ma'am, I can tell you
one thing you need to know,
something every prospective
bride needs to know, namely,
that an unexceptionable condi
tion or requirement for mar
riage should be a solemn pledge
of both parties against the use
of alcoholic beverage or liquor
at least until the partnership is
dissolved or any children are
old enough to take care them
selves. It seems to me that those
who administered the sacrament
of marriage or perform the legal
ceremony ought to use their In
fluence to persuade couples
seeking marriage to give this
pledge, for the happiness of the
family and the welfare of society
in general.
Unfortunately I am no better
prepared to tell you where' to
go or to whom to apply for In
formation concerning "Alcohol
ics Anonymous" than your own
physician friend is. I wish I
could put you in touch with
such a group or some member
of a group of "A'-coholics Anony
mous in your city or vicinity,
for I believe it might help your
husband to find his way back.
But "Alcoholics Anonymous
are "Alcoholics Elusive" so far
as my efforts to learn anything
about them go.

The force to be made ready

Washington, D. C. Aug. 15.
Out of Puget sound and Colum
bia river port lor years went
steel and iron scrap. It was
good business for the Junkmen.
It gave the Japanese what they
wanted for war. How much
scrap was carried away in Jap
anese freighters is a matter in
dispute; it Is estimated all the
way from eight to 20 million
tons. Today those shipments of
scrap are slowing down war pro
duction; Donald Nelson of war
production board has been tak
ing large display advertisements
appealing for old iron and steel.
Throughout the Caribbean area
i scavengers are prowling look
ing for this scrap to send to
steel mills of the United States,
and it comes in duty free.
Labor unions of jthe northwest
petitioned that the sale of scrap
to the Japanese be stopped;
senators from Washington and
Oregon Introduced bills to that
end. The administration was
"babying" the Japanese with
scrap and some $220,000,000 of
petroleum products, plus air
planes and parts. The Japanese
began returning the scrap at
Pearl Harbor, at Wake, at Attu
and Kiska, sending it into the
bodies of American soldiers,
sailors and aviators. As one
congressman says, the scrap sent
to Japan between 1937 and 1940
would build 20 battleships of
45,000 tons each; 50 plane car
riers of 30,000 tons each; . 100
cruisers of 15,000 tons each; 500
submarines of 2,400 tons each
and still leave several million
tons for planes, tanks, bombs,
torpedoes and bullets.
The steel situation, because
of lack of scrap, has caused sev
eral plants with war orders to
close. Production is not as
great as it was in June. Gen.
Brehon Somervell is said to
have written a letter to Nelson
in July warning that 98 plants
would be waiting for steel short
ly, suggesting the matter receive
attention. The letter went into
the files without anyone in
authority seeing it. Rumored
that Somervell will soon become
the actual head of WPB but that
Nelson will be the "front." The
steel problem looms in the Pa
cific northwest where a great
shipbuilding program is in pro
gress which will bog down un
less somewhere steel and Iron
scrap is found for the mills.
Steel manufacturers say there
is an abundance of sheet steel
available for ships and tanks,
but a shortage of bars from
which nuts and bolts, also re
quired for ships and tanks, are
produced. The Truman senate
committee 1. now conducting an
inquiry into steel to learn, if
possible. w!iat is wrong and who
is responsible.

ment is not enthusiastic. Anoth

who desclares that a flying boat
such as the Mars type has to
carry too much weight (pon
toons, etc.) and he champions a
ltnd plan of greater "pay load"
capacity. Major Seversky is a
builde of planes who recently
published a hook, "Victory Thru
Air Power." that has caused
heated discussion. Others say
that if the go-ernment wants
mass production of the 70-ton-ners
(as proposed by Kaiser) the
man to make them is Glenn Mar
tin. who n. three :ears in com
pleting the Mars. The Kaiser
"letter of intent" is worthless
unless he can find the materials
of aluminum, magnesium and
steel necessary from other sour
ces than those now employed on
the program of the army and
navy. Put on other construction
lobs Kaiser has solved the prob
lem of materials by building
plants of his pwn. (He now is
building a stee. and a magnesi

FOR NAVY DRIVE
A local committee of citizens
has been formed to cooperate
with U. S. navy officials in a
local campaign for navy re
cruits, tieing in with a nation
wide drive for a half million
men to help man the growing
American sea force. Members
of the Medford committee, ap
pointed by Mayor H. S. Deuel,
are E. H. Hedrick. superinten
dent of Medford schools, Eugene
Thomdike, Medford banker,
Leonard Mayfield, principal of
Medford high school. Jack Car
penter, local navy recruiting of
ficer, Kenneth Wells, scout exe
cutive, and Herb Grey of the
Mail Tribune. The committee
met Friday to perfect plans for
the local campaign.
The need for added personnel
to man the new ships now being
completed has been emphasized
by Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox and other high govern
ment officials. Voluntary en
listment in this branch of the
service is now possible and
young men likely to be soon
drafted are being approached
with interesting informative
material dealing with navy life
