This is xceedinnlv Dalnful and a fur prise both to themselves and the Norwegians. Herr Hitler has not yet heard of this display of weakness. A kitchen flat-iron provides enough metal to make a hand grenade. Males who have dodged both on home and for eign battle fronts report results are both the same, but more permanent with the latter. In the British House of Com mons the past week the question of why Rome has not been bombed was asked but not answered. The same query goes for Berlin and Tokyo. I I More people attended football games last Saturday than volun teered to help harvest crops on the Pacific Coast all last week. By planting tomatoes and pota toes, in the stadium, and pro viding they must be picked be fore the game is played, is one solution. Another would be to station a movie queen at the end of every row with a kiss for the winner. ' CALL AN ALIENISTI (Red Bluff (Calif.) News) "Patrons at the A. & W. cafe leave on the average of two hats a week. Some re turn for them and some don't. Orie Breese says that the hats are always smaller sizes. We wonder if this has anything to do with the forgetfulness of his customers." H. Fredette, the refugee from St. Louis sent the right pitcher to the mound yes. and the Cards squelched the Yanks in the sec ond game of the Worm series. The 33-mlle psr hour speed law went into effect on time and was observed more in the spirit than the doing. Several were noted travelling twice the total of the large number on the size of their tire, plus the smul ler number, making a total of 78 per. It was dark and no body noticed. The blue chips are down In the struggle for the Columbia power empire, a notice says This out of the way, the con quering of the Axis, will be eay. MANABOUT-CHURCHESI (Astoria Astorian-Budget) "As we've mentioned here before we were raised in the Methodist home, attended a Presbyterian college, sang In an Episcopal choir and feel equally at home today in the formal religious atmosphere of the cathedral or on the bench of the hastily con structed evangelist's taber nacle. To us, it doesn't seem to make a great deal of dif ference to what church or ganization you belong." Farmers are so busy these days they have no time to come to town and tell how busy thy are. All are behind In their fretting over the lack of rain for fall plowing. . . MUD IS NO CLEARER!

(Federal Bureau Item). Closing Urn (or Classified id. a. m To late to tlaaul; 12M A Great Achievement On September 17th President Roosevelt left Wash ington for a train trip to the Pacific Coast and back. The American press knew all about it, even the usual press representatives accompanied the Presi dent, but not a line was printed. A week later the President's train, heavily guarded and preceded by a pilot engine passed through Klamath Falls. This paper was informed of the fact, but of course it was strictly off the record. Neither this paper nor anv other DaDer on the coast so much as INTIMATED the President was within a result were completely unaware of it, until yester day when the official party returned to the White House. THIS, we think, Is quite an achievement It shows hmtr effWMvA f.hfl war renaorshin can be. if condi tions demand it It also shows how 100 pers of the country are in the resent war effort It is really amazing that among all the newspaper men of the land, not one not even Walter Winchell failed to resist the temptation to directly or indirectly score an epoch-shattering "beat" THE newspapers are often cursed out for sensa- tionalism and irresponsibility a disposition to place their self-interest above the public welfare. In peace time there may be, now and then, some justification for such an indictment, particularly in the metropolitan areas; but in the present war to date, certainly the newspapers of this country have set an example, wnicn is greaiiy io ineir creait arm which the rest of the country might well emulate. Will ED. R. Lose Farmers? Anion? other comments upon his return from the swiner-around-the-circle President Roosevelt declared the workers of the country Ins effort to curb the price There vou have in a nut - entire political conflict over bill. The more money the fanner gets for his farm prod ucts, the more the laborer has to pay for the contents of his dinner pail, and visa versa. IN THE past President Roosevelt has, with amazing nflitniftidoa fVio lahnr vrita witVmiit alinnarincr aUlVlLUCOO UIU HIV MV& the farm vote. Perhaps he will succeed at the present writing it doesn't look like it. In fact it looks very much as if a majority of the farm vote would be anti-Roosevelt in November if not solidly anti-Democratic. TJOWEVER, this need not result in any outstanding Republican gains. The claim that when Presi dent Roosevelt deliberately makes a move that loses him votes the Washington monument does a buck and wing dance, is still pretty close to the mark. The labor vote still outnumbers the farm vote and will overwhelmingly in this farmer vote lost, the President will gain close to half a dozen workers ballots. The only really encouraging thing for the G.O.P., therefore, is that for some President Roosevelt did not able to get both ! i How About India? What is happening to India? With the most air tight censorship in the entire ing, it is extremely difficult But perhaps because of birthday, London decided 22-word bulletin: 'Twenty-five persons were killed today when police fired on a mob which attacked a police station at Irum in Orlssa province." COME well-informed military observers believe Great Britain is making a colossal and perhaps a fatal blunder in India. In current "Common Sense," Frances Gunther, wife of John Gunther, goes so far as to claim that if India loses her present fight for complete independence, the United Nations will lose the war. For such a failure would throw all India against England, if not absolutely in the arms of the axis, and without India the British Empire can't last e e e e THIS sounds like rather an extravagant statement, but Mrs. Gunther, with her husband, recently made a first-hand study of conditions in that country, and her whole hearted devotion to the cause of Britain and the allies is unquestioned. TMEANWHILE it appears to a man up a tree a niche often occupied by the skipper of this de partmentthat the Japanese are playing a pretty shrewd game in this particular instance. In strong force supposedly on the Indian border, Nippon is concentrating, not on military action, but on propaganda and persistent 5th column penetra tion, particularly the latter. This is smart For unless we are badly mistaken the first sign of aimed action directly against India would consolidate that entire country against the yellow invaders and destroy the internal dissension that is now such a seri ous handicap to any successful allied defense, and such an asset to the Axis. 22 DIE IN CRASH San Juan, Puerto Rico, Oct 2.

Address Dr. William Brady, tea El Cam loo. Beverly HI lit, Calif. SACRO ILIAC OR LUMBO SACRAL STRAIN Writing to a professional col league (an osteopathic physi cian) the other day I mentioned that I was par tially disabled by what I be lieved to be a "slipped i n -nominate" (as I believe the osteopaths sometimes call it) or a sacro iliac strain or or sprain suf fered from try ing to lift a Dr. Brady heavy object while bending down instead of squatting and lifting with mv legs, keeping my back straight, as one should do. My colleague reminded me that such a strain often affects the lum bo-sacral articulation, that Is the juncture of the lowest lumbar vertebra with the sacrum or lowest bone of the spine which is joined to the wings of the hip bones on either side to form part of the pelvis. And by golly, I believe my osteopathic friend is right. for I had noticed that the tender ness and pain seemed plumb in the centre and no movement of one side gave more pain or dis comfort than the same move ment of the other side, whereas a sprain or strain of the sacro iliac would give more pain and limitation of movement of the leg on the side affected. It seems too bad, doesn't it, that my sprain is not on the mend (four days) If it were a little worse I'd have to visit the osteopath and find out just what the lesion is and what treatment it should have. Whether your particular crick in the back is sacro-iliac or lum bosacral strain, the best first aid and early treatment, that is to put on a strong wide belt and wear it low over the hips and as tightly drawn as you can com fortably stand. Such a belt, per haps with a hand size pad on either side of the spine under the belt, gives support to the strained muscles and ligaments of the sacro-iliac juncture and in some cases brings extraordin ary relief to the pain and dis ability as soon as it is applied. tor the same reason careful strapping with adhesive plaster around the body below the crest of hip bones gives much relief. We medical docs, at least when I was in medical school, never dreamed that there could Communications LET'S FORGET THE CONTROVERSY To the editor: Being neither a newcomer nor a native Medfordite, I risk hav ing both sides of the present "hospitality controversy" throw cabbages at my head by making a few suggestions, myself. When I first came to Medford I thought it a pretty difficult place to become known and to feel at home. I began attending the church to which I had be longed in another town, but found no response in its mem bers. Probably I was too shy, too. But after a time I changed churches, and in my present church-home I am happy and contented. There the stranger is always made to feel one of us, if he will, and we have with us some splendid people from other states, newcomers among us practically every morning, and what lovely people they are! I do believe that a lot of the old-timers of Medford have grown up together, they have their old friends, their homes and their business to take up their time, and perhaps in years past they have not thought suf ficiently about the strangers among them, but I am sure it was not their intention to snub or slight others. Probably the newcomers who find Medford difficult would have been Judged about the same way by newcom ers in their own. towns, had not this war upset the nation and made many "strangers in a for eign land." I think Mrs. H.M.K.. whose letter appeared in Tuesday's pa per, must be a lovely person, and I should like to know her. I be lieve she is typical of most o( our newcomers, but, of course, in any large group we will find those who like us and want us to like them, and a few who yearn for home and the old friends to such an extent that they have no room in their hearts for the people here. Neith er all Medford people nor all people in ANY town can be con sidered friendly nor desirable companions. On the other hand, I feel sorry for Mrs. W. W. T. because of the storm of protest her letter brought. I feel that she only meant to be loyal to the fine peo ple of Medford who HAVE gone all-out to make the strangers u-pli-nm. and helnif hurt bv some of the accusations, she ac - 7 OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1942 Brady. M. D. be any subluxation or partial dislocation or any movement at all at the sacro-iliac juncture. The osteopathic docs have as serted for many years that slight dislocation or subluxation is a common occurrence in such cases. The controversy goes on a-pace and medical men insist that X-ray pictures reveal no such displacement, while osteo paths as firmly Insist that X-ray pictures confirm the. diagnosis of subluxation or partial dlslo cation. Anyway, the mere knowledge that sacro-iliav (or lumbo-secral) stralng or sprain occurs In per sons seized with "crick in the back" when lifting or when making tomr movement (even just turning over in bed some times) Is better than calling the trouble 'lumbago" or "sciatica" and never having an asteopath's advice at all. QUESTION ANSWERS No Wonder Would appreciate It If you could tell me why I gag io easily, especially when brushing my teeth. (D. C.) Answer After all. brushing the teeth, like cleaning out the esopha gus with a swab, is an unnatural sort of interference and nature rebels In the way you describe. Ever have a stomach wasb thru a tube gently Insinuated Into your stomach? Yeah, that's what I mean. Rays What are the names of the dlf. ferent light rays the sun transmits, such as ultra-violet rays and others? (8. P. A.) Answer The visible rays are the red. orange, yellow, green, blue and violet rays of the spectrum-or rain bow. Then there are Important In visible rays of longer wave length than the red rays which are the longest in the visible rays, and these are called Infra-red (heat), and other Invisible rays shorter than the blue and violet which are the shortest of the visible rays, and these are called ultraviolet rays (cold). Ear Plugs Live on nolsv street, constant din of traffic, radios, other city noises Find I can Insert ear plugs such as vou suggested for swimmers, and so shut out most of the noise and sleep with comparatlce comfort. Is there any harm In this? (Miss M. P.) Answer No harm. Many people use such ear plugs for that purpose, wl.h advantage. The plugs are of pliant waxy material, commonly sold by druggists and sports good dealers for the use of swimmers. (Copyright ma. John P. Wile Co.) Ed.

Surely, though, it should not be said that "she is no lady" nor that "she wears her fingernails a foot long".

NL P B Medford. Oct..l. SHE LIKES MEDFORD FINE To the editor: Reading the communication by Mrs. B. H., September 29 is hard for me to understand when my experience was so decidedly the opposite, making me feel truly sorry tor anyone so un fortunate. Would be glad to meet Mrs. B. H., and if she would call at 611 West 8th street perhaps in an exchange of experience we have had, might be able to con-, vince her there are many very friendly kind hearted people ready to be just that way to those more recent arrivals. Have traveled around and through every state In the U. S. and attended services in that many different churches and can truthfully say never once have I come out of a service without feeling I had been meet ing friendly people, making me feel glad to be there. And, still another thing Is that we always come home feeling Medford was just one of the j best of all. We had reverses, yes, aplenty, but never once did I feel it was caused by anything but our own mlsjudgment or manage ment. Sincerely hoping Mrs. B. H and others of similar views, will, before leaving, find there is a majority in Medford - of good kind, friendly people if given the opportunity. E. M. Y. (Name on file). Medford, Oct 1. NAME IS MISSPELLED To the editor: In tonight's paper under the Butte Falls news I found what was intended to be our name only no one else would have recognized it. It was printed "William Aisme."
