So her goes "When the telegraph com panies Invented the "canned" greeting messages Cwy gave rise to endless. If somewhat indiffer ent, humor. The messages may be discontinued because of war conditions; but as the Army adapts the device for more serious purpose the humor takes on a sudden poignancy. The War Department, in Its grimly official way, has Issued a list of 103 messages, greetings and ten der sentiments which may be sent by number (but "not more than three of the authorised fixed texts" in any one cable gram) to and from the armed forces overseas. The list makes up a striking lexicon of the emo tions, a reduction of the human heart to its least common de nominator, a kind of basic Eng lish, as it were, of the feelings or of those, at any rate, not cal culated to aid the enemy or low er morale. It is grouped Into six sections, covering the elemental concerns of humanity In war:' "Corre spondence' (dealing with letters and packages sent, received, not received, desired, and so on), "Greetings," "Health," "Promo tion," Money" and Congratula tions." Each has Its fascinations; perhaps 'Greetings," the largest group, is also the most arresting. The War Department, issuing sentiment as efficiently as It does G. I. clothing or tent pegs, euthorlr.es not only "kisses" (No. 42), but also "loves and kisses" (No. 43) and "fondest love and kisses" (No. 44). The soldier, or his loved one at home, Is also provided with a plain "darling" (No. SO), obvi ously for general purposes of combination with not more than two other phrases. "Good luck" and "keep smiling" are both au thorized, but there Is nothing to convey the notion of "too bad, better luck next time." One omission must surely have been mere oversight. Nos 83 and 86 announce the birth, respectively, of a son and daugh ter; but the War Department seems to have forgotten that people occasionally hava twins. The rest of the list shows plain ly that this was through no lack of solicitude and kindly under standing." Preaches Nights And Works In Mines Days Pittsburgh u.R A coal miner by day, a minister of the Gospel by night. That's the five -day -wee k schedule of the Rev. Edward R Truran, pastor and founder of the Brent Interdenominational church, near Grove City, and a motorman at the Sharon No. 2 mine of National Mining Co., a U. 8. Steel Corp. subsidiary. On Saturdays and Sundays, the minister-coal miner devotes all his time to preaching and directing other congregational activity. Although only 37, Dr. Truran has been employed In the same mine for two decades. Ten years ago he established the Brent Mission, and has devoted most of his spare time in the Interven ing years to the building of a church. Lake Worth, Fla. flJ.B After a "short conference" with an FBI agent, Lewis Barnes, 37. who said he wanted "no part of this war," has registered With Selective Service officials. Po lice Chief O. S. Sanders said he picked up Barnes for Inves tigation and the man admitted not aignlng for the draft. Americans Render Homage To Prince of Peace While Efforts All Bent on War By United Press America observed the birthday of the Prince of Peace today in a world at war. Its accelerated wartime tempo slowed temporarily for the Christmas prayers and celebration, although there was no respite for thousands of its sons at battle station on land and sea around the globe. It was unlike any Christmas the nation had aver observed before. A year ago, 18 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the country was only beginning the complete conversion of its peacetime economy to war. This year the entire nation wki organized for war, tightening its belt after a final Christmas buy ing spree which stripped stores of many articles which cannot be replaced until the war ends. Millions of men In the armed services could not rejoin their families for the holiday and choked trans portatlon facilities prevented many other family reunions. SOME TAKE BlUEl RESPITE Most war factories which kept operating at topspeed through other holidays halted their production lines to give their workers a well-earned rest. But soma continued working. At Melrose Park, 111., the Buick aviation plant notified part of Its force to report for work after the United Automobile Workers Union pro tested against company plans for a three-day shutdown. Even with war workers at home, there were vacant chairs at many Christmas dinner tobies. Approximately 1,000,000 soldiers are stationed overseas and thousands of sailors and marines are in service outside the United States. And some 4,000,000 other men are stationed at camps within the country far from their own hm Wherever American troops wera on duty behind the battle lines they paused for the holiday observance. Many of them went to the traditional Christmas dinner with turkey and the trimming in army mess halls. In China. Alaska and other farflung posts, soldiers gathered to sing carols around Christmas trees erected to remind them of homes where they spent earlier Christmas hoi Ways and where they hope to spend the next one. From those homes, they received millions of greetings and gifts delivered by the army, fulfilling ltt pledge to handle the tremendous load of Christmas mall. AMERICAN TROOPS CELEBRATE American troops began celebrating Christmas at 8 a. m. vnmt - u. trill TaianHa arms the international date line.

Opponents of the plan Insist there is no occasion to establish another government agency to finance the small sawmills; that if a small operator needs money It is obtainable from the Small War Plants corporation. It Is not, claim these opponents, a lack of financial backing that Is causing the lumebr shortage but a short age of manpower, for despite the order freezing lumber workers to their Jobs many escape to other Industries, such as ship yards. Forest service offers no new solution to the labor prob lem; Is in the same boat as pres ent operators on that point. TRUMAN committee, which Is investigating almost every thing these days, delved Into the forest service plan; was Impress ed by the lumber shortage angle and gave a sort of left-handed approval, although technically not making any recommenda tion. Thirty national and region al producers and distributors of lumber Insist that the program la a schema to reorganize and regiment the Industry under the guise of war relief. Several members of the Truman com mtltee share this view, which may be the reason the commit tee did not go overboard for the forest service idea. Among the committeemen who have had some of the objections Is Senator Wallgren of Washington. As this is written, the forest service document is on the desk of the president for approval. It has been there for a long time, but the assumption Is strong inai wnen ne reaches it the re port will be approved. War pro duction board says the secretary of agriculture worked on a draft of the proposal six months ago, WPB being quite enthusiastic over the plan. THE executive of a private utility company In the north west has sent to Brazil searching for vital war materials.

SS tfl r m a n broadcast recorded by United Press In New York) The offi cial DNB agency in a Tokyo dispatch today quoted an imperi al Japanese headquarters com munique as saying that American planes attacked Japanese-held wane island Wednesday. i The communion asserted that i a doten planes approached the: isiana xrom tne direction of Mid-1 way Island. Japanese troops, it was said, shot down four and damaged six of the raiders and "the remainder turned tail." The Americans started fires at four points, killed one nersnn and Injured four more, the com munique said, adding "no other losses were reported." (In Washington the navy had no comment on the Axis report.)

Some Dortlon of th ariirta this dentist refers to rvlHsntiv appeared In a Chicago news paper, for shortly after that rlat the same paper printed a "Pro test by Dentists". It seemed that the Chicago Dental Society was up in arms about the new fangled immediate denture serv ice and the society's secretary wrote the paper as follows: "A new low was reached when Dr. Brady sought to give advice regarding immediate denture service. Every den tist knows that most of the statements made in this article are woefully inaccurate and grossly misleading. "He states, for example, 'Competent dentists install plates, not temporary plates, but the plates the patient will wear permanently, immedi ately after extraction of the teeth." This simply is not the truth . . ." By now, I hope, even Chicago dentists have heard the news. Seriously, a professor in a Chicago Dental School says In reply to an Inquiry, October 26, 1942: "It Is quite true that what Dr. Brady refers to in his column as 'Immediate denture Friend Confesses Attack on Mother San Diego, Cal., Dec. 2S (U.PJ Mrs. Margaret Sharon O'Dea Wallace, 26, hat confessed that she threw Mrs. Inez Maclam over an 80-foot cliff because she want ed to claim the Maclam baby 0& i OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1942 Brady.

But many osteopathic physicians use much th same medi cines, serums, sedatives, stimulants, antiseptics, etc., as regular physicians do. As a matter of economy, common sense and public welfare, all pros pective practitioners of the healing art should be required to have ade quate baste training and be Ueenaed by th atat aa Just physicians, leav ing to th p tryst elan's Judgment the method or typ of treatment he deems beat In each case.
