The first time your correspondent has seen the sun in six weeks was this morning on the lark, and was that a grand and glorious feeling! Say what you will we don't care much for world that doesn't belong to the solar system or insists upon hiding the fact and forces poor terrestial humans to live the life of amphibians. , . With the sun shining, the fields dry and the mountains bare, we never before felt such an affection for Southern California as on our arrival this morning. We almost sang the first verse of "California Here We Come", a tune which was once on our pet aversion list. Of course some good authorities claim the weather has very little to do with health some even maintain nothing at all. We know this: The cold that went great guns In the Icy fog of San Francisco and no doubt started in the rimless highly saturated atmosphere of the Rogue River Valley has gone or PRACTICAL LY gone. There are plenty of red noses and bleary eyes about the hotel but they are not due to Dr. Brady's cri. (Give all other New Year celebrators one guess as to what they were caused by)!! Yes, we can highly recommend a train trip on New Year's Eve. What celebration there was occurred in the lounge car, and we were four or five cars back, enjoying one of the best night rests we have ever enjoyed on the S. P. (which isn't saying so much but at that we are thankful.) . . And let us once more give the devi 1 his due. The "Lark" running from San Francisco to Los Angeles is one of the best trains in the country service, equipment, EVERYTHING! It just shows what the S. P. COULD do if it had a mind to, in other parts of the country! Later We have just returned from the Rose Bowl game, in a Pacific electric car full of drunks. But they were nice drunks In fact we have seldom seen more drunks and better behaved ones than were at the game, and encountered both going and coming. Many were In uniform, both army and navy. And not a sour puss or a fighting souse among them. All were full of gayety and boyish joy and on the return trip, Georgia enthusiasm. Incidentally this happens to be true going over we didn't see one person flaunting Georgia colors coming home the car was a veritable Georgia flower shop. One soldier boy from New York had a fine time with the con ductor, who was an exceedingly venerable gentleman, none too able-bodied, who took himself and his duties very seriously. (Which was one reason perhaps he had so many gold service stripes on his arm he might have been mistaken for a Rear Admiral.) Not content with appropriating the conductor's cap and putting It on his own tousled head the doughboy proceeded to call out N. Y. stations in a terrible to the football congestion there were many of them. "Forty-second Street", 'Times Square", the "Bronx", change cars for "Spuyten- Dlvll" and "Groton Reservoir", and all out for "South Ferry". It doesn't sound particularly funny as we write it, but the soldier boy did It all with a vigor and abandon that with the con ductor's Impotence and rage simply brought down the house. It was a merry crowd that finally disembarked at Los Angeles but the poor old conductor we doubt if he ever recovers. . And what a day not a cloud in the sky, and the temperature we should say, close to 70. (Well, if that's a military secret it won't be printed until is ISN'T!) And WHAT a garnet We have only seen one other Rose Bowl performance that was between California and Alabama every thing California not a doubt of the result from the first kick-off But while Georgia won today, 9-0, the contest was in doubt up to the final five minutes well, make it ten. At the end we have to admit UCLA wilted, the poor lads were out on their feet, but they had put up a marvelous scrap and until a touchdown was added to that with greater safety, they not only had a chance of winning but we thought good one. . However, putting on the old hard rubber nose-guard A. G. Spauldlng product of '98 and doing a bit of fancy football ex pelling, we have to say this In justice to the boys from Georgia: Had this Rose Bowl affair been entirely a sporting event played straight and not very largely a show of the Hollywood variety (which It always is) the score would have been about 40 to 0 in favor of Georgia. For while the writer's sympathies were all with UCLA (G. T. please take note!) the plain truth is the Bruins were outclassed, and only made the good score showing they did largely because of Lady Luck. . . We hate to say It, for the UCLANs did fight their hearts out and never quit but that happens to be the unvarnished abjec tive fact at least. But being PARTLY a show, and with some 90,000 people having forked over around a third of a million dollars ot see it, the Georgia coach simply had to play Slnkwlch, or 70 per cent of the paying customers would have felt they didn't get their money's worth. And that would never do in a Rose Bowl game the Pasadena Junior Chamber of Commerce would never allow It. Yea, If Coach Butts had kept the great All American Mr. Slnkwlch (where he belonged!) on the bench Georgia would have made at least one more touchdown, more likely three. And for one very simply and sufficient reason, to-wit: Half of modern football is timing the split second flash and perfect synchronization and In that kind of football a high school back with two good legs Is worth more tnan any All American with two bad ones. And Slnkwlch's ankles WERE bad very so bad that at least twice after being tackled the game kid couldn't, unassisted, get to his feet. Every time the Georgia star went into the game, there was an Immediate Georgia slump. Once he failed to make the neces sary yardage for what looked like a certain touchdown, another time he fumbled the ball, within a few feet of six points. The boy Is game has the fighting heart of a Pit bulldog, and we would take nothing from his fine display of grit, but none-the-less he never should have played at all and only the demands of Rose Bowl showmanship ever called him from the bench. As to what would have happened to the Uclans if Slnkwlch HAD BEEN IN SHAPE! Oh well, why bring that up! there would have been a massacre not a football game In Arroya Seco this beautiful New Year's Day. In fact after seeing the boys from Ed Marshall's state perform, we can't understand how Auburn or any other football team In the country ever defeated them. What power what speed and stamina physical condition? That Georgia line was charging like a lot of water buffalo at the end, just as they did at the first whistle. Incidentally this old shin-guard counselor would declare the two outstanding stars of the 1942 Rose Bowl game Messrs. Posch ner and Trlppi, of Georgia, with Waterfield of UCLA runner-up. We observed Poschner (who plays end) through the glasses a good deal, and have seen nothing to compare with It since the days of Moscrlpt of Stanford a sweet flank performer if there ever was one. It was he who blocked the punt that broke the ice for Georgia's first score the two-point safety he was after the ball from the first whistle to the last as we recall It, never taken out. "By the way", as Bill Henry remarks, Trippl Is a rather apt name for a back that trips over the turf, with the speed and de-' ception and perfect control of a Sonja Hcnle on ice! Thanks, G.

WHOLE Perhaps plain wheat may be come staple in the diet of many a lucky family. Investigation of the question of the digest! billty of wheat bran by the Home Eco nomics Bureau of the U. S. A grie u lture Depa r t m e n t showed that when normal per sons eat fine wheat Dr. Brady bran little less than one-half of the con tained protein, and a little more than one-half of the contained Carbohydrate was digested and absdrbed; when coarse bran was used, less than one-third of the protein and more than one half of the carbohydrate in the bran was digested and absorbed. Under Hindhede's observation two men lived on a diet of plain whole wheat bread and mar garine for 261 days, except for a Christmas vacation ot 22 days and a Whitsunday vacation ot 13 days, during which vacations the men ate also vegetables, and a period of 18 days during which they ate strawberries and milk. The wheat was coarsely ground at home and the bread was home baked nothing re moved from the plain wheat. The men worked part of the time in the laboratory, part of the time in the garden. Positive protein balance was maintained thruout the 261 days, digestion was good, and the men felt well and vigorous. When similar experiment was tried with re fined white bread instead ' ot whole wheat bread, the men lost strength and energy rapid ly, and suffered headaches, diz ziness and other unpleasant symptoms. Hindhede attributed the difference largely to the high biologic value of the pro tein in the bran, which supple ments the inferior protein of the kernel. He found that the bran portion of wheat is digested as thoroly and completely by man as it is by domestic animals. On request I'll mall to any' (Continued from Page One) and administered.

WHEAT one who provides three-cent-stamped envelope bearing his address pamphlet "Wheat To Eat" which tells how to use plain wheat in the daily dietary. I do not advise Invalids to eat plain wheat, unless by and with consent of their own pny- sicians. But I do urge well folk everywhere to keep a supply of plain wheat in the house and use it as a staple in the every' day diet. It may be eaten both raw and cooked. If enough of it is consumed daily, in place of refined wheat products, it will prevent or cure many common ailments for which people take far too much medicine tor the good of their health.

From coast to coast plans are beina formulated for the 1943 Victory Book Campaign in an effort to supply servicemen of this nation, wherever they may be, with suitable books. Head ing the national campaign are Franklin P. Adams, Edward L. Bemays and Norman Cousins of New York City, who are serving as co-chairmen for the sponsor ing organizations, the American Library association, the Ameri can Red Cross and the United Service organizations. The drive starts January S and will con tinue for three months. Giving weight to the Import ance of the 1943 campaign Is a statement of Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt that good books are greatly in demand by our men in service, whether on land, on sea, at home or In unidentified bases abroad. Mrs. Roosevelt appealed to all Americans to ransack their book shelves and turn over to the collection agen cies all good books which they could possibly spare. Mrs. Roosevelt's observations, based on visits to hospitals and bases, coincide with those of ranking army officers who declare that the United States has "the read ingist" army in the world. Selection Care Asked Care in the selection of the books is asked by the campaign sponsors, since about SO per cent of the books donated in the last campaign were found to be vtn suitable for distribution to the men. Mrs. Roosevelt states that she found western and detective stories were great favorites, and this is borne out by the state ments of the committee. Listed by the committee as most suitable are current best sellers, adventure and western stories, detective and mystery fiction, technical books provid' ing they were published since 1933, humorous books and pock' et books or small sized editions of popular titles. Listed among others as unsuitable were cook books, children's books or worn en's novels of Victorian vintage. Condition Important Condition of the books is also important, it being pointed out that tattered and dog-eared books are hardly worth ship ping to camps or bases where they soon are useless. The plea is for good books in good physi cal condition, as indicated by the slogan "Any book you real ly want to keep is a good book to give." Locally the books may be turned In at the public library. at the USO or at the Outpost. The books are then shipped to the pool center at Salem where they are sorted and distributed, Miss Fay Woolsey, local librar ian, states that no encampment or post of service men, no mat ter how small in numbers or how isolated, is neglected. E WILL SPEAK HERE Lecturing on "The Free French in the Present War," Count Bryon de Prorok will speak in Medford on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at the high school audi torium. Count Prorok Is being brought to Medford by the Jack son County League ot Women Voters. Count Prorok is a noted arch aeologist, explorer, author and lecturer and during 1B40 was conducting research in Africa in the very sections where the titantic struggle is now taking place between allied and axis forces. Much of the count's early left was spent in France where his titled mother held large es tates and he has firsthand know ledge of many of the French i leaders now making history in i fcurope. The count, whose title Is Pol-: ish from his father's family, is now an American citizen and has made many lecture appearances In this country, Canada and Eur ope. He speaks English without accent and reviews of past ap pearances term him a dynamic personality. There, will be no charge for the lecture.
