From the standpoint of the war, which of course is the most important thing, 1942 did a grand Job with Garrison finish. The entire complexion of this epoch ii.sk ing conflict was transformed in the final three months of the 12 from defensive, losing war to an offensive and winning one. So history will put old 1942 in high niche in the hall of fame. But from a purely personal standpoint the year wasn't so hot and on the whole Lady Luck took a complete vacation. The details, however, are scarcely of sufficient general Interest to chronicle here though they would interest the False Friends club. Personal Health Service Br William Brady. H.

Ye Smudge Pot By Atthui Parry The "White Book" issued by the state department reveals that as early as 1932, it was known the Japanese had plans for a mass attack on Pearl Har bor. A few years later, America with great avidity, was selling the planned, scrap metal no end. .... Stockholm reports the worry and work of war is turning Hitlers hair noticeably gray This should not alter the Rus sian determination to "snatch him baldheaded," militarily speaking. ... . A report from New York state reveals a 07-year-old grandmoth ' er cooked a Christmas dinner lor 11 people. Many paragraph- era throughout the land have ask: "Did she also wash the dishes?" ... A hill resident showed up this morning, with the word he had tried the president's recipe for secona-nana coffee, boiled from used grounds, and hereafter waa voting the republican ticket. y ... HO. 1 SCREWY MOTION (Astoria Astorian-Budget) The serious suggestion that Liberty ship be named for Harry Bridges, leader in a r CIO group which, until Rus ' sis was attacked, was delay ing American war production, la shocking. Not only, should the idea be repudiated, but the person who sponsored it in the Maritime Commission be relieved from any type of duty which requires sound Judgment" ... The weather has turned chilly. This should not alarm the troops. Just because it has been rainier than New Guinea, is no sign it is going to be colder than the Steppes beyond the Don. ... The picture on the cover page of the current "Life," looks like District Attorney Geo. Nellson, nut it's assistant to the president, James Brynes of North Carolina a e e Wilbur Webster and B. Orr were both busy on their week ends painting their interiors. From this hotel room we can look across the bay toward Marin County where yesterday four airplanea crashed FOUR of them! Yesterday's air attack on Germany from England only cost five. And now in the morning paper we read about two more, one in Montana, another near Tampa, Florida. In all 18 killed. And in each case apparently the cause was not bad flying or careless ness but the weather. We realize the official answer will be the tremendous number of planes in the air, and no doubt that is a big factor, but we still contend there is too great a tendency to send up inexperienced pilots in dangerous weather. True war is more dangerous, but even in combat they make allowances for the weather, so certainly even greater allowances should be made In training. The old editorial noggin is still vibrating from that bus trip In the veteran of the Marne certainly we got our exercise that day, whether we liked it or not. The young driver's hands vibrated un the steering wheel so violently a candid camera would have shown them approximately the size of hams. Experts might guage the age of the conveyance closely by noting the speedometer was made of brass, not much larger than a wrist watch and was connected with a brass-ring curving contraption which wound like a snake through the footboard. The speed seldom exceeded 35 miles an hour but the sensation was one of headlong flight the commotion was so tremendous. But of course one has no right to complain. The Greyhound not only doesn't solicit business, but pays good money in advertis ing to shoo it away. So does the S. P. for that matter and when the S. P. refuses to take the money, BROTHER, there IS some thing new afoot! One wonders what the travel would be if the people were not advised against it, or the usual effort made to get it. As It is there were three busses from Redding to San Franclso, all full to the doors, and in most of the busses passen gers were standing in the aisles. The larger stations along the way were packed like big-game entrances 10 minutes before the whistle. Certainly if transportation business doesn't prosper these times there must be something seriously amiss somewhere. ..... To old friends of the Fairmont in 'the valley it might be of interest to learn a coffee shop has been opened in the catacombs that it beneath the lobby floor. The Fairmont is one of the few modern and popular big city establishments which has operated throughout the coffee shop era without one. The main dining room and the Venetian room were the only places one could eat until the Circus bar was opened but at last the old gal we always think of the Fairmont somehow as feminine a Mid-Victorian dowager with a rope of pearls dangling from a very ample bossom has succumbed, when one wonders if it is too late.

Ms El Camina, Beverly Hills, Calif. WHOSE COMFORT ZONET W Well, we hope, not. Somehow San Francisco would not be San Francisco without the stately Fairmont on the top of Knob Hill, Just as certainly a fitting monument to a distinguished plu tocratic era that has passed as the Acropolis in Athena. ..... Everyone is preparing for grand whoopee tonight and cer tainly when it comes to grand whoopee with a capital W and yet in smart style with nothing cheap, San Francisco, of all places on this giddy planet, has what it takes. We have a reservation on the Lark however and ye editor will celebrate the birth of the new year in the arms of Morpheus all wrapped up in a tan Pullman blanket, en route of all places to Los Angeles! Might aa well publish our birth certificate as confess to that, but strange as it may seem, the evidences of Impending hulabaloo red, white and blue horns stacked up in the Cirque Room for example, don't Intrigue your correspondent even a little bit. ..... We spent Christmas Eve on a Pullman once not deliberately but it was a most interesting and enjoyable experience. That was on a railroad known as the Grand Trunk and the snow slide was somewhere near Montreal as we recall it. We were expected home Christmas morning but didn't get there until the 26th and had another Christmas, with more combined gayety and rejoicing In the two Chrlstmases than had ever been the case before, or since. And did we live high all Christmas Day at Mr. Pulman's exDense! Oh that was a number of years ago we recall distinctly the Can adian Pullman illuminated the proceedings with soma form of coal-gas lamps with colored glass covers! (If that doesn't date it for you then you better skip It!) R.WJt. A household temperature of 65 to 68 F, regardless of the method of heating, Is more com' fortable for old and young alike than a temperature of 70 to 75 F. if the air is kept fairly well conditioned by constant evap oration of wa ter, either at the central source of heat ing or in the Dr. Brady room or rooms most used by ocu pants. This is no theory. It is an observation any householder may make for himself, I satisfied myself that u is true by ten years of cruel experimentation on my family in a targe barrack In an Isolated settlement midway between nocnester, w. y. and Hamilton. Ontario, where the breeze from Lake Erie blew thru Tony's whiskers (Tony the Wirish Ter ror) when we ventured out in the snow drifts in the hope of catching a neighbor's dog un guarded. What do you mean, how did my family like it? We're still on speaking terms. There was lust one undeilr. able circumstance in the exrjer. iment. I mention it here for the benefit of readers who may wish to investigate the question for tnemseives. I never contrived to sequestrate all thermometers. When I thought I had every thing under control somebody would smuggle in a thermome ter, discover the temperature was only 87 maybe, and com plain bitterly . . . just as a mat tag." Anent the question of the "comfort zone" it it as mislead ing to rely on a thermometer alone as it is to be guided by the sensations or feelings of occu pants in regulating the atmos pheric condition in living room bedroom, workroom, schoolroom. office, theatre, church or shop. One who has Just a little knowledge of the usual range of temperature indoors but no knowledge of the modifying ef fect of humidity is too likely to Infer that a temperature below 70 degrees is too low for comfort. As for personal sensations or feelings, It it notorious that at mospheric conditions which are comfortable for the young folk are too chilly for grandma, and when the hothouse atmosphere suits grandma it it Intolerable for the young folk. In an early quarrel well tee whether we can reach a fair com promise on the question. ter of form. There was also one lmrjedl ment in my study we used in dividual humidifiers on each of 10 or a dozen radiators in the house, and it was my chore to tote all the water to these hu midifiers daily. You know me, all. So on many dayt the hu midifiers ran out of water and the master of the house had to talk fast when the guinea pigs squawked about the atmos pheric condition. Still we learned enough from the test to know that it Is much better in every way to evaporate a lew more gallons of water in the heated air of the house than it is to burn a few more buckets of coal gallons of oil or cubic feet of gas.

"' anuuoe equitable distribution can be maae of the supplies which we win nave here at home. Share for All Is Aim To allow our civilian supplies to flow from processors to whole salers to retailers and finally to tne consumer, without regard for fair distribution, would cre ate fatal inequities. When sup plies are limited by war needs, they cannot be distributed on a "first-come-first-served basis." It is the government's respon sibility to assure every citizen an opportunity to get hit fair share and the onlv mpjin achieve that highly desirable fr anv Zli'an. !

Registration for war ration book two will provide for consumer declaration" of all commercially processed fruits w ln "lion book Is issued. 'form the public and the trade of their responsibilities and of j the mechanlct of the plan. For that reason we are ap pealing to every citizen to un derstand first, that he must play fair with the nation't food tup ply; second, that there it no Justification for ruthing out to the nearest grocery and stocking up; third, that whatever foods to be rationed which he hat on hand he will have to declare be fore getting a ration book. Rationing will be precedentea by a brief suspension of retail sale, so that retailers may have an opportunity to prepare for operations under the program. Issuance of new war ration books will take place during this period and upon the effective date of the program retailers should be in a position to honor ration stamps for all consumers. Very few commercially pro cessed fruits and vegetables will be exempt from the rationing regulations, whether in the re tail store or already ln the cup board of a consumer. Embraced ln the broad cate gories of rationed items are more than 200 kinds of fruit. and vegetables, juices and soups, and a great variety of brands,! grade, and sizes and shapes of containers. Purchasing Simple The mechanics of their pur chase by the public under the program are simple. With a few minor exceptions, such as individuals living in in stitutions every member of the civilian population from the new born infant to the oldest inhabitant will have exactly the same number of points to spend during each ration period. These periods will be announced ln advance. Point value, will be identical in every .tore in the country and a housewife may .hop for the family ln any store she likes. The new point "currency" for processed foods will be repre sented by the blue stamps in war ration book two, which contains both red and blue stamps. There are a total of 98 blue stamps and a numeral on the face of each show, its point value. Each stamp also bears a letter of the alphabet. These letter, designate the ration period when .tamps may be used. For example, all blue stamps bearing the letters A and B: or A through F; or any other com bination, might be designated for use during a specific period Since each letter of the alphabet appear, on stamp, totaling 16 points one 8, ' one "a," one '2," and one "1" the letters made valid ln any one period determine the number of points that may be spent to buy the rationed foods. If only A and B stamps were validated, only 32 points could be spent during the first ration period, while If stamps marked A through F were designated, the holder would have 86 points to spend. Three Main Points There are three Important facts to be remembered in this connection: 1. The total number of points that will be allotted to each civilian has not yet been deter mined; nor has the specific point value of any of the foods to be rationed. Points will be set for each commodity according to itt supply at the time the ration per- ioa is announced. 2. Possession of point, merelv entitles you to buy your share; you must pay for the rationed merchandise, as usual, in dol. lars and cents. 3. The housewife has comnlete freedom of choice. She can snend her points any way the wishes. although, of course, the items that are scarce will have a hleh- er point value, and hence, will use up ner points faster. food stores will be renutred to display prominently an nffl. clal OPA poster showing point vaiues oi tne various kinds of rationed foods according to con tainer size. A. point values are changed to reflect the .hlfting suppiy situation, new nostra win oc issuea. It 1. not expected that it will ce more buying largely to the thing, that hava low point values, ou will get mora for your stamps. There art three main points the consumer should remember about war ration book two: 1. The color of the stamps (there are both red and blue) identifies the rationed commodi. ties. Blue for the processed foods program. Red will be used later for meats. 2. The letter of the alphabet on the stamp designates the ra tion oeriod during which the stamp may be used. These per iods will be announcea in aa vance. 3. The number on the stamp it itt point value. The storekeeper uses the point stamps he collects to buy from hit supplier with complete free dom of choice. He can use points taken In for com, for example, to buy asparagus, or any other of the rationed items, according to the requirement, of his business. The supplier. In turn uset the stamps to buy from the canner, or from another supplier again with the freedom of choice. Since the point values are the same in every store throughout the nation, the retailers bus! ness in these rationed foods will be limited only by the point value of the stamps he takes in from his customers. This, plus his freedom of choice in re stocking rationed foods, main tain, competition in the trade. The point system require, a minimum of record keeping on the part of the storekeeper.
