ML Louia, Atlanta, Vancouver, a. a Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Germany has promised inde pendence to the Balkan states. This will be a good trick as she has none herself under Nazism. . One of the snappier para graphers of the land suggests, had Italy been one of the demo cracies, "the fallen Duce could have hung around Rome and opened a law office." Under the American democracy fal len statesman, overwhelmingly defeated by his constituents sticks around Washington until appointed to better job at higher pay. ' . There are many signs Indian summer approacheth. This is one season of the year not blamed upon the aborigines and nobody wants to give it back to them. One school of military thought now holds the Nazis are on the lam, out of Russia as the first steps to dickering with Premier Stalin for peace. Another school holds this will happen about the time Josef whittles his prodigious current handle-bar mustache into one of the dinkier C. Chaplin models. ' Journalistic lightning struck twice in the same place today. Both the esteemed Oregonian and the esteemed Journal print ed the same "filler" on their editorial pages. This was it, duly credited to the Washington Navy Yard Station Bulletin: Teacher Name five things that contain milk. Johnnie Butter, cheese, Ice cream and two cows. Lord Mountbatten, appointed . commander of the Burma front, and cousin of the King of Eng land, has two good luck charms, viz.: button off the coats of General Marshall and Admiral King, high aces of the American army and navy. Now all he needs is the horseshoe off the left htnd-leg of the Imperial mule. e YOUTH ON THE ORIDDLEI (Lakevlew (Ore.) Examiner) "The time Is at hand when the young people who have run the tires off their cars during the summer are now demanding that the ration boards rush through their ap plication for tires so that they may attend school. It is our opinion that too many stud ents ride to school who could walk just as easily the short distances they have to travel." ... Republicans In congress pro pose a federal sales tax. mere is a hunk of political dynamite that causes statesmen to swoon and labor leaders to loudly scream. The Sales Tax has one unforgivable fault. Nobody can act out of paying it. In this state it is regarded with nerve chilling horror and a tidal wave of tear-yanking speeches by can didates for the legislature. It was always admitted it would bring In the revenue spondu licks, but on the other hand "take the bread out of the mouth of the worker" and leave the farmer with no handles for his clow. FROST ON THE ROMANCE (Love Agony Col.) "Mv dear Miss Grey: I am 22 years old, a senior In college and friends tell me I am - quite attractive. For nine months I have been keeping company with nice young man of my own age. A few days ago he escorted me home, and em braced me without my permis sion. I ran into the house, and have not spoken to htm since. I met him again yesterday, and he spoke, and said, "How is the Ire water kid?" He never acted that way before, and I did not reply. Did I do right, and please tell me what to do? ANXIOUS." ClosJnit Urn. (or SunrUy Too tat, to Cluelfy. s SO Saturday afternoon Don If Be a Sapl Let us imagine that Henry Ford should visit Medford and among other things offer to sell $100 bills for $97.50 cash. Would anyone who could scrape up the $97.60 miss the golden opportunity of making a profit like that? And knowing Henry Ford there would be no suspicion of the century note being counterfeit , WELL with only slight modifications, that is what Uncle Sam is offering the People of Medford in this 3d war loan drive. A war bond is precisely the same as cash. It has the same backing as a greenback of the Bame denomination has. When you buy war bonds you are buying money. Only the bond has this added value. If you put the $100 bill in your safety deposit box, and leave it there a year, you can be sure to have it 12 months hence. But that is all you will have. Put the $100 bond there and you will have not only the $100 bond but $2.50 in addition. "VES we are a trifle tired of hearing how patriotic and self sacrificing this war-bond buying is. The patriotic part of it is ok, for this bond money IS essential to success on the fighting front, an investment in the safety and security and well being of the present and future generations of this country. But self sacrifice, NOl There is no more self sacrifice involved than putting money in the bank. Thi3 bond buying isn't a duty, it is a privilege. The more the individual or the company can put into war bonds the better off that individual or company is going to be. AS the drive nears an end, we think this fact " should be more strongly emphasized. Not only are these war bonds a good invest ment, they are all in all the SAFEST and BEST INVESTMENT that any one could make in the present condition of the country and the world. The individual with idle money to invest who fails therefore to buy all he can of these war bonds isn't half as much a slacker as a SAP! Plenty of Money? Speaking of money, there are some bright spots in the current government fiscal report, compared with a year ago. In the last 12 months for example Uncle Sam has spent a little over 11 billions for war. In the preceding 12 months the total for war was $13,-769,139,386. Federal receipt for the same two periods show a startling improvement; ie: the past 12 months over 9 billion, the preceding 12 months less than 4 1 The respective cash balances, however, are sen sational. The past year shows a cash balance as of this date of $15,748,495,6451 On the same date last year the cash balance was less than 3 billion, $2,656,124,913 to be exact The "working balances" stack up to approxi mately 15 billion for the present date, to only $1,893,645,770 of a year ago. 'THESE are the government's official figures through September 24 as announced by the United Press. We admit we don't know exactly what they mean in the learned jargon of high finance but even from the standpoint of Robert Benchley's treasurer's report they certainly show a condition of robust monetary health 1 Planning for Youth llITH America's mounting might sweeping down upon the Axis foes and the "ultimate triumph" reasonably assured, post-war planning is receiving more and more attention from confident and fore sighted people. Much study is being given to America's future, economically and politically, and rightly so. But post-war planning will fall woefully short of its goal UNLESS considered thought and practical action are taken to develop morally, men tally and physically the nation's greatest resource its youth. Many mental and physical short-comings of young American manhood were brought to light m we seiecuve service, nau una nation, wiin us boasted social advancements and industrial attain' ments, paid greater attention to its youth after the last war there would be far fewer rejections for military service today and many manpower prob lems in this great emergency would be solved. THE need for strengthening the moral fibre of boys and girls is increasingly apparent today. The increase in juvenile delinquency since Pearl Harbor has been alarming. Those wno have read the reports of the FBI in recent months cannot help but be shocked. Recent disruptions in the economic and social status of the population in many cities and the resultant increased congestion are obvious factors. Youthful criminals and zoot-suit juveniles are a product of the times. A ND so, public recognition of the youth problem " is urgently needed. Here is a challenge to the schools and churches of tomorrow a challenge that will call for the greatest of wisdom and energy, Full support and encouragement must be assured them in farsighted post-war planning.

Address Dr. WllXlera Brady, 265 El Camlno, Bererly Hills, Calif. RELAXATION IS A. .NATURAL, FAULT On the basis of the copies that . golf, tennis, one old cat, horse- have come to this column in the past five years, I estimate that a ten-foot book shelf would not hold the weird new books about health that are p u b 1 lshed in America in that period. Only a few of them are by physi cians. More are by near doctors or queer doc- Or. Brady tors persons who assume the title of "doc tor." A notable characteristic of most of these freak books is that they sell like hot cakes for a season or until the credulous market Is saturated, and then they pass into desuetude. Many of them deal with nerv ousness, nervous weakness, neu rasthenia, brain fag, nerve strain, how to control your nerves, how to relax. Since the hcydey of the "rest cure" and the private sanitarium the idea of relaxation has be come fixed in the consciousness of the laity and it has been ac cepted by some physicians as a desirable or essential thing for nervous people. If the doctor doesn't advise it, relatives or friends of the patient are likely to advise that "you must relax," implying that relaxation coun teracts the great tension, strain or high pressure of your social. domestic, business or profession al cares and responsibilities. Un derlying this naive notion is the flattering suggestion that a per son of your importance or posi tion necessarily has to expend an enormous amount of nervous energy and a'.l that malarkey. What most Yankee neurotics sorely need to keep them better balanced is not relaxation nor rest, but work, play, exercise. It would be boon to the wel fare of our people if some health police could be stationed at the turnstiies or entrances to the naseDau diamond, the football field, the boxing stadium, the race track, and require everyone to show evidence that he or she has done a reasonable amount of honest work, taken a reason able amount of exercise or played a reasonable amount .of shoes, quoits, croquet, bowls, whatever game or games one likes, In the course of the week, as a requisite for admission to the show. Most of the people who look on while others play the game or take the exercise or do the work should, for the good of their health, play the game, or some game themselves. Neurotics get that way largely by taking their exercise and getting their thills or excitement or diversion vi cariously, plaving the game In the imagination, like children crouched by the radio vicarious ly playing cops and robbers. Relaxation my eye. Come on, try a little oxygen on the hoof If you're too stiff or timid to get Into a mora absorbing game.

Lieuten ant General McNarney, deputy chief of staff; Lieutenant Gen eral McNald, in charge of train ing, and Lieutenant General Somervell, of services of supply, have been suggested. News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Contlnuad from Pag, Oca) THE officially inspired press atnrio. u0iAt0iJ that an an nouncement would be made at the president's press conference on Friday, but the conference was called off. Marshall has many friends In Washington and powerful sup port for retaining him in his present position. He gets along exceptionally well with con gressmen. Both the house and senate military affairs commit tees like him, and most of them would not like to see him go. The only criticism heard of Marshall by anyone here has come from advocates of bril liant and fast military action who consider his war strategy to be methodical. Instead of at tempting amazing exploits, the whole American strategy in both the Atlantic and the Pacific so far has been to bide Its time un til it could accumulate superior numbers and forces and then do the expected more often than the unexpected. This is especially true of the course of the Mediterranean at tack from Tunisia to Sicily to Italy, although the original Tu nisian landing in the German rear could hardly be considered In this category. The kind of military tactics that are good are those that are successful, whether they are me thodical or dashing. . e APPOINTMENT of a top over ' all man to coordinate the ac tivities In both the Atlantic and the Pacific so that blows may be i timed properly would seem to be a good idea. The time has come when some of the fleet can be released from the Mediter ranean and the diminution of submarine warfare in the Atlan tic should permit the concentra tion of additional vessels for the Pacific offensive which was promised as the primary an nouncement of the Quebec con ference. However, the Job may not be as big as the title, as strategy has Deen decided. Generals McNalr and McNar ney are both what might be called old army men, while Gen eral Somervell was out of the army for some time, particularly while he was In WPA work In New York, and Is a friend of Harry Hopkins, the president's right-hand man. The choice of Somervell would be Interpreted as an effort by Mr. Roosevelt to put his own man in charge there, and would not be popular with congress where Hopkins' friends do not have many friends, or at least a majority of them right now. But, in view of all the factors involved, the course of events had Indicated much speculation has gone awry, also that the president has not made up his mind what to do when the un official announcements were made in the press, or last Friday when the official announcement was due. V.F.W. CHIEF ASKS ADDED BENEFITS FOR SERVICEMEN New York, Sept, 28 0J.R) A postwar veterans welfare pro gram expanding the proposals recently made by President Roosevelt for returning service men was advocated today by Robert T. Merrill, of Havre, Mont., commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the opening of a three-day national convention. Asserting that the benefits proposed by the president were ''good as far as they go but they don't go far enough," Merrill submitted for convention ap proval a 10-point program. The program included: Continuation of pay for six months of all honorably dis charged; federal aid for those whose education was interrupt ed; government hospital care and treatment; pensions and compen sation payments fixed on cost- of-living preference on all gov ernmental employment; 10 per cent of employes on federal con tract supply and construction work to be veterans; pension en titlement to widows and orph ans, regardless of service-con nected disabilities; pension en titlement to veterans "who are unemployable, unable to obtain employment, or 10 per cent or more disabled;" increased pen sion allowance of 20 per cent for those who served in combat zones, and continuation of the veterans' administration as an independent federal agency with exclusive jurisdiction over the returned soldiers. The latter point was believed directed against a reported move in Washington to give the social Security board control of vet erans' welfare machinery.
