(From "Brochure") "In the 'Wisdom of the Overself" by Paul Brunton the mystery of consciousness with Its transitional states of sleep, dream and after-death is shown as an aspect of the Overself state-of-being, and the final purpose of human existence appears as the 'con scious merging of the person ality with that of the Divine Overself." The Dcmocratis State Finance committee has set a quota of 80 cents for each democrat, to es tablish a 1944 campaign fund with no change back from a $5 bill, in all probability. J. Tannehlll Walker, 4, who started out last, spring with a pullet named Josephine, and a rooster christened Rochester, now has four chickens, all who have iiurvived his tender care In transferring his stock from coop to coop, as occasion re quires, J.

"In the dnys when a wood shed stood behind the American home, a great deal of what now passes for Juvenile delinquency wbs settled out of court." (Ore gonlan.) But there is slim hope for the revival of this method of extinguishing "flaming youth," who ignite too easily. Willkle Hits Bulls-eye Wendell Willkle at last has got on the beam. In the "Readers Digest" for November he is given first position with a brief article entitled "Better Management, Please, Mr. President" We doubt if there is a thinking person in the coun try, regardless of party, who doesn't ask for the same thing. Dissatisfaction with the way the President has con ducted domestic affairs is practically as wide spread and universal as SATISFACTION with the way he has conducted foreign affairs including the war. The war. in fact, exhibits this democracy at Its best an achievement in 'high efficiency and re sourcefulness, which has, in our judgment, never been equalled in the history of the world. The conduct of domestic business, on the other hand, not only during the war but before it, has ex hibited this democracy at its worst bungling, waste ful, impractical, confused, IN brief space, but cogent forceful phrasing, the 1940 Republican leader makes his points. Here are a few taken at random : "No less than 14 agencies have a hand In labor relations. There are 49 federal corporations and credit agencies lending government funds. Here are some (not all) of the agencies with fingers In the control of sugar: FDA, CCC, FPA, OEW, OPA, WPB. WSA, OLLA. Recently the need arose for day nurseries, a single organization could have done the job, the Roosevelt administration created 8." And so on and so forth ad infinitum. And Author Willkie concludes: "There is only one person who can correct this govern ment mismanagement. That person Is the President himself. Of all that Is wrong with the President's administrators , there Is nothing that better administration by the President could not remedy." Absolutely correct! We venture to say there is hardly a member of the government itself in Washington, D. C, regard less of party who, OFF THE RECORD, would not support this statement The alibi heard on all sides in Washington in fact, is the President is not INTER ESTED in administration, authority to anyone else. - Y2S, here Mr. Willkie nov rlirf of lnnt I'u.

For in this direction of istration Wendell Willkie Franklin Delano Roosevelt war and anti-Axis as the a position to not only issue the indictment STICK. Over On Marshfield and North Coos Bay, vote on a consolidation plan the first week in November. The surprising thing is be taken but that it was not passed many years ago. Medford people frequently visit Coos Bay, and we doubt if any ever returned without wondering why these two municipalities, with only a 1200-strip separating them, have gone their separate and ex pensive ways all these years. IT is as if Medford, east of Bear Creek were one 1 municipality, and Medford west of it were an en tirely separate one each with its own fire depart ment, school system, police department and what have you a complete and needless duplication and expense all around with benefit to no one. Marshfield and North physically, with a combined population about that of Medford's the same kind of people, the same kind of houses, customs, language, business and profes sional interests, climate, etc., etc., etc. They are, prac tically speaking, as closely knitted together geo graphically, as East and West Medford, and yet they are as iar apart politically, as JUedford and Eugene. a t IT doesn't make sense. 1 And as far as this department is concerned never has made sense. Yet there must have been some rea son for it in the past and from the reports we get, there is some opposition to the merger into one muni cipality now. From this distance such to understand. Why such a logical move should be opposed by anyone, in either place at this time is difficult to explain. But mere may be something in the saitv atmos phere of Coos Bay which nere in jacKson bounty. At least we grant it is their affair, not ours, and we have no doubtthat is the feeling over there. Per haps the election result will clear up the mystery. Here's hoping.

Both the title and the inspi ration for the article -were taken from a paper on ger iatrics (the branch of med ical science which treats of the aged In their physio loci c a 1 and Dr. Brady pathological re lations) by Dr. Frederick W. Fil- slnger, in the Bulletin of the Erie County Medical Society, Buffalo, N. Y. One typical observation of Dr. Filslnger's I quoted because It seemed to illustrate in a home ly way why he has had such suc cess In the new specialty. He reminded his medical readers that "Many of the old folks are sadly neglected and ' misunderstood, many of their homes are very de pressing, there is a lack of . cheer, good food, fuel, warm clothing and warm socks which contribute so much to their comfort and happi ness." Since then I have been trvlna to persuade Dr. Filsinger that if he doesn't exactly owe it to "the forgotten people" he is eminent ly fitted to confer a boon upon them he should put some of his wisdom in book form and make It available for such peo ple everywhere. But the doctor. I fear. Is working as hard as ever, and I detect a somber shade in his statement that he will per haps be more enthusiastic to undertake it later when he can eliminate some of his office hours and I wonder If that time ever does come In the life of a faithful family physician. Of the several textbooks on Geriatrics recently published, Dr. tllsinger recommends Strelg Utz's Geriatric Medicine (Saun ders) and Thewlls's Car of the Aged (Mosby). In reply to my ul timatum he pleads his obligation not to desert in the face of the present shortage of physicians, and adds that if he could retire from active practice he might News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued from Page on.) aimed at the source of military power of our enemies. We can win the war the way we are going, but it may take months or years. Has not the time arrived for reconsideration, for another Roosevelt-Churchill conference perhaps, to look afresh at the condition of the battle line and to plan new decisive ventures which will save lives by straight, strong action?

Fourth Orofon District Washington, D. C- Oct. (Special Correspondence) Ap parently the fuss that has been so effectively stirred up by the members of congress from Ore gon and Washington regarding the development of a domestic source of aluminum from clay is having a healthy effect. I have heard unofficially that the alum-ina-frora-clay plants may be ap proved in the near future. The facts are so compelling in favor of this development, however, that It seems almost a certainty that this report, unofficial as it is, must be correct. It is unfortunate but true that decisions both for and against the production of alumina-from-clay have been kicked around Washington for more than six months. When the various war agency committees and the light metals , divisions of WPB had finally been cleared, the ques tion was up for final decision by the WPB itself. In June, the three proposed plants were ap proved. Then, during the sum mer came word that the propos ed plant for the Northwest was denied because of the manpower situation. Back in Washington after the recess, members of congress were Informed that the man power trouble was not the real reason for stopping the alumina- from-clay development. It was then stated that all three plants were denied because they were not needed. Mr. Wilson (acting WPB head) told us In the heat of the discussion last week that the plana had not only been denied once, but three times, by his Production Executive Commit- e. The members of the com mui;' were present when he said it, by the way. Now they have apparently seen the light. I hope so. THE house voted Thursday to repeal the Chinese exclusion act and permit entrance of Chinese on a quota basis. Actually this is simply a friendly gesture to a valiant ally In our desperate war. It will not let down the bars to Immigration nor will it flood the country with Chinese as some opponents of repeal would have us believe. No more than 105 Chinese will be ad mitted annually and obviously none at all can cross the Pacific while the war is on. The Chinese exclusion act is sue had considerable political dynamite in it. Apparently the leaders of both sides of the house did not want record vote on the question. Everyone agreed that the bill would surely pass, but there was no way to be certain how the record vote would look as to party division. Neither party wanted to appear as the party opposed to the repeal an election year being Just around tne corner. -Consequently, by the simple parliamentary expedient of hav ing a quorum call (roll call of the house to see if a quorum is present, which is done when member makes the point that no quorum is present) an automatic roll call on passage of the bill was avoided. When the bill was up for final passage, the speaker called a voice vote and declared the bill passed before any de mand for a record vote a vote by "yeas" and "nays" could be made. . e THREE times this week 1 at tended meetings that were billed as "strictly off the record." Be ing fairly large meetings, I doubt very much, however, that the proceedings of any of them were actually kept secret. As a matter of fact, I did not hear or see anything at any one of the three sessions barring perhaps some specific statistics that could do any damage in print. The first of the off-record ses sion was a meeting; of Republi can members of the house. I be lieve some 200 members were present to hear Senator Brewster of Maine tell about his trip, around the world and to the var ious battle fronts this summer with the party of senators. The reports of the five senators have been covered at some length in various press reports. Brewster spoke frankly but in so far as giving any additional "inside dope" was concerned, I failed Long Island City, N. Y. Bottlina Company oi Mtdferd) to hear much along that llna. The aecond "off the record meeting was our 78-club session Tuesday night. The new Repub lican members new members of the 78th congress-get-together for dinner every Tuesday ave- nlng at the Continental hotel, one of the hotels in the vicinity of Union Station, and quite close to the capital. We usually have a amest sneaker and have had many men of prominence before us, including Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, Admiral rar nall, Harold Stassen, Bob Pat terson, etc. Our committee on programs long ago decided to have every potential Republican presidential candidate appear so that we could look them over so to speak. We expect to have Mr. Bricker of Ohio, Mr. Dewey of New York and any other prominently mentioned. This week Mr. Willkie spoke. The news that Wendell Willkle was scheduled to speak to the new Republican members ot con gress created quite a little stir. We decided to Include guests permitting each 78-club member to bring only one guest, said guest being a member of con gress. The meeting was lammed. It is our custom to have a ques tion period following the speech. Only club members were permitted to ask questions and tney were amply po ted. 1 would list some, with sir an swers, but as previously stated it wag oil the record! I can state, however, that Mr. Willkle did not at any time state specifi cally that he is a candidate for the presidency. In other words, it was not an announcement party but everyone obviously believes and understands that he is going to be a candidate for the nomination. Wednesday morning, at the in vitation of the T.ar department conveyed to the members of the house by Speaker Sam Ravburn. the entire membership of the nouse oi representatives as sembled in the auditorium nf the Library of Congress and heard an "off the record" report on the war. The meeting began at 8:45 ana continued through until 12:30. We heard Secretary of war atimson, General Marshall, Assistant Secretary Patterson and several other ton nfflrura speak, and we were shown sev eral motion pictures of the war. One of the best reels of pic tures was the one now in the news reels showing the low level bombing and machinn-etmnlns t Wewak. The program was splen didly handled. I think the mem- oers oi the house now have a complete picture and under standing oi tne war how it Is being fought, where the fighting is taking place, what the results nave Deen, wnat our progress is and why we will finally win. The talk, illustrated with charts by the chief of army Intelligence, on the subject of enemv re sources, was particularly reveal ing in that it dispelled any fool ish optimism. The enemies are not impoverished and ready to vuuapse. Flight o- Tune Medford and Jackaor Co.
