Vancauvar, b. a OlE Point Mtmln Ptl lUTIM Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry ' In military circles contro versy is now going on over the merits and de-merits of daylight and night bombings. As long as the bomb explodes, scattering the enemy war plants over the abutting scenery, what differ ence does It make whether It happens at high noon or black midnight. The dogs that last summer were running through the Vic tory gardens of the Older Girls are now busy tracking mud on the front porches. ... Commentators now agree the Narl "morale is cracked." Why only mention their "morale?" The Mikado, In a high state of jitters, reports to the Diet, the war situation .Is "truly grave." The military forces are urged to become "a ball of fire." The loss of more than 800 planes in recent Allied smashes indicate they are at taining this end faster than by investigating an empty gas tank with a lighted match. A COMPLIMENT BACKFIRES! (Klamath Falls Herald-News) "She laughed that off with the statement that women would know when the offer was legitimate and would - gladly accept such a ride.

Tha Russians' drive for Krlvol Rog. Tha place sounds like the nam of the villain In movie horror picture. The rains put the ground in shape for fall plowing and caused farmers to rejoice. Some came to town to do it and others went duck hunting. ... Sentiment for Prohibition in Oregon is growing, reports say.

What is the Southern Pacific a private business cr a public utility? The answer of course is the latter it is a public utility, one of the largest in the United States. But one would never imagine this after reading a statement by Mr. F, S. McGinnis, S. P. vice president, circulated recently over the state under the title: "The Facts About Southern Oregon Train Service." ..... MOT a word in the 16-page brochure about any obr ligation of public service in Southern Oregon: any duty that should be performed by reason of that fact particularly to the thousands of soldiers now training in this section of the state. Not a word ! But word after word, and page after page, show ing WHAT? In a nut shell merely this: That of the two S. P. routes maintained from Oregon to Califor nia, the Klamath route is straighter, lower grade and cheaper to operate.than the Medford route, that's all. Therefore, the Southern Pacific must send ALL through passenger trains over the Klamath, send NONE not even ONE through passenger train over the Medford route! MOT that cost is admitted as a factor. Quite the con ' trary. It is explicitly denied. The war, and short age of rolling stock, particularly helper engines, are given as the main reasons for depriving Southern Ore gon and Camp White of any through passenger serv ice. But analyze this alibi for a moment: IT is admitted that extra epuipment including en- gines can be and have been rented by the Southern Pacific. That while the S. P. is using all its equip ment, other railroads are not, and extra equipment, therefore, can be had. If then money IS no object, and the desire to give Southern Oregon adequate passenger service is the S. P.'s earnest wish as claimed WHY not rent, say one engine (and making the total 20 instead of 19), one helper engine, and four or five cars, and run one train a day from Medford to Dunsmuir, California, a distance of only 100 miles7 a jtORE should be done of course but that is all the people of Southern Oregon and the command at Camp White have demanded just one train a day to be combined say at Dunsmuir with a through train to San Francisco. But that has been refused, as practically every other request that Southern Oregon has ever made of the Southern Pacific has been refused unless the S. P. could see a sure and handsome profit in it ..... AND so it all does come down to dollars nd then all that the operation of such a train would in volve would be extra money, and very little, enough to operate a short train one hundred miles over a steeper grade, than over the Natron cut-off. That's all. Then why not do it? DUT if money were no factor, if all the statements in this pamphlet were true which they are not the fact would still remain the Southern Pacific is not a private business that can do as it wills, but a public utility that has obligations of public service. And re gardless of profits, or anything else the S. P. there fore nas certain obligations to the public which should oe performed. And one of them is unquestionably to mve ade quate train service, particularly where a monopoly is enjoyea as is uie case nere in Southern Oregon and the service is urged by the army in time of war! a a THIS principle is recognized by every public utility in wit; vuuiiujr cAtcpb uio u. . xttivc uie cuiioyi- vania railroad, for example. It has two routes be tween Chicago and New York as the S. P. has between Portland and San Francisco. One is direct and short ertherefore cheaper the other veers south to Col umbus, Ohio. If the Pennsylvania did as the S. P. does. ALL passenger trains of course would be run on the more direct, shorter and cheaper route. None on the longer and more expensive one. In which case Columbus, Ohio, and one of the most thickly populated sections of that state would have no through passenger serv ice whatever. IMAGINE the Pennsylvania railroad trying to get 1 away with a thing like that! Yet that is precisely what the S. P. IS getting away with in this state, as lar as Medford and THE MOST THICKLY POPU LATED SECTION OF OREGON (outside of Port land; is concerned. QR take the California-Oregon Power company, v another public utility. We have no statistics at hand but no doubt to furnish electricity to a ranch in tne Appiegate costs more than to furnish a ranch m frospect or a house in Medford. It might even be true that a single Appiegate operation would lose money. But would Copco refuse to furnish electric service to all ranches in the Appiegate? Hardly. Copco WOULD if it followed the Southern Pacific prece- aemi SO one might go on indefinitely thruout the public lltilltv ODIMM n ft rf iViA .imimIw T- iviJ ,1.3 tt.t 1 am social principle could be more clearly established than this one of public obligation. Yet as far as this official S. P. statement is concerned the Southern Pacific has never heard of it. And certainly as far as this section of the state is concerned the S. P. ha3 never PRACTICED it I THAT is why we have public utility commissions to 1 FORCE public service corporations to give the people adequate and economical service at a fair price when such is refused. And if the problem here were an INTRAstate instead of an INTERstate one, the Public Utility commission of Oregon would have forced the S. P. to give Medford and Camp White the through train service demanded, long ago. But unfortunately it isnt However, the O.D.T., which has interstate jurisdiction, has been consider ing the problem and the complaints of both this com munity and the army for some time. Hope for relief from that quarter has not been entirely abandoned. But hope of the S. P. ever remedying the condition unless COMPELLED to by some authority stronger than it is, HAS BEEN and this official statement by the vice president of the company merely confirms it Personal Health Service Br William Brady.

THE VALUE OF CALCIUM Whether taken as food or as medicine calcium controls neuro muscular (nervous) irritability, aids vigorous contraction of the heart muscle and therefore, in my opinion, may be regarded as a heart tonic, at least for those who suf fer from calci um deficiency. A nor m a 1 adult requires 13 to 18 grains of calcium dai ly; a growing child or youth up to the age of IB years requ ires 20 grains a day. Dr. Brady A qUart 0f milk contains approximately the adults daily requirement of calcium. There is as much or more calcium (lime) in an ounce of milk as In an ounce of lime water. Whether all of the cal cium' In milk can be assimilated is a question, but anyway plenty of milk and cheese, as well as egg yolk, fresh leafy vegetables or greens, in the everyday diet will best supply the requirement of calcium for child or adult. Exposure of as much of the body surface to daylight (direct sunshine or the light in shaded places or such light as filters thru cloud, mist, fog, when there Is no bright sunshine) as circum stances, custom, prejudices or delusions about "taking cold win permit promotes optimal assimilation and utilization of calcium in the body. This has much tb do with efficiency of the circulation and efficiency of the digestive functions. Since vitamin D is always es sential to Insure assimilation and utilization of calcium, whether in food or medicine, any one who takes calcium In any form for any purpose or who follows a high calcium diet, should take an optimal dally ration of vita min D too optimal meaning several times as much as may be necessary to maintain normal nutrition or normal health. This explains, I hope, what I mean when I say calcium is a heart tonic in many cases. As it seems to me there Is solid There they sang until the city firemen, whose sleep was dis turbed, threatened to turn the hose on them. KISS-STARVED SOLDIER PAYS $100 FOR SMACK Seattle, Oct 29 U.B Mrs. James Anderson, a 35-year-old stenographer, today was $100 richer, the price paid by a U. S. soldier for his "first kiss in 18 months" after duty in the Aleu tians. Mrs. Anderson, who works at the Seattle Port of Embarkation, caught the eye of the soldier as he left the ship, and with a mili tary policeman as go-between he negotiated the first kiss. FINE ON DANES By United Press Nazi occupation authorities have Imposed a 5,000.000-kroner fine (approximately $2,268,000 at the prewar exchange rate) and a curfew on Copenhagen follow ing a time -bomb explosion last night which killed four persons and injured 40 others, the Dan ish home radio said today. The broadcast said the dead included two German soldiers, a German policeman, and a Danish woman. Fourteen Ger man soldiers and 26 Danish men and women were Injured when the bomb exploded in a restaur, ant. The broadcast, heard by U.
