It is heartening, therefore, that musical groups of America continue to thrive and to expand despite the stress and strain of war. It is encouraging, too, to see the people of THIS community laying plans for their own musical future in the current membership campaign of the Civic Music Association. . CPIRITUAL needs are indeed great in times like these, and good music provides the comforting emotional experience so sorely needed at this trying moment It's rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul. We need it, also, to relieve the tension of Longfellow: "And the night shall be filled with music. And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And as silently steal away." And, as "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," we hope that it's the "universal language" in fluence will be felt throughout the world. May it help to heal the grevious wounds of this bitter struggle and further a lasting brotherhood of mankind when the final gun has been silenced. . "THE Civic Music Association is performing a real service to this community in this move to bring really good music, to our city. The response to this brief campaign for new members ha3 thus far been most encouraging. Already three outstanding con certs are assured, and other artists will be available IF the size of the membership permits the added ex penditure. Certainly, the musical treats already arranged are well worth the moderate cost of these Civic Music As sociation memberships. Special emphasis has been placed upon student memberships because of the urgent need for good music younger generation.

H.G. Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, Dec, 1: Let It be stated at the outset, so there will be ho misunderstanding: This is NOT a pleasure trip! , It is a trip necessitated by certain conditions of a personal nature over which "ye editor" had and has no control. It will be as brief as those conditions allow which may not be exactly fleeting however, , Looking over our traveling-log we find It has been over a year since we visited San Francisco, and six months since we have been out of the state of Oregon. That is a record of some sort for the Rypsy-foot scribe whose initials will appear at the conclusion of this non-electrical transcription. And of course that is another thing that can be blamed or credited to the war.. . As the train came down from Davis to the Oakland pier this morning a few planes were flying In a beautiful aqua marine sky, and our soldier traveling companion from Camp White remarked' "Soon as you get out of Oregon it quits raining!" The remark irri tated the M. T. representative but we could think of no dignified rejolner there WAS the rain we had left, and here was SUNNY Call ' , , ,- - . . SOLDIERSI Great Pete there were three bus loads of them leaving Medford, and at least one soldier who was left behind. He pleaded with the driver, said there were his orders and he had to go but the driver was adamant the soldier could not get on I We would like to cite this to the court as Exhibit No. 1 against the S. P. but have to give the devil his due; the soldier got in on Bus No. 3, so none of the army was left behind. But they have been plenty, too, at Medford and Dunsmuir, because the S. P. can't or won't take care of them. Dr. and Mi. C. II. Paske were on the bus the former called to Los Angeles because of the death of his father, at the ripe old age of 81. Dr. Paske had just returned from a visit with his father, who had been ill, but seemed entirely recovered, when the sad news came. He too, wished to give the devil S. P. Its due he was able to get Pullman accommodations on the train south only a couple of 1 hours before departure time he pinned the bouquet on Bob Holmes for that service, however. 1 It was cold and wet at the quarantine station high up on the California line, where we had to wait half an hour or more for Inspection of the luggage. Some shivering fellow traveler asked why California would let 800 people cross the line on the S. P. trains without inspection, and insist on Inspection of the same sort of travelers with the same sort of luggage, because they happened to ride on the Greyhound. No one could answer. We should say the Mediterranean fruit fly would much prefer .to ride on the S. P. they say It' is a very vicious and discriminating Insect. v : One of the Medford party just how many fruit files and the S. P. over the Slsklyous now anyway. Well, there are still a dozen freight trains a day, why doesn't the great state of California Inspect for the fruit flies and other Insects on THEMI A high official of the S.

But two or three of the older gals who were apparently going to California to LIVE DID. A porter on one of the trains volun teered to help and then loaded like a burro, his train started and he had to drop the bundles and run to avoid being left. We found ourselves wishing the high-up official of the S.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, three bus-loads of soldiers,-for that matter. They were not on the train this morning. Perhaps they decided to walk! Having a warm, dry berth ready, however, without waiting for the Klamath train connection sometime in the early morning WAS an improvement over the last experience. And having to wait in line for breakfast for 43 minutes and being three hours late reaching the Ferry building, was nothing to complain about under the circumstances. (And we mean that we really enjoyed the breakfast and being after the noon hour the ferry ride in the sun light was just that much warmer and more delightful.) R.Wil. Your Health and Its Care BY Dr. WILLIAM BRADY. M. D. Readers should address Inquiries to: Dr. William Brady.. ' 2SS El Camino, Beverly Hills. Calif. SOME DAY Regarding high blood pressure I said here recently: "We call it 'essential hyper- tehslon,' which is medical dou ble talk meaning we hate to tell you - we don't know what it means. I use the edl torial plural, not to imply that I'm one on the best of physicians but merely that I know no more about this- or other types of high blood ui Brady pressure than your doctor or any doctor knows." Catching me with my guard down like that, Mrs.. B. W. writes: Dr. Brady-c- ' When you get a little older and have high blood pressure and some of the bad spells people with high blood pres sure have perhaps you will have a different story to tell, or at least have a little more sympathy ... That takes me back to the halcyon days. Then I busied myself, combating the notion that exposure to cold and damp ness such as every one ex periences more or less in the ordinary course of llfe causes chronic "rheumatism." My pur pose was not merely to promote a debate on the question. I was pretty young and enthusias tic then and I hoped to get peo ple who suffered one or another form of chronic joint disability to take new interest in seeking the cause of their trouble and perhaps obtaining some relief or even a cure. But, shucks, I doubt if I converted a dozen old-timers In a year. You have to catch 'em young If you expect to get anywhere with .new fangled ideas. My mentor goes on: "I have learned pretty well how to handle blood pressure. I am under no doctor's care and never have been. I don't News Behind The News By Paul Mallon .

TPHE republican election vio- tory in the normally demo cratic heart of Kentucky, the fourth congressional district, forecasts the final breakup of the Happy Chandler machine. He lives in an adjoining county, and the democratic candidate was his selectee. Whatever ex cuses, therefore, could be of fered for the loss of the state In the earlier gubernatorial elec tion on the ground the Chand ler factions did not go along sufficiently were not true in the fourth district. The election also was a con clusive response to some readers of this column who misinter preted my analysis of the guber natorial election as partisan re publican' propaganda. , e . THIS election result certainly verifies the conclusion then r lA T Hjf mi u MITE H3)AKf(SE yj BIG HOURS 8 tO 12 vr up uttnuinu OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1943 ; IS NEVER trust them' to -know what to do in case of a spell ..." Perhaps that's why the good woman is content to drift along believing her trouble is "high blood pressure" she has never given a doctor the chance to find out what ails her. But she mentions that she always wants to know lust how high her blood pressure Is, for if she knows it is over (never mina tne iigurej she-knows she must be careful about her eating, drinking, work ing etc. ... evidently she patron izes some near-dector rather than a real doctor, some mer chant or charlatan she can trust. That is the sort of "doctor" that strings a customer along with the idea that the trouble is just high blood pressure.

The margin of republican vic tory this time in the district was around 12,000 votes, com pared with democratic victories by a margin of 15,000 in 1940, iu.uuu in laiiH, and 17,000 in 1936 representing a turnover of 27,000 votes in 90,000 cast. The news of a 30 per cent larger meat rationing allowance for this month only, was offered to the country as If it were a Christmas present of the OPA to the people. Truth is, no other course was possible, or at least sensible, in view of stocks piled up in storage, due to price, labor and other government di rected marketing conditions. DEEF storage as far back as u October 1 totaled 112,000, 000 pounds, about twice as much as the five-year average, and it has been Increasing con stantly. Pork stocks amounted to 361,000,000 pounds the same day, about 51,000,000 above average. Same is true of frozen lamb, stocks amounting to 17, 000,000 pounds, over three times the average. More than half of these stocks are held by the government corporations, . the rest being in the hands of pri vate dealers. ' ' Closing time tor olaasined ads am. Too late to Classify 13:30 p m.
