Pearmen of tht valley are now so prosperous they can afford to buy themselves a box of their own pearl for Christ mas. ... see The Alllei won "bloodied victory" In Turkey. It wai also a speechless .victory and not once wai the Turk men tioned as "the unspeakable Turk." The Older Girls and Arm chair Generals have started worrying about the deep secret, secret weapon the Nazis threaten England with. It Is the first good fret the two groups have had since the U boat that turned out to be a log, was sighted off the coast of Florida. European dispatches state the flu Is recovering from its attack upon Gen. De Gaulle, the French malcontent and trouble maker. THE UNIFORM BLUES (Klamath Falls Herald) "When the naval base Is finished, It will affect Klam ath's young Romeos. The girls have always held a great admiration for uniforms and always will; so quite a few civilian boys will be ; com pletely turned down.". . ; Autolsts have started their annual pre-Yule driving blind folded. . Instead of tying a handkerchief ' over 'their ' eyes, they pile Christmas trees in front of the windshield. Woe If piling up for Benito Mussolini, tht late Italian wind bag, now reported suffering from paralysis. As fait as he recovers from on major disease he comes down with one that Is worse. Since his ousting, Benito has had about everything but the earache and fallen arches. The weather so far this month has been excellent and a pleas ant change from last year at this time, when there was some talk of asking the RFC for a loan to build a . much-needed ark. .Take yesterday, after it got started. Several citizens had spring fever, unhandlcapped by a shortage of spring. III DETAItl (Albany Democrat-Herald) "I would like to have some body explain this for me for could be wrong. Why does the farmer need a back seat driver or some one play In the game over his shoulder and then be beat in the end." (From a letter.) a F. ' Sinatra, the swooner crooner, is "very unhappy" over his rejection for army service, due to a "punctured ear-drum." It is thought he will cheer up, and be able to give his usual Sat night broadcast, for which he gets $1,442, more per week than a buck private gets in a month. An Arizona cowman predicts beef shortage next spring "so shocking it will even shock the federal agencies." This means there will be so many steers on the highways, logging trucks will have to be equipped with cow-catchers. "The Branch Creek school marm Is wrestling with a heavy cold, also the postmaster. (Salmon Bar items.) Washing ton, D. C, will hear about this. It you were thcre.t. seeing the misery of our Allies meeting the homesickness and fatigue of our fighting men and seamen . . . you'd be doing the very things your dollars do for you when you give through the united campaign of the National War Fund and Medford Com munity Chest. um Mall Tribune Want Ada, : Wednesday, December 15, will be the deadline for the close of the Medford Community and War Chest campaign and, within the next five days, over $5,000 must be raised to put the drive "over the top." Increased effort and added public generosity will be necessary during these few remaining days. CHARITY begins at home but should not stop there. Aecordincr to an old Droverb. It does not stop there because the United War Fund and Med ford Community Chest are now combined. But giving to this fund is NOT charity. Instead, it is the wartime ',ob of every citizen. Our dollars contributed to this Chest fund will perform many jobs. They will maintain the morale of our own men, wherever they may fight. They will be used to help our allies and to keep them in the fight They will help the needy and sustain the fighting spirit of our own home front. To fail in meeting this wartime responsibility is unthinkable. To fall short of our $43,000 goal will mean cur tailment of the urgently needed service of the Sal vation Army, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Girls' Com munity club, Jackson County Public Health associa tion and the Jackson County Recreation Committee. It will' mean the shirking of our obligation to the U.S.O-. United Seamen's Service," War Prisoners Aid and 14 other agencies extending urgently needed re lief to our gallant allies. PERHAPS this fact has not been thoroughly under- This is 23 separate drives all rolled into one. Ob viously, the contribution formerly given to the local Community Chest is not enough. It should be at least two and one-half time ' greater and you won't be asked to give again in other drives during the ensuing year with one exception the Red Cross. That cam paign has been apart from Chest drives in past years and will continue on the same basis. ALREADY 3200 firms and individuals have do- nated. This satisfactory number indicates that the SIZE, of contributions has not been enough to meet the bed-rock, carefully budgeted needs of all 23 or ganizations in this COMBINED Community and War unest campaign. Xnere is but one answer Those who have overlooked their personal obliga tion to their community, their nation and their allies must give now and generously. n Those who have already given must, if at all pos sible, increase the size of their contribution. MEMBERS of the 96th Infantry Division have as- 4T sumed their share in a most liberal manner. This community is sineerely grateful. To other service men in this area, particularly those who live in Medford and enjoy the benefits of the six local Chest agencies, we offer a friendly reminder that their support is urgently needed. '. CO, add up the gifts you would give to each of the six home Chest agencies and the seventeen war agencies. Then send a check covering the total now - -today to the Medford Community Chest and Wai Fund, care of either Medford bank, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce or Copco. Let's wind up the job NOW 1 H.G. News Behind The News By Paul Malloo (Oonunu. from Pas Out) behind him are laying the ground for it. rONT ask me to offer any res ' sonable accounting as to. why this is so. Attacks on Byrd merely will furnish mare water on his political wheel In the south. The southerners have no intention of surrendering, and will block aU action of the Gut feyites. The charge that they are in, an "unholy alliance" with Republi can Joe Pew Is only remote po litical banter. The basis of the Guffey charge Is that the format Delaware Senator Townsend, as chairman of- the republican sen atorial campaign committee worked against the soldier bill. Townsend Is more DuPont than Pew and neither Rene Du Pont nor Pierre has co-operated closely with Pew. There is no evidence that they are in i working league on any subject and probably may be against each other on presidential candidates. But to fight, the democratic civil war all over again once or twice each year in the senan without results, has enabled the northern democrats in the paj' to make special personal ap peals to the voters of the liberal groups in their own commu nities (C. I. O. likes It). This strategem, however, seems to have outworn its effectiveness. The same old farce, therefore likely Is to be played through again without change In the plot or ending, but with Mr. Guffey in a leading tuie that no one else seems to want. WITH - all the thousands of words of explanation offered for the casualties of the ma rines, suffered at Tarawa, it seems Inconceivable that the whole story yet has been told When nearly 4000 men go down Your Health and Its Care BY Dr. WILLIAM BRADY. M.D. Readers should address Inquiries tot Dr. William Brady. 266 El Camiso. Beverly Hills. CaUf. POOR KIDI HO VICTUALS w Attached Is a snapshot of our year old son who, thanks to your teachings and advice and the Brady Baby Book and Pre paring for Ma t e r n 1 1 y, has been happy and healthy since the day he was born. (From the picture I'd say the boy is two years old, and I'll bet a com plete set of ui eiaoy Little Lessons in the Ways f Health against a smokablo pipe that the baby weighed, as much when the pic ture was taken as the average healthy child weighs at the age of two years which is 27 Vi pounds for boys, 26 pounds and ten ounces for girls.) AH of us have the greatest confidence in you and look for ward with interest to your daily column. J was especially pleased wim preparing lor Maternity. I would appreciate your ad vice on a problem that has risen. After attempts to wean the baby from the bottle I finally took it away entirely, hoping he would relent and drink, but for four days he went until supper time and then took a fourth of a cup ful, and then I gave him food. Other mothers say they had jhe same xroume, but ineir Dames have finally given in. This young man seems more stub born. I don't believe he dislikes milk, but he likes solid food more. (Mrs ..) Milk is all right, Ma'am, but a fella wants victuals too. I sym pathize with the young man be cause, altho I go for hashed brown, baked, roasted, boiled scalloped French fried, julienne and shoestring potatoes, the very suggestion of mashed potato is sure to bring on one of my spells. At Thanksgiving nt gran'ma's once they made me eat mashed potato before I could have any turkey. Good plan to begin giving baby some milk, soup, gruel or fruit Juice from cup daily at age of seven months, to promote de velopment of the mouth-throat muscle mechanism used in tak ing food that way. When weaning from the bot tle withhold the bottle, but of course give the baby other food he should have cereal gruel ripe banana, soft boiled egg. vegetables weU cooked and strained thru coarse sieve, - to mato Juice, meat broth, soup. By the time a baby is 14 months old, at the latest, bottle feeding should be finally dis continued, even the last thing at night. If the practice of feed ing something from cup is start ed early, as indicated, weaning from bottle will give little trou ble. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Doctor Approves If you have any doubt about the attitude of the tank and file of the medical profession you should hear our leading physlclana. Dr. M .. and Dr. , telling ui to "art Dr. Brady about that." ...You certainly seem to know what you are talking about before you expreea an opinion. (L.F.) Answer Yet eome people- complain that I Introduce "controversial" quea tlona here. If I do, I ttj to give the reader mv conscientious opinion or belief about it, anyway, and thata more than some of tha "conserva tive" old geeaera conducting health columns do for their readers, rf the question la debatable,. I offer my osrsonal opinion. In any case I assume full responsibility 'for It and never dodge responsibility by Imply ing that tne teaching is inat or some unidentified "medical authority." Breath Testing Is there any way to test ont s breath to find put if It la offensive? Read somewhere about blowing breath, In a bag tor testing. (Mrs. Q. O.)

Did the Japs have prior knowledge? Did we know the strength of the Jap position as we snouiar These and other questions probably will not be erased un til final official reports are re leased from the war censorship ban. The annual football banquet was held last night at 6:30 at the high school. Roast turkey with all the trimmings, plus Mrs. Tucker's famous pumpkin pie, was served to all the players.
