' FACES ARE REDDENED (Klamath Falls News-Herald) "A local high school girl, speaking to a men's civic club here, startled her audience with the statement: "I Imagine all of you men were once ju venile delinquents." Looking about, I saw many a retrospec tive and slightly guilty-look log countenance." A contemporary contends Sen Holman's first name, via: Rufua, la one of his liveliest political assets. This will Inspire the op position to scare up candidate with home-spun nam, like Erasmus or Uriah. . OPA officials "fear" more "meatless days may be neces sary.'1 Such tinkering with the bread-baskets of the masses may be due to the fact there are prac tically no beetless pastures, and hogs a drug on the market.

THE STATUS OF PAW "When mother and daughter urge father to dress up and look his best he needn't think they are Interested In him. They simply are trying to keep htm from frightening away daugh ter's beau. "You look so nice when you are dressed up, nc!h?r savs affectionately. And daughter declare) she wants to be proud of papa. But both have only the wonderful young man In mind. They don't want him to look at fnflier and think the family Is common stock Poor father Is flattered and, since mother and daughter think so much of him, he decide to atrvisle hard to look handsome and prosperous, not realising that he really Is trying to make himself almost worthy of the grand young man who Is In love with daughter and with moth er's sandwiches." (Kansas City Times.) Heavy Use of Land Forces Indicated In Strategy For Defeat of Japs In Pacific By Louis P. Keemle United Press War Analyst The visit to our battle lines In the Pacific by Gen. George Marshal), army chief of staff, has significance far beyond that of a routine Inspection tour. It Indicates the larger part the army win piay in aii-oui opera tions asalnst Jnrjan. which presumably was discussed at the Cairo conference and which will begin in full measure after Germany has been knocked out of the war and full allied attention Is turned to the enemy In the orient NIMITZ, MacARTHUR SEEN En route home from Cairo and Tehran, Gen. Marshall con ferred with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and other top men in the Pacific. It la to be assumed that he ac quainted them with the course charted by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and Chiang Kai-sneK. it is aiso runner evidence that Marshall's part In the war will embrace over-all strategy and not be limited to personal direction, of the western front In Europe. Two principles' of Pacific strategy have been enunciated by Admiral Nimitz and Gen. MacArthur, and they are by no means conflicting. Admiral Nimitz has said that the final defeat of Japan probably will come through China. Gen. MacArthur has pro claimed the chief objective of his southwest Pacific command to be the repossession of the Philippines. Both statements imply the extensive use of land forces the army. MacArthur s conception of strategy does not necessarily imply tliat he considers the Philippines the springboard for the direct assault on Japan. The distance involved Is too great. MANILA STRATEGIC LOCATION Manila, however, Is only 650 miles from Hong Kong. Allied strategists concede that the reopening of the Burma road by Lord Louis Mountbatten's drive from India will not in Itself be sufficient to assure the flow of supplies that will enable Chiang's great re sources ol manpower, with our air and ground support, to drive the Japanese out ol cnlna. - China's southeastern ports must be opened and the Philippines are the logical springboard for that. Their possession, moreover, would choke off Japan's vast holdings in the Dutch Indies from Home support, and greatly shorten the war. Invasion of the Philippines obviously will call for land forces on a far larger scale than has been necessary or possible in the Pacific island fighting to date. No one supposes that it will be as easy to drive the Japanese out of the Philippines as It was for Ineiri to overwhelm the American forces there, If only because of tne short supply lines which the Japanese enjoy from their home islands. OLE BREAKFAST FOR IEXAS ICS EN DISHABILLE Dallas, Tex.. Dec. 22 U.R) Old Santa answers even the strangest of requests some times. Many of the VAC stationed at 8th service command head quarters jokingly have remarked that they wished Saint Nick would bring them breakfast in bed Christmas morning. since he'll be a bit too busv to do that, he's arranged (with War department approval) for them to go to their yule break fast clad In pajamas and bath robes and sporting hair curlers ana cream - glistening cheeks, (And that, civilians.

BRUCELLOSIS UNDULANT FEVER GREATEST EVER By United Press Trucking officials warned to day that the nation's motor freight transport system' Is ap proaching a crisis because of the shortage of new trucks, re pair parts, tires and manpower. A survey found motor transport companies from coast to coast fearful that their opera tions may be curtailed by lack of equipment and repairs In the near future. In California, the Office of Defense Transportation said the "truck shortage probably will become acute within six months during the harvest season unless the War Production Board al locates materials for new trucks and repair parts. Along mldwestern highways. truckers reported many vehiclos wearing out and standing Idle for want of parts. CENTRAUPlTlUNiORS GIVE PLAY TOMORROW Central Point, Dec. 22 (Spl.) The Junior class of the Central Point high school will present the annual play tomorrow night, Dec. 23, in the school gymna sium at 8 p. m. The mystery drama, 'The Tiger Necklace" is a sequel to 'The Tiger House," which was given at the school a few years ago, and Is replete with suspense and thrills. Malta fever, Mediterranean fe ver, pseudo-typhoid (meaning it resembles typhoid fever but ton t genuine ty phoid) goat fe ver, bilious re mittent fever, Intermittent ty phoid fever, these and sev other names have been giv en what is now known as bru cellosis. According to on authority Dt. Brady (Harold J. Har ris, M. D., Bui. N. Y. Acad. Med., Sept. '43i Brucellosis. Harpers, '41) ten to fifteen per cent of cattle in this country are infect ed and the Infected cattle are distributed through 43 per cent of the dairy herds of this coun try Brucellosis In cattle is com monly known as contagious abor tion or Bang's disease. It has been commonly be lieved that the disease was in troduced into America In 1905 by a cargo of Infected goats from Malta. The goats on the ship in fected the entire crew en route Five of the goats died en route, and the remaining sixty were slaughtered at quarantine station when they arrived, thirty-two be ing found infected. It was not until 1908 that the British army adopted the regulation that all goats' milk be boiled, and this was followed by a tremendous decrease In the prevalence of the disease In man. The organism that causes bru cellosis is called brucella (a type of bacterium or germ), and occurs in three strains (B. abortus, B. melitensls, B. suls) producing the same disease though perhaps of varving severity. Although it is probable that In fection of man occurs usually through the use of milk or dairy products from Infected cows or goats, there is no question but that numerous persons contract undulant fever from handling hides, carcasses (butchers), car ing for cattle, goats, etc. Not only milk, but cream, cheese, butter may carry the Brucella. Swine are subject to Infection with Brucella suls, and although some physicians contend this Is less of a hazard to man, others with the wisdom by experience believe man may contract undu lant fever from taking care of pigs or hogs or from slaughtering and dressing. 'The use of certified milk exclusively, unless lt is pas teurized, is no guarantee," asserts Dr. Harris, "against milk-borne Infection, how-. ever, for certified milk Is not above suspicion it raw." - tlons and give vent to criticism which is merely shunted aside the time has arrived to set this lend-lease matter straight, completely straight. MR. LANDIS saw both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hopkins at Cairo, either of whom might be able to do the necessary inner spade work, but both were ex clusively occupied with prob lems of winning the war. No out this aide-mess, but they could get some people who coma do it, or even empower Mr. Landia to do it Unless something Is done, sen ators will become aware of what has been going on, and start again in their own way the vocal way. Resignation of Mr. Landis would be enough to bring on a situation which no one who has the true war inter ests of Britain and the United doubt their minds are too filled States at heart wants to see de- and hands too busy to straighten I veloped. TWO CITY LOTS SOLD AT COUNCIL MEETING Sale of two pieces of city prop erty was authorized at a meet ing of the city council held in Mayor C. A. Meeker's office in - the city hall last night.
