It's well set up, of convenient size, carrying a fine assortment of display advertising, and al ways a page or more of classi fied offerings in great variety. Almost everything under the sun, believe it or not. It has been my intention for some weeks to drop you a line of congratulations, on the splen did editorials appearing very regularly, on that important page of a daily paper. Tonight's editorial, Aug. Z4in, iwny jveep Up The Farce?) is a masterpiece of good common sense, as wen as sound advice to every citizen, regardless of his politics. It would be a step forward for the nation, if more editors would express themselves as forcefully and as clearly on political mat ters as the top man of the Med ford Mail Tribune does so fre quently. G. H. Young 630 So. Oakdale. A Praysr August 14, 1945 To the editor: May all the peo ples on this earth come to the realization that they are one flesh and blood, and that the best Interests of any nation are like wise the best for all. That no people can Injure another with out harm to itself, ana tnai sel fish national Interest leads only to disaster. Let us pray that the efforts of every nation henceforth and for ever n:orp. ba consecrated to the thought that mankind is one, and that for any nation to at tempt to destroy another, is like unto a hand mutilating a part of its own body. May every nation strive with heart and mind to come to a ful ler realization that all must henceforth be on the same side the side of mankind, and not fighting one against another, but joined in holy purpose towards n understanding of the needs of its fellow-nations, with one and the same end in view, the pre servation and the well-being of the human race. Let us know in our hearts that then, and then only, will there be an end to conflict, so that knowledge can be used through out the world, not for destruc tion, but for beneficent creation, with good will toward men, serv ing Thine Infinite Purpose. We ask it in Thy Name. Amen. Lois Hall Herrick Ridgefleld, Conn. Aug. 16. What One O. I. Thinks To the editor: With all the discussion going on regarding the occupation of Japan, I be lieve these exerpta from a letter Just received from a service man in the Pacific theatre gives us n Idea of the thinking of the service man, especially those who are maimed and have chil dren. "I guess you folks are all thrilled over the capitulation of Japan well I don't think any one is more thrilled than the fellows over here. Now It Is all over they are all worried (along with myself) that they shall draw occupation duty, If so I guess I shall go native, because it would be years before we would get home. I haven't said anything to the wife about this, for I know it would break her heart, I pray It will not haupen to us. I was reading an editmlal In regards to whom should form the occupation forces. I shall quote a couple of paragraphs for gum. etc., came In. but if they ! your Information. got any oi u iney naa w Duy u " 'Pacific soldiers feel that I from the officers. j If the people back home are de j termined to create the angriest group in our nation's history, ! they can succeed by informing the men overseas, the occupation lob is thcir's until it's finished. " 'In effect they'll be telling them they're a lost generation, that they're trapped and there's nothing they can do about it.' " " T guess I am not alone when I say I believe in those senti ments brought forth by the edi tor in his editorial. Take for in stance the many hundreds of young men who have been de ferred as essential to the war effort. , With the conclusion of the war their essentiality ceases. Why not extend an Invitation to them to don a uniform and as sume part of the responsibilities of policing the conquered na tions? Granted that they work ed hard and turned out goods when it was needed, but in do ing so they remainedf in contact with the pleasures of the home front, retaining their feeling of Independence to a large degree and were reasonably reimbursed for their efforts.' " C. C. FURNAS, Medford, Ore. "All" Right Not On Our Side To the Editor: If, as you say in Sunday's euuuriai, uoa was on our side in mis war and that a powerful moral force was the factor which allowed us to be the first to succeed with the atomic bomb, I wonder if we do not draw too hasty a conclusion if we say "God is on the side of the right. Right and wrong are rarely unmixed black and white; es pecially is this true In time of war. In all humility can we not say then that God Is giving us a second chance? None of us doubt that Ameri ca had MORE right on her side, but can you call our years of economic support of the Axis militarism all "right", or the losing struggle of the common people of Europe and Asia for security entirely "wrong ? Victory and peace are Infin itely more thrilling and we feel the challenge much more deeply if we realize that rather than our 'rightness' winning, Ameri ca has been given another chance to use her wealth of edU' cation and natural resources to alleviate the suffering of the world. Let us treat the causes of war rather than the symptoms, and re-dedicate the riches we have inherited to correcting social and economic Ills thruo'it the world! We CAN do It But will we? E. M. B.

Last night I measured out 1 1 i lbs. of sugar then I measured out how many teaspoonsful that would be. It is 2 and a small fraction day. We use more than that Just for our breakfast. In last night's Tribune there was two news Items that you can put together and get en lightenment. One was about some folks in Pennsylvania had company from Nova Scotia who brought four pounds of butter 1 with them, all bearing the brand of a firm not 30 miles from where they were visiting. The i other Item was about the army J heads refusing to say how much 1 butter was on hand now that the wor Is over. j No doubt the sugar is going the same way. I If our fighting units of the army were getting good food we wouldn't say a word. One of our , boys wrote home that there was a big shipment of candy and Riviera, Au. 30 Special First fall meeting of Gold Hill Health unit will be held Mon day, Sept. 10, at Mrs. Maude Martin's home.
