Oct. 9 That In town and being given the works again as a conquering hero. We had a hasty glimpse of his baby-pink face and kindly smile, through the ticker-tape, confetti and telephone-book leaves show ered upon him, as his cavalcade moved up Fifth avenue to the Waldorf. Grover Whalen, the perennial New York host for dis tinguished visitors Is doing the honors and there will be a banquet at $10.00 per plate at the Waldorf tonight at which appropriately enough young Mr. Rockefeller, former assistant secretary of state, will make the welcoming speech. It's nice work if you can get it! e e e e The remarks of the "Gentleman from Missouri" In his home state yesterday were disappointing, VERY, but not surprising. We believe a grave mistake was made, and one that will have tragic consequences. But, after all, 99 out of 100 Americans In President Truman's position would have done the same. It is that one man in 100 that's needed in the U. S. A. now, however. We would even go further and admit that in declaring this country will share the secret of the atomic bomb with NO ONE, the President correctly represented the desires of a majority of the American people, well that Is democracy and representative government isn't it? But in this case we are Just as strongly con vinced the majority opinion is wrong terribly, tragically, wrongl e e a e e The chief reason given by President Truman for this action, moreover, will never stand up under any sort of Informed and realistic examination. No other country In the world, he main tains, has the natural resources or Industrial capacity, to manu facture the bomb, so why should this country give away such a valuable secret? That is simply not truel Russia, Just to mention one country defintely has the na tural resources, raw materials, and also the Industrial capacity. In the same paper where this statement of Mr. Truman appeared, this morning, two distinguished authorities, Dr. Isaiah Bowman, president of John Hopkin's, and Dr. Langmulr of General Electric, declared Russia is now nearly abreast of this country in scientific research and at its present rate of development may well be ahead of us in ten or twenty years. Moreover, when it comes to perfect ing a new and Improved method of destroying human life, no price, materially speaking, is too high for any modern "peace loving" nation to payl Tl f ralnlnc ncrnln pnmlnif rlnum n orIVt,eln..tl..-.ll..

Parades to greet war heroes and others are an old story along Broadway and Fifth Avenue but something new or at least far less common along Pennsylvania Avenue in the national capital. There there was-a holiday, circus-day spirit ap parent; nothing of the sort here merely something to observe and comment upon during the lunch hour, smoke a cigarette, then ubuin iu mo evenusung grind. One touch of the world-series makes the whole world kin. As the broadcost of that amazing 12-lnninc game was nearine the end around 4 o'clock yesterday, all New York seemed to be listening In, from the battery to the Bronx and from East River to the Hudson. The same condition prevailed we fear the M. T. hod trouble In ar Better baseball has been but we can't recall a series that ing or comical! If President Truman's policy'regardlng the atomic bomb is to prevail and In all probability It will then the United Nations' pact might as well be thrown into the ash can, and those six weeks at the San Francisco conference crossed off as wasted time Imagine the Big Five gathering around the conference table to settle some critirnl nrnhlem ihiooionin. ....... ...i.u. ii.. -. i i bomb as a weapon, In the hands like a conference between four one with a sub machine gun.

Of course If the atomic hnmh If, as President Truman claims, no other country could manu facture It, there might be no real cause to complain. But there isn't a recognized authority in the country who maintains the secret CAN be kept, and certainly when the inevit able happens and the secret Is general knowledge, don't worry a way will be found to manufacture it, for the failure to do so will lutaii iiuuuiifu ai-ieai ana disaster.

The oft repeated yearning of service men correspondents for a drink from our Pacific coast springs gives me an increased awareness of how blessed we are in this respect. Good water is a necessity of life and that we have this so abundantly should not be taken for granted but should. Instead, be accepted with conscious gratitude. One lad, writing from Guam. says he expects to camp for a week by the first spring he finds, when he arrives home. He then comments on his old practice of taking a drink from the spring at Hillside every time he passed It, whether he was thirsty or not; a custom he hopes soon to renew. But he said that from now on, there will be this difference from now on, he will have an acute awareness of what a divine privilege It is to have water. Yet we do not have to have gone through this boy's experi ence to know what it means to be without good water. Most of us, at times, have had drinking water of varied hues, flavors and odors. Yet here on the Pacific coast, small ribbons of silver flutter down every hill and ridge. Vacationists take these for grant ed; never need to plan In ad mm Olive Barber's I Letter e e !

Hope it does poor old whirling dervish surely vance for a water supply. Perhaps It Is because I have lived in areas where this was not the case, when on a walk through the woods, I, like the boy in Guam when passing our spring, must stoop and drink from each little creek I cross. It is my ges ture of gratitude that live In a region where water is so abund ant. And the water seems to have a finer flavor If I lie prone and drink directly from the stream. If 1 get my elbows and my knees muddy, so much the better. I know thot even here In our own land, thousands of people wilfully dream of doing Just that, yet never can. Always, along these little creeks, is the evidence of the wild life which has been there before me. Bird tracks will have made lace-like traceries in the dark, damp earth along the wat er's edge. Maybe there will be the baby-fist marks left by a coon. And always there will be the pointed tracks of deer. It Is said the land of Canaan flowed with milk and honey. The writer may have thought he may have dealt In superlatives. That was because he had never knelt and drank from the sweet waters of our Pacific coast streams. Anything Canaan had to offer was second best. Escaped Con Fails In Suicide Tries Eugene, Ore..

GROWING PAINS AND GROWING OLD The family physician recom mended cookies in the shoes of a ten-year-old girl who complain ed frequently of leg ache htr mother said. I would not know but maybe this is some kind of Jive. But for the sake of ar gument I'm always willing to concede good deal for tiie sake of an Dr. Brady argu m e n t let Vis take It literally. A fair sized cookie that Isn't too dangeJ dainty might serve sat isfactorily as an arch prop, at that. If the child's trouble is pronated feet (potential flat feet), or "weak ankles", as the trouble is commonly called, wearing any such pad, support cr lift under the instep might give some temporary relief to the ache, pain or fatigue of the leg muscles. But it would not be treatment for what ails trfe child. We call 'em "growing pains" simply because that's what peo ple call 'em. It should not be neces-ary to stipulate that it never hurts to grow. No matter how last a child may be growing it is not the growing that ac counts for any aches, pains or weaknesses that may develop. It Is rather the shortage of mater ials used in growth or the in ability of the body to utilize the material's. In other words so-called "growing poins" are one mani festation of nutritional deficien cy disoase, and not indicative of a "tendency" to rheumatism, whatever that may be, nor of need for tonsillectomy. Thn shortage of materials is chiefly calcium deficiency, and with it is usua'ly associated nhosohorus deficiency, for these two elements occui together in calcium phosphates in foods. The inability of the body to utilize calcium and phosphorus is chiefly due to Insufficient supp'y of vitamin D. Persons of mature age suffer from leg crnmps at night, due to virtually the same nutritional deficiency and Inability to ultil-l TO BE RE-OPENED BY ST. The MarKade will not be re opened as a recreation center for servicemen, the hoard ot Direc tors announced yesterday. The center for many months was operated by St. Mark's Episco pal church with a program oi recreation and entertainment for enlisted men of Camp White, but was not re-opened this sum mer following closure for re novation. Decision not to reopen the facility was made after a letter from Capt. II. B. LaFavre, medi cal officer in command of the Camp White naval hospital, stated that "it would seem that no further facility of this kind would be needed" if the USO continued in operation. The captain stated that he had been Informed the USO will continue to function In its present capa city and in the same location. The MarKade was opened dur ing the early days of Camp White, funds for its construction having been provided by the Army and Navy commission of the Episcopal church and from local donations... At first a re creation room for servicemen was operated In the old parish hall. While no records are avail able now. It is known that thous ands of men enjoyed the use of the recreation room and the program of suppers, dances, games and other entertainment supplied by the directors and hostesses. Dozens of letters have been received from men scattered to all parts of the world thanking the church and saying how much the writers enjoyed the hours spent at the MarKade.

If you are Interested in 'growing pains" oi leg cramps, you had better send a stamped self addressed envelope and a.V for (do not use a clipping) the pamphlet "Adult Tetany and Growing Pains " Bear in mind the fact that these and innumerable other complaints which are rr.anifes lations of nutritional deficiency are not curable bv a "dose two cf calcium or vitamins. The calcium or vitamins which may be required to correct the faulty nutrition must be regarded as food, not medicine You do not take food once or half a dozen times or even for a month and then discontinue it and expect to get along In future without it or with anything less than a maintenance ration. Don't be childish about minerals and vitamins. Ear In mind also that no natural food supplies much vitamin D in my own opinion no natural food for man supplies enough vitamin B to maintain optimal nutrition in growing child, adolescent, mature or aged adult. Whole milk, cream, butter egg yolk, oysters, fresh and canned ralmon, sardines, herring, tuna are the only foods that rontain any considerable amount of vitamin D. But in fants, growing children, adoles cents, mature and aged adults can and should manufacture enough vitamin D to maintain optimal, the very best state of nutrition by the simple process of exoosing the naked skin to the skyshine. QUESTIONS ANSWERS Dry Skin Hnve recently learned about a camnhored cleanslne. cream. Are you fnmlliar with a cold cream containing camphoi?

IM M.) Answer No ground for the notion, no matter how hard the water, if It if satisfactory in taste. (CopyrUht 1045 by John r. Dllle Co.) the members were deeply grate ful for the aid extended by Junior and senior hostesses and the many others who had con tributed funds, time, equipment, foods and other items for the center during its months of operation. It was said that the church will work out a hospitality pio gram whereby servicemen will be invited for special programs, dinners and other events and that an enlarged program of home hospitality would be fost ered among members and friends of St. Mark's church for the benefit of enlisted men at the camp.

ROGUE RIVER PACKING CORP. Telephone 3982 TORNADO COMMENT (From Coos Bay Times) An Example Worth Studying Oregon football fans are agog at the prowess of the Medford high school team, defending state champions, and the record cf smashing victories run up hus far by the Black Tornado. Defeats of Albany, Marshfield and Ejgene by such one-sided scores as 68-0. 40-0 and 52-7 are truly astounding for, on the average, each of the three school; fields a fairly strong club, which factor makes Med ford's feat seem all the more notable. To hear of such performance, to say nothing of seeing the Black Tornado swirl over the gridiron, is to raise the question, 'How does Medford get such a team'" "Recruiting " Is an easy guess, and probably has been made loudly enough to reach Medford, for E H Hedrick, superinten dent of the Medford schools, breaks into print with the reve lation that five members of the starring lineup were born in Medford and six were born in other sections of the state but have ;ived in Medford since l hey were small boys. The re serve's, says Mr. Hedrick, show a higher percentage of Medford born. But the place of one's birth does not make one a good foot ball player, so we have to look a bit further in Mr. Hedrick's staterr.ent. Medford schools, he reveals, have a full athletic system under which grade school boys have uits, coaches and piay a regular schedule of games. Members of the Black Tornado squad all had this training during grade school with :he result that they were well grounded in the fundamen tals of the game by the time they reached junior high school, where more play and coaching polished them up for senior high competition. Anyone who has seen the Black Tornado in action will vouch that the sys tem rtys dividends. Not all school systems can or have the desire to go as far as Medford has in building its athletic setup. Some do provide a me!.ure of coaching in Junior high school. Some will say there is ovr r-emphasis on sports. That might be the case but in view of what the armed forces learn ed of the value of competitive sports as opposed to calisthenics in prerjaring our men for war it would seem that sports are due to get more attention In our schools. ThU year, as a result of the deplorable numbers of men un able to pass physical examina tions for entry into the armed forces. Oregon has launched a statewide program seeking to improve the physical condition of the boys and girls in our schools. The program, outlined through a series of conferences by members of a statewide com mittee of school administrators and physical education experts is largely experimental this vear, of necessity. As more 'qualified physical education in structors become available, we can look to see more attention paid to the physical develop ment of the younger students. Not nil will turn into athletes, though no doubt improved physique will enable some to shine on the playing field, but better health should make for better students and eventually better citizens. Medford's athle tic success points to the wortrrof a full physical training program. FORD OPERATIONS TO RESUME ON MONDAY Detroit.
