MAIL TRIBUNE
"Kilroy Was Here
Who was Kilroy? And what did he do ?
The august New York Times recently devoted a
long editorial to a fanciful discussion of this semi
legendary character, so familiar to any World War II
serviceman.
Kilroy was ubiquitous. His trade mark, the slogan
"Kilroy Was Here" sometimes accompanied by a
little drawing of a long nose poking over a f ence
was found everywhere American troops went. He left
his mark on palm tsees in the South Pacific, on walls
in Iceland, in men's rooms in Cairo, London, Tokyo,
Panama, and, sad to say, in less-reputable places, too.
lILROY (no one knows for sure who named him,
"or how he sprang into full and happy life virtually
overnight throughout the world) was, perhaps more
than all the flags and slogans and emblems, the true
embodiment of the American service man.
His slogan had more than a tinge of ruefulness
in it But it also had' humor, and a certain idealism.
It might be roughly translated somewhat like this :
"We're here. We don't like it. But we've got a job to
do, and we'll do it the best way we know how. And if we're
given half a chance, we'll have as much fun doing it as
we can."
This was seldom if ever voiced, but was implicit
in the cocky slogan chalked on the bam near Casa
blanca or the tomb on Okinawa.
THE NEW YORK TIMES calls for revival of the Kil
1 roy spirit.
It tells how, when a tug was lifted from the waters
of the Suez canal, clearing it for traffic, on her bridge
was scrawled "Kilroy Was Here." The editorial adds:
"We need Kilroy. It is good to know that after his long
vacation, which possibly he spent in the Antarctic, he is
with us again.
"Kilroy is Point Four. Kilroy is friendly aid to all the
peoples of the world who feel friendly toward us and who
will work with us. .
"If a new canal is needed, Kilroy will be there digging
it. If anybody wants help in fixing up a harbor or running
a road through rough country or setting up new houses
for people who haven't any houses or draining a malarial
swamp, they can call on Kilroy. He will be there.
"He will be there In a spirit of joviality, not of conde
scending kindness. He may be there sometimes with a swag
er in his walk and his hat tipped over one eye. Kilroy is
gay and good and wonderful and now that he has come
back, let us hope he will never go away again."
A ND the "good, grey Times" concludes its tribute
to America's fightingest, buildingest, most useful
pixie, with this: .
"We lift a glass to Kilroy and all his comrades in all
countries and in all peaceful avocations. We drink to the
gusto, the strength and the handiness of good old Kilroy.
The world needs him even more than it needs men of battle
and men of programs and politics. Maybe the future lies in
Kilroy, that jovial, shouting,
democratic world."
Amen to that. E.A.
Polygraph
Probably not many people could answer the ques
tion, "What's a polygraph?"
They'd be more familiar with the common name
of the device, which is "lie detector."
Actually, the technical name is correct; the popu
lar name is a misnomer. A polygraph records a num
ber of human bodily reactions, including breathing,
heartbeat, perspiration, and so on; it does not detect
lies. Actually, the "lie detector" is the operator, and
he's only as good as his training and his understand
ing of the reactions which his machine measures.
e
A POLYGRAPH may be a "lie indicator," because
the act of telling an untruth can cause subcon
scious changes in bodily reactions. But these vary
from one individual to another, and the interpreta
tions vary from one operator to another.
- A sensitive person, for instance, could have reac
tions entirely dissimilar to those of a hardened crimi
nal. He might "work up a sweat," literally, in an at
tempt to make his every answer meticulously accu
rate. The other, with no regard for the truth whatso
ever, and knowing the theory on which the machine
operates, could deliberately cause misleading reac
tions by channeling his thoughts properly.
THE polygraph is a valuable aid in police work, and
will remain so.
But its results are not admissible as evidence in
court, which is a good thing. For the results are not
conclusive ; they are indicative. And they may mean
one thing one time, and another, another time.
Human beings, too, vary, and to use physical re
actions as evidence of a man's intricate and sometimes
devious thought-patterns is, at the present stage, nei
ther just nor intelligent. E. A.
Cancer
One by one they are conquered, the diseases wThich
have plagued mankind.
Malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague these are
almost gone in much of the world. Tuberculosis is on
the way out. So are infantile paralysis and typhoid.
Of the killers remaining, cancer is the most feared
and with reason. It can' be slow and painful and
terrifying.
DESEARCH is the answer, and research costs
money. Much now is known about cancer. Much
more remains to be learned. Research is nearing a
"breakthrough" in the war on the disease.
This is Cancer Control Month. For your own pro
tection have a regular checkup by your doctor. For
the protection of our children, and theirs, help the
American Cancer Society with a check most of

Bees and Hoodlums -
To the Editor: According to a
report in last Sunday's paper, a
newborn calf and cow were at
tacked by a swarm of bees, some
where between Ruch-and Jack
sonville. They had called a vet
erinarian, but the calf died and
the cow recovered.
Those things just don't happen
unless said hive of bees was up
set by either the cow or calf or
something else. Perhaps, after 60
years of fooling around with
bees, I don't know them yet.
Lately, I was wishing I had
some honey bees just like that.
As long as I had the bees on my
old home place, every spring
there-was spray poisoning until
in 1940, I had 48 dead colonies
out of 50 inside of two weeks.
So a few years back; I got eight
acres at the foot of Roxy Ann.
There was no spray poisoning
there, but the hoodlums, rats or
whatever we may call them,
tried to get some honey for
nothing every cold winter's
day. So after the first cold spelJ
this last winter, about a dozen
hive covers were partly or all
removed, exposing the bees to
the cold. If it happened to rain
or snow, it would mean just a
dead colony if not discovered in
time or if the weather did not
warm up. So later on, some
brood chambers were knocked
off and lying upside down. From
one hive, four combs were miss
ing. Three were found outside
the fence along the road with the
brood in it, but no honey.
Three or four weeks ago, one
Thursday night, it rained. I
went up Friday. Two hives were
upset. Friday night it rained
again. So Saturday morning,
two more hives were upset, up
side down in two parts. On Mon
day morning one heavy two
story hive was lifted across a
wire net fence and dumped up
side down in two parts and there
were car tracks going up in the
road. Another lVz story hive was
dumped upside down inside a
barbed wire gate.
Last week, while- checking
over all the bees, I extracted
three 30-30 flattened bullets. So
to some innocent, poor teenagers,
it's lots of fun to use those bee
hives for target practie. I hope
someday to have a high wild
rose fence to keep all the hood
lums, teenagers, young or old,
out.
In Friday's Tribune, a Mar
garet Mary Fields protests about
the juvenile- department action.
She wants to circulate a petition
for a state investigation in the
juvenile: department activities.
She'll have a hard time to get
any signatures from the bee
keepers in the valley unless it
wiU make it tougher for the mis
behaving kids, big or little, if
they are caught after their mis
deeds, they should be compelled
to clean up the roadsides of cans,
beer bottles or any trash that's
been found and keep it clean for
a certain length of time.
If Jackson county has more
boys at the MacLaren school, it's
a disgrace to the parents of said
boys that they never taught them
right from wrong. It's up to the
parents to give their boys and
girls a kind and good under
standing, not for the police. They
are hired for the protection of
society and should be given all
courtesy in their difficult job
and not be called just a d - - cop.

Postal Service Told
In Magazine Article
Pleasantville, N.Y. The Post
Office system "needs mechaniz
ing and streamlining all the way
through," a Reader's Digest
article, titled "Our Horse and
Buggy Mails," will say in the
May issue of the magazine.
This will not appear until
April 23. But the magazine re
leased a summary of the 5,000
word article by Wolfgang Lange
wiesche when the magazine
learned that someone in Wash
ington without authority from
Reader's Digest had made the
article available to certain mem
bers of Congress prior to the nor
mal -publication date.
Behind Europe
"The present administration
has begun some mechanization
but we are years behind Europe,"
says the article which concludes
with the appeal: "Let's create a
modern mail system." -
According to the article, which
discusses Post Office methods,
buildings and policies, the serv
ice "uses the same methods of
gathering, sorting and delivering
the mail that it did 100 years
ago" and mail is now "slower
than it was before World War
H."
The Post Office is one of the
country's top 12 enterprises in
volume of business, and third in
number of employees. But it
steadily violates the business
princpile of "stay ahead of the
times or die," the article
states.
Funds For Research

Tax talk:
The house of representatives
has pushed its budget cutting
past the billion dollar mark. Sev
eral members predict that the
total cuts will reach three billion
dollars.
IT SOUNDS interesting.
' But
Tax-cutting is now in the
TALK stage. Before taxes can
be cut, spending will have to be
cut. The congressional road ftom
TALK of cutting spending to ac
tual CUTTING of spending is a
long one with many chuck
holes along the way.
piOR EXAMPLE:
Appropriation bills normal
ly get their first hearings in sub
committees of the house of rep
resentatives. From a subcommit
tee, the bill goes to the main
committee. From the main com
mittee, it goes to the floor of
the house.
After the house has . disposed
of the bill, it goes to the senate.
Here it may be studied (and
amended, up or down) by a sen
ate subcommittee. From the sen
ate subcommittee it goes to the
main committee handling that
particular subject.
From the main committee, it
goes to the floor of the senate.
Anywhere along the line, it can
be amended up or down.
WHEN the senate as a whole
." finishes with the bill, it may
differ from the bill approved by
the house as a whole. In that
event, it goes to what is known
as a conference committee, com
posed of members of both houses.
This conference committee "rec
onciles" the house and senate
versions. The reconciled bill then
goes back to both houses, which
can accept or reject it.
After that, it goes to the Pres
ident for his signature. If he
vetoes it, his veto canbe upset
only by a three-fourths majority
of the lawmakers.
SO
-You see
It's a little early yet to jump
to any conclusions about reduc
tion of spending which, if an
economy program is to make
any sense at U, must precede
reduction of taxes.
If spending isn't cut, taxes can
be reduced only by the reckless
expedient of going deeper and
deeper into debt.
President Sukarno announced a
23-man cabinet of "experts" as
his first move toward making
his country what he calls a
"guided democracy." His next
step is to be the formation of a
"national council" which will
control the cabinet. There were
indications that, in the end, In
donesia would become a dictator
ship under Sukarno.
Britain, in its latest step to
strengthen its commonwealth by
giving its colonies home rule,

as much on research!"
Wages take 75 per cent of
postal costs. Mechanization
would cut the costs, says the
article, and enable the Post Of
fice to stay on top of the maU
flood. But instead of machines,
men are used in "primitive pro
cedures" that waste time, effort
and money. "In other industries,
the bigger the volume, the lower
the cost," the article says. "But
it's a technological law: you're
supposed to work with machines
bigger, faster, more efficient
machines."
Most maU sorting in this coun
try is now done by hand, but the
article suggests that much of it
could be mechanized. It states
that Holland began xperiment
ing with letter sorting machines
in 1928, and the Dutch Post Of
fice now has 11 such machines
each sorting 50 letters per min
ute to 300 or more destinations
as opposed to 25 per minute to
50 destinations by hand.
Need New Buldings
New bulidings in new loca
tions on the outskirts, near
airports are needed, with mid
town buildings concentrating on
local mail moving only a few
blocks between sender and ad
dressee. Helicopters could lift
whole trailers full of mail be
tween sorting plants and down
town locations.
Whether mechanized or not,
the article says, a post office
building should be "a sort of fac
tory." It should be tall, so the
mail can flow down from floor
to floor, or else, it should be flat
with a floor plan in which con
veyor belts can fan out like rail
road tracks in a freight yard.
Instead, the article points out,
we have "a Greek temple, vr at
best a First National Bank" and
many post offices date from the
last century. Many were built
during the depresison when
the idea was to make more
work" and designed "mostly to
express the majesty of the fed
eral government."
The article ends by 'stating
that "in the 20th century even
this wealthy country can't sub
sidize 19th-century mail systems
indefinitely." .

BAN PINBALL MACHINES
Recently Sheriff Strawn of
Coos county rounded up pinball
machines used illegally and de
stroyed them. He persists in his
policy of law enforcement. The
difficulty is that the state li
censes pinball machines "not
used for gambling purposes." But
when the sheriff's back is turn
ed, or the policeman's the win
ner may be given a payoff in
money or merchandise from the
proprietor. This prompts the
Coos Bay Times to urge the Leg
islature to ban all the pinball
machines. Salem did this many
years ago. and Portland finally
got rid of these bandits after
years of effort, including two
elections. Other towns by impos
ing high licenses, virtually be
come partners in illegal opera
tion of the devices.
Control of pinball locations
became one of the behind-the-scenes
controversies in Portland
in which the Teamsters' union
became involved. This apparent
ly led to ventures for other forms
of vice. Now that pinballs are
banned, this .racket is ended.
Other forms of gambling persist
as recent raids show, but they
are not as common nor so open
nor so much of a lure as the
beguiling pinball or slot ma
chine. We are glad to endorse
the recommendation of the Coos
Bay paper. Oregon Statesman,

Babson Sees Growth
For Citrus
By ROGER W BABSON

father driving his horse and
buggy to Salem 15 miles away,
to get an or

very sick aunt.
Those were the
days when no

a n orange i n

Borer W. Babtun we hung by the
fireside before going to bed on
Christmas Eve. I remember later
one orange was given by the
public school principal as a re
ward for having perfect attend
ance for the entire school year.
In 1900 the entire state of
Florida produced only 1,000,000
boxes of oranges. In 1923, when
I first came to Florida, produc
tion was only 10,000,000 boxes.
This year it will be 95,000,000
or 100,000,000 boxes. With
barjies continuing to be given
orange juice as their first food
and with continued heavy ad
vertising, nothing can stop the
demand for orange juice. Furth
ermore, there have been great
improvements and developments
in the industry.
When I first came to Florida
winters only, "whole fruit" was
shipped out of the state and sold.
Then, about 25 years ago, the
the co-operatives were devel
oped and jome orange juice was
then , canned This, however, al
ways had a little bitter taste.
Some 10 years ago the "frozen
concentrate" was invented. This
gives exactly the same taste as
the fresh juice and has greatly
increased the consumption of or
ange juice as well as the health
of the entire nation.
The American Habit
Most orange juice is drunk
just before breakfast. This means
that the frozen concentrate must
be mixed with water and
thoroughly melted some ten min
utes 'before serving. This has
caused a growing demand for a
new product known as "chilled",
orange juice. As soon as this
juice is squeezed from the orange
it is stored and- transported to
the large cities of the North in
refrigerated trucks at about 40
degrees temperature, so that the
juice holds its perfect flavor. It
is then put in paper cartons and
delivered by the dairy companies
along with the morning milk.
As a result, the housewife can
lie in bed ten minutes longer.
This is taking like wild fire.

ing so fast that orange groves
are becoming more valuable as"
home sites and citrus production
is decreasing.
Keeping Up To Date
All of this competition results
in constantly improved quality
and in keeping the price within
the reach ot all families. Hence,
with the constant growth in pop
ulation, demand will continue to
increase. But North America is
not the only market for citrus
juices. Foveign governments are
also recognizing their great
health value.
The English government is
buying the juice in a super-concentrated
non-refrigerated form,
like molasses, and distributing
it to its babies to supplement a
small supply received from
Spain, Italy and other Mediter
ranean sources. To get good pro
ducts, however, these countries
must import phosphate and other
fertilized chemicals, most of
which come from Florida close
by the center of the Florida cit
rus industry. This gives Florida
an advantage over all the world.
Opportunities Elsewhere
I, however, am not telling this
story about the citrus industry
just to boom Florida. I am tell
ing it to show what a group of
farmers can do by uniting in co
operatives gnd getting the help
of research and advertising. The
citrus industry has never . had
subsidies or price guarantees.. It
has fought its own battles with
out any limiting of acreage or
government loans on, surplus
crops.
Why cannot the farmers of our
Central West and South do the
same thing with their surplus
corn, wheat, cotton and other
products? Henry Ford once said
to me: "When the farmers wake
up and quit crying on Uncle
Sam's shoulders they can find a
great use and market for their
products as raw materials in in
dustry." Agriculture needs a
great leader like Henry Ford
and then national advertising
which the humble citrus grow
ers of Florida are giving their
products.
