.'J' - In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS When Mr. K gets here Let'i hope he notes that, while we have a 'powerful military force IN BEING .and are building an even MORE powerful one to meet the needs of the, future, we are also able to produce ALL THE FOOD AND GADGETS OUR PEOPLE CAN USE. That shows STRENGTH in the American economy. No military expert who has ever put his thoughts on paper has failed to recognize Jhe su preme importance of a strong and well balanced domestic economy. o 1ITHY IS that important? " It's like this: ' . Inviting Mr. K to visit us and look us over is a long shot gamble. It can pay off only if what he sees convinces him that America is too strong to be safely attacked. - If he is convinced of Jhat, he'll go home in a more PEACEFUL mood. Sunday, Sept. 13, 195 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdferd, Qr. CO- iJ Let's show him our ware houses STUFFED with food. Let's let him see 'our stockpiles , of strategic raw materials that are getting so big we're won dering what to do with them. Don't think he won't be im pressed. He's nobody's fool. He knows that ample food and raw materials are as essential to WINNING A WAR as guns and planes and missiles. Ca pacity to produce BOTH in abundance is proof of invinci ble strength.- TI7HAT OF Russia? Is she able to produce both food and weapons in the abundance necessary to win an all-out war? ' One wonders. FOR EXAMPLE: Mr. K is reported to have decreed that residents of cities in a number of the Soviet re publics shall no longer be al lowed to keep livestock . on their premises - cows, pigs, goats, chickens, etc. Why? ' . . ' , The reason given for the de cree was that keeping live stock in towns and cities is TOO WASTEFUL OF FEED. That is to say: It is more eco nomical to feed animals out in the country, where the feed is grown, than to permit them to be kept in the. towns where the feed has to be hauled in to them. That betrays WORRY about sufficient food.' Food is a basic raw ; material of war. It al ways -f has been. One of the primary strategies of war is to blockade our enemy and starve him out. ANYWAY -. Let's not conceal from Mr. l. our vast stores of food. They are proof of our ability to produce a super-abundance of it even while we are strain ing to build immense arma ments. -Let's not conceal from him the fact that our problem is not the MAKING of civilian gadgets for our people. Our problem is to SELL them. That is proof of the fabulous capacity of our PRODUCTION system. fHAT proves strength. - - ' Strength is fill Mr. K fear- , ' - ' Salem -(DPS- Robert D.

Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERF TVriGHT CLUB COMICS especially ones who rattle off punch i- ' lines at the rate of three a minute know that some of their "quickies" will fall flat If too many gags "lay' an eeg," they have covering sallies tucked away in the back of their, heads to cover their embarrassment. One device -is to blame the writer of', their material, another to start picking on some prom- inent customer at a ringside table. Milton Berle, Joe E. ; Lewis, Henny Youngman and George Jessel excel at this sort of "ad lib give- " and-take with unenthusias lic audiences. -'' Gene Baylos ' recently pulled a new one that broke the ice 'at a Beverly Hills night club. After four successive ' sSllies earned' him nothing more than a few scattered titters, he suddenly" turned serious and asked the customers, "Did you, ever have the feeling you were walking up a gangplank and there was no ship there?'.' His listeners must indeed have known what he meant, because from then on his act went jOver with a bang. , - 1959. by Bennett Cert Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate Small Worlds Around Us ...... . -' By Lynn M. Watkins Thunder-Lightning May , Be Nuisance But Necessary Without thinking much about it you might suppose that we could get alpng beau tifully without electrical storms. r .; .' But thune'er and lightning are pretty important. Simply stated electrical storms are necessary to the continuation of all lif on this earth. They operate constancy to main tain an electrical balance in our atmosphere. . Electrical storms play an v important part in the growing of plants and without plants we would be in a bad way. In fact with out them we wouldn't be here very long. ; : --Lightning oxidizes the ni trogen in the atmosphere and nitrogen Js essential to all growipg plants, whether the plant is a blade of grass or a head of lettuce. Seems there Is a constant leakage of elec tricity from our earth and lightning replenishes our sup ply about as rapidly as we lose it. . . s- ;, -y, Invisible Gas . Ozone, usually present dur ing and after thunderstorms, is actually an invisible gas that acts as an air: purifier It has been found that plants, annnals, and man himself are healthier in regions . where ozone is -available in generous amounts. We see and hear a Evangelist Sets ; . . y Services in Yreka . Yreka - Evangelist Howard Smith will open a week-long series of meetings, "New Life Crusade," at the First Baptist church in Yreka today. Services today are sched uled at 11 o'clock this morn ing and 7:30 o'clock this eve ning. Services during the week days are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. daily through Sept. 20. The Pacific shoreline of the United States from Mexico to Canada, extends 1,700 miles, but the National Park Service found that 1,448 miles of this is privately owned -and riot available for public - recrea tion. ; -; . i " thunderstorm. . At times we can smell one, for frequently ozone, a bacteria destroying gas,, is usually present after a bright flash of lightning. - Hardly an agreement has been reached as to exactly what causes the electrical im pulse to build up in a cloud whereby it suddenly begins to produce lighting. , The cloud , of .. course, con tains a great amount of water in the form of vapor. Each drop contains a small amount of electricity. All these charg ed . drops are jumbled to gether, tossed, thrown and se verely shook up. The drops become separated .into posi tive and negative charges of electric energy. Probably the positive ones ascend to the top of the cloud while the negative ones hand around near the bottom. , Trouble Begins - Vwhen they try to get back together again or try to get farther, apart, the trouble be gins, and .. the lightning flashes. . These, flashes - are really a series of . short flashes, chasing one another so closely they look like one long flash. And there we are again. Once more they are trying to get together. - Just how - do all these flashes keep missing the for ests of TV antennas? That's something for the boys to work on, but as long as most of them keep missing, why worry? . Naturally, you don't want to be 'struck by light ning., Then keep inside steel topped automobile or a steel framed, building. ; A hole in- ithe ground is good but never , under a lone tree standing in the open. Don't go swimming. If you are caught out in a 'small boat, lie down. Don't play like Washington crossing the Delaware.1 Don't believe the old adage about lighting never striking twice in the same' place. It can and does. If the storm occurs on Sat urday night, dont get in the bath tub. , Stay dirty until the storm-is over.
