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.

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. -

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. , -

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

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.
