Professor Hans Reiter, president of the Federal Health Board, recently designated potatoes, fish and ham as the principal items of diet on the Nazi menu for the coming year. Potatoes grow in German soil, fish swim in the new Germanic lake, the North Sea, and ham is readily produced from those fat W est phalian porkers that go squealing through the village market place in Koesfeld. German products all, their use keeps the Reich’s prec ious trade balance from being wasted on for eign luxuries, a trade balance that can better be used on food for guns than for stomachs. Even bread will be scarce this year, the professor reports, with the ever-present tur nip suggested as the best substitute. The German patriot will now order a ‘‘ham on turnip” for his luncheon feast, and turn over the ‘‘rye” as his contribution towards a bigger and better army. It's an old saying that armies fight on their stomachs. Germany, under Nazi leadership, provides the first example of an entire nation dieting its way to war. RED FLANNEL DAYS Women of the old red flannel days were more sensibly dressed than the women of to day,” declared a merchant a few days ago But he doesn't want his name mentioned tor obvious reasons. In those days, he goes on to say. "we used to sell 20 yards of silk for one dress. Now a woman buys three yards and considers that more than enough. Then there were only three or four shades of silk; now there are hundreds. The men of fifty years ago were superstitious in the mat ter of what they wore. In winter it had to be red flannel underwear and only a few people of the richer class could be induced to wear white marine. Today, manufacturers tell us, there are 4800 different articles of women's u n d er clo th in g and 1800 different kinds and shades of stockings. Today it is as hard to find a red flannel garment as it is to find a needle in a haystack. And yet some of the old-timers often wonder if in the matter of comfort the old red flannel days did not. after all have it all over these more modern times. THE BONNEVILLE DAM CHBONICLE SH IN IN G ARMOR I do not sing of soldiers brave W ho at their country’s call W ent forth to meet their fellow-men And slew them, one and all But of the man who goes to work No matter what the weather Or how distasteful be the task If it keeps his home together. These are the men unknown, unsung W ho wage the better fight; These are the peace-time heroes To clothe in armor bright. — W ill Helm W H Y N O T TRY TH IS? W onder why most people wait until spring to do a lot of odd jobs around the house when they could be done just as well now while there is more time to devote to such things. If there is a little inside painting or varnishing job to do there is no reason why it cannot be attended to, in a lot of instances, during the winter months. Opening the windows at top and bottom an inch or so for a short time in chilly weather won’t freeze anybody, and the paint job will dry quickly. And locks and other hardware patching on the inside of the house can be looked after now just as well as in the spring, when there are so many other things demanding attention. The folks who accomplish something along his line now that ordinarily would be put over until spring will find themselves ahead of their neighbors when the regular spring season arrives, and they will also find they have saved up a lot of energy by doing many of these inside jobs during the winter months. The worst thing that can be done for per sons seriously injured in automobile accidents is to bundle them into a private car and rush them off to a hospital. Dr. Fred Strieker of the University of Michigan advises. Bone and skull fractures are frequently aggravated by quick or unskilled handling. W hen an am bulance can be called, first aid should be* lim ited chiefly to keeping the patient warm and halting profuse bleeding. If no other trans portation is available, the patient may be car ried to a hospital in the bed of a truck, pro vided broken bones have been splinted and the patient is kept warm. G ET SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS During last December 143 Oregon workers or their estates were paid a total of $3,843.66 under the Old-Age Insurance provisions of the Social Security Act, making an average first year insurance payment of $26.88. During the first year of the Old-Age Insurance pro gram 493 Oregon workers, or their estates, received payments as they reached age 65 or died. Payments are three and one-half per cent on wages earned in commerce and indus try in 1937 and before age 65 or death. A man can live and prosper with the handi cap of a wooden leg, but getting through this world with a wooden head is next to impos sible. W e can't help feeling that some people miss the road to happiness because they insist on trying out all the detours. Have you ever noticed that many a man makes a monkey of himself by trying to ape somebody else? Maybe the reason more of us are not fam ous is because some of us still have to work for a living.
