APPLES, SUNNY SIDE UP
Now that the Nazi nabobs have gotten
around to regulating the breakfast habits of
the Fatherland, it would appear that the Ger
man national breakfast will soon become,
‘‘two fried apples, sunny side up.”
The food ministry, finding that eggs have
gone the way of butter and become a luxury
product, suggested recently that Hans and
Fritz learn to breakfast on those good Aryan
products of German soil—turnips, apples and
curd cheese.
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.

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.
