Down to Earth Orchestra at Lake COmpOunce Sun-
 day Evening

Sam Donahue, "America's Most Refreshing Bandleader." brings a band to Lake Compounce Sunday night that is as attractive to the eye as it is to the ear. Musicians rave about the band because 1t has what they term "a real beat" and fine conception, ,"-in the common vernacular, danceable group which plays tempos in good taste.
 Donahue's down to earth" nat ural style of rhythms is described by critics as the most refreshing in the past decade, his modern, Etreamlined music as youthful in spirit as the leaders own appear ance. His arrangements run the gamut of music, from sweet to swing, from Hitting waltzes to killer diller fag-wavers, all played in. a naturalness and good taste that have been a delight to young and old.
 Sam keynotes his bands theme when he says, we play music the way we feel 1t, honest, down to earth music, without tthe conner cial bunk which so many bands use to capture the public eye"
 Featured on the vocals is lovely Donna Mason, a charming miss who bids fair to become one of the top

TOWN TO SUPPLY
 BLOOD FOR CREW

Marblehead, Mass, Aug. 28-(UP) A campaign to have residents of this town donate sufficient blood to fill the transmission requirements of the crew of the U. s. cruiser Marblehead when that battered ship goes to sea again was spon- sored today by the Live Wire club.
 The club, designed to aid and comfort Marblehead men in the armed services, voted the action at meeting last night. Club officials believed they might have difficulty in obtaining permission to have blood of local residents earmarked for the Marblehead but said their campaign should speed the response to the governments appeal for do- nations.
 The Marblehead, reported sunk several times by the Japanese, limped int oan east coast port this spring after a trip half way around the world. President Roosevelt praised heroic officers and men of the Marblehead in radio speech.

 No 'Boogie- Woogie," Please!
 TJe added, "While it may seem strange, demands for 'boogie- woogie' muSic are definitely in the minority in USO clubhouses located inland, and remote from big cities on the east coast"

Solving the Medical Problem
lNew York Timesl

Our Army assigns about 6.5 medical officers to care for LOGO enlisted men. The British ratio is said to be ATS Does it follow that our forces are er-doctored? It is argued that the 65 ratio comes down from time when the Army was small and that force of 1oOO00OO can do with less. We shall know unless thorough, impartial survey of the new Army's medical needs is made Without such survey the families of men in service would resent any attempt at de-doctoring the Army, which is what Senator Peppers committee implies when it speaks of "a tremendous over mitarzation" of medical Even if it were found that the ratio of medical officers to enlisted could be lowered by as much 20 percent, we could not solve the medical problem presented by 400 industrial which have been stripped of most of their doctors, which have few hospitals and which vast culture tubes of disease Nor would it do any good to follow Charles P. Taft's advice, given before the American Public Health Association, and refrain from conscripting our full quota of military doctors until Army units are ready for front-line action
 The national health problem is largely one of organizing and distributing the physicians st avail able. Hence the recommendation of Senator Pepper committee that civilian agency be created with power to act. But to create such agency, or to give the Procurement and Assignment Service the power it seeks, means duplication of the United States Public Health Service conflict with it. We have seen what clashes of authority mean in raising industrial production to a level. Now it is seriously proposed to make similar mistake ii medical matters
 totatarian war cannot be fought without cen trazed control If we rid ourselves of Governmental restrictions after the last war can do so again. Since the Public Health Service is already organized for the peoples health it's powers should be enlarged for the duration of the that it may rationaly distribute doctors, who will inevitably be drafted, and assure them financial security and the proper scientific facilities.

BRAGGING

War Production Board Chairman Donald Nelson could half-nelson his tongue if he can't handle it any better tha he has over the last week end
 On Saturday the WIPE head man painted beautiful and rosy picture of American production for He said that the United States now is pro- ducng than all of the Axis countries combined, that all of the United Nations producing more than twice as much as the totalitarians.
 Then later he came out with a statement which said that American production is terrible. It's slip ping. We produced fewer ships in the last month than in the month before There were many de- creases in other forms of armaments
 Perhaps one of the reasons for the big lag in production is a statement such as Nelson issued first statement that certainly won't help to spur industriasts and workers on to greater efforts
 Why create false spirit of optimism, especially when it is only to be shattered few days later?
 To say that producing than all of the Axis countries combined doesn't mean anything in itself. We far behind in armaments when We entered the conflict What is important is this
 How much do we now have compared with what the enemy has?
 The is being fought now. The Axis had a head start It has taken long time to match the industrial output of the enemy nations and it may take twice long to produce enough to catch up
 Germany and Italy are producing under greater difficulties than in the United States The industrial cities of the United States are not sub ject to continuous and destructive bombngs.
 There should be no bragging over the fact that finally have been able match the stride of the Axis nations.

COAL SHORTAGE HERE E DUE TO
 LACK IN STATES

The Governors Office announced today that is has received several complaints from Juneau residents regarding the present shortage of coal in Juneau
 The matter has been taken up with the War Shipping Adminis- tration in Seattle, the Office an- nounced, and the VISA has guaran- teed shipping space for all coal that can be secured.
 But there also is coal shortage in the States due to the winter and wholesale conversion of many oil furnaces to coal furnaces, due to the oil shortage
 The Office stated that it has not been due to the lack of ship ping space or faulty business by Juneau dealers that the coal has not arrived regularly in Juneau, and announced that the next boat from the South will have several carloads of coal for Juneau.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do nOt compel"
FRIDAY, DECEMBER

Benefic aspects rule today which is suspicious for most activities after the early morning hours. The i Navy and Air Forces are under fortunate planetary influences.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls may find this happy day for social contacts but disappointing for TO- nance. The seers counsel young folk to make the most of oppor- tunities for nasty courtshlp. Whlle wartime marriages may not be wise from a mercenary point ot view, postwar conditions will pro duce the greatest number of spin sters in all American history With sentiment at high tide during world conflict, love affairs become of ex- traordinary importance, astrolo- gers announce.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is a fortunate day for workers who VIII 1 be acclaimed for true heroism. In- dustry is to make such progress | in the new year that it will hast en the end of the war which, how ever, will extend through many months of extreme conflict. This month will reveal shortages in many shops which cannot renew depleted stocks. As if by magic, many lines of merchandise sud- denly will become exhausted but always there will be substitutes. Next week it will be apparent that certain prices frozen by the Gov ernment have sustained a mid winter thaw. Luxuries as well as staples will be costly.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Christmas for the children of wartime work CTS will be more than day of gift giving, if the stars are wisely interpreted. The need of nursery schools will be met by philanthro- pists and by organizations spon- sored by the Government, astrolo- gers forecast. Thus science will be applied to the feeding and train- ing of babies who otherwise would receive casual care or would sui fer from neglect Through. war ex1- gencies will develop unexpected benefits. 1t is predicted.
 INTERNATIONAL A FF A R $: As the tide turns toward victory for the United Nations, the bar barrie methods of the Axis forces will reach such extremes of cruelty such slaughter of innocents, that even among enemies there will be horror that sows seed for future revolt, astrologers foretell. h. creased ferocity and treachery will cause serious losses of men ano property for the Allies but stead fly they will gain the power t!e win.
 Persons whose birthdate it k have the augury of year of fair ly good luck. Benefits will come tC men and women but there may bt sudden setbackS.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be remarkable in theil characteristics = independent, far seeing, sincere and generous. They should be bright in mind ane strong in body.

Age of Insects
Philadelphia Record


 We have often thought we were approaching an Age of the Insects but worst fears weren't real ized until the appearance of Near Horizons,' by Edwin Way Teale.
 Teale encouraging the things by operating an insect garden.
 He's discovered battling butterflies. They fight each other and other insects-so far. But we are waiting to hear any day they've decided to attack human beings with all the ferocity of yellow jackets. He's discovered, too, insect called rat-tailed maggot that's smart enough to get air while under water by using tube in it's tail Probably getting ready for a submarine attack
 And there's another insect that builds is own castle in the air by blowing bubbles and uses it to catch other insects.
 Only bright spot in the book is the announce ment that insects have poor sight. But we've never known that to bother mosquitoes hornets when they really got their minds stinging.
 We're still waiting to hear that the horror story told some years ago by the New Yorker magazine has true-that termites have learned to eat steel
