POWDERED
MEAT NEXT?
(Ontario Daily Report)


The most recent food pronouncement
out Of Washington can we'll disturb the
housewife Some of our food managers
warn lis to get ready for powdered meat.
They say that although the American
people have never taken too well to powd-
cred milk and dehydrated eggs, they had
better be prepared to use them.
But that Is not the final blow. Added
to the fact that meat will be as precious
as gold, but not as plentiful, we must
face meat in an unfamiliar form. Just
why nice juicy steak or pork roast
should be powdered before being handed
over to the consumer is beyond us.
Could it be that the boys in Washing
ton are confusing the home-folks with
our land-lease allies? Powdered meat
might we'll be necessary to save ship
ping space to North Africa or to Aus
1rana But why cannot we be left our
preferred way Of eating meat? All of our
meat does not come from one small area,
from whence it must be distributed over
thousands of miles by railroad and truck.
The west produces meat as we'll as the
middle west.
In their zeal to condition the people
for the war, our food czars may find that
they have gene step too far when they
tell us we cannot look on meat when 1t is
red. We can take short rations of meat
and will do so gladly if it is necessary.
We will cooperate in any reasonable way.
But it definitely goes against the grain to
he forced to take the limited amount of
meat each of us will be allowed in form
not only unfamiliar but unpalatable. We
demand reconsideration of the powdered
meat formula Steaks must remain
steaks, and chops, chops-something we
can get our teeth into.

DID THEY UNDERESTIMATE
THE ENEMY'S STRENGTH?

The chorus is going up here and there
sung by a few nationally known column
lists and commentators, that the Allies
apparently undereStimated m II
strength in Tunisia. or the German ablIl-
ty to reinforce its strength there.
We dissent
We're rather inclined to believe that
if there was any error in calculations at
all. it was on the side Of overeStlmatmg
the enemy's strength-and that Is al
ways the safest rule in war. 1t saves
lives.
We do not believe the Anglo-American
leaders underestimated German strength
in Tunisia for the simple reason that the
Nazi power there was known pretty much
in detail. Also, it was evident that the
Germans, if they wished, could reinforce
their troops across the short distance
they had to traverse. To clinch the are
ment. there were official Statemen'
the very beginning of the Africa y
paign that the Nazs would fight arly
to hold their beachheads there
AS to understanding resista At
might be another matter. The d
no right to expect that the Frenc
offer as little resistance as they de
men. on the other hand, had to 60 J..
tie campaign on the theory that the
French, motivated by Nlchy, would otter
all possible resistance. That was the only
safe assumption.
1t was all to our benefit that the French
gave little more than token resistance.
Yet that fact may, in addition, have
thrown our timetable out of schedule, and
made it necessary to pause and consoll-
date gains going against the stronger
Germans forces in Tunisia. which we
knew of certainty would resist as
fiercely as they could.
Yet. even with the pause to consoli-
date forces, our leaders in North Africa
are still a month ahead of schedule.
Does that sound like misunderstanding
the enemy? Not to us, it doesn't.

Capital Talk

Peter Edison

n liability to any Army. Not only
Is the soldier himself counted out,
but there must be disqualification
provided with doctors and nurses
to care for him. The big job of
psvchiatry in wartime is to find
these potential psychiatric cases be-
fore they become nervous break
downs. and to see that they are
weeded out before they become pub
lie charges.
IT'S SOMETHING NEW
One principal trouble is that
psychiatry is still such new science
that there is no sure test to tell
how men who may be getting along
all right in civilian life will behave
under the changed conditions OF
actual combat. or even in the war
training period. There Is no test
to determine a mans courage ana
endurance. What it takes to weed
out the mental misfits for war IS
close checkup on trainees IN the
pre- combat stages, and that's What
the Army's NP.'S are being deVel-
oped to do.
When a young doctor is com
missioned as an Mp. i'll the
Army Medical Corps. he Is as
signed first to what is known as
a neuro- -psychiatric pool at one
of the large Army general hos
pitals. The Mp. may spend from
several -.-eeks to several months in
this pool, getting his indoctrina-
ton as a soldier, and receiving his
first training in military psychia-
try. learning how to handle cases
in large numbe-r. and how to run
psychiatric clinic, for your
Army psychiatrist must be pre-
pared to handle up to 175 cases
a day.
When the Armv MP. completes
this internship and is himself con-
ditional to Army life, then he Will
be ready for assignment with troops
in the field. to detect and treat
mental and nervous cases.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-12-17

If you happen to hear of some
soldier having to so see an MP
| in this war. if YOU happen to know
of some officer getting an MP :
commission. don't think this is a
mistaken reference to an MP" or
military policeman.
MP" Is a perfectly good Army
abbreviation. 1t stands for "Neuro-
PSychiatriSt an Army doctor who
is a specialist in the study and
traetment of nervous and mental
diseases.
You may not have heard much
of the N.P.'S before, but you may
hear more and more about them
in the future, for this relatively
new medical science of neuro-
psychiatry is playing an increas-
ingly important part in this mod
ern. ultra archaeological, super
psychological of all wars.
Before any soldier is sent over
seas. he is given an MP. eXamina-
ton. During his induction and
training periods. the soldier may.
get one or two or three previous
MP. examinations. The purpose is
to keen the number of nervous and
mental casualties to as low figure
as possible.
Use of psychiatry in the US,
Army is still far below what the
psychiatristS themselves would like
to see, and far below the develop
ment of neuro-pSychiatry in the
German army One reason is that.
there aren't enough American
psychiatrists.
PSYCHIATRIST SHORTAGE
In the entire United States there
are perhaps ONLY 5000 recognized
specialists in this field of medi-
cine. And many Of these pSycha-
trists are too old for Army serv-
ice. while others are essential for
staff work III institutions. The re-
suit is that the available qualified
personnel for the armed services is
onlv around 900. I
How many phychiatristS the
Army should have is somewhat OF
question Army Medical Corps
organization calls for a minimum
cf one doctor to every 1000 soldiers
in peacetimeS. Today the Army
has 65 doctors for every 1000 men
and eventually may have about 4.5
doctors to every 1000 men. DR..
Tanv Steckel. leading authority in
the field of psychiatrv. has recom-
mended one psvchiatrist for every
| 5000 soldiers. That would mean 200
2hychiatrists for every million men.

On that basis. there Just aren't

EVERY SHIP COUNTS
Nevada State JournaD

One of the most effective celebrations
Of the first anniversary of this nations
entry into the war was the contribution
of the shipbuilding industry. In th.2e
days at least Is warships were launched
at various yards.
What is probably the mightiest battle
ship in the world hit the water at the
Philadelphia navy yard. She is the Z. 5.
s. New Jersey, whose actual displacement
ment is secret but is known to exceed
$4,000 tons.
The three-day period also includes the
launching of the aircraft carriers Belleau
Wood and Bunker Hill, the destroyer
tender Piedmont, the cruiser Miami, the
destroyer Thatcher, six minesweepers
two escort ships and special combat YES
sci Of an undisclosed nature.
The launching of these ships empha-
sizes the progress the United States is
making in the construction of navy cap
able of taking its full part in the fighting
of the global war. The program is
mighty one. It's completion lies far in
the future, but every additional vessel
which joins the fleet is just one more
weapon TO be brought to bear upon Amer
ica's enemies in the oceans of the world.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLER

GO home and pat on a dress.
Then come back and testify.
That is What a Tennessee judge
recently told a young woman who
appeared before him dressed in
Slacks
The Girl couldn't protest - but
the women of America can.
Back in the days when slacks
were play clothes a Judge might
have had some reason for thinking
they weren't dignified enough for
a court of law But today, Slacks
are work clothes They have
taken on new dignity now that they
have become work Cniform.
Hasn't the judge heard that the
War Production Board thinks Slacks
are so necessary to the work women
are doing today that high priority
ratings have been issued for the
manufacture OF Womens overallS,
Coveralls, and slacks?
A judge. or any man, has per-
feet right to think that skirts are
moro becoming 70 women than
slacks But the time is past when
woman in slacks should be con-
sidered improperly dressed.
THEY'RE CONVENIENT
Too many women are finding
them convenient and comfortable
as they Go the work of men in in
Gustry. And tao many housewives
are finding them just the thing
as they take on more of the heavy
work around their yards and
houses, and as they walk to and
from the grocery in cold weather
instead of riding in warm cars as
they used to do.
So. if women want to wear pants,
they certainly have earned the
right. And if pants are good
enough for women to wear when
they build airplanes and work on
assembly lines, then they ought to
he good enough for women to wear
in any court il the land.

HELP YOURSELF;
SAVE YOUR CANS

Any contribution you make to the cur
rent tin can salvage drive in Imperial
Valley is a contribution directly to your
own welfare for the duration of the war.
On the broader scale, of course, the tin
is needed in arms factories and a thous-
and other war production centers.
On the selfish side, the tin is needed
in a hundred and one small articles you
use every day, without giving them sec
ond thought. If the nation runs too short
Of tin, you'll be doing without these
things-bottle caps, more tin cans, host
of items like that-and when that time
comes, you will realize how much your
normal life depends upon tin.
Gather up your tin cans now, and do"
nate them to the salvage committee.
Give them, first because Uncle Sam
needs them to help whip the most dan
gerous international gangsters the world
has even seen.
Give them, secondl.-. so that your econ

as possible in time when all sorts of
economic Interruptions are absolutely
necessary.
