Missing Comet
Redisc0uered
BY Scientist

CHICAGO, June l9-lP)-
Rediscovery of a comet missing
in the skies for l3 years was
announced today by DR.. Otto
Struce of the University Of Chi
cago and director of YerkeS and
Mcdonald observatories.
He credited George Van
Biesbroeck, professor of practI-
cal astronomy at Yerkes, with
finding comet Forbes, a rela-
lively small object discovered
in 1929 by a South African as
tronomer after whom 1t was
named.
Astronomers determined COM
ct Forbes would pass around the
sun every six and one-half years
but because its path lies near
that of Jupiter the comet IS
susceptible to the pull of this
largest of the planets.
At the time the comet was
scheduled to return in 1885 as
tronomers could not detect 1T,
apparently because Jupiter had
pulled it into an unfaVorable OBJ
Sensational position. +. X.

cast a temperance this year
and it was observed at Yerkes
shortly before dawn June 10.
The object is SO faint that ad-
ditional observation using eX-
tremely fast Photographic plates
and requiring the most transpar-
ent skies possible are required
to continue its study.

Government Would End
State, County Fairs

WASHINGTON, June l9-(H)
The government asked today
that all state and county fairs,
non-essential conventions, meet
ings and group tours be post
poned until the war is over.
Joseph B. Eastman, defense
transportation director, made
the appeal and said that if civil
ians restricted their use of trains
and buses the government might
not have to take direct control
over travel. ,
In asking postponement OF
fairs, Eastman said farmers
should not be encouraged TO use
tires for such non-esSentlal pur-
poses.
Attendance at meetings con-
nected with the war effort, ne
said. should be skeletlonlzed
along the line of the exam
pie set by the American Legion
in its forthcoming convention

YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO BUY WAR BONDS

Gray Casey, who is 81 years old and,
according to his own description, lust
working stiff" pumped an envelope
down on the counter and said, Il just
thought lot of people ought to know
how important it is to win this war, and
some of US can't do anything but hand
over our money for Uncle Sam to buy
bullets with"
His listener eyed the envelope, but
Casey went on.
81 been working three years for S25 a
month, janitoring around the irrigation
district office over at Holtville. Then for
a while | got job as Waterman on the
All American canal, and l made S120 a
month at that. Now that jobs petered
out, and I'll get something else to do,
guess. But I'm sure going to keep on
buying these things"
With that, he opened the envelope
1t contained one SIS War Bond Con
which maturity is 5000, and stamp
book in which SIS worth of War Stamps
have already been pasted
81 started buying them right after
Pearl Harbor," he explained up to then,
/ guess l didn't think much about how
things were going. But when Pearl Har-
Dor happened, WE'LL just figured it
was time for all of us to start in doing
whatever we could to whip those fell
lows
So Gray Casey, who's not soldier mate
rial and hasn't the skill they need in
Americas war factories, is doing his part
to help win the war.
Are you?
Casey doesn't make lot of money. By
some standards, he earns less than live
lihood He could find lot of other
things to do with his money, things like
buying new clothes, and fancier food,
and such like. But instead he's investing
in the future of America, and in his own
future. He's buying War Bonds, as fast
as he can get the money.
Casey figures he can't afford not to
buy slice in winning the war. It's his
war, isn't it? It's every Americans war!
He's right-all the way.

MUST HAVE COMFORT
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL

Instead of lying awake and toss
ing, Miss Alden suggests:
l. Write out the tasks you need
to remember to do tomorrow. es-
pecially if they seem to weigh heav-
lily on your mind.
2. Make the bed correctly, with
smooth corners to hold sheets Sc
cure.
3. Keep the bedroom as tidy as
possible and be sure you have suf-
ficient covers to keep warm enough
4. Select loose nightgowns or,
if you prefer them, loose-fitting
pajanas.
Exercise also will help you to re-
lax, even when, and Indeed, par
ticularly when, you are too tired
to go to Sleep" Try tensing your
muscles. Lying in bed on your
back with eyes closed. raise both
arms vertically and clinch fists for
minute, then let arms drop like a
rag dolls. Then bend both feet
down, stretching ankles, and at the
same time bend the toes down. Hold
for minute, and let them 90 limp
suddenly.
Rest a few minutes and stretch
the whole body. You might lie on
your stomach and grasp the head
board for support. Stretch and tense
the whole body, then relax and re-
peat.

FOR THE RECORD

Chicago SUM
Several weeks ago, u. captain, a lieuten-
ant and three sergeants of the American
Army attached to General Wainwright
in Bataan set out in a 50-foot launch to
carry food and ammunition from the
Luzon base to the island fortress of Cor
regidor A sudden storm swept them out
of Manila bay. They drifted for eight
days in the open boat, finally reaching
the coast of Indo- China-and what they
must have thought was safety.
The Vichy French authorities in lndo-
China promptly turned them over to the
japanese. If they are still alive today,
they are probably being subjected to the
daily tortures for which the japanese
have made themselves Infamous
Let this incident, reported by the Office
of Facts and Figures, be entered in the
ledger where we store up the deeds OF
friends and enemies for future reference.
And if any of the men of Vichy who have
repeatedly betrayed the decency of all
mankind have the temerity to show up at
the peace table with outstretched palms,
let us remind them that they, also, were
against us.

PRICE CEILINGS

The governments sweeping decree fix
ing ceilings on prices for commodities
and service, pegging rents and other
wise tying down the economic life OF the
nation against the danger of an infla-
ton tornado, will meet with pretty APP
prevail from the man in the street, and
from his wife in the kitchen.
1t is liable to be a boomerang against
the political fortunes of the administra-
ton, however, because it is apt to force
showdown on the one issue where the
administration even now is trying to
avoid a showdown. The issue of putting
a ceiling on wages.
Unless the War Labor Board is able
to do what President Roosevelt has indi-
Gated it will do-prevent further decided
upward surges in wages-the price Tx
ing rule is going to be major headache.
If wages are allowed to go without strict
control, many firms which will be forced
to pay higher wages and yet cannot
charge more for their products, will face
complete bankruptcy. Not just few
firms. Not a minority of them. A ter
rible lot of them.
The result might be economic collapse
for the whole nation. The administra
ton, of course, cannot allow that to hap
pen. So it may be forced by circum-
stances, and not by pressure from the
other side to call the turn on soaring
wages Perhaps it will be all to the good,
in the end
We should like to see the issue faced
Squarely now, however, SO that the nation
can cancel out one more worry which
takes time out from the war effort.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS
NEED NOT BE STOPPED
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
High school athletics in California are
practically at standstill because of deci-
sions made incident to tire rationing. In
terschool competition hardly exists. Orc
vile school trustees would permit local
teams to compete if they could find other
schools of the same frame of mind.
The question is whether this situation
is necessary or whether it is just way
out for certain school officials who al
ways have been luke warm towards COM
petitive athletics.
Those who think the schools should
not sacrifice inter-city athletics point to
telegram from the rubber rationlng
bureau received by the secretary of the
state high school athletic association in
New York. 1t reads:
Federal authorities rule that school
buses used primarily, meaning 1872 or
more of the time, for transportation from
home to places of instruction are entitled
to tires even though partly used for trans.
portation of athletic teams. Buses used
primarily for transportation of athletic
teams are not entitled to tires"
Oroville High school authorities say
that the school buses used for athletics
in Oroville in normal times travel less
than one percent of the total distances
used for carrying students to and from
school.
The President recently reiterated his
original proclamation that athletic and
recreational programs should be carried
on and we see no reason why local high
school athletics should come to stand
still

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

I expect the war atmosphere
makes it easier for some women
to get their beauty rest. Those who
needed extra activity to get them
more tired at bedtime may find
themselves dropping off to sleep
effortlessly, much to their surprise.
However, the extra activity and
greater nervous tension of these
times very likely will make it all
the harder for some women to "un-
wind" or relax mentally So listen
to the suggestions of the expert,
Martha Alden, sleep consultant for
the mills which make some famous
bed sheets.

The layman ventures diffidently

We do not make bold to tell the

that somewhat more than hum

We amateurs are convinced that
the way to win this war is to in
wade Germany and Japan.
To the extent that the bombing
of Tokyo and other Japanese cities
is preliminary step in such an
offensive, it may be said to mark
turning point in World War II.
We, the la majority who urge
this bold course, have no illusions
that it will be easy. The cost in
blood, sweat and tears will be be-
yond anything this sad world ever
yet has suffered But it can be
done.
An offensive against either Ger
many or Japan presupposes the
availability of millions of we'll

These millions must be provided
with ample armament at least as
good as the Axis poSseSSeS-tankS,
planes guns, munitions.

carried safely across thousands of
miles of submarine infested ocean.

We are training the men. We are
producing material at an ever in

ships probably faster than ocean

On behalf of the armchair STRAIT
egists, We concede that we laymen
can not know exactly at what
moment there will be enough mems
properlf trained and adequately
equipped, with enough ship ton
mage to carry them to battle and
maintain them until victory is won.
That is for the best generals and
admirals to determine, just as they
must solve the equally difficult
puzzle of selecting the jumping-off
places for invasion of Germany and
Japan.
We don't envy the brass hats
either of those jobs. But We do
insist, respectfully, that they must
be done at the earliest possible
moment. And we hone the bombing
of Japan was the first step toward
taking the war to the enemy home

 Small stuff, you say, So is a Jap sniper in a tree top small stuff compared with company of U. S, Marines. But if the sniper can drop 0 couple of the Marines, the expenditure becomes worth while In the military sense. The Maxi propaganda technique wouldn't overlook sniping ct morale with this type of easily repeated dirt. The propagandists overlook practic- ally nothing. Also not overlooked is the horror story, A couple of hoary ones first heard in 1917 have been remodeled along 1942 lines and have been gaining circu- lation the last two or three weeks.
 Big-mouthed Joe Blow has 1t straight from a stevedore who helped load the transports and convoy ships for Australia that one big vessel carried nothing but caskets. A variant is the anonymous letter sent to a soldiers family relating this same story - as a friend. The training camp disease epidemic theme is most familiar of all - but it's around again. Hitler's propaganda credo is that most of the people will believe anything If it's fantastic enough and is fed to them often enough. The way to beat 1t is not to re- peat 1t.

More and More Workers

n Connecticut has to bring forward 0b.QO0 more workers for defense indus tries in the next few months practically sts entire available manpoWer will be utilized. Right now it's hard to find very many men who aren't at work, The Employment rolls are slowly but surely Reclining to the point where men and even women aren't available for certain types of work. The same is true wherever there is as much intense defense matlu- facturing,
 Contrast this condition with the one of several years back when unemploy. ment rolls were growing instead of dwindllng. It's good to see so much work and naturally everyone hopes that conditions will remain good even after the war. By then normal manufacturlng should spurt and the manpoWer now dedicated to an output of munitions ana other things needed for the war effort can be used to restore normalcy through out the nation. There will be many ways ato hold up employment and all should be used.
 So great a demand is being made for < workers today that living habits which have prevailed for years are being thrown 10 the winds. Family life, of course, IS more or less hectic where there are sev- eral workers in the household, all on different shifts. That's one thing that must be protected at any cost, as the community life is dependent on the fam zly life. We must continue to man the wheels of defense industry but we must also continue to have wholesome re- gard for the American way of life.
