T. Y.-Should a person with a
deficiency OF hydrochloric acid
in the stomach refrain from
drinking large amounts of milk?
Does smoking cause this acid
10 flow more freely and would
il be good for one with such a
deficiency
Dogs this condition cause pain
in the stomach? Does IL lead
to cancer?,
Answer-There is no reason
why people with deficiency in
hydrochloric acid should not
drink milk.
The deficiency is usually
caused by atrophy of certain
cells in the stomach.
These cells, when atrophied,
cannot secrete hydrochloric acid
and therefore smoking does not
stimulate them 10 form 1t, but
S II is very easy TO supply artif-
cial hydrochloric acid that can
be taken by mouth.
These patients usually have
no pain.
The condition does not lead TO
cancer, although in cancer OF
the stomach there is usually a
deficiency in hYdroChlorlc acid.

 It was in July 1941, that the first troops arrived at Bradley Field and since that time the Air Base has forged ahead in leaps and bounds taking it's place as an inn portant cog in the machinery of this country's great air force.
 Bradley Fields first Command ing Officer was Colonel Clyde J. Finter. In Sept. 1912 he turned his command over to Col. George Lowell, Jr., who in turn was suc- ceeded by our present Command ing Officer, Colonel Ivor Massey.

WHOSE IDEOLOGY
civilian Allen White)

Having been one Of the four and one
half million frustrated-you might say
more or less Observation-Disclosures who 25
years ago marched away to make the
world safe for Democracy we have been
quick to join the chorus Of It-Can't-Hap-
pen-Agaln. In l9l7-1S we really thought
there was something to that slogan. Sub
sequent events blitzed it to bits.
So now our country is on its way to
another armed rendezvous, 10 to y mil
lion strong, and under what slogan? The
four freedoms forever? Down with NaZ-
ism and Fascism? Call it what you will,
but II has strong resemblance to the
25-year-old make it safe banner.
Three months ago we heard that Eu-
rope, Germany and the doWn-trodden
countries alike, were just waiting for
the moment when we marched in, to "go
American in big way But events of
the past few months seem to have chan
ged the picture. American doughboys
are going to have to hurry to carry the
ideology Of the democracies from the
shores OF Iripoli, across the Mediterran-
can to the Balkans, perhaps TO the slum-
Derlng Rue de Cannebiere in MarSeilles
when came the spirit of revolution that
once shook the world. And we must
hurry, Once again American boys will
be fighting to make the world safe for
democracy. Unless we can hand Hitler
and Mussolini the knockout blow, our
ideology is going to clash with the ideol-
Ogy of the Soviets.
People, especially -trodden peo-
piles, are quick to follow winner. With
the Russians surging down the frozen
steppes and annihilating Axis armies,
both British and Americans in and out
of the armed forces are sensing the need
for action. Today the Red army is build
ing for Russia inestimable prestige Rus
STA today is chinning herself by brute
strength into the dominant power in Eu-
rope. Even if Stain seeks no territory,
his ideology Of Communism will be ac-
cepted by many peoples. The Balkans,
maybe Germany, perhaps other nations,
might willingly embrace the Soviet be-
liefs at wars end.
And SO again, the armies of the democ-
racies are fighting-fighting to make
the world safe for our way Of life It's
huge and bloody affair-and it's also a
race.
