CHRISTMAS
Corrected from last week
BY t. A. HALL. Milford, Delaware


my Christmas contribution to
all who love my pOems.)
Away up North where the cold
winds blow,
Hills covered over with drifted
snow
Old Kris Kingle raises his horn
To blow once more on Christmas
morn.
To call his deer to hook to his
sleigh.
For he has other dears DER the
hills far away;
Some in the West, some in the
East,
He remembers them all from big
gest to least.
He gets in his sleigh with his
prancing four,
To go out calling as always before.
He has done it so often and, done it
so long,
Our dear little children love to
sing the glad song.
And we all love to sing of these
glad Christmas times,
AS our Lords church bells ring
out their chimes,
Telling again to mortals of earth
The old, old story of our Saviour's
birth.
For unto us all son was given,
Who came all the way to Earth
from Heaven,
To bring to us all glad tidings of
great joy,
For the babe born in Bethlehem
that day was a boy:
He grew to be a youth-then to
man,
And lived life that no one else
can,
Unless by his spirit we too have
been born
We too, then can blow Gods Cos

COMMUNITY MEDICAL
PROBLEM ANSWERED

The medical problem of many
cities which have grown rapidly
due to war industries, is pretty
much like the problem of the
growing boy who spent his sum-
mer doing farm work-when he
tried to put on his old school suit
in the fall, he found he couldn't get
into it.
With the astounding Kaiser ship
yards alone adding tens of thOus-
ands to Portland's population, not
to mention other war industries.
the city found itself facing a growth
from something over 100000 to be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 persons.
Here was a perfect set-up for
waste and experimenting in medi-
cal facilities. Following a confer
ence with Edgar F. Kaiser. the
Oregon War Emergency Health
Committee. organized under the
leadership of the Oregon State
Medical Society, set a record in
working out a plan to meet this
situation. 1t Immediately secured
the cooperation of doctors. nurses.
public health services and hospi-
tails.
Instead of building expensive
new facilities. it found that the
1850 beds of its principal hospitals
could be expanded by 307 beds.
with little construction cost With
shortage of nurses, doctors and
all manner of new equipment due
to war demands, the utilization of
existing buildings. heating plants.
personnel and equipment. would
thus require a minimum of addi-
tional outlay. If the 307 beds are
not enough for the prOportionate
increase in population. plans are
ready for adding a total of 500
beds.
Thus has the Oregon War Elmer
gency Health Committee, in coop
GRAFTON with industry. and through
intelligent utilization and eXpan-
sion of existing resources. met the
health needs of an abnormal war
industry population. Portland has
set an example for medical care
that could well be followed by
other communities.

A HOPEFUL SIGN

The recent election contained ev-
idence that the public is getting
weary of destructive political at
tacks on industry Particularly was
this true with respect to the cleo
tr1c industry. Voters turhed thumbs
down on practically every candi-
date who sponsored socialized cleo
trio power.
1t is only logical that advocates
of laws that would undermine AM
erican enterprise should go down
to defeat. Voters who have enough
faith in the institutions which sup
port our economic and political lib
critics. to send the cream of our
youth to all corners of the world
to fight and die in protecting them
against military aggression, GER
tainly should not sanction their de-
structicn by socialistic philoso-
pliers seeking public Office at home.
The electric industry is an out
standing case wherein the intent
of a minority group to change the
form of government in this coun-
try has long been clearly defined.
In the beginning, the abuses of
few electric companies furnished
ammunition for an attempt to dis
credit the entire private electric
industry in the eyes of the public.
Next came such projects as TWA,
ostensibly to further navigation,
flood control. and kindred worth
while Objectives-and incidentally
to furnish a power yardstick"
which was nothing more than
tax-subsidized club to drive the
private companies out of business.
Finally, after great government
hydroelectric plants dotted the riv-
ers and valleys of the entire nation.
came the admission from the So
cialists that their real intent all
along was the total specialization
of electric power The admission
undoubtedly did not come until
they felt the plan was too far ad-
vanced to be stopped. 1t remains
to be seen whether they miscal-
culated The elections indicated
that the people are awakening TO
the dangers of the alien doctrine
of state socialism.

Oil Industry Cooperating

Many states are subject to fuel
oil rationing this winter. Main rea-
son for rationing is that disrup-
ton of normal transport methods
by submarine sinkings of oil tank
ers has imposed an astronomical
load on the land transport system.
One Midwestern oil company has
released some information that
gives "A little idea of the lengths
to which the oil industry has gone
to alleviate the fuel problem of
millions of civilians. This company,
in compliance with directions from
the On .ce of Defense TranspOrta-
ton, has discontinued rail oil ship
ments in areas within 100 miles
of refineries, river, lake and pipe
line terminals. Truck transport is
used for. short hauls from these
points. The change necessitated an
expenditure of half million dol
lars by the company for the alter
alton of loading facilities at supply
points and unloading equipment at
local bulk plants. But as a result,
5 $50 tank cars were released for
long hauls to Eastern points. Like
wise, more cars were released by
pipeline construction and improve
ment. In addition, this company, in
common with others. has switched
its refineries to making far more
and heavy fuels and less
gasoline, less asphalt, and no road
oil.
Consumers can thank the re-
of the oil industry
and the railroads who are doing an
unequaled hauling job for fair as
surance that prudent users of fuel
oil will get along reasonably well
in the cold days to come.
