This is the day to start scrapping the
scrap. II you happen to have any useless
scrap on your property, don't keep 1t any
longer for museum pieces. Once again
the community and nation embarks on
gigantic scrap cruise. Last year you
probably secured your home and dug up
and discarded all that you felt you could
discard.
But this is a year later. And those
choice oddmentS that you saved may not
look so enticing to you at this time. SO
II you have any odd measurements OF
lead pipe, cooking utensils, and metal
articles that have seen better days donate
them to the current scrap salvage. Good
use will be made Of what you donate, you
may rest assured.
It is stated that Waterbury, the city
of metals, will have quota Of $50 tons
to pick up here and there. We have from
October Is to October % to swell the
scrap heap. To put the drive across, to
take care of coll sctions, and to man.

1000 volunteer workers are needed to as

has been outlined, the city is divided into
four zones. Residents in these particu-

A Thought for Today
Russia's Alternative

In an attempt to clarity what many
consider the puzzle of RuSSia'S attitude
toward postwar collaboration with the
other United Nations, James B. ReSton,
head Of the New York Times London
Bureau, has produced a thought-provok-
ing piece based upon "the conclusions
OF the most responsible sources open to
this correspondent" in the Bristol capt.
tai. Specifically the analysis is reas-
surfing, but throughout run disturbing
undertoneS. Putting these together, 1t
appears that the highest British diplo-
matte thought foreseeS trouble with Rus
STA - unless Russia, says ReSton, is
believed to feel that her long-range secur-
ity demands that she take over the Baltic
states; part Of Poland, including Wilma and
Lwow sufficient Finnish territory to pro-
tect the Gulf Of Finland apd Leningrad;
Bessarabia and parts of Bukovina now in
Rumania; and access to the Mediterran-
can and through the Persian Gulf. If we
and Britain are willing to let Russia keep
these territories, there Is nothing that
Premier Stain would like better than to
cooperate with us in postwar world
authority to guarantee peace.
If we won't make these initial conceS-
SionS, then Stain Is preparing his alter
munizing Of Germany and, presumably,
and evangelistic conimunistic program
generally throughout the international
field. Mr.. ReSton did good job Of obJec-
tive reporting. So he did not note what
Immediately comes to mind - that the
Atlantic Charter, and the democratic
doctrine Of both Britain and the United
States, would be violated to the point OF
destruction if we were to concede Russias
right to take such small nations, ana
parts Of others, as she decided she would
like. r When Neville Chamberlain (re-
member him-the man with the UNI
brella?) gave in thus to Hitler, we called
It appeaSement, and Kissed.
SO what are we going to do If Russia
insists upon such appeasement, as an
alternative to going her own way after the
war and attempting to communize
Europe? We know now the damage done
by the failures Of the "peacemakerS" at
Versailles. Their prototypes, when this
war is ended, will have at least as diff
cult problems to face.

break the worry habit? First, by
assuring ourselves that most of our
anxieties are unreal. The things we
worry about almost never happen
to us. We have to meet a host Of
serious problems in the journey
through life. but they are generally
not the things we have anticipated
with so much agonizing concern.
Again We have to learn TO sub
stitute other thoughts for the ones
which have burdened our minds.
Two things cannot be In the same
place at the same time. II with great
determination we push into the
mind thoughts about other things.

PARENTS NEAR OR FAR
tNew York Herald-Tribune)


Not only for himself, as one Of
Americas most loved and trusted
public servants, but as symbol Of
so many families throughout the
country, there will be sympathy
deeply felt for Ambassador Winant
and Mrs. Winant in their news from
the skies Of Germany. Their son,
Lieutenant John @. Winant, Jr.,
pilot Of q Fortress, may have es-
capped by parachute when his plane
was shot down by German fighters;
every one will hope and pray that
he may be safe. But the chances
cannot be blinked. No one knows
better than Mr.. Winant, himself a
flyer in the American Expeditionary
Force in the last war, the split Sec
onds of desperate maneuver upon
which the fate of so gallant an air.
man depends.
How many parents here at home
will compare their lot with that Of
the Winants. It is not easy to say
offhand which has the advantage.
Yet we suspect that any father and
mother would rather be close by the
scene Of activity. on the very fringe
Of action, indeed, than far away. It
is not easy to say good bye to boy
as he takes of for distant and
unknown field-whence come at in
tervals a driblet of letters necessar-
lily telling but little of actual events.
Mr.. and Mrs. Winant, living in Lon
don, could sometimes hear Fort
resses overhead on their way to bat
tle-or returning. Their son could
be in touch with them frequently.
So It has been with the English
flyers, operating out Of the home
land, from the start.
Which condition Is better? We

In tile second drive, big hunk
amounting to more than a third
Of the quota was set aside for
commercial banks. The sum was
five billion dollars, out Of the
quota figure Of 13 million. B ut
the public came so close to hit
ting the 10 billion, without the
bank borrowing, that Treasury Of
ficials were encouraged to depend
on the public alone this time. Also
they increased the quota.
Thus in the recent dive, the
quota Of IS billion, not only was
two billion higher than the last
quota Of 10 billion, but was seven
billion higher than the amount
subscribed by the public last time.
The Importance Of this is ex-
pressed in Mariner Eccles' phrase,
dangerous dollars. This Is what
he calls borrowing from COM
mercial banks. These dangerous
dollars" come not from wages or
savings, but merely from the
imaginary funds made by a book
keeping operation. In other words,
this Is inflationary, and does not
skim off the surplus money In
John Q. Public's pocket.
NOTE: Government workers
have subscribed so rnaSy bonds in
various drives that the machinery
for delivering the bonds to them
has been bad bottleneck. Worst
offender Is the War Department,
whose Service Forces depot at
New Cumberland, Penna., has
failed to deliver bonds purchased
as far back as January, 1912. Some
workers suspect the money has
been Incorporated, but the
real trouble Is merely that War
Department hadn't the staff to
issue all thine bonds subscribed.
The workers will get their bonds
all right In the end.

TREATMENT OF gPRAEl

Invariably patients with nnodeF.

spective of the type Of treatment
given, who were Immediately sent

who were put ct rest for q few days
with limited or no use Of the part.
SO reports Lieut.. Comdr. Paul ID
McMaster from the orthopedic de-
partn1ent OF the D. 8. Marine Corps
Base Dispensary at San Diego.
Over 200 patients were strapped
with adhesive tape, some Of them
sent immediately back to duty, some
instructed to limit weight bearing
and protect the ankle by either
complete rest in bed or by use Of
clutches or cane.
More than 200 patients received
local injections Of procaire hydro
chloride and with but o few excep.
tions were sent to duty Immediately.

clude the possibility Of o fracture.
by X-ray examination.
From 10 to 20 &C. (one-ha1f fluid
ounce, more or less) Of 2d pro-
caine hydorchloride solution Is ifl-
jected into or around the ligaments
which are sprained-as indicated by
tenderness to finger pressure ct the
point sprained. First q drop or two
is injected into the skin, to raise
q wheal, then with q larger needle
the underlying ligament Is injected.
There may be several such tender
points, and all must be injected, and
no tender point or painful area
should remain even with motion OF
the foot. Then an elastic bandage
Is wrapped snugly around the am
kle, and the patient Is requested TO
walk about the room. II any pain
remains, further injection Is done.
That completes the treatment.
The patient Is instructed TO use and
move the foot and ankle normally,
except for running or jumping. The
foot should be moved often ana not
kept inmobile or in one position
even for short periods. The elastic
bandage Is to be removed and re-
applied by the patient after an hour
or two to prevent possible construc-
ton Of circulation.
Pain rarely recurs after this In
lection treatment. Motion Of ankle
the day after treatment is often
normal or nearly so.
From everyday experience many
have learned that mild ankle
sprains are best treated by apply
ing fairly stout support, even q
snugly laced high shoe, and keep
ing about on the ankle.
In more severe sprains, with Inn
mediate swelling and intense pain.
