Music SOOthes Patients

CHICAGO -UP)- DR.. Nit
chell S. Corbett, a physician, is
a firm believer in the soothing
effects of music. He and his as
sistants treat from 800 to 400
patients day, many of them
industrial cases. Long waits in
a doctors office, he claims, in
crease the nervous tension of the
patient, so he ordered music
piped to his office from a serv-
ice which supplies restaurants
and night spots. His patients, he
says, are no longer on the verge
of nervous collapse by the time
their turn for treatment comes.

officers clubs in the Army. In
this connection, officials say, ii
may be said that he won the
hearts of both officers and their
families alike.
KNOWS GENERALS
"He. never spared himself to
see that all received the best
service he could give" the Ar
my said of Hodges, land he
can boast of speaking ac-
quaintance with hundreds of
high-ranking officers, many of
whom are outstanding generals"
Hodge has almost been an
institution on the post since
1919. During his long service,
he was an uplifting influence
on many members of the post.
For more than 20 years he was
director of the religious educa-
ton for the post Sunday School,
a school of more than 200 child
rem of officers and enlisted men.
Meanwhile, he ably assisted the
post chaplain with his services
to the enlisted men and their
families for nearly 16 years.
From 1929 to 1889 he conduct
ed religious services for guard
house prisoners each Sunday af-
ternoon in the YMCA. When
citizens military training cours-
es were held at the post, Hodge
conducted Protestant services
for the CMTC trainees.
In addition, the sergeant was
a Bible class instructor and en-
gagged in much hospital and
charitable work.
Not all of Hodges activities
were confined to Fort Leaven-
worth, however. He held the
pastorate of two local churches,
the Round Prairie Community
Church for l6 years and the
Easton Methodist Church for
eight years. Within the past
year he took over an addition
al church, the Kickapoo, Kan,
Methodist.
SET RECORD
mo pastor could be loved or
respected more than he has been
by these congregations" Army
officials said.
Hodge was always active in
athletics, especially during his
first years at Fort LeavenWorth.
He established a record in 1920
in a six-mile distance race, rum
ming the course in 80 minutes.
This record was chalked up dur
ing a field day at the post, and
so far as is known, has never
been broken.
Hodge won the Kansas State
single-wall handball champion
ship in 1880 and successfully de-
Tended his title in 1881.
The versatile sergeant was al
SO post light heavyweight boxing
champion in 1921 and as box
ing instructor had classes of
nearly 200 men year.
"In his retirement, officials
say regretfully, "the Army will
lose a good soldier, but the
church will gain a servant and
a leader"
Hodge has two daughters,
Doris and Dorothy, both mar
ried to servicemen. He and his
wife, Marie, will make their
home in Leavenworth.

NEWSPAPERS MEET NEED
FOR SAVING ON PAPER

Notwithstanding the increased and de-
mandins news from the widening battle
fronts and other sources, all OF which take
space" in newspaper columns, the press
of the country shows an admirable record
of saving of newsprint through July and
for the first seven months of the year.
Indeed if the government agencies which
assume the power to allocate this and
that during the war emergencies could
show anywhere near as good job, the
paper shortage rapidly would heal itself.
Based on a report Of majority of
the large using papers of the nation,
total of 174,8 1856 tons rolled through press
es in July as compared to 212,26O tons
in July 1943. This was saving Of ll6
per cent. The seven month period ended
July 81 this year showed 1,343,391 tons
as against 1,791188 tons for the like per-
iod of 1943, a decrease of POI per cent.
In addition the reporting newspapers
had a 66-day supply on hand, or II days
more than at the ende Of June.

A LA new DEAL
(Indio Date PALM

Out at Camp Young there are about
400 Italian prisoners if one may
stretch his imagination enough to mark
them up as under surveillance and re-
straint-who are busy dismantling the
structures there.
That is a nice job for those fellows
who spend their evenings in lndlo or else
where hereabouts without any apparent
regulation. They must be good boys for
we guess they show up the next morning
for work, and sure enough ham and eggs
and coffee.
The Italians, who really are enjoying
life. have stacked up lot of lumber. But
not for Coachella valley people who
would gladly have bought every stick
of it at good price. No; it's going to
San Bernardino, where it will be sold,
we presume by junk dealer who Is re.
lated to the standard set of hackers of
Roosevelt. Anyway, Indio people can buy
the precious material if they drive 80
miles to San Bernardino and then haul
it back from where it came.
But that is only part of the story.
Not SO good lumber, but plenty good
for many people down here to make much
needed repairs, is being piled up and

IS NATION READY NOW
TO TAKE TO WINGS?

Attempting to tie its program to post
war planning, the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce through a special group
known as the Personal Aircraft Council,
is pushing a plan which to us seems as
yet dream. The Chamber takes the
view that practically everyone III the
country wants to fly and own plane.
In furtherance of this program the ma
tional aeronautical organization proposes
that each and every town and city and
community begin right now to make an in
tensive study of landing facilities tor
these millions of filters"
We do not have access to the informa-
tion the Chamber claims to have in say
ing that practically everyone eagerly a
waits the moment when they can own a
plane and have airport facilities. But we
do question such data. However, if true
it appears more logical to wait until
people are ready to buy planes and Use
them regularly. When that time comes
they will not only demand the facilities.
but get them. Nor can we quite agree
that this demand will follow Immediately
upon the end of the war.
It is more evident this personal flying
fever will come about more gradually;
that as modern and safe flying fields are
constructed, individual flying will follow,
Just as automobiles followed in step with
the building of concrete roads. 1t may
be that the lack of good roads tempered
the demand for automobiles, but in the
end the pattern has worked out and will
continue to work out that way. We shall
see use of autos grow as we build wide
belt transcontinental highways as we
must and shall as part of the postwar
planning.
The aeronautical chamber in furthering
its plans points to the need for proper
training and licensing of the thousands
of men and women who will be wjngng
their way about on every day affairs.
And in this connection it is pointed out
that the government agency Is cooperat-
ing. which as matter of fact, it must
do if the program is ever launched.
While in no mind to detract from this
vision, it seems of much more importance
right now to continue and press the grow
ing demand for pickup mail and parcel
service for thousands of communities.
There is much yet to be done and much
the public yet must do to bring CONNER
cial aviation to the door of all citizens.
Here in Imperial county the need is press
ing to get into action to acquire and set-up
landing fields for these pickup planes.
We believe both these propositions call
for decision and action by the various
communities after careful study of the
entire situation.
