Beware of Rainbow Chasers

Cities and towns throughout the nation are striving to attract new industries Of @ permanent nature to fill the gap when the inevitable day of curtailed war pro- duction arrives in deadly earnest. The objective of the average community seems to be to hold fast to wartime peaks. Many are going to be disappointed, If they pin their hopes to strongly on the dreams of rainbow chaSerS to the exclu- sion of cold facts.
 Now is the time for all communities to look with new appreciation upon the old-establlshed industries that helped them prosper in peacetime, After the illusions of the rainbow chasers evapor- ate, these industries will still be with us, paying taxes and working to build pay rolls and enlarge markets,
 The railroads are an example of such an industry. A few decades ago a suc- cessful effort to secure railroad through town was the ultimate victory for any community. Today most communities have railroad service Railroads are among the nations heaviest employers, Their tax payments, local and national, are among the largest. They are mag net for other industries. Wherever they reach, commerce expands. Their per sonal needs are great. They require a wide variety of items including ice, laun- dry, food, fuel, and heavy equipment, the production of which helps maintain countless local industries. The railroad is almost literally community's life insur- ance.
 And the best part is that the railroads are no dream. They are as real as the laundering locomotives that have worked overtime for many long months hauling the hell of war to the Axis. When again the battleAelds are quiet, they will be- come the lifeblood of peace. No com munity, no nation can afford to neglect It's railroads in planning for the future.

False Prophets

Political peSSinists who harp on the eheory that the United States has reached "economic maturity" whatever that is, and advocate dividing up" philosophy, shotld be kicked out unless we are ready to admit that country con grow up and Fetreat into Senility in s5 years. For this country isn't much older than that, in- |huStrially speaking.
 It was about s5 years ago that the petroleum industry was born. In 1859, a geventy-foot well in Pennsylvania pro- duced oil. In that day petroleum was used principally in lamps and as a patent |medicine. No figures are available show ling the total number of refinerieS in the eariy sixties. Many of the first plants consisted simply of an iron drum and a lcondenSer to secure distillate which Twas quickly named kerosene by the pe- troleum refinerS. Many fires and ex- Iplosions occurred. One operator left too much gasoline, for which there. was no known use ct the time, in his kerosene when sold locally. His plant was shut down as result

Often they tower 26 stories into the sky. In addition to manufacturing vast quantities of base stock for aviation gasoline, Q "cat cracker" will produce enough fuel oil to heat 10000 homes, and the electric energy necessary to run one of the huge plants would light a path of 10000 homes across the cont. nent. The water alone used in the cool: ing towers of one Of the giant "cats' would supply the water requirements for both Kansas City and Omaha. Hun. dreds of plants like this are pouring out thouSands of barrels of super fighting fuel daily. After the war they will turn out high grade fuel for millions of Amer lca's cars If we have done this in the past e6 years, what wonders will we cre- ate in the next s6 years-if the pessl- migts don't stop Us?

Will Washington Fall?

1 In November, the people Of the state of Washington will vote on Referendum No. 26, the most far.reaching plan in favor of socialization Of industry yet proposed in any state.
 The preesnt law provides that two or more contiguous PUDs Peoples Utility Districts) may consolidate, but only by vote of the residents of the PUDs Refer endun 26 would nullify the right Of the people to vote on cancellations, and leave the decision wholly to two of the three PUD commissioners. By the mere pas sage Of q resolution by the commission CTS of the PUDS involved, Q Joint Conl- mission" of many PUDs could be formed. No method Is provided whereby Q single PUD could withdraw and regain it's ifl- dependence. Commissions are not re- Qtlred to have any knowledge Of or traifi- ing in the electric business.
 Promoters of this measure do not argue the merits of the bill - they simply say, If you favor public power, you favor Referendum No. 2B." In other words, If you favor consolidation of PUDs, you favor giving up your right to vote on the Issue.
 When you have municipal electric plants, you have little socialism. When you have PUDS, you have Q little more gociaiigm. And when the eFderal govern ment builds giant power dams over the nation, you have state socialism. Refer endufn No. 26 is but a logical step in the Federal power program. The politicians who control power monopoly can con- 4rol many induStries by the process Of
 granting or denying power contracts as Eliey sec it. Washington will now vote Cor CT against . changed type Of govern nnent whereunder states rights and indi- vidual rights would be ceded to central 1ze6 bureaucratic authority.

 The clearest indication thas Willkie planned to come out for Roosevelt was given to Bartley Crum, San Francisco Republican leader, who has now come out for FDR himself.
 "You remember when you were counting your wife" said
 Willkie, "and you felt pretty certain she was going Co say yes in the end, but she kept Stalllng you? We'll, ! guess I'm
 the same way. I'm going tO say yes in the end"
 ARNOLD DODGES VETERANS
 Veterans of Foreign Wars offi- cials have been doing Q lot of quiet patriotic work to help the Army Air Forces. The other day they wanted to talk to General "Hap" Arnold about Air Force veterans.
 However, Arnold perslstently ducked them, Finally, House Majority Leader John Mccormack

called Arnold's office and made an appointment. Arnold invited the VF'W delegation, headed by Past National Commander Max Singer of Massachusetts and leg iSlative Representative omar Ketchum, to meet with him at noon,
 Singer and Ketchum arrived promptly, cooled their heels for an hour. Finally. out came Q colonel, who bowed from the waist, asked if the group minded waiting, They sat for another half hour. Then, out hopped Q nimble young lieutenant colonel, who apologi2ed, said the General had been called away for an im- portant conference asked If he could listen to their story.
 The delegation thanked the junior brasshat, and departed.
 N0TE-The VFW made the Air Forces an outright gift of $780, 900 in cash to help finance the war, also recruited 60,000 cadets for the mir training program, When the VFW invited Arnold to speak at their national conven. ton, he said important eonfer- enees prevented his attending, later took the time to go on . long fishing vacation in Cali- fornia

 terest, aS thls ls a subject which Hes close to my heart, too. One of our doctors told me that there were . number on his wards WHO COULD JUST AS WE'LL BE AT HOME, AND WHO WOULD GIVE LITTLE TROUBLE THERE. AS he put it, Granny could sit by the Arc and dip her snuff. get up and go Co meals, humble Co herself and dose at Intervals, without giving anyone much more work. but the trouble Is, no one cares that much I have written . good many letters Co patients relatives advising that they could take the patient home and that . change might be beneficial, but lt is only in rare instances that they come for the patient. Unusually they ignore the doctors letter or make numerous excuses. That ls what burns me up-the class of nursing attendants we have Co take is mostly girls who can't get any thing else to dO-they are coarse. grained and unlInagInatlve, and while ! do not believe there are many cases Of actual cruelty ln the form of striking patients, they do push them around Q lot and use . form of mental cruelty that is particularly bad ln Q place like this.

Writer Shows Why Entire Public Psychiatric Hospital
 System Should Be Overhauled
Everett, Mass,
 Oct, II, io44

Everett, Mass.
 Oct, II, le4& Editor Of The Democrat:
 Even the wise amongst adminis- trative pSyohiatrists must realize, even if they do not admit the patent fact, that beyond their line of psyehlatric vision, there today lies on expanse of psyehiarty or perhaps we should say humanitar- ian psychiatry which remains un- explored, except supertlcially, and uncharted except by hopeful ideal- iSts. Here and there will be found public mental hospitals that are more interested in GETTING THEM OUT rather than in getting them in but these institutions are few in number. For some reason not very clear to everybody the average mental hospital does not hesitate to crowd patients In and If wards be- come filled there are still the corTi- dorS where mattresses may be thrown on the floors, There are plenty of competent experts in the mental hygiene field who take the stand that there are too many commit. ments to psychiatric hospitals, that many of those hustled off to e hos pital should not be hospltalized but can be treated in Q community clinic with less expense to the state and certainly with less efns barrassment to both patient and relatives.
 Among the countFy's avowed cri- ties Of the present policy of oVer- crowding the state hospitals Is Edith C.. c. Graf, M. D. of Green. up, Illinois, who Is not Sparing of time and money to point out the needlessness of oil these commltt- ments. Her eloquent pen is doing most laudable service in trying to correct the present abominahle sys: tenn. Then there Is pr. Edward Spencer Cowles, of Park Avenue, New York Clty, who also sees no necessity for such c large mental hospital population. Under date of August ie, ie44, pr. Cowles wrote the following to pr. Graf:
 ~ have always had . very large practice ln psychlatFy, and I do not find lt necessary Co commit 6 patient to an asylum once In ten yeaFB. There are very few pas tlents who need to be committed. If we committed only the pas tlents who needed to 60 Co an in. gtitutl0n, there would Do plenty of doctors and nurses to give them real care and treatment. BUT THE ASYLUMB ACCEPT ANYBODY, THE SANE AND THE INSANE, THE STRONG AND THE FEEBLE. THEY THROW THEM ALL IN TO- CIPHER, AND IT IS A SLOW AND MISERABLE DEATH"
 These are strong words but pr. Cowles knows what he b talking about.

A few short months ago-the summer months-folks were doing the usual things, among them going to the circus. Then came the major circus tragedy of all times, the Ringing Brothers Circus fire in Hartford. Some have forgotten the event; others by virtue of close prox- unity and personal loss will remember It for days to come. We read this week that the big show company IS heading for winter quarters in Sarasota, and car- rying the biggest mortgage in all circus history.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The 1944 crop, 1t Is expected, will set a record, and there Is no longer fear of a food crisis in this country. Farms have succeeded in turning out and harvesting sufficient food, despite untoward weather conditions and various calamities that threaten what Is put into the ground and what grows on bushes and trees. The war has neceSsitated certain restric- tions but through 1t all we have eaten sufficiently and well, which is more than we can say of many countries in the war areas. In the best of homes in most countries people have been undernour-. ished for years, and then there are, added to those, the poor.
