will institute an infationary threat which may be
dangerous.
In view of all circumstances involved, it might be
wise to reduce to some extent, the large savings
account of the nation and apply the difference on
immediate payment of current wartime operating
costs. The figures show that this can be done;
common sense dictates that it should be done.

West Virginia. He drives his jeep
himself and goes right into the
lines with his aidmen.
We drove forward about a mile
! in cur two jeeps, so loaded with
litter bearers they were even riding
on the hood. Finally we had to stop
and wait until a bulldozer filled a
new shell crater in the middle of
the road. We had gone only about
hundred yards beyond the crater
when we ran into some infantry
They stopped us and said:
BE careful where you're going
The Germans are only 200 yards
up the road"
Captain Strawn said he couldn't
get to the wounded men that way,
so he turned around to try another
way. A side road led off at an angle
from shattered village we had just
passed through. He decided to try
to get up that road.
HOUSE BLOCKS ROAD
But when we got there the road
had house blown across it, and it
was blocked We went forward
little on foot and found two deep
bomb craters, also impossible.
So Captain Strawn walked back
to the bulldozer and asked the
driver if he would 60 ahead of us
and clear the road. The first thing
the driver said was, How close to
the front is it?"
The doctor said, Well at least
1t isn't any closer than you are
right now" So the dozer driver
agreed to clear the road ahead of
us.
While we were waiting soldier
came over and showed us two eggs
he had just found in the backyard
cf a jumbled house. There wasn't
an untouched house left standing in
the town, and some of the houses
were still smoking inside.
Also, while we were waiting, two
shock cases came staggering down
the road toward us. They were not
wounded but were completely
broken-the kind that stab into
your heart.
They were shaking all over, and
had to hold onto each other like
little girls when they walked. The
doctor stopped them. They could
barely talk, barely understand. He
told them to wait down at the next
corner until we came back, and
then they could ride.
MORE THAN COULD STAND
When they turned away from the
jeep, they turned slowly and un-
steadily, step at time, like men
who we're aWfully drunk. Their
mouths hung open and their eyes
stared, and they still held onto
each other. They were just like
idiots. They had found more war
than the human spirit can endure.
At the far edge of the town we
came to partly wrecked farmhouse
that had two Germans in it-one
was wounded and the other was
| just staying with him. We ran our
jeeps into the yard and the litter
bearers went on across the field to
where the aid men had been told
some of our wounded we're lying
behind a hedge.
The doctor sent the able German
soldier along with our litter bearers
to help carry. He was very willing
to help. I stayed at the house with
the doctor while he looked at the
wounded German, lying in the
midst of the scattered debris of

Health Officer
Urges Meat Diet

DR.. Miriam Hubbell, Imperial
county health officer, Wednesday
urged housewives of the county to
make every effort to include nutri-
tious meats on their summer menus
in spite of the worry they have with
ration points.
THE meat situation is an impor-
tant one" she declared, "and the
matter of having points enough 70
obtain good nutritious meats taxes
the ingenuity of the home-maker.
Pork is valuable fer its nutri-
tional and vitamin content. How
ever, the danger of trichinosis must
not be overlooked.
"Trichinosis is caused by para
is transmitted to man if he eats
uncooked or under-cooked pork. All
that is necessary to avoid trichi-
nosiS is to thoroughly cook the
pork. Rosenau, in his Preventive
Medicine and Hygiene said pork
when properly cooked may be eaten
without danger of infection. Fresh
pork should be cooked until it be-
comes white and is no longer red in
color in all portions of the piece,
at the center as we'll as near the
surface. Dry salt pork, picked pork
and smoked pork previously salted
or picked, provided the curing is
thorough, are practically safe so far
as trichinosis is concerned, but as
the thoroughness of the curing is
not always certain, such meat
should also be cooked before it is
eaten'"

Walter Wanger, the producer who
became the braVeSt man in Holly
wood by launching a search for the
Most Beautiful Girl in the World,
peered out from behind a stack of
photographs and allowed that it
was the doggonedest thing that
ever happened to him.
He was sitting in his private pro-
lection room at the studio the other
day when the head of John the
Baptist flashed on the screen and
addressed him as "Mr. Wanger."
s'Mr. Wanger," said the head,
heres the girl you're looking
for
1.-The rules laid down by Producer
Wanger in his serch specified that
the ladies should send in nice 8x10
glossy photographs.
The results were fantastic. Every
female in the United States, it
seems, is candidate for the title
and its reWard-film Stardom in

what had been a kitchen floor.
The German didn't seem to be
badly wounded, but he was sure full
of misery. He looked middle-aged,
and he was pale, partly bald, had a
big nose and his face was yellow.
He kept moaning and twisting. The
doctor said he thought morphine
was making him sick.
The doctor took his scissors and
began cutting his clothes open to
see if he was wounded anywhere
except in the arm. He wasn't. But
he had been sick at his stomach
and then rolled over.
BRIG MEN BACK
Pretty soon the litter bearers
came back They had two wounded
Germans and one American on
their litters. Also they had two
walking cases-one hearty fellow
with a slight leg wound, and one
youngster whose hands were trem-
bling from nervous tension.
The doctor asked him what was
the matter and he said nothing
was, except that he couldn't stop
shaking. He said he felt that his
nerves we're all right, but he just
couldn't keep his hands from trem-
bling.
He was a machine gunner on a
half track. CAPTAIN StraWn talked
kindly to him.
"Who sent you pack?" he asked.
"Weve got a new lieutenant" the
boy said, land he told me to come
back nd report to an aid station
for rest"
The doctor thought a while. 81
cant send you to a hospita' the
doctor said. You're not in very bad
shape, and they need men too badly
up there"
Just a shade of disappointment
passed OVER the boys t6cc, but he
was game.
That's what I told the lieuten-
ant" he said. Il think I'm all
right to go back"
I could tell the doctor liked his
attitude. There was nothing yellow
about the kid
The doctor said:
I'll tell YOU You get on this jeep
and go back to the aid station. We
will give you some sleeping stuff,
and you can just lie around there
on the ground for day or two and
you'll be all right"
And with that compromise the
kid-relieved at even a two-day
respite-got into the jeep with the
wounded men and went back down
| the road.

emphasis placed by Senator H. s.

electing President Roosevelt was "a
clear bid for . dictatorship, the in
dispensable man."

In its desire for power and per-

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Herbert

Committee chairman, says canvass

we have enough electoral votes to
elect the Dewey-Bricker ticket with
a few to spare"
At press conference yesterday

ing of the Executive Committee OF

encouraging" reports from New
York and Missouri, home States re-
spectively of President Roosevelt
and Senator Truman, Democratic
nominees.
One of the factors by which the
Republicans expect to carry New
York. Mr.. Browneu said, was dis
sension caused by the Campaign
waged by the Hillman- Browder
group to gain control of the Demo-
cratic party" This, he added, has
"slienated many thousands of DEM
ocratic voters"
