The spoken word is given scant attention;
the printed word is thoughtfully weighed.
The spoken word barely asserts; the printed
word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word
is lost; the printed word remains.


"The indications are that the needs of the
army, the navy, public health and civilian
populations can be met by scientific planning
and complete co-operation without any de-
terioration in the quality of medical educa-
tion and medical service," says the Journal
of the American Medical association.
War is making heavy demands on Ameri-
can medicine. Thousands of doctors are be-
ing called to duty with the military forces.
Other thousands are giving a part of their
time to selective service boards and other
agencies. But despite this, we feel sure that
American medicine will meet the crisis with
complete success.
Nowhere else in the world are doctors
given such rigorous training. Nowhere else in
the world are there so many doctors. No-
where else in the world has such astonishing
progress been made against the bacterial
killers. The average American is healthier
than the average citizen of any other" coun-
try. He lives a longer, happier life. And you
can give American medicine credit for that.
Those who guard this nation's health are
doing a magnificent job-and they are ready
for all eventualities.

The Japanazis call the raids on several of
their principal cities by American bombers
"barbarous and unworthy of a civilized na-
tion." Wonder what they call' their own air
raids on Pearl Harbor, Manila and cities in
Java and Australia? They surely weren't pink
tea parties.


Our Country Right or Wrong

'ALMOST READY FOR BUSINESS
After a considerable time our civilian de-
fense organization is at last taking on a
semblance of purpose and determination as
the training course nears its close with a ma-
jority of those signing up still in the run-
nirig. It is true a goodly portion of the school-
ing has been somewhat dry and uninterest-
irlg, but the volunteers have checked in night
after night and when they complete their
training they will have the satisfaction of
'knowing that when the organization begins
to function it will do so with a complete har-
mony of purpose-that of protecting our
homes, our loved ones and our businesses
in case of an emergency.
SWhen the schooling is over and the defense
organization begins to function as it should
we do not want to let it's efficiency lapse
through thinking that "it can't happen here,"
for it CAN happen here, just as well as any
other coastal city in the nation. Undoubtedly

T.':V A-orris w-ill- see. that our defense unit
is kept at t6p-peak efficiency by calling for
practice drills by all squads at unexpected
moments, just as would be the case in an
emergency, and we feel sure that every mem-
ber of every unit will be at his or pointed place when the call is issued.
The ,airplane warning unit is now func-
tioning smoothly and it behooves every vol-
unteer who signed up as an observer to re-

A great deal has been said
about eating certain vegeta-
bles topbtain vitamins, yet if
these foods are not handled
correctly by the homemaker,
the vitamin content is lost.
Nobody seems to know exactly what vitEmins are,
they furnish no energy; they build no tissue, yet they
seem to be necessary in making the different organs of
the body take advantage of the foods that we2 eat.
Mrs. Homemaker's job on the home front becomes
a battle for the conservation of vital vitamins. This
battle can be won by the proper preparation and preser-
vat~rn of the foods bought for well planned meals.

ment, which permitted cameramen

the authentic support of roaring

gether with thousands of regular
army men who went under cam-
era fire for the picture.

jorie Main, Lewis Stone', William
Lundigan nd Donna Reed-.
