STAY WELL
A recent headline in Newsweek |
said, “Services’ call for doctors |
means U. S. must stay well.” And
the statistics back that up therough- |
Iy.
This country has 176,600 physi-
‘cians—of ‘which 22,000 have
taken. & ‘the Army. HK the goal of
000-man Army is attained,
58,000 doctors—one- third
And the situation is about the same
in the case of nurses. We have
306,000 trained nurses—and 50,000
will be required for the Army and
the Navy by the middle of next
year.
No c¢ne can complain about this
—America’s fighting men will and
must have the best medical attention
possible. What it means is that all
remaining doctors must work far
harder and longer than ever before.
The medical scheols are stepping
up the tempo of medical training
zs far as practical. And, in additien,
civilians must help. Here is how
Newsweek puts it: “The civilian
will also have to pull his oar in the
boat. Instead of expeciing punctual
appointments and home visits, he
will have t» wait his turn in the
doctor’s waiting room. Preventa-
tive medicine will loom larger.
Face-lifting operations will have to
yield precedence to emergency ap-
pendectomies. By the war's end,
hypochondriacs and the bedside
manner alike may well have be-
come part of America’s past.”
This is a small “sacrifice” indeed
for the civilian to make in the in-
terest cf our seldiers’ health—as
well as the health of these who stay
at home. Give our doctors this kind
of sensible cocperation— and Ameri-
ca’s standards of medical care will
remain the highest in the world.

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK
_ National Newspaper Week is cele-
brated this ycar from October 1-8,
the appreprizte slogan for the event
being “The Newspapers Go All Out
for Vietory.” It is the purpose of ths
newspapers at this time, to further
activities. toward the sale of war
bends and stamps during their week
of celebration. Seo the press siresses
rot only various promctional
thoughts during this week, of the
freedom of the press but points
cut imnumerable privileges enjoyed
by a free people otherwise. We are
most fortunate that tcdday the press
belongs to the people. There is al-
ways a danger of lesing this free-
dom through fear, however fear
imposed upon a pecple and not
through cdercion: by, a government
to: restrain it, is‘a lost press.
“There has always been. criticism
heaped upon newspapers which it
expects, and quite frequently de-
serves. The idea’ our nation’s
newspapers are and influenc-
ed by outside business intevests, is
untrue. There must be an under-

standing and ration between
the reader, the publisher and the
advertiser. The advertiser is a part
of the newspaper set-up, but there
are few of them who attempt to
dictate the policy of the paper, in
spite «i the statements that this is
widely the policy. There are other
complaints, including the one about
politics running the sheet and an-
other about propaganda dictating
issues for public consumption. But
in all of this there is usually ex-
posure and denunciation encugh to
put a stop to the process.
We must maintain our freedom of
| the press by guarding it carefully
from fear wrapped hands. We must
aid and abet the newspaper in its
furtherance of National Newspaper
Week because they carry a nation’s
slogan as well as a newspaper ban-
ner. We are all out fer victory, to
rezders of a free press.

‘National rationing of gasoline, as
mittee, is not propcised because there
is a shortage of motor fuel. To the | By,
contrary, there is an abundance of
gasoline of all grades, and in the
producing areas the oil ccmpanies
are hard-put for storage facilities.
Gassline rationing is to be imposed,
instead, to save rubber—and to save
rail and water transportation facili-
ties for other uses.
At the present time, gascline is
-' rationed in 17 Eastern states. -Ac-
cording to Leon Henderson, it will
be extended to the balance of the
country on precisely the same basis.
That means that the average mo-
torist will be entitled to four gal-
lons weekly—enclugh to carry him
about 60 miles. Supplemental: al-
lowances are given to “essential”
drivers. Practically all pleasure
driving will be climinated for the
| duration.
The effects of this will be felt
most severely in the West. In the
' East, with great cities and heavily
concentrated populations, the motor
car has ncit been nearly so necessary
| as it is in the West, where distances
are vast and cities are few and far
, between. Furthermore, public trans-
| portation has naturally attained a
higher state of development in the
big population areas. The street
car and bus systems, outside of the
TT cities, are simply not ade-
been ! quate to handle the load that has
; long been carried by private aute-
' mobiles.
Drastic restrictions on automobile
use will work a veritable revolu-
tion in this nation. West of the
Mississippi, where distances are
great and interurban transportaticm
limited, no one can estimate the ef-
fect of the slow-down that will oc-
cur. The motor car dominated our
feshion of living ever since the First
Werld War. To millions of people,
the family car is practically as nec-
cssary os food and shelter. During
the twenties and thirties, there was
an ever-increasing migration away
from towns and cities into suburbs.
Men and women lived ten or twenty
or more miles from their places of
business. Just how these pecple will
get back and forth now that car
operation is to be cut to the bone,
is an unanswered question. It is
impossible for them to move closer
td their jobs, for the reason that
there are severe housing shortages
in all ‘areas which have war indus-
tries of any kind.
The desirable solution to this pro-
blem is to produce enough artificial
rubber to keep our cars moving.
But it scems impossible te find out
just how well or badly the synthetic
rubber program is doing. The oil
industry is making progress in the
monufactuie of rubber from oil
derivatives. The tire companies say
‘That they can produce tires from
reclaimed rubber which will give
fair service if driven slowly. A
start is being made to produce an-
other kind of synthetic rubber from
grain alcohol. However, there seems
little question but what the program
in general is still moving too slow-
ly—and that is largely the fault of
the government. No two high public
officials have been able to agree on
just what should be done. As a re-
sult, it will probably he a long time
before anything resembling even an
cmergency supply of rubber is
available for civilians.
Within the next year, without
rubber, transportation problems will
become acute. Tires are really be-
ginning to wear out in volume ncw,
and mere and juore cars are going
into dead storage for lack of rubber.
This is geing to hit farm production
in a critical manner. Street car
and bus companies haven't enough
rdlling stock to meet’ the need. Ins
terurban | transportation ‘was aban-
\doned long age’ in?many parts of
he country, and the tracks were
most entirely on the motor car for
s. ort-haul transport. Sc the lack
of rubber remains our Number One
