THE DOCTORS ON GUAM Editor, Press-Gazette: Official army statements have given the impression that doctors are being returned from overseas to their home communities as rapidly as possible. "Top Military Authorities" were quoted in the November 1945 "War Doctor" as saying today they (the doctors) are returning rapidly as we rush younger replacements abroad."

Member Audit Bureau of Circulations dies for special occasions: A Daily Thought cuss future forest policy in Wisconsin with those citizens who are most directly concerned with it, the officers and representatives of the wood using industries of Wisconsin, and notably the paper makers. We will note the conclusions of that conference with the selfish neighborhood interest that can be expected under the circumstances.

Wisconsin forest conservation efforts, candidly analyzed, have so far been limited largely to protection. In that respect the state has done a magnificent job. The awful waste and the terror of the forest fires of old are now thankfully only a sombre memory. To attempt to make a critical issue of it would not be fair or reasonable, but the fact is that the time arrived long since when forest conservation efforts in Wisconsin demanded something more positive. Forest protection is elementary, and praiseworthy.

Ultimately with an efficient protective system Nature will replenish our vast forest lands in northern and central Wisconsin. But we can help Nature along. Our present conservation laws and policy ate ostensibly based upon that proposition. We should now be actively engaged in reforestration. We should now be encouraging by every feasible and fair means private and industrial forests.

Present state policy on industrial forests is written into the forest crop law, which has proved stagnant. If that law does not work and the history of the last decade has shown that it has not accomplished what was intended it ought to be rewritten to remove whatever its present weaknesses and limitations are. The conservation commission is showing a wide appreciation of its task when it takes up, those problems with the persons who are most intimately concerned, the paper manufacturers who depend upon forest products for their very lives.

When a gentleman discovers too late lhat he has passed his station "There when there are only occasional illnesses and accidents occurring among healthy young soldiers living in sanitated areas, the ratio of doctors to patients is even higher, and is rising. For example, less than one-fifth of the army hospital bed capacity has been utilized for the last 60 days.

At this moment, slightly more than one-tenth of the beds are being used and the number is constantly dwindling. The majority of the patients are convalescents or are suffering with minor ailments. The ratio is less than seven patients per each physician! Dispensary surgeons assigned to field units usually have less than one hour of work per day. Hospital and dispensary dentists are caring for approximately one-third of the personnel they handled as of V-J Day. What will happen to the professional skills of us doctors, let alone our sanity, after many months of this, is open to conjecture.

Said Mr. Vishinsky: "The Soviet government thinks that the presence of British troops on Greek soil is really a danger to peace." Said Mr. Bevin: "The danger to the peace of the world has been the incessant propaganda from Moscow against the British Commonwealth." These are only the puny words of men with a little brief authority. They are but little chips upon a vast and turbulent stream with many eddies and backwashes which lure the innocent spectator into believing that international rivalries have stood still- or even reversed their course. Historically, Russia has craved an open outlet to warm water with the yearning of a sot for the bottle.

For many generations the Bear has put forward into its neighbors' vineyards one of its mighty paws only to have it struck and bruised, and then withdrawn in haste. Russia wants to get into the Mediterranean. It wants to get into the Indian Ocean. Its czars and statesmen, its royalists and communists, its intelligentsia and its beggars, have been impregnated with this stirring, rankling idea from the cradle. And during all these many generations Britain has lain athwart the Russian path, opposed the Russian ambition and stubbornly outfoxed the thousand little tricks, movements and subterfuges employed by the Bear to get her out of the way.

It has invariably been the paw of the Lion that struck at the paw of the Bear and made it retire. Britain has one single argument. It points to its far-flung empire. It says that the Mediterranean is the jugular vein and the Indian ocean the carotid artery of that empire. Mr.

Bevin called the present Russian demand for Tripol-Itania, erstwhile Italian province, as "reaching across our throats." Neither Britain nor Russia contemplates an inquiry into its own outlawry. Britain has gone far to reduce other people to its will. Russia has done the same but because of her geography has found it necessary to move only upon her borders. Russia is an empire as Britain is an empire. Russia consists of numerous nations smothered to her breast.

Her absorption of parts of Finland. Poland and Rumania and of Estonia. Lithuania, Latvia is merely the 1945 version of her long, long story of crushing violence. Her 1946 chapter apparently will include parts of Turkey and Iran, possibly other places. The time will come when there will be nothing between a Russian and British clash of immense proportions but a resort to arms.

Hospital doctors with as long as 33 months in the Tropics are still held there; 20 per cent have been overseas more than two years; over 50 per cent more than 15 long months. Not a single doctor has arrived at the hospital since V-J Day as a replacement from the States and we have been officially informed that none can be expected before July, 1946. Where are those young doctors trained at government expense and those with no overseas duty whatever who were being "rushed abroad?" To speak of "equality of sacrifice" tinder thpse circumstances is hollow mockery.

This my mind will wreck: When they finished eating Which one got the check? Take My Word By FRANK COLBY A WORD TO THE WISE Sometime ago I coined the term 'stoplights of speech' 'to designate those pronunciations or mannerisms which snap the listener's attention, and cause his mind to switch from what is being said to how it is being said. I chose the word "stoplight'' because it accurately describes the manner in he listener's mind puts on the brakes and comes to a full stop the instant a speaker or broadcaster uses an erroneous pronunciation, or indulges in any linguistic trick that is unorthodox, pompous, or affected. This is an extremely important fact of which all public speakers need to be fre two violations within a single 'license year."

When a person is slain the corpse is not merely buried and forgotten. It virtually sits in the courtroom.

Crime is a serious thing in Britain. Here, it is too often a ribald and lurid joke. Whatever the reasons for this great advantage in England the benefits are simply overwhelming and are to be seen everywhere there. Cancer and Polio in Children Recently two children, sufferers from cancer, one from Green Bay and one from Detroit, were publicized across the country through AP wirephotos, tardy proof and reminders of the little known ravages of this fell destroyer among the young. It will surprise most people to learn that more children in this country between the ages of 5 and 19 die each year from cancer than from infantile paralysis, scarlet fever, diphtheria, malaria, typhoid fever, meningitis and dysentery put together.

Due to Mr. Roosevelt's leadership and the distressing, and sometimes permanent condition of lameness left by polio, the country has been moved to contribute generously in fighting this affliction. These contributions work in a good cause. But it is well to remember that cancer is not only our greatest scourge but that it spares neither young nor old and that more attention must he paid to outwitting and avoiding it than will be paid if we rest upon our oars, as we are so likely to do upon the mistaken assumption that it is but an accompaniment of declining and weakening years instead of the curse that it is upon all age groups. Ickcs and Pauley Secretary Ickes testified that Edwin W.

Pauley, the President's nominee for Undersecretary of the Navy, made "the rawest proposition ever made to me" by offering to raise $300,000 for the Democratic campaign chest in return for favors to oil men. Mr. Pauley says Secretary Ickes put "the wrong interpretation" upon his words. The issue between Ickes and Pauley is a blunt and direct one. Taulcy is quite unknown to the country.

Ickes is a man quently reminded. Let us say that we aie listening to a much longer than that, who are in fact surplus, and vitally needed at home, get similar consideration? The official answer that there are no surplus doctors is false, they merely have not been declared surplus. Recently the Commanding Officer of the Hospital attempted to declare surplus at least those of us who had served overseas more than 24 months (even present inflated tables of organization permit this) but his effort was blocked by higher headquarters, and we are still here. We too have earned the right to go home, to plan our future, to see nur lover! ones, and to have families Now! I do derive a mild thrill, however, from the qualifying adjective the insurance corporation usts this winter the first time, I believe, the corporation has abated a jot or title about exposure. For as many years as I can recall it has been just exposure.

Thi3 winter, you will have to worry about UNUSUAL exposure only but don't worry, for it is till up to you to decide for yourself whether any real or imaginary exposure is UNUSUAL. Here's where all Wiseacres, Fuss-budgets and cryophobes (cryophobia, morbid fear of cold) get off. The remainder of this talk is for the young ones, who, because they know no more about it than I do, do not bother their heads about avoiding exposure except as a matter of their own personal comfort. To all young readers, greetings from Ol' Doc Brady. What I tell you about exposure is just my own belief, but there is no other principle of health or medicine upon the soundness of which I am more certain.

It is this: Exposure to sudden change, extreme cold, dampness, draft, insufficient clothing, insufficient heat, (insufficient to keep one comfortable), getting wet or any other environmental condition ycu may conceive of as exposure, has nothing to do with health or illness. That's all. This is a free country and any one may be just as ignorant as he wishes about this. But for goodness sake don't be pervers too and attempt to infer that I must be peculiarly "resistant" fir "unsucceptible" or "insensitive" to cold. I like solid comfort i well as you do.

If I am less likely than you are to catch pneumonia, my relative immunity may be du to one or more factors but I'm dead certain it isn't because I do not fear drafts, wet feet, dampness or going out without hat, shoes, overcoat or muffler. sion in Milwaukee, ana party leaders were hunting for a well-known candidate to top the ticket.

Bacon is considering a candidacy for congress in the Milwaukee fifth district, now represented by Democrat A. J. Biemil-ler, which the GOP is confident of being able to recapture this year. Bacon rose swiltly in the party organization after he plumped for Dewey among the first, and got the committee assignment as a reward after the 1940 national convention.

Every public speaker should constantly be on his guard against any distracting mannerism that might act as a stoplight.

It was 1634 when Jpan Nicolet landed at Green Bay, where he was the guest of honor at a feast of 120 roasted beavers put on by the friendly Winncbigo Indians. Nicolet's discovery and his report on the- rich beaver skins lured many an adventuresome young Frenchman to the VVis-conSin territory. One wrote his homclolks the following letter describing life in the Great Lakes region: "We were in a terrestrial paradise.

Fish and beaver abounded." We saw more lhan a bundled roebuck in a single band, and half as many fawns. Bear's meat was more savory than any pork in France!
