W. Cox, State Health Officer, declared today in emphasizing the advisability of frequent physical examinations. Dr. Cox pointed out that young men who expect to enter military service within the near future should go to their family doctor for a check-up, so that any remedial physicaf defects can be attended to before they are called. “By possible corrective treat ment, many young men can be ready for military service when called, who are not now able to serve,” Dr. Cox said. According to the State Health Officer, not only young men ex pecting to enter military service, but war workers and their fam ilies, students cramming four years’ work into much less time and all others caught in the accelerated speed of the business world today should be examined by a doctor at least twice a year. “It costs less to maintain than to repair,” Dr. Qox declared. “Get to know a good doctor before you need repairs.” Need 25 Sets of Drawing Equipment Will Buy 100 Sets 1 can also use slide rules LOUPOT’S Patronize Our Agent In Your Outfit.

The convention is to be held in Fort Worth, August 18-20. Despite transportation difficul ties, leaders expect home demon stration clubs in 192 counties to be < represented at the meeting. Only out-of-state guest invited to appear on the program is Mrs. Claude R. Wickard of Washington, D.C., wife of the Secretary of Ag riculture.

Juke Box Prom Saturday...35 cents Transportation Problems Constitute War Bottleneck The nation’s wartime crisis in transportation emphasizes the un economic concentration of industry in sections remote from raw ma terials and fuel. It is the economic waste of transportation facilities in cross-hauling that has created one of the serious bottlenecks of the production front, Lachlan Mac- leay, president of the Mississippi Valley association, points out. The North Atlantic states, in which a substantial portion of the nation’s industry is centered, are faced with a critical shortage of both fuel oil and coal. This in dustrial area must also import or bring from distant points in the South and Middlewest most of the raw materials processed in its fac tories. The submarine warfare off the Atlantic Coast and the world wide demand for shipping have placed a tremendous burden on our railroads at a time when every freight car is urgently needed. The politicians and the vested interests of the North Atlantic states who were responsible for the maintenance of the manufac turing monopoly held by that sec tion in the past have combined to increase this uneconomic concen tration of manufacturing despite the war emergency. Recently two huge aluminum plants were au thorized for this section. One is located in Boston and the other in Brooklyn. The two plants will require ap proximately 2,500,000 tons of coal annually—and New England al ready faces a coal shortage. The coal for the plants must be moved from 600 to 800 miles, and the aluminum they will process comes largely from smelters in the South and the Southwest, even more dis tant. This is an example of the un economic cross-hauling which tax es our transportation system. These plants should have been built in the Middle West where we already have an aluminum indus try close to the coal fields and where the Mississippi River pro vides a submarine-free, all-water route for the movement of bauxite from South America through the Port of New Orleans and from the nearby mines of Arkansas. This government is committed to the principles of the Atlantic Charter. Included in the four free doms enunciated in that charter and reaffirmed in the recent agree ment with Russia, is free access to essential raw materials by all nations of the world. If this policy is to prevail in the post-war world, it means .the United States must re-orient its economic structure. It is much less expensive to ship finished products to market than to ship raw materials long dis tances for processing. We must eliminate expensive and wasteful cross-hauling. We must develop an industrial structure which can compete with other countries in the markets of the world. This means we must develop our industry in the Mid-Contineht Area, in which the centers of near ly all of our raw materials are located. It means that everything which is processed from agricul tural products must be made in this area, where the byproducts without waste or transportation loss can be used to feed its live stock. The Mid-Continent Area pro duces 69 per cent of the nation’s live stock; more than 80 per cent of all grains; 72 per cent of the cotton; 94 per cent of the bitumin ous coal; 82 per cent of the petrol eum and 84 per cent of the natural gas; 94 per cent of the iron ore; 99 per cent of the sulphur; 96 per cent of the bauxite, and 71 per cent of the potash. This areas has the finest rail roads in the world, a system of 7,000 miles of navigable inland waterways, excellent ocean ports, and a network of highways and skyways. It possesses excellent living and climatic conditions. It is here America should center its industry of the future. The Mid-Continent Area con tains 51.9 per cent of the popula tion of the United States, and has a majority of the votes cast in national elections. This section can achieve its manifest economic des tiny if it is organized to support its objectives. The organized effort which will attain these objectives cannot wait until the return of peace. It must be started now. In recognition of this need, the Mis sissippi Valley Association has created a Post-War Planning Com mittee to formulate plans for the economic advancement of the Mid- Continent Area that we may be better prepared to effectively meet the conditions of peace which we trust will soon follow the present period of strife. —TWILIGHT— (Continued From Page 3) ployed one big inning.

Juke Box Prom Saturday...35 cents THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1942 —HILGER— (Continued from page 1) Ensign Gay is from Houston and attended A. & M. for three and-a-half years as a student in mechanical engineering. After taking off from his car rier on June 4, Ensign Gay ap proached three Japanese aircraft carriers. After hitting a ship, Gay and his crew members were sub jected to fire from a Zero fighter which riddled the plan and wound ed him. Gay pancaked the plane in to the sea and managed to extri cate himself from the wreckage. As the plane sank, he saw a deflated rubber life raft appear out of the ship’s wreckage along with a black cushion. With this rubber raft he managed to stay afloat and observe the attack on the carriers. He spent the night in the water and part of the next day before being picked up by a U. S. boat. P.I.
