sandy soils OF Australia we'll suited

About ten years ago government
scientists started to fight this cactus
plague by bringing to Australia the

and which attacks the cactus plants
and kills ther4s
More than three billion eggs of
these insect cactus fighters are said
to have been distributed, billions of
cactus plants have been killed, and
five million acres of land have been
reclaimed. 1t now Is found, how
ever, that the cactus insect needs
help. 1t is able to kill off all young
shoots OF the cactus plants so that
most OF the plants die. A few plants,
however, may survive by means of
underground roots or shoots which

THE RESOLUTION
AGAINST FIRE

Here's a resolution for the New
Year that IS worth making and keep
ing: Il will do my part TO lower
America's IRE loss during the next
twelve months."
II every -hOnle-oWneF will do that,
| Il will mean money in everyOne's
pocket. It will mean that thousands
OF lives that would otherwise be de-
stroyed will be saved. It will mean
that factories that would otherwise
be. burned will keep on employing
men. It will mean that homes will
continue to stand that otherwise
would become mounds Of ash.
For the past two years the nation
has witnessed a fairly substantial
decline in the fire loss. This is part
" due to the fact that property val
ues are lower than in previous years
and partly to the fact. that there
has been real drop in the nUTHer
Of fires. But our waste Is still dis
gracefully high-higher than in any
other civilized country.
It's easy to find out the basic rules
for fire prevention. Keep a watch
full eye on your heating plant, your
electric wiring, your disposal OF
waste matter. Be especially care
fal with inhammable liquids. Re-
member that careless use Of matches
and smoking materials is one Of the
most potent causes of fire. When
building or rebuilding. adhere to an
up-to-date, approved building code.
And inspect your home periodically
for hazards that may arise from time
to time.
Fire marshals and insurance COM
panies will be glad 20 help you with
any problems YOU may meet in seek
ing to make your property as fire.
resistant as possible. II won't take
much of your time. And it may pay
you gigantic dividends, both in mon
ey and safety.

Several thousand large mouth

Former Governor Robert P. Rob

He said he could not give out list
Of ponds to be stocked but that ev-
cry section of the State will be af-
fected.
The work will be supervised by
Chief Game Warden Clarence S.

Due to a lack of funds pending

the commission is unable to do any

BOY SCOUTS NOTES

A trip to our National Capitol Il
a treat for every United States citi-
zen, but a ten-day visit to Washing
ton along with 10000 other Scouts
is the real treat IN store for q num-
ber Of Delaware and Maryland
scouts for this coming summer. -.
The occasion for this great pil-
grimage of scouts Is the celebration
of the twenty-fifth anniversary OF
scouting in this country. The PHI.
grimage is in direct answer TO an
invitation extended by President
Franklin d. Roosevelt, Honorary
President Of the Boy Scouts Of Ann
erica, given over a Nationwide ra-
dio broadcast during Scout AnniVer-
sary Week last February.
Not every scout will be able to
attend this national jamboree due
to the fact that there are some 7O0,-
900 scouts in the United States. In
stead, each scout troop will be en-
titled to one representative. The
scout TO be selected will then have
to be at least a first class scout with
at least ten days Of actual camping
experience.
A number of the scout troops Of
Delaware and the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland have already started plans
for financing the expenses of their
representative for this epOchai
scouting event. Many scouts are hop
ing that they be the lucky one to
represent their troop for this great
at our National Capt.
