Engineer to Cooperate
Lewandowski announced at the
meeting Tuesday night that he will
be glad to work without charge with
Bluffton committees in mapping
plans for the local program. He
offers nothing for sale and is ready
to cooperate with this locality to
further his work along control lines.
Control principles advocated by
the engineer have proved successful
on large plots of land up to 600 and
700 acres, and in smaller areas down
to some with 40-acre area.
In Ottawa Hills, committees of
residents were selected in each Sec
ton to study control needs and sup
ervise the program. LewandowsH
said he felt the same system could
be effectively followed here.
Evidence that Bluffton likely will
adopt a control program this sum-
mer is seen in preliminary action
taken at the meeting.
Committee is Named
Mayor Wilbur A. Howe, Clair
Fett, American Legion commander;
Fred Gettles, president of the Lions
club, and Howard Stager, represent
ing residents, were named on q COM
mittee to start an organization for
mosquito elimination.
Lewandowski's appearance here
was sponsored by the town council,
the American Legion and the Lions
club. All three groups have indi-
Gated their interest in furthering a
local control program and will CO.
operate in setting up a workable
system.
At the close of his talk the
engineer showed motion pictures
illustrating mosquito control in
various areas of the country.

War Moves On Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON Limited Press War Expert)

German military technique, which is unsurpassed in efficiency, is now developing with increasing inten- sity the weapon of fear in radio bar rages of words directed against Great Britain. Hitler's purpose is to try to undermine British morale as a preliminary movement to throwing the civilian population into confusion if and when the de- layed German offensive against the British Isles begins. This action. called the strategy of terror" met with some success in Holland, Bel- gium and France.
 Its use is being directed against civilians, more especially women and children. Efforts to terrorize trained troops are old in the his- tory of warfare. The war whoop and painted faces of Indians, the frenzied cries of African natives advancing into battle, grotesque masks formerly worn by Oriental warriors are examples of terror strategy which, however, have been discarded by modern armies as use- less against disciplined soldiers.
 Civilian Victims
 But warfare now seeks civilian victims as a new form of combat among civilized nations initiated by German efficiency which maintains any weapon that may contribute tc victory is legitimate in battle. The ancient device of fear thus has been resurrected from its burial ground in the primitive past in expectation that civilians, and more especially mothers of young children, can bs forced to plead for peace and sur. render.
 German broadcasts in Englisi tuned to British receiving sets arl now reaching the climax of fea' propaganda by telling British moth CTS that no matter where thei children may be they will be unabl to escape bombing. once the Ger man air blitzkrieg starts.
