I6O.O00 TONS OF CHEESE GOAL SET NEW ZEALAND

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Wi liam Singleton, Director of the Dairy Division of the New Zealand Department of Agricul- ture, reports that his department of the government is making a big drive to expand the national cheese production during the next year 10 a level requested by the British.
 The Departments goal at pre- sent is l5,000-ton increase in cheese production over the pre- vious season. That increase, so MT. Singleton said, is practically assured, largely due to forum ate agricultural season. The cur rent seasons experience, he said, will aid in the expansion of the cheese output by about 33 per cent next year, a vo ume the Brit ish now seem to require.
 In the current sesson more than l,700 dairy farmers changed

Cheese to Britain
 Asked By Wickard

WASHINGTON - If the Am- erican consumer wants to do something to aid Great Britain, Secretary Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, sug- gests, he can eat less cheese.
 The head of the Department of Agriculture appealed to the na- tion's citizens 10 reduce cheese consumption as means to assist the United States Government in feeding all nations resisting az gression.
 Tn this time of crisis" he said. many citizens have asked me: How can we contribute to the defense effort?' Isn't there some thing we can do? Reducing the consumption of cheese to make more of this feed available to the British is a real contribution the average citizen can make and one which I am sure he will be glad to make"
 The Secretary called on manu- lecturers to dry skim milk to use as much of their products as pos sible for human consumption in stead of for animal feed. Confer ences will soon be called by the Department to discuss expansion of the output of dry skim milk. New plant construction will be considered.
 The urgency of the British de- mand for cheese was indicated by the Secretary's appeal which was made despite the fact that Ameri can cheese stocks are 29,000,000 pounds ahead of last year.
 Secretary Wickard said that the people of this country have never considered cheese an es- sential part of their diet to the same degree as Britain and urg- ed that where families here can afford to replace cheese by other foods containing the same nutrit i've values they should do so.

Mules For Spares

ANCHORAGE - Forty-six mules will be enlisted" at Fort Richardson. Addition of a vet erinary officer to the staff has been given war department ap- proval. The officer also will have charge of food inspection, check ing all food as it arrives.
 The system will enable the army to do more business local ly, it is believed. At present the army must purchase canned sal mon in Seattle, where it under goes inspection, and then ship it to Anchorage. With the new of- ficer on the staff, the salmon could be purchased direct from Alaskan canneries and taken to the fort.
 Dairy products and vegetables offered for sale by local farmers would come under inspection of the veterinary.
 How the mules will be used is not known here. It is considered poss:b e that they will be kept available for emergnecy use in case gasoline supplies run low and motor equipment is restrict ed in use.

Cutting Red Tape
Seattle Post Intelligencer)

Seattle -Intelligencer)
 During World War there were frequent complaints about Army and Navy red tape, the as- signment of a perfectly good cook to learn how to navigate a truck while an experienced truck driver proved mess in mess hall work, and so on.
 Almost inevitably similar com pla;nts have been heard this time.
 IL Is encouraging to report a different case which came to our attention recently.
 The man in the case as naval reserve officer and the other day he received notice from the Navy Department to get ready to go to Greenland for duty.
 There ensued a correspondence which we reproduce only as to its gist, with the note that the actual language was more for nal:
 Why in the name of common sense should I be sent half way around the world when all my experience has been in Alaskan waters? You might need men like me there"
 70. K, mister. Glad you told told us, Get ready for Alaska"
 He's going to Alaska at once.
 Evidently sound sense can cut through red tape, a fact that ought to be noted wherever red tape may still be entangling a service man in his relations with his Government.

 The Senators, because they in their wisdom, and contrary to the overwhelming sentiment of the vast majority of American citi- zens, oppose the foreign policy of this government, are selling Am erican life and liberty short to preserve beautiful dream which has been shattered by rude aWak enings everywhere it has come up against the ruthlessness and greed of Nazi Germany.

DEFENSE BOND
QUIZ

O. What happens if I suddenly need the money put into Defense Savings Bond? A. You can cash you Bond at any time, after 60 days, for the full amount paid, plus any in- terest due you.
 O. Do many Bond owners cash Bonds? A. No. People want to help arm America ag- ainst all attacks. In many cases, people are putting every cent they can spare into Defense Bonds and Stamps. Some are doing this by asking employers or banks to withhold part of their salaries in order to buy these Bonds or Stamps for them
 Note.-To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office or bank, or write for information to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. c.

Bertie And Robbie Sell America Short

Whether the United States Is constructing naval base in Nor thern Ireland is, of course, some thing we don't know very much about. The proposal strikes us as not at all bad. But we din i sit own to write an eitorlal like that.
 What we would like to point out is this. When Hitler makes a move against his enemies, the first they know about it is when German shells begin to Whiz tanks to blitz. planes to bomb and parachutists to shower down. What a wonderful help it would have been to the democracieS fighting for their lives if Nazi Germany's Bertie Wheelers and Bobby Tafts had called in the re- porters and told them for pub lication around the world that 'on reliable authority" Hitler was about to launch a parachute in- vasion gainst Crete or was nov ing an army into Libya to attack the Suez Canal.
 Of course. the Bertie Wheelers and Bobby Tafts of Germany, if that nation is so unfortunate as to have such individuals. do not have access to information of the sort we intrust to our Senators. If they were informed of Hitler's plans they would know death was the penalty for disclosing them. Germany has no free press to air the views of the critics of the administration. Finally. mo- thing, Tn the nature of inform ation helpful to the Reich's en- emies (and never duobt we are among them) would ever be al- lowed to leak through the cen sorship 10 the outside world.
 So our situation is not very much like that prevailing over there. But it will be exactly like it, to the extent that Americans as well as the people of the rest of the world will be heiling a conquering Hitler, if irrespon- sibles such as Wheeler and Taft continue 10 sabotage the defense efforts of this nation and her al lies.
 When Senator Wheller forecast the occupation of Iceland and Senator Taft discloSas the sit uation of a new United States base they are endangering the lives of Americans and the very existence of the nation. Ii is true, the Senators are helping Hitler from what to them appear to be the very highest motives. They, poor fools, want to keep us at peace, the peace that Czechoslo- vakia knew until Munich, that Poland enjoyed until August, 1889, that England and France

Bruce, who is president of the

rules which must be observed.
Dues, which are 10 cents a month,

must be careful with his bow and
arrow. For violating these rules,
which are only two of many, a
student can lose his membership.
However, no one has been put out

During the previous four years. only
intraclub competition was held, but
this year an event for girls was
added If a student wishes to join
but has no bow, the club will supply
one. Quite a number of the mem
bers, mostly boys, have made their
own bows.
It's really very simple and much
cheaper than buying one" Bruce
said. Il made this one with only a
pocket knife, a small plane and
broken glass He held up beauti-
full bow which couldn't be dis
tinguished by the average person
from factory product. 1t costs
about dollar to make bow.
Bruce explained that hickory or
lemon wood is best. The pocket
knife and plane are used to cut the
wood to the right size and the
broken glass to scrape it smooth.
Then it is vanished and strung
with linen or shoemakers string.
Asked how the bows are bent,
Bruce said. After they are used a
while they will bend themselves. I"

occasionally used elm bark, but more
often made their canoes. or dugouts,
from logs. A fire was started along
the top of a log and kept in check
by wet clay plastered over the por-

with stone axes-the process being
repeated until the log was complete
ly followed out.
Indians were not the melancholy
people they are often made out to
be. They not only enjoyed a hearty
laugh, but also cracked jokes, most
Of which were based on puns. They
invented many games, such as la
crosse, which were later taken over
by the white man. They were esPe-
cially fond of dice. for which they
used marked fruit pits. One of their
favorite winter games was snow
snake" This consisted of seeing
who could throw long, thin stick
farthest over the snow by sliding it
on the crust.
Used Turkish Baths.
Early writers described the In
dians as untidy, and in comparison
with the white mans standards
there is no doubt that they were.
1t is worth mentioning, however,
that long before the Turkish bath
became popular with the palefaces,
similar custom was widely prac-
ticed by the Indians.
They built ovens of tWigs and
clay, so constructed that smoke
could not escape. These ovens,
which were large enough to hold
three or four men, were usually To-
Gated near a running brook Stones
were heated in a fire and placed
in an oven. When it was good and
| hot. the Indians withdrew the stones
and jumped into the oven them
selves. After perspiring freely. they
plunged into the cold waters of the
brook. No wonder the Indian war
riors were called braves
The Indians have been criticized
because their women did most of
the work, especially when the tribe
was on the march. There was a
good reason for this, however-the
men had to be constantly on the
alert for danger. They had to be
free to use their weapons at an
inStant's notice in defense of their
women and children. Most authori-
ties agree that they treated their
women veE well, Interesting in this
connection is the fact that they
thought highly of cooks and were
very liberal in their praise of a
well-cooked meal Who said the
Indians weren't civilized?
