Chased 100 Miles

He declared the Firms in nine
days had chased the Russians more
than 100 miles before closing a
death trap around the fleeing
Soviets. The battle that followed
at Porlampi virtually ended the
karelian Isthmus campaign.
The Firms, the general declared.
captured lab heavy guns. 1855
tanks. 525 cars and tractors, 100
horses and enormous quantities OF
automatic weapons and munitions.
The struggle Al Porlampi is now
called the battle OF the billion
motif" because OF the booty seized
by the Firms was worth 1000. 0O0.-
600 Finnish marks more than the
entire Finnish war budget prior TO
the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-40.

General Captured

In addition TO the 1000 Russians
killed at Porlampi, it was stated,
1000 others were taken prisoner.
Only 5000 Russians under Cen
eral Ivanov escaped from Por-
lampi. but they were said 10 have
met their fate" the next day near
Koivisto. where the chief Of the
43rd Russian Division General
Kirpit inikov was taken prisoner.
Finnish journalists who visited
Viipuri found the destruction there
even more complete than they had
expected as a result Of the Russian
"scorched earth" policy of devasta-
ton before retreating.
They did find. however. that the
600-year-old Viipuri Castle was
still intact, although the Soviets
had made elaborate preparations
to destroy ii by delayed action.
According 10 these Finnish &C
counts the retreating Russians an
ticipated the Finnish forces would
hold a victory celebration at the
castle after entering Viipuri and
the Red army attempted TO blow
up the castle and those in il when
they thought the celebration would

A United Nation Will Win

After % years the United States again at war Once
more the army and navy of this nation are going into
action young volunteering by the thousands and
others being called into service the tremendous re-
of this the mghtest and richest nation on eart
are being organized for struggle that may dete1ne the
very existence of the nation.
Attacked by treacherous enemy while that enemy rep
resenatves continuing conversations at Washington
the army and navy of ouposts were taken by
surprise and an initial victory by the japanese Bitter
fighting is now being waged in widely separated areas
with British and American forces striving to turn the frs
fierce assaults of the japanese.
Already it be that this is to be easy victory
But unthnkabe that victory will not ultimately come
to US With all the vast of the United States and
Great Britain ard the other allies lined up In desperate
battle for life against Japan Germany and Italy, victory to
the Allies would certain But before that glad day
comes there must be sacrifice hard and rigorous work
bloodshed and tears But above all there must be united
nation filled again wit htha die spirit that has
made America great and that has carried us doggedy on
even though the outlook was most discouraging.
Yesterday high Japanese navy official warned his
people prepare for 10 years II Japan can hold out
for 10 years. he had better them for much longer
period for America will keep fighting and will win even
though may require many times 10 years in which to
administer proper defeat to treacherous and unprinci
pied enemy
In this connection it interesting compare the relative

amount of utilization to the maxi
mum number of people for pro-
longed period. utilization" does not
necessarily infer gun use Who
would deny that the sight of deer
does not add to the success of a
Sunday outing?
AS dire consequences can threaten
species through allowing over
abundance on local areas as through
allowing too much shooting. A prob
lem that further complicates man.
agement is conflicting interests. The
average hunter does not own any
land himself but wants to see game
abundant everywhere while the
rancher whose land may support
the game, complains that it is using
the forage that his domestic stock
needs: and the rancher's is just
complaint; we can not expect to
maintain high game populations at
his expensce. But an attitude Of
cooperation on the part of all con-
cerned may eventually bring us to
our, goal. 1t is this cooperation
tnat we solicit.

A misanthrope is one who hates
mankind, one who can see no good
in his fellowmen. Isn't he to be
pitied And isn't it fortunate there
are only very few of them.
This passing thought was aroused
by little incident that came to my
attention recently. Last week when
the streets were slippery a Libby
woman had her auto smashed into
by strangers car. One door was
badly damaged but, as she said, the
man was not to blame, he was doing
all he could to control his car but
just couldn't.
After the damage was done, he
was profuse in his apologies and
told the Libby woman to drive to
the garage that she patronized. he
would follow and make arrange
ments to pay all the charges. All of
which he did
Now that wasn't any more than
the man should have done but it
shows that there are some nice peo-
pie in the world; people who are
anxious to rectify any damage they
may cause. Which reminds us THAI
there are not only some nice peo-
pie" in the world but in fact there
are lot of nice people all around

THE FEDERAL AID TO WILD
LIFE PROGRAM

On September 2, 1887, the Presi-
dent approved the Federal Aid to
Wildlife Restoration Act otherwise
known as the Pittman- Robertson
Act. Various economic and eli
matte causes are ever diminishing
the natural food and cover which
are necessary for the sustenance OF
all wildlife. The purpose OF this
cooperative Federal-State program
is to check the depletion of one OF
the nations most valuable re-
sources.
Each state whose legislature has
voted the acceptance of the benefits
of this act, sets up wildlife restora-
ton projects which must be ap-
proved by the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service. The revenue
with which to carry on the work
under the provisions of the net
arises from the 10 per cent excise
tax on guns and ammunition, Thi1
money, known rs the Federal N4Aio
to WiIdlife Restoration Fund, Is set
aside in the United States treasury
and used to reimburse the game de-
partments OF the states to the ex-
tent of rs per cent OF their expendi-
lures on these projects.
The act provides for projects con-
cerned with the purchase and de-
velopment of lands, the restoration
of natural environment, and the
carrying on of research into the
problems OF wildlife management
Here in Lincoln county and ada
cent counties within the state we
are more particularly concerned
with the problems of management
Specifically, our job is to make
plans for sound game management
and put them into effect. Game
management has been defined as
the art of making land produce
sustained annual crops of wild game
for recreational use. 1t must recog-
nize private interests and the eco
nomics of communities. 1t must be
built upon firm foundation of
facts from the field. Accurate
knowledge must replace personal
views and selfish motives. Accord
ing to Ira N. Gabrielson, director
to the Fish and Wildlife Service,
Al lis present Sldte, Wlldii1e man
agement is an effort to apply to
urgent problems the geological and
biological data that are now avail
able, always with the consciousness
that existing tools, methods, and
processes may have to be discard
ed as new and better information
becomes available"
That Lincoln county has a large
percentage of excellent deer range
is proven by the high deer popula-
ton it supports. 1t is our response
bility as hunters, conservationists,
and nature lovers in general to
manage these animals in such a
manner as 10 get the maximum

use of farm products in other things
than their regular channels. Thrill

The first chemurgist was perhaps
negro. George Washington Car

finding new uses for the peanut and
sweet potato, that both negroes and
whites may make a better living.
DR.. Hale, one of the instigators
of the meeting which developed in

Gil says, Let us grow more and
more until every acre is trapping
sunshine. and until every employ
able human being has a job and is
adding the value of his labor to
the things which nature provides
so abundantly. Let us use it for
food, clothing, shelter and trans
portation, communication, medicine
and the thousand and one things
we need, want and must have"
