gram theme for 1941-42 chosen by
the board of managers of the Cali
fornia Congress of Parents and
Teachers meeting this past week
in Palo Alto with Stanford univer-
sity and the city of Palo Alto acting

tenance of morale. Under the head
ing of nutrition it is planned to

es. Study courses IN nutrition will

on the agenda for special session,
in case one is called, an appropria-
ton for the care of crippled chill
dren.
The hard of hearing child will
be benefited by a $1,000 Annie Bean
fund, bequeathed to the organiza-
ton by the will of the late Annie
Bean and administrated by her
niece, Mrs. Bryant Smith of Vallejo.
Changes in policy of the organ
ization included discontinuance OF
program awards of merit and the
substitution of certificates of at
tainment for those of standard rat
ing.
Among he many speakers of note,
Mrs. Marjorie Edwards urged the
association to continue, through ed
ucation, the prevention of heart all
ments in children, warning espec-
tally against over fatigue, child
hood diseases and the common cold.
Mrs. G. A. Weakley, president of
the Imperial county association,

this meeting, and will give full re-
port at the first meeting of the

Refugees Not to Choke Roads
During Evacuation of Indies

sure against mass desertion.
When the Dutch believed that the
Japanese might invade Java last
June during the dry season many
hundreds of brown laborers hur-
ried to the hills.
Factories closed. But soon the
native workers returned. Their
livelihood was threatened.
Soldiers may have to stand
guard at factories. Some insist
that this witt not prevent work
ers from sneaking off after they
have gone home. Few plants are
so constructed that they can be
turned into dormitories. However,
several large concerns are max
ing arrangements to house the
majority Of their employees.
An army officer expressed grave
doubts as to whether the native
laboring masses would remain at
their posts but he added that
ways and means were available
to maintain skeleton crews in the
shops despite the heaviest bomb
ings.
One point that Is consistently
dwelt upon when the problem is
considered Is that the natives

Dutch. and that they would rea-
lie that their duty to country
calls for sacrifices.
Native Morale Reported High
Native regents keep the people
well informed on every happen
ing OF Importance. This feature
has built up native morale ire
mendously.
When the news that Holland
was invaded spread through Bor-
neo a settlement near the coast
was surprised one day to see a
swarm of back country warriors
approaching in full tribal battle
kit. They yelled wildly and brand
ished old fashioned guns and
spears.
1t looked like an uprising, and
preparations for a siege were
made.
The chief asked to see the army
post commander. and a cautious
audience was granted. The tribe
had come to report for duty to
fight the Germans. They had been
five days on the way from the in
terror.
The gesture was appreciated
and explanations were offered.
The natives were disappointed
that no immediate conflict was
in sight. They threw down wea-
pons and said that II they could
MT fight the least they could do
was to offer their arms.

invented a "non-terrifying' gas
mask. guaranteed not to scare bah
les and which enables a pretty girl
to don the protection and. Of all
things, remain pretty.
The new mask is made OF a
transparent. thermoplastic material
known as koroseal, and is now un-
dergoing tests by the Army.
Contrast With Today's Masks
Most masks used here and
abroad today transform the wearer
into apparitions ranging from
Mickey Mouse with his nose in a
trap TO someone who looked as
though he had put on a horses
feedbag and then ran the bathroom
pipes through 1t.
Eeguillon features the transpar-
ent motif, with frameless eyepieces
fitted into the material Head
straps, nose pieces and other parts
are delicately but firmly fitted in
the same manner and the result is
supposed to be much less distaste-
full to the male OF the species than
the sight OF his wife retiring with
chin straps. curriers' and other first
aid treatments for fading beauty.
'Leguillon didn't start looking for
a mask which would better salts
fly the esthetic spirit. He was look
ing for a mask that would improve
resistance to all types Of poison
GUS and noxious gases and dust.
Climate No Barrier
He also was seeking . mask
which could be used in the tropics
or in arctic regions with equal Of
ficiency, one which wouldn't re-
act adversely under change OF eli
mate.
However, when his experiments
with transparent materials began
to take shape he realized he had
something for the esthetic side as
well.
One feature which Is being
widely commended in the Leguil-
lon mask is a sort OF "defroster"
effect, by which fresh air from
canister hose passes over the eye
pieces, removing condensed mois-
ture which fogs up many types OF
masks currently used.

Occupation Of Iceland no
Help For Weather Prophet

Chicago, UP United
States occupation OF Iceland isn't
going to help the weather man a
bit-despite the fact that the rocky
island is key point for long range
forecasting for the entire North
American coastline.
DR.. c. G. Rossby, assistant chief
OF research from the Washington
weather bureau, points out that
Britain has been keeping reports
from Iceland's half-dozen weather
stations "a jealousy guarded Sc
cret" ever since occupation OF the
island.
And Britain would be foolhardy
not to do so. says Rossby. The
reason is simple. Icelandic reports
would aid in plotting long range
forecasts for eastern America, but
they are of vital importance for
day to day European forecasts.
When ! worked for Sweden's
weather bureau" he said, Ice
landic conditions were the first
thing we'd look for on the chart in
making up our forecasts.
Rossby, who will remain on
leave Of absence from his Washing
ton post until September to serve
as director OF the University OF
Chicago's new institute OF meteo-
rology, is the leading exponent OF
the air mass theory forecasting
in this country. He believes that
within the next 10 or Is years
the U. S. bureau will be able to
extend accurate long range fore
casting to 80 days or so. That is,
providing the war doesn't last too
long.
Long range forecasting, he ex-
planned. is concerned not with
predicting each days weather -
but with assaying temperature and
rainfall anomalies that will occur
in each area.
