ut is often asked why CCC boys
are not given military training
said w. T. Brophy, while speaking
before the Libby Lions at their din
ner Monday night. There are sew
eral reasons why this is not done,
said the speaker. He continued with
the statement that
Since age and other require
ments have been lowered, we are
receiving younger and much
better class of boys than we did
when the CCC work was first start
ed. Many Of these boys are 80
young that they would make very
poor combat soldiers, being mere
boys. Another reason why military
training for the Gees is frowned
on is because it would be very ex-
pensive. The groups are very small
for such training. 1t would require
a certain amount OF equipment and
this equipment would be scattered
among large number of camps
Military training would also make
necessary additional administrative
expense.
framing Is valuable
THE object in mind in the train
ing of the CCC boys is rather of
an educational nature" continued
Mr. Brophy 'The training we give
them gets them accustomed to rou-
tine and working under rules and
regulations. Many of the boys
have never had that experience.
They have never come under the
training that regular work gives
one, and accustoming them to rou-
tine is most valuable for them. This
has been testified to in the later
work of number of the boys. Some
of them have left the CCC and
have gone into army service. Army
officers tell us that a boy who has
had CCC training makes an unusual
ly good soldier. He has been taught
to live in camp, he has been &C
customed to life with number Of
his fellows, and the habits of rou-
tine obtained in his CCC training
are an advantage to him in his
army life.
From the standpoint of defense,
the training the boys are given is
not wholly loss, but instead is

DO
YOU
KNOW?

A 1900 acre "home' is being de-
veloped in Okanogan County to furnish
a habitat for deer, pheasant, beaver
and other wild life.
The home is the Sinlahekin Wild
life refuge and is operated by the
State Game Department.
Land was purchased from funds re-
ceived through the sale of hunting and
fishing licenses plus a government ap-
preparation under the Pittman- Robin
ON act, which placed tax on guns
and ammunition, of three government
dollars to each state dollar.
Besides natural habitat for thous-
ands of deer which concent. ate there
each winter, the Sinlahekin has an
abundance of quail, Hungarian and
Chinese pheasants and the heaviest
beaver population in the state.
The refuge is not Il reserve, instead
is open for fishing and for hunting in
certain areas.

WON BADGE FOR BRAVERY

Tales of herosm overseas recall
the valor shown by our own fighting
forces in the first World War, the lus-
Ter of whose deeds remains undimmed
even though the present war is adding
name to the honor roll of those who
have won awards for bravery.
Not all of the decorations won in
the stirring days of 1918 were for
hsroism in battle. Some mere earned
under circumstances far less spectacu-
lar though equally fraught with dan
ger in some less active sector. Such
was the award won by LIST Sgt. John
X. McGraw of the z. S. Marines.
Mac as he was known to his bud
dies, was the first sergeant of an avia-
ton squadron in Flanders when Mar
inc Corps plane got out of control and
crashed into a pile of live bombs.
In an instant he was at the scene
of the cash and making every effort
to rescue thc aviator pinned beneath
the burning plane. Tongues of flame
scared the crates in which the bombs
had been placed while bursting drums
of machine gun bullets from the burn
ing plane added to the danger
One glance assured McGraw that
the pilot whose chest had been crushed
was beyond help. He worked frantical-
ly to dag the burning bomb crates off
the pile while others rolled them in the

HoLLYHoCK RUST

The past several weeks large num-
Der of samples of hollyhock plants in
tested with rust have been sent to the
extension office. We are therefore out
lining the control measures for this
infestation.
Hollyhocl rust il definite infeG>
tious fungus disease, the occurrence of,
which is not related to the nature of
the soil but rather to the result of the
introduction of parasite from out
affects the various wild hosts such as
the common garden mallow and con-
sequenty could come from wild plants
surrounding the farm or home.
Control measures are more in the
nature of prevention treatments and
consequently little can be done that
would be of value this late in the sea-
son. One of the more important pre-
disposing factors contributing to the
wide spread infestation has been the
heavy rainfall and continued cool
cloudy weather during the past several
months. In view OF this gardeners
should water the hollyhocks in such
manner that the foliage is not dampen-
ed. This means no sprinkling, only
root irrigation Insect pests, such as
aphids, red spiders and various biting
and sucking insects should be Kept In
check since they serve to spread the
spores of rust. If the rust had appeared
on your plants they should be busted
with finely powdered sulphur as soon
as there is any evidence of the trouble.
If only few leaves are infested, they
should be removed by hand picking.
Remember that in busting, use a
good buster that will throw an effect
i've cloud of dust. An additional pre-
caution against the disappearance OF
the trouble next year is the careful
destruction of all diseased parts of the
plants including leaves and stems. They
should be raked and burned and not
be allowed to rot on the soil. In the
spring before growth starts, it would
be we'll to spray the soil around the
plants with a solution of blue stone,
one pound to five gallons Of water.

tons are under way to buy the re-
naming acreage.
Mexican officials. have promised
to provide 1000 acres directly
across the Rio Grande River, TO
form an international park, as soon
as the United States establishes its
national park.
Two years ago the state surren-
/ dered its 22j.O00 acres Of public
land in Brewster County to the
park board. Since that time a cam
paign TO raise 100000 TO buy pri-
vate land adjacent to the state park
has begun, and legislative commit
tees have responded favorably to
requests for a S1,5O0,O00 state ap-
preparation for the purpose.
Land OF little. Value
Most of the land sought is valued
at 81 an acre or less, and the great
est difficulty, lies in obtaining re-
leases from the owners on mineral
rights. Quicksilver, silver and sew
eral other minerals have been found
in the vicinity, although sponsors
claim that the present proposed
boundaries exclude all known min
eral areas.
The park is on the Rio Grande
River-the inverted hump region
OF West Texas on the map. 1t is so
miles south OF Marathon, a little
ranch country town, and approx
mately 500 miles southeast of FL
Paso.
The movement TO establish park
has been led by Z. L. Townsend o.
Alpine. former state representa-
tive and former Texas Ranger. The
district was a locale for several
novels by the late Zane Grey, and
represents what movie audiences
would consider "typically Texas"
Canyons Add To Beauty
Three Of the most beautiful spots
are canyons formed by the Rio
Grsnde, which has sliced through
mountains to leave giant cliffs that
flatten out into arid plains. Santa
Helena Canyon, with cliffs on the
Mexican and American sides reach
ing 1900 feet above the river, is
the best-known of the three. Others
are Mariscal and Boquillas Can
yons.
Foliage is abundant in the higher
elevations of the park. particularly
the Chisos mountain basin, but the
main interest is that of geology and
the contrasting colors Of mountain
and plains formations.
Biologists explain that the park
area is a geological Island formed
by the criss-crossing of the Rocky
and Appalachian mountain systems.
At no other place do the two great
mountain systems of North America
I cross.
The result OF the geological up
heayal was to establish within the
/ boundaries Of what now is the
United States an area where plant
and animal life is closely allied to
that of Mexico. Sponsors have
urged creation OF a bird and wild
animal sanctuary in the district,
which contains the almost extinct
antelope and bighorn sheep as well
as more common forms OF wild life.
Area Rich In Fossils
Psychologists consider the zone
one of their best fields in the West
ern Hemisphere. Because Of its
unique geological history, there are
/ abundant fossilized remains of pre-
historic animals, birds and plants
to-be preserved through the cen.
