h. CAhIER TUCKER OPTIMISTS HELP
 S5,OOO YOUTHS
Sacrifices Needed to Win War Stresses New Presi-
 dent, Missouri Lawyer

Chicago, August GA strong plea for greater realization of the sac riflces needed to win the war was voiced today by R. Carter Tucker, Kansas City, Mo, attorney, follow ing his election as president of Op- timist International at the service organizations annual meeting be- ing held here this week.
 Never before in the history of the world has the need of practical optimism, as opposed to defeatism and pessimism, been more appar- ent," he declared. By this we do not mean the foolish optimism of the ostrich which refuses to face realities, but rather the courage to face those realities with confidence and a determinationto see them solved.
 Our people have the courage and the willingness to make whatever sacrifice is necessary to win this war" the new international presi- dent said. "because we know that victory cannot and will not come unless 1t is earned"
 Delegates from Optimist Clubs throughout the United States and Canada heard Secretary Russell F. Meyer of st. Louis report that more than 85,000 boys received aid last year through sponsored Junior Op- timist Clubs, summer camps, play grounds, and other boy activities.
 Eldon S. Dummit of Lexington, Ky, retiring international president, stressed the importance of service clubs in preserving the principles of democratic freedom and in pro- vidlng leadership in community wartime effort.

WAR PRODUCTION
 BOARD IS SCORED
Severely Criticized for Failure to Change Indus=
 tries Into War Work

Washington, Aug. 6.-(UP)-A confidential report prepared by the War Production Board severely cri- tiCi2es the WIPES own efforts to convert civilian industries to war production, branding them as large ly piecemeal and negative'
 The report covered operations up to June Is, and said that at that time plant conversion was far from actually accomplished"
 Main points criticized were WIPES liberality in granting appeals from manufacturers to continue civilian production, and It's policy of follow ing the recommendations of the armed services in continuing pro- ductlon of certain other commodi- ties.
 The report said that of some 5000 appeals made to WIPE, about 2,000 were granted to allow the manufac- ture of 100000 radio sets, 43,O00 laundry machines, 100000 vacuum cleaners and 40,000 sewing ma chimes above the production origin ally scheduled.
 The officials who made the report pointed out that these items took criy a relatively small amount of critical materials, but complained of the principle involved in granting such q high rate of the appeals.
 Hits Armed Services
 The other criticism, directed part ly at the armed services, said that too many exemptions of civilian production curtailments had been granted at the request of the army, navy and maritime commission. For examples, the report cited the pro- duction of typewriters and metal furniture, which continued months after sales 10 civilians had been banned.
 The report also said that the armed services had too frequently permitted manufacturers to obtain priol4tles for new equipment so that they could continue to hold most of their civilian business while requirements of the services. The textile industry was cited as m example officials said that conversion in these instances would have given critical materials for the war effort instead of for machinery.
 The report followed somewhat the lines of the findings of the Truman committee Investigating the war ef- fort, which was made public June 1G and covered approximately the same period.
 The committee, headed by Sen. Harry s. Truman, D., Mo, blamed $l-a-year men for what it said was failure to convert indus tries to war production in an ef- f!clent manner.

 Marshall Crutcher, certified public accountant, was hired by the council to prepare the assess ment in conjunction with an as- sessor to be appointed by the Committee for Assessment and Collection of Taxes, consisting of Charles D. Hopp, chairman, Ed na Kraft and William P. Smith. The council had been consid- ering hiring an assessor from out of town, but the availability pf MT, Crutcher, in town in con- nection with work for different business firms, offered @ more economical solution. MT. Crutch- CT IS familiar with assessment work, and an assessor will be chosen who is familiar with land values. The assessment work is to be completed by the first week in May.
 The special meeting was the first for, newly-elected Mayor Nick Miell, Councilmen Ray Martin, James H. Pierce, and William P. Smith, and City Clerk Cliff E. Lillethun.

REMEDY NAMED
FOR PREVENTING
The CUT WORM

Poison bran mash, spread along
garden rows the day the plants are
set, or when seedlings appear above
ground, will help to protect the gar
den from cutworms, says DR.. E. N.
Cory, State Entomologist.
When full-grown, the larvae of
these worms are dark olive-green in
color with white stripes, bordered by
darker stripes on the sides and down
the middle of the back. The worms
attain a maximum length of two
inches.
The worms feed on practically all
grasses, small grains and corn. They
feed in the field until most of the
succulent growth has been destroyed,
after which they move in large num-
bers to a nearby field. Many may be
crushed during this migration by
blowing a furrow between the fields
and dragging a log up and down the
furrow as the worms pass over the
ditch.
DR.. Cory says that the poison bran
mash is by far the best method of
control, if it is broadcast in advance
of the worms or scattered over a field
of forage or grain that has been
freshly cut.
The mash is made by thoroughly
mixing two pounds of Paris green
with SO pounds of bran. After mix
ing, the mash is wet down with one
gallon of molases added to six gal
Ions of water. This should be work
ed into the bran and the resulting
mash should be crumbly but not slop-
py. For small amounts, use six
pounds of bran, IA pound of Paris
green, one pint of molasses and three
quarts of water.
The mash is broadcast in the eve
ming as the worms feed at that time
and the mash is most attractive when
it is moist. If a second application
is needed, it should be put on in the
evening also.
Users of Paris green are warned
that it is poisonous to man and ami
mails and great care should be taken
to keep it under lock and key and
label all receptacles holding it. Be
sure to wash the hands carefully af-
ter handling the mash.
