of youngsters that would cause riot in any
North American city.
The male species of this odd combination

that Winter, one of those people who believe
in lots of sunlight vice-versa on the clothing
question and a care-free life in the open with
nothing but fruit in the way of groceries.
Dick was impressed.
The man of nature told him about an
ancient belief that life could be prolonged
two hundred years more if man gave up
cooked food and adopted the Garden of
Eden diet of fruit and nuts, and isolation.

Nv the Associated Press

MELBOURNE, March 13 -
Japan's most advanced invasion
spearhead, apparently blunted
momentarily on the northeast
New Guinea coast, was reported
officially today to have stabbed
off at a tangent into the Solomon
Islands in a new threat to the
supply line from the United
States to the island bridge to-
ward New Zealand.
The move was described in an
Australian air force commune
que which said a Japanese naval
force was seen three days ago
off Kessa, on tiny Buka Island,
stepping stone from New Britain
to the Solomons.
INTENSITY RAIDS
Smashing at the bases the
japanese would need either for
. thrust against Australia or
southeast along the island chain,
the RAAF bombed the Japanese
used airfield at Gasmata, on
New Britain's south coast, yes
terday.
A communique said "all our
bombs fell in the target area
and columns of smoke rose from
>khe ground" It added that
Japanese fighter planes were
beaten off, sone was damaged. and
the raiders returned safely with
their ammunition aim st ex-

that several times earlier Japa-
nese planes have secuted and
bombed Bougainville and other
Solomon islands It r e t h n &

Hebrides and New Zealand.
POSSIBLE TRENDS
These possibilities were fore
seen:
THAT the Japanese strategy
might call for a sweep southeast
toward New Zealand to estab-
lish a screen of island bases be-
tween Australia and the United
States before attempting in
vasion of the Australian CONT

Sewer Project
VitoI County
Link Shifted

Milton p. Adams, secretary of
the State Stream Control Com
mission, reported today the So
called $3.50, 900 Macomb county
interceptor sewer project had
been transferred from the Fed
eral Works Agency to the Work
Projects Administration.
The project is considered the
vital link in q large scale pro-
gram to connect sewers of south
ern Oakland and Macomb coun-
ty war plant areas to the De-
troit municipal disposal plant.
The Macomb interceptor would
pick up lateral sewers through
out the county and carry their
discharges to the Detroit sys-
TEN.
II was concerned when I re-
ceived word of the change"
Adams said, because the WPA
has been requiring . Is per cent
local sp o nsors' contribution.
However, the WPA tells me that
on defense projects IL may stand
100 per cent of the cost and may
even let the project out at con-
tract, so maybe the change
doesn't make any difference"
