ground because of the broad, pro-
tecting branches Of the pine. He
looked across to the big chestnut
tree and there he saw Farmer
Browns Boy just starting to climb

Just TO give you
an idea of the strange and varied
items that are considered treasure
trove in wartime, look at these
things unearthed or seized by the
Field Service agents in a typical
week:
Two million gallons of sugar
syrup to be converted into indus
trial alcohol; 100000 pounds of
pig lead; 100000 pounds of
liquid latex; 1900 asbestos bags;
two million pounds of structural
steel; 48 tons of copper, resting on
a Pacific dock, originally bound
for the Philippines to be made into
coins; 600 gallons of neatsfoot oil,
used as lubricant for delicate ma
chinery and Instruments; 45,OOO
cases of evaporated milk and
3,5OO,OOO pounds of copper sui
phate insecticides once bound for
French Morocco. And finally, 800
tons of airplane engine forgings
-originally destined for France
which will be remelted and
used in the production of high
grade alloy steels here.
