Ccc GONE But REGION Will
PROFIT LONG FROM ITS WORK

going into barracks, boats, airplanes, |
and defense industries.
Labor backbone of both state and
federal firefighting organizations dur
ing these years was the CCC, which |
piled I'D a total of 826,171 man-days
of fire fighting.
Best testimony of the effectiveness
of the frefghting enrollees working
under the direction of technical ex-
perts was the reduction in the aver
age size of fires on federal forests in
the region from 434 acres in the
period 1931-34 to 25.7 acres in 1934-38
and to 15.4 acres in 1894. Acreage
burned is kept low through prompt
and efficient action. The CCC boys
were trained to supply it.
Today the states in this region are
trying to fill the gaps left by the
closing of CCC camps. Volunteers
must be recruited to fight fires, and
manpower is scarce due to the drain
for army and industrial needs. But
no matter who fights the fires this
year, next year, and the year after,
the fires will be reached in great part
by roads and trails constructed by
CCC boys.
Some $1,000 miles of roads and
trails were built from 1888 to 1912, and
1912 bridges were constructed to
take those roads and trails across
streams and gullies into the heart OF
the forests. In addition 476 fire towers
built by the peacetime soldiers of the
CCC make it possible to detect and
report fires promptly.
Trees benefited by timber stand
improvement work of the Corps are
now feeding wars huge appetite for
wood Up to June 1912, 75O,599 acres
of forest were given such Improvement
by the CCC, through thinning OF
stands, release from overlapping
brush, and pruning. Approximately 8
billion trees for Americas future
needs were planted on some 100000
acres of land left bare by an earlier
generation.
Contributing to the health and rec
reational facilities of these nine states,
the CCC improved 8,753 acres of
camp and picnic grounds, planted 900
million fish in lakes and streams,
and built 1875 dams for impounding
water.
Many other kinds of work were
undertaken, insect control, w1ldl1fe
feeding, mapping, repair of equipment,
construction of buildings, and incl
dental jobs, but all are included in the
total of 34,736,7O0 man-days of SER
vice recorded officially for all CCC
projects in the north central region
On-the-job training as well as
educational opportunities after work
hours gave thousands of boys the
means of earning a living after their
enrolment ended-as woods and saw

operators, truck mechanics telephone

The citizens Tax Relief Association
of the Twin Cities shows by figures
that Minnesota is spending about
twelve million dollars per year less for
current operations than it did in the
1878 fiscal year. The figures snow
that in that year the state spent
under the Benson administration the
tidy sum of SOS, 664,446. In 1s4O-41
under Stassen the state spent e4,14O,-
600. In the face of this, we have not
as yet heard of many pie-counter
patriots starving to death. It is
also evident that the saving
cut no ice in the minds of some
of our citizens as at the last
FL convention it was decided to re-
turn the 1878 treasury hooters with
their forces of inspectors back to
power providing the payrollers OF thai

James Fry, chairman of the COM
division of the govern
ment, says that we talk too much and
that if We don't stop chewing the
fat over the phone, it may be neces-
sary to put the telephone calls under
priority, says Bill Higgins in his very
readable comments, "This Week" Bill
also gives out many personal opinions
among which we find the following:
$50 you don't think this war is
really messing up our American way
of life. Well, we've been in it just
seven months and see what's hap
pened already. No more automobiles,
no more tire Taxes going up, mer-
chant ships going down. Retail prices
frozen, wages on the loose. War plants
swamped with job-seekers, farmers
desperate for field hands. Big business
passing dividends, little business pass
out. Million of single men in uniform,
million of married men in debt. Warm
weather in April, cold weather IN
June. But why go on? Sherman once
summed it up in just three words.

Defense Bonds Mean Victory

The "kick into the pot in ex-
change for a job" policy of some OF
the countys office holders, is receiv-
ing considerable of a jolt judging by
the newspaper reports of late hap
penings. The whole mess does not SET
well with the public and especially the
taxpayers. We personally feel that
where a number of employees are
working for an office holder and their
Job depends on his reelection, they
can and should show their loyalty &c

influence and campaign expenses

so that she and her family will have plenty to wear.
 Furthermore, she had better be- gin now seeing that the whole fam fly starts taking the best possible care of the clothes they have. And she had better hang on to any out moded clothes where the material is still good for future remodeling.
 Many kinds of food will be scarce. That is another safe guess. But families won't need to suffer, if the homemaker is busy right now learning all that she can about adequate diets and food and meat substitutes.
 HELP WILL BE SCARCE
 Household help will be harder and harder to get. Knowing that, with the war plants needing more and more workers, it will be prac- tically impossible for family to keep a maid, the wise housewife who still has help will be organ izing her housework now so that she can get along unassisted. If she is the helpless type who thinks she never could do a washing she had better take few lessons from her maid, while she still has some- one to teach her.
 Private nurses will not always be available. Already in many communities there is scarcity of nurses, and as the war goes on there will be even fewer to care for civilians. So the housewife can't start too soon on home nursing course, so that she will be capable of giving her family proper care in time of sickness.

TROPICAL LANGUOR WAY UP
 NORTH

NORTH
 The gradual development of uf1. complicated salt deficiency in a see dentary person leads to weakness, excessive fatigue, anorexia uack of appetite) and nausea, quotas Tal- bolt in the Jour. A.M.A. from Mc- Cane in London Lancet, Physical performance is impaired and mem tai acuity diminished. A thirstlike sensation may occur which is not relieved or satisfied by water or other beverage. Everybody who has ever worked hard, played hard or made any sustained effort over Q period of hours, in any weather or environment, probably has ex- perienced some of these symptoms, and many have felt that thristlike sensation which, somehow, is not alleviated by any amount of water or other beverage.
 It is practically the only vestige that remains in the human being, of the reaction of animals to lack of salt. Farmers know that dornes- tic cattle crave salt from time to time. Every one knows that deer find salt licks. Possibly this instinc- tive demand for salt still manifests itself in man occasionally, but If so, I know of no impressive instances Of course 1t is not the mere fond ness for excessively salted things that too many unwise persons cul- tivate, just as they cultivate fond- ness for other condiments with or on food-probably because the pre- paration and cooking of the food is SO bad.
 These symptoms or manifesto tions of salt deficiency occur, as rule, from loss of salt in the sweat. With or in each pint of sweat, whether 1t is "insensible" (that is, invisible-a sedentary person prob- ably excretes 8 pint of insensible sweat day, even when he or she imagines the skin is constantly dry) or dripping sweat which dampens the clothing and rolls of the body in drops (during strenuous muscu- lar work or play an adult may ex- crete two or three quarts of sweat in an hour) in every pint of sweat in any cirmumstance there is from Is grains to half a teasponful of salt.
 It is nearly as necessary to re- store to the cells and tissues the salt lost in this way as it is to restore the water. All of the symp- toms mentioned, especially the thirst like sensation that water or other so called thirst-quenching bev- craze fails to satisfy, may be most promptly relieved in any circum- stance by taking a suitable quantity of common salt =. say ten-grain tablet of salt dissolved in each large glassful of water or other beverage; 1; or a scant teaSpoonful of salt in each pint of the beverage or water.
 Way down south these symptoms or manifestations are sometimes ascribed to tropical langour," but the identical manifestations occur as often up north and in the win ter time.
