Great Inland
Waterway

nNE or the most picturesque
" regions on the North Ameri-
can Continent is the 50-mile
stretch of the st. Lawrence
River between Kingston and
Brockville, Ont Along this Sec
ton of the great inland water
way its blue-green waters are
studded with upward of LOO
beautiful islands which vary in
size from less than an acre TO
several square miles.
Separated by countless chan
nelS, these islands are clothed
with groves OF pine, oak, maple
and birch, which rise above
bluffs of granite and limestone
TO cast shadows Of deeper color
across the emerald waters. Ma
ture has undoubtedly created
here one of her masterpieces in
river landscape.
The Thousand Islands, as they
are called. are rich in history,
legend and romance. They were
favorite camping grounds for
the Iroquois and Mohawk In
dams, and some of the most stir
ring annals In the war Of 1872
have their locale there.
That Lost Channel
One of the most alluring
stories associated with the
island is that OF the Lost Chan
mel" referred TO by Fennimore
Cooper in The Pathfinder"
The story goes that in 1883
the British, under Lord Am
herst, on their way from Oswego
10 Montreal. were lured into il
by the French and were am
pushed They emerged victori-
Gus. however. although a small
boat with coxswain and crew
never found its way out, hence
: its name.
For many years The channel
was indeed lost, but about 80
years ago it was discovered from
old records.
Near the Lost Channel Is
"Fiddler's Elbow one OF the
most beautiful spots among the
islands. The name was given
because of the sharp turn in the
channel. but the more romantic
residents Of the district say that
on still moonlight nights the
faint sound Of a violin may be
heard. and among the trees
there can be seen on the point
the form of an old fiddler, once
a lighthouse keeper.

Intensive Offensive In '43

The middle of the year 1943 will find the United States and Great Britain ready for intensive offensive action. All present estimates and indications that at this time a turning point in the war will arrive
 Until the middle of 1943, however unless some un- toreseen action takes place, such the sinking o the Japanese Navy the United States and Britain will con- tinue fighting defensive At the present time industries not geared up for offensive war
 Today we are spending about one-ffth of our nation al income war The American industrial goal, as announced by President Roosevelt is war eXpendi- ture of $50000 000000 annually by the middle of 1943 this is one-half of our national income.
 The present problem of the Army is to build fight ing force of about 7000,000 men, This is big order and cannot be filled overnight It should be remember ed that in the present Army program to supply force of 1000 nearly one-fourth of this supply job is completed. Thus, to supply army nearly four times large present presents a very diff cult supply job
 In the Air Force today there are fewer than 500,- 900 men. The present plans being made to increase this air force four five times it's present size
 Our tWo-ocean navy which may be finished by 1914 will require naval personnel to be doubled to about 1000 000 The speed of production of naval vessels is far ahead of schedule and other measures being taken to increase the production rate
 The United States Merchant Marine program to produce l2000 ships will probably be at least doubled The of production of merchant ships at the pres ent time is more than day; this rate will be more than doubled before the end of 1922

Generals

Gallant MacArthur, the thorn in the s;de of the Japanese thrust possesses another honor that not usually known. As far as able to ascertain MacArthur is the only soldier in the United States Army who has twice held the rank of full general
 The rank of general has been very rare in American history. Even George Washington, general and com mander-in-chief of the original Continental Army from June 15 1775 to December 23 1783 did not hold the rank of general in the United States army Wash ington appointed lieutenant general and command er-in-chief of the young American army in 1798 An act of Congress passed the next year creating rank of general but history fails to reveal that the appointment ever made So we come down to the following and very limited list of generals of the United States Army:
 Ulysses s. Grant, Civil War; William T Sherman Civil War; Philip H. Sheridan Civil War John J. Pershing, World War; Tasker H. Bliss, World War Peyton C. March World War Charles P Summerall chief of staff Douglas Macarthur chief of staff Malin Craig chief of staff George C. Marshall chief of staff Douglas MacArthur commander-in-chef of the Asatic forces in World War No. H.
 Many notable soldiers are not that list due large Y to the fact that governmental regulations regarding army rankings have changed Now every chief of staff is temporary general until his term is expired but such situation has only existed since 1930 Missing from that list such officers at George Washington John Schofed, Nelson Miles Hunter Lggett Robert Bullard, Hugh A. Drum, Winfield Scott Phil Kearnev and many others.
 General MacArthurs father-Arthur MacArthur- was lieutenant general, and undoubtedly he would have held the rank of full general in this day and age
 We should also mention the fact that John L. Hines who was chief of staff major general just before the new law enacted making full generals of ofic- CTS in that position; was declared full general by a special act of Congress in 940 years after he retired
 But back to MacArthur Decorated for bravery many times in France he became the youngest chief of staff of the United States army through appointment by President Hoover President Roosevelt re-apponted hin-and then Manuel Quezon, president of the Phil ippnes asked if he could borrow him If history serves right, MT Quezon, Philippine rebel at the turn of the century surrendered to Gen. Arthur MacArthur, and the kid was right there with bar on his shoul- ders instead of four stars.
 Manuel Quezon said at that time--n 1935-that he feared Japan and liked the MacArthurs He certainly had the right idea.-Sheridan (Wyoming) Press.

Conversion Being Speeded

Radio set makers who could be reached indicated that rapid pro gress was being made in convert ing their plants to the full-time manufacture of war materials. It IS believed that all will be fully ready to undertake the new jobs when they are allocated.
 The entire plant of Freed-Eise- mann will be ready in less than ten days to go on full war pro- duction basis a representative said. A number of radio-engineer ing specialists, skilled testers and bench workers have been taken on in the past few days. Other set makers reported similar pre- parations.

No Curb on Retail Sales

WASHINGTON (Ao) - The gov ernment has made no move to freeze retail stocks of radio sets, and the WIPE said that sales would continue on a first come first served basis until available supplies were exhausted
The Nome nugget., 1942-04-06

WASHINGTON - Th w a r Production Board, headed by Donald M. Nelson, gave orders that the manufacture of radios and phonographs for civilian use be discontinued after April p so that the fifty-five manufacturers in the industry could devote their plants to war production, chiefly radio sending and receiving sets and airplane detection apparatus for the Army and Navy.
 In an earlier order civilian pro duction by large manufacturers was limited between Jan. 2S and April g to 55 percent of their production rate in the first nine months of l94l and that of small producers to 65 percent. The new order permits each manufactur- CT 10 complete sets begun before April 22 if he does not use more than $500 worth of materials, not including the cost of wooden cab inets. Continued manufacture of replacements parts is permitted, and this, the WIPE said, will make it possible to keep the bulk of existing home radios in effic- ient operating condition during the war.

1941 Employment 30,OO0

The order affects companies which in 194l employed about 30,G00 persons, produced more than 13,000,00O sets, and did a business of about $240, ,000, ,000 using 2100 tons of aluminium: l0,500 tons of copper; 280 tons of nickel and 10000 tons of steel. all critical materials.
 Robert Berner, chief of the WIPE radio section, said the or der would not result in unemploy ment for any appreciable period, but that employment would be greatly increased by the switch 10 militay production, with 95 percent of the switch to be com pleted before June 30.
 The 55 companies already have military orders aggregating $500. 100000, it was said, while an equal amount of such contracts is held by other radio companies not normally engaged in civilian production All except thirteen of the 55 companies affected by the order have begun participating in the military business.

SubcOntracting Plan Ready

The ordnance branch and the radio section of the consumers durable goods branch of the WIPE, to facilitate the conversion of the smaller companies. have worked out 8 subcontracting plan whereby each affected company which IS not a prime contractor will be assigned to a prime con tract holder, thus forming a ser ies of family production groups.
 The load of war production, it was stated. would be so evenly distributed that there would be work for every company which IS capable of performing the pre- else operations demanded by the Army and Navy.
 The WIPE estimated that pro- duction of home radios this year will be 3,0O0.0OO before produc- ton stops, increasing to about 6O,000,000 the number of home radios in the nation.

FOR
 ALA5kA AppLY
 FOR THEIR CARDS

SEATTLE, March 12-While many fishermen and cannery workers who go to Alaska each spring are checking in at the Captain of the Port office here to receive identi- fication cards, there are many yet who need them. .E,t
 Since these cards must be pro cured before sailing for Alaska, either on passenger ships or in fishing boats, a seasons fishing might be lost through delay, as 1t takes about a week for issuance of the cards. If a steamer is missed it might mean that the crew totals would be made up before the un- lucky fisherman or cannery work CT could reach the north country.
 The move to Alaska will start shortly; in fact, many men already have gene in to some of the dis tricts.
 The Identification cards are not required in the case of ordinary passenger travel to Alaska, but oth CT formalities must be compiled with, details of which can be learned at the steamship offices.

5CoUTS REPORT BIG MEMBERSHIP
 GAIN IN ALA5kA
New Territorial Admins frafion Is Largely
 Responsible

Reports issued by the Territorial Office of the Boy Scouts of America show gains in membership of 65 percent for Scouts and 83 percent for Cubs. as of January 31, 1922 as compared to figures for January 3I, 1941. The increase is largely due to the establishment during 1941 of a Territorial Administration of the Scouting Program for or ganization and training purposes.
 Scout advancement probably reached an all time high during February of this year with total of 99 awards made to Cubs, Scouts and Sea Scouts on the basis of re- ports from various parts of the Ter ritory so far received.
 Reports indicate that without :ex- ception, all Troops are actively par ticipating in short term camping and hiking activities.
 The war emergency is providing increased opportunity for unusual service projects in addition to the many emergency services regu- larly performed by Scouts and each Troop is assuming growing share of community projects as well as preparing themselves through par ticipation in the regular Scouting program and supplemental special ized training to meet any emer- gency that might arise.
 Most of the services which they have performed so far have been the collection of items such as magazines and books for the USO, paper or scrap items used for de- fense, or valuable information through surveys for civilian defense purposes. They have also distrib- uted important bulletins on the occasion of the Seward fire, the evacuation of families from Sitka, and are now distributing in various parts of the Territory, public health nutrition pamphlets.
 Many of the Troops have been assigned specific responsibilities in the civilian defense program, pri- marily as messengers or aides Spe- cialized training is being given Scouts in blackout First Aid, pre- pairing them to render First Aid in the dark or with only the help of lanterns or flashlights.

The most recent request by the government for Scout service has been in connection with the Food for Victory campaign involving gar dens grown by Scouts to increase local food supplies.
 This is not a new thing for Scouts. During the last war more than l2,000 war gardens and war farms were reported grown by the Scouts. Tn some cases as many as 200 and 300 acres were under cultivation.
