A NEW RECRUIT

Robert Walker is the newest
recruit. A radio actor of several
popular serials, he was discovered
by a talent scout earlier in the
year. and shipped westward TO
make his first film appearance
in this one.
He believes that he's destined TO
be success, because he's off TO
such a lucky start.
He is actually the thirteenth
grandson Of a Salt Lake City pio-
neer who had - sons. The num-
Der has always been his lucky
one and when he found that they
were going TO start shooting the
picture on March 13 and that the
story was about a patrol of 13
American soldiers, he knew he was
off on the right sound track.
OFF To WAR
This is the last picture for both
Robert Taylor and Desi Arnaz for
the duration. Taylor, who is in the
navy, leaves this month and Desi
has been indicted into the army,
leaving his wife. Lucille Ball, to
fill the family film commitments.
The picture has been directed by
Tay Garnett. who is probably the
most travelled director in Holly
wood.
In 1886 he went on a round-the-
world cruise, visited Japan and the
Philippines and the following
year. took his own boat to sail
through the islands of the South
Pacific.
These experiences stood him in
good stead when it came TO direct
ing "Baiaan" because he could
make sure that details in the film
were authentic.

SCIENCE FOLLOWS THE
STARS AND STRIPES

{ Science follows the flag. 1t is
following the Stars and Stripes to-
day into North Africa.
When representatives of t h e
Lend-Lease Administration discOv-
cred that 2,O00.000 sheep in North
Africa were heavily infested with
such pests as stomach. nOdular, and
other destructive worms. they ask
ed the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture what drug to use to control
them.
DR.. Benjamin Schwartz. parasitic
logist of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. with ample records made a
diagnosis and replied within three
hours. His answer. based on sew
eral years of experimentation thru
out the country, was that phenothi-
aZine was the most effective chemi-
cal compound known for the de-
structiOn of practically all internal
parasites except the tapewOrm.
Soon thereafter. adequate supplies
were on the way to a destination
somewhere in North Africa" to
help make the sheep more useful
for the allied armies and the civil
ian population there.
This was made possible because
normal peacetime Investigations.
followed by more recent accelerated
wartime research. has developed
this chemical control for internal
parasites in sheep and other live
stock. According to Du Pont chem
lists. phenOthiazine is serving the
same purpose throughout the live
stock areas of the United States. 1t
can be administered orally as a
drench. in powder mixed with salt
or in the feed. or as pellets.

PLEA FOR ADDITIONAL
OBSERVERS

Frank Johnson, chief of the OBJ
servation post at Omar, has high
praise and deep appreciation for
those loyal and faithful plane spot
ters who have sacrificed their own
time and meager gasoline supply in
order to man the post. AS farm
work is demanding so much time
and attention at present, any in this
area who are not now serving on
watch may help his neighbor and
himself by volunteering to take a
turn on watch. This is not dan
gerous service, but it is essential to
the safety of all. Each observation
post is Of major importance to the
safety of the Eastern seacoast.
