Warning comes from the chief OF
the United States Forest Service
that 30 per cent of the timber
cutting of today may be termed
obstructive" because of the great
haste of obtaining wood and lack
of education in good forest manage
ment. There is right way and a
wrong way of cutting trees.
Trees are vital resources and
should be so understood by the
public. We must become tree-con-
sclous, we must learn how to replace
trees as we'll as how to care for them.
When the Pilgrims landed there
were 1888 million acres of forest land.
This figure has been cut to els mil
lion acres. of which but 100 million
are publicly owned.
Today the utiliZa ton of wood for
the war is almost beyond our under
standing as it is being transformed
into so many things for so MANY
purposes. This is the time of the
year when forest fires take their
toll. 1t is imperative that we con-
serve every tree we now possess.

sons, but no harm had followed.
Yet Finlay said that other reasons
made him feel sure that mosquitoes
spread the disease.
Gorgas said Finlay's idea was in
terestlng but was without proof.
That proof came later.
Two doctors in Havana fell sick
with yellow fever and both of them
said they had been bitten before
hand by mosquitoes. DR.. James
Lazear had watched a MOSQUITO bite
him while in A hospital where yell
low fever patients were kept.
Lazear died of the fever. but be-
fore he passed away he said he was
sure the mosquito which had bitten
him was of the Stegomyia breed.
That was the same kind Finlay had
accused of spreading the disease.
Another doctor. Walter Reed OF
Virginia, now made very careful
tests. These tests proved beyond
doubt that the Stegomyia mosquito
could spread yellow fever. 1t was
necessary. however, for the biting
to take place during the first three
days a patient was i'll. or else later
bites would not harm other persons.
Also the mosquito needed 10 days,
or bit more, to develop yellow fever
germs in its own body.
Quickly Gorgas set to work. This
time he made war on mosquitoes
and their breeding places. Mud
puddles were dried up and soldiers
were sent TO every house in Havana.
Barrels with rain water were COW
cred with screens or netting. Peo-
pie no longer were allowed to keep
open jars Of water about their homes.
In that way Havana was really
cleaned up, and the yellow fever
epidemic was brought to an end.

OPA Explains Point System
Questions and Answers Make Clear
Cause, Method Of Food Rotionina

The Once Of Price Administra-
ton today released the following
questions and answers, explaining
point rationing for canned, bottled
and frozen fruits and vegetables
fruit and vegetable juices, dried
fruits and soups:
@. Why does the Government ra-
ton all Of the listed canned foods
together?
A. If only the canned foods that
are more scarce were rationed, con-
sumers would rush to buy the un-
rationed foods which could be used
instead. This would create short
ages of the alternate foods, which
would then have to be rationed after
the supply had been seriously de-
pleted.
@. What foods are included in the
new rationing program?
A. Canned, bottled and frozen
fruits and vegetables, fruit and
vegetable juices, dried fruits, and
all canned soups. These are known
as "proceSSed" foods.
@. Just what is a processed food?
A. A processed food is one that
has been preserved so that it will
keep as long as it stays in its proc
esSed condition. Canned foods, for
example. keep as long as they re-
main sealed; frozen foods as long
as they remain frozen.
@. Are jams, jellies and MARINA
lides included?
A. No. These are not generally
used INTERCHANGEABLE with canned
fruits.
Q. Why are foods that are not
used extensively included in the
rationing program?
A. To preserve for consumers as

In spending their ration points.
Q. Is evaporated milk included ir
the new rationing program?
A. No, canned milk is not being
rationed In this program.
Q. What do the numbers on tht
ration stamps mean?
A. The numbers on the stamps
g, S, 2 and u show how much thu
stamp is worth in points"
@. What Is q point?
A. A point is a ration value, much
as dollars and cents are money
values. Rationed foods have both
point and money values.
@. Why are the stamps Of differ.
ent colors?
A. The blue stamps will be used
for rationing processed foods; the
red stamps will be used later for
meat rationing.
Q. What do the letters on the
stamps mean?
A. The letters on the stamps will
be used by the OPA to designate the
time during which a stamp is valid.
For example, stamps lettered A, B
and c could be designated for use
during the first ration period.
@. Why is it necessary to give
different point values to different
kinds of processed foods? Why
can't they all have the same point
value?
A. Low point values will be given
to foods that are relatively plenti-
full; high point values to those that
are most scarce. The buyer can
get more for his points" by buying
the foods with low point value.
Since most housewives will no doubt
do this, it will relieve the demand
for very scarce foods.

Two persons were hurt and -four
