out Of the fact that the rest Of

that his more than g year old stated

become so important that It de-

most Of our imports ant War Officialsl
he Farmers Of the us. did more|
than their share In the war effort
last year, in spite Of the shcrtaf Ell
Of help and equipment. The farms
were mace to produce way beyond anyI
thing that was ever accomplished
before. Congratulations were re-
ce1ved from all over the world in
ers backing up the front line.
Even a greater effort is called
for during the coming year and It
must be done. Some conditions will
be more diff1 cult for the Farmer,
but, in some cases arrangements
have been made that will be more
favorable, but the fact renal ms
that the older people, supported byI
the women and chi1dren will have toi
help to q greater extent than ever |
before.

this means q higher price for the

that life is not easy or simple in
this Northern Cline, and 50 far we
have been learning the HARD Way and
It looks like we have hard row to
hoe for ONE time to come. This is
no place for q tender-footed Chez
chako, yet.
Now, while we have many natural
obst c1es to overc ONE, we also have
some artificial ones too, those
that we have made for ourselves, SO
far, We believe, the barriers that
we have erected to stop the sure
and orderly development Of the Mat
anuska Valley has been greater than
the natural BARRIERS, and It must
be recognized and the problem met
fairly and sQAarely.
The solution %f this problem must
be made by the People in the Valley
It can't be solved any other way.
And, before We can expect to accom-
lish the task set befo ore us, we
must meet this problem. The Editor
feels that he knows what is wrong

STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKERS
By Ruth Current
N, G. State College

Here's little question on washing
a refrigerator that has bothered
more than one beginner at house
keeping. "When the directions for
cleaning a refrigerator or an ice
box call for washing with warm
water and soda, does this mean wash
ing soda or baking soda?"
The answer is baking soda or
sodium bicarbonate, as it is some
times called. Use one level table,
spoonful to each quart Of warm wa
ter. Washing soda is too strong,
both for the finish of the refrigerat-
tor and for your hands. When you
defrost mechanical refrigerator, it
is a good time to clean it. After
the frost is all melted, take every
thing out, including the shelves.
Empty the drip tray.
Make the soda solution and wash
both the inside and the outside of
the evaporator or freezing unit. Be
sure to get all the surfaces free of
melted frost.
Clean every part of the inside Of
the refrigerator in the same thor
ough way. Clean all the shelves.
fruit baskets, and the vegetable
crisper. Never use harsh, scratchy
cleaning powers on the ice cube
trays, or on the rubber gasket. You
can wash these thoroughly with soap
and water. Rinse, and wipe dry. If
anything spills on the gasket, wipe it
off at once. Take care not to scratch
or scuff the rubber.
After you finish cleaning, turn
the control back to normal. Fill
the ice cube trays to within a quar-
ter of an inch of the top with fresh
cold water. See that all food con-
tainers are clean and dry as you re-
turn them to the shelves. Work
fast to keep the refrigerator as cold
as possible.

Jap Targets in Burma
Damaged in Series
OF Allied Air Raids
BY the Associated Fress.

- BY tnS hSSCCldlcQ EiESS.
NEW DELHI, July 30-American
and British bombers and fighter
planes staged successful attacks on
japanese targets in Central and
Western Burma yesterday, blasting
bridges, railways, factory installa-
tons and shipping without the loss
of single plane, United States and
British communicates said today.
Bombers of the 10th United States
Air Force wrecked the important
bridge over the My River, Is miles
west of Mandalay, blasting the east
and west spans to the bottom of
the river and severely damaging
the center span. Destruction of
this bridge will delay rail traffic
between MonyWa and towns in the
north between the Chindwin and
Irrawaddy Rivers.
An enemy-operated factory and
railroad installations at Tangon
we're blasted out of existence and
violent bomb explosions left fires,
smoke from which rose 5000 feet.
Mills Were Blasted.
Mills at Myingyan. southeast of
Mandalay, also were damaged by
direct hits
P-40 fighters and bombers at
tackled Dawaw in Northern Burma.
but clouds prevented accurate OBJ
servation of the resulting damage.
On Wednesday near hits were
scored on 300-foot ship near Port
Blair in the Andaman Islands by
American heavy bombers.
British bombers roamed over the
Mayu Peninsula in Western Burma
blasting japanese monsoon quarters,
while their fighter patrols were &C
tive over the middle IrraWaddy and
kalemyo areas.
The Blenheims scored a perfect
hit on monsoon buildings at Hparab-
yin, the bombs tracing a straight
line across the target, but elsewhere
cloud formations prevented pilots
