ARMY OFFERS new |
ANTI-LICE WEAPON
By FRANK CAREY
Press Science Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. - The
armed forces disclosed today they
have new and powerful chemical
weapon against body lice, the car
riers of typhus fever and a dread
ed felloW-traveller in almost eve
ry military campaign in history.
Moreover, the anti-louse chemi-
cal, in experimental tests, render
ed a room destructive to house
flies for period of three months,
and proved highly effe tiv e
against a variety of other pests
which plague man, beast and
plant-thus offering wide possibili-
ties for postwar use.
All production of the chemical
called 'DDT'-now is limited to
army and navy uses, except for
laboratory experiments.
Army medical department
scientists declare the material -
used for the first time on a mass
scale in the North African cam.
paign-has proved more effective
against body lice than any insecti-
eide previously employed. It is
used in the form Of powder, and
single application to clothing
provides anti-louse protection for
a month.
Researchers of the agriculture
department tried it against flies.
They said single application tc
the walls rendered room lethal
to flies for three months.
And they reported the materia,
apparently is effective against
more different pests than any 9th
err insecticide of its particular
chemical class. They've employed
it successfully against 40 to 81
different pests from japanese bee
ties to bed bugs, and from live
stock lice to termites.
The army's medical department
put some of its outstanding men t.
work on the chemical in 1912
Trained personnel of other gov
eminent organizations and com
mercial laboratories assisted.
When the true insect-killins
properties of the material began t,
unfold, high medical department
officials bent every effort to ge
it into quantity production.
A synthetic compound known
scientifically by the ten-dollal
name of MISUNDERSTANDING
roethane, the chemical is prepared
from choral hydrate-a sedativ,
and mono chlorbenzene, in tn,
presence of sulphuric acid.

WACs May Attend Technical Schools Now

Plans for the training of Mem bers of the Women's Army Corps assigned to the Army Air Forces in technical schools of the Army Air Forces in technical schools of the Army Air Forces Training Command were announced at the Command headquarters in Ft Worth, Texas.
 Women chosen for the courses will go to Chanute Field, Ill.,, or Lowry Field, Colo, for the same courses now given to enlisted men in certain specified subjects.
 To attend the schools, Air WACs must be recommended by their sta- tion Commanding Officers. This recommendation will be based upon experience, previous training, dem- onstrated ability and tests.
 At Chanute Field courses open to selected Air WACs will include op- orator and mechanic for celestial navigation trainers, which are de-

vices to aid the teaching of naviga- tion by sun and stars; control tow CT operator, cryptographer, para chute rigger, and weather observer and forecaster.
 At Lowry Field, Colo, courses will be given for armorers, camera technicians, administrative and SUD- ply clerks, administrative inspec- tors clerks, bombsight mechanics, photographers and photo lab tech- nicians.
 Previously Air WACs working in these specialties received only "on- the-job training" except in photo graphy where they have been ad- mitted to certain classes at Lowry Field for the past several weeks. Length of the courses varies from three weeks for cryptography to twenty weeks for bombsight mechanics and twenty-two weeks for weather forecasters.
 The program followed study of the jobs to which enlisted Air WACs of the command were cur rently assigned and the military occupational specialties listed in re- quisitions for personnel.

From the Great Lakes (Ill.) Ma val Training Station Bulletin" we swipe the story of two fleas who fell in love and got married.
 Young, industrious and ambi- tious, the feas worked hard and saved their money. They sacrificed fun to assure the future. One day they counted their money and were overjoyed to find they'd saved $5.
 If we can save five, we can save ten!" they agreed, so they conti- nued their thrift. They toiled, eco- nomized and planned-spurning the frivolous pleasures of other fleas. Finally came the day when their savings totalled $10.
 That day they went out and bought their own dog!

T/SGT. MAXWELL DUBIN

The newly organized 9Srd Band was heard for the first time in con- junction with the USO-CAMP show which was staged last Monday, A January 1944 at 1900 hours in the Special Service Building. Led by S/Sgt. Harry o. Dodd, guitarist and vocalist and including Sgt. Jack Hooper, pianist; Pfc. James Mc- Nulty, alto-sax; and Pfc. Jack J.. Whalen, drummer, the musicians gave an excellent account of them selves. They added that night club atmosphere" to an already season ed troupe. Over 250 persons at tended a grand performance which proved to be an immediate hit.
 A belated, but interesting, note concerns the antics of Pvt. J. C.. Vellozzi, whose nightmares have entertained the men of Barracks T-1021. With a cry of Geronimo" !" this nocturnal paratrooper balls out of his bed, landing on the floor with a resounding and earth-shaking thud!!

 Sincerest sympathy to Pfc. John Mattison for the loss of his bro- ther in action. The service flag which hangs in the parlor window of his home, has had three of its five BLUE STARS changed to GOLD.

By the way, during the show ing of Sinatra's film Higher and Higher" at the Base movies, dur ing the "ahs and chs" and screams and yells, it seemed like the GIs were swooning and the WACs were bringing them back to life!

will do any permanent harm to the
youth of America is a subject
which is being constantly debated
in educational circles.
Some school teachers maintain
that it is perfectly natural and
harmless. They point out that
playing soldier" has always been
a favorite occupation of boys and
the present activities are just a
modernized version at a somewhat
increased tempo.
But a principal of a grammar
school, who has been studying the
situation closely, both in his own
school and other schools in his
state, told me that he has almost
daily evidence to show how these
games" are breeding trouble. He
told me of cases where neighbor-
hood gangs-gangs of five to ten
year olds-will, after playing war
for awhile decide to invade a back
yard down the street and capture
or seriously beat up the youngster
who is innocently holding that pill
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-10-20

box. He said that since the war,
he has had more complaints than
ever before from mothers who say
their child was pounced upon 60
ing to or from school.
He thinks there is no doubt
about the fact that the war spirit
in youngsters is being expressed
in unfair and unsportsmanlike acts
and will definitely harm their
characters unless drastic steps are
taken, both at home and in schools
to counteract them.
LESSON rules
l can see the difficulty, in our
school systems, of trying to teach
children about "our friends and
neighbors across the seas" when
they are reading and hearing about
the fiendish acts committed by
some of those neighbors. It's a
hard thing too to teach boys not
to fight among themselves when,
ever since they were born, they
have been kept constantly aware
of fighting on a gigantic scale.
But rather than avoid the sub
ject of war in the schools, it seems
quite possible that war can be used
to teach children the basic ingre-
dients of a peaceful life. 1t can
easily be demonstrated to children
that their fathers and brothers are
fighting the Japs and Nazis be-
cause these nations were poor
sports and wouldn't stick to the
rules. They can be shown that
the Nazis are being punished for
having tried to pick on some little
nations that weren't their size,
that the United States won't stand
for gangster methods between ma
tions any more than 1t will at
home. And they can be educated
to understand that unfair and un-
sportsmanlike acts among school
children can't be tolerated any
more than can such acts among
the family of nations.
1t seems to me that the present
war offers fine opportunity to
teach children the consequences of
poor sportsmanship - to use the
Japs and Nazis as glowing exam
pies of what happens to nations
or individuals who break rules.

bombing" anything In sight is a
thrilling pastime.
Even before he is old enough to
read the newspapers, boy of to-
day gets a thorough education in
warfare. He listens to radio pro-
grams teeming with stories of bat
tie, of bombings and of killing. He
learns before he has any idea what
a Jap or a Nazi might be, that
those names are the symbol of
things to hate. He looks through
so-called comic books and again
gets the story cf war, with pic
lures. He learns that villainous
looking characters are Japs and
Nazis. And he then goes out with
toy gun or stick in hand, to shoot
up the neighborhood and murder
the miniature Nazi" next door
who broke his drum, or to knife
the Jap" who refused to give him
a piece of candy.
