addressed to the Chairman of the
County Board of Elections of the
applicants home county or to the
Secretary of State. That appli-
cation must be in writing. 1t

States Government, addressed to
the Secretary of State, (who will
forward it to the Chairman, of
the proper county board), is a
sufficient application for regis
tration and for primary and gen.
eral election ballots, and is just
as good as one made to the Chair

tons, it was explained.

Another Spring

The long-awaited spring of 1944-the
season which many have predicted would
be the beginning of the end of the war in
Europe-has finally arrived. AS we wait
impatiently but fearfully for news from
those battles which will be the turning
point of the war, we feel the sharp contrast
between this glorious season and the work
of destruction which occupies most of the
world.
The earth is full again with promise;
the rains and sun gently contribute to her
bearing season. And the awe we human
beings feel at this rebirth is in nowise les
sened by it's repetition or by circumstances.
Each year is like a separate life to all of us,
embodying the periods of a real lifetime,
and in the experience of the current one we
forget the intensity of the years that have
gone before, so that each new season is ex-
perienced as if for the first time.
Even in this world of war and destruc-
ton we cannot help the feeling of JOY which
comes over us at this new spring season.
and we should not. For it is positive ex-
perience, a renewing of the life forces, and
it should be lived to the full Spring will
still come when the pain and sadness Of
this time in our lives have long faded into
the past. It gives strength to us to know
that spring will always come to erase the
hardships of winter from the earth and
from our hearts.

Pull pwood And Farming

While everyone knows that the farmer
for the next several months will be busy
planting and tending his 1914 crops, some
of us may overlook the fact that pulpwood
is an important farm crop, just as neces-
sary to the war effort as many field crops.
The Department Of Agriculture recog-
nized this even before the war. In 1888 it
published pamphlet on Forest Farming,
which had this to say of pulpwood cutting
on farm woodlands:
''When the modern farmer talks of
crops, he includes his timber CROP His
farm woods yield him cash income . d. For
est farming is recognized as an important
part of agriculture that has been too long
neglected :. No farmer can afford to pay
taxes on idle land Timber is farm crop.
It can be made paying farm crop"
Since 1888 the vital needs of our armed
services and war industries for pulpwood
have overshadowed the farmers self-inter-
est. There is now patriotic as we'll as a

Chaplains And Service

A call has been issued for 500 more
chaplains Since several young ministers
from this section have already answered
the call for service in this field, our people
are more interested in what the chaplains
are doing and where they are.
Chaplains are ministers to men in serv-
ice, just as pastor is to his charge, here on
the homefront. And wherever the men 60,
there the chaplain goes, also. The chap
lains do not fight, but they are on the bat
tlefields and do get killed in battles
According to statistics released by the
government, only the air forces and the
infantry have suffered a higher proper
ton of casualties among their officers than
the chaplain corps From the beginning
of the war to the end of last year, 10 chap
lains were killed in battle, 10 wounded, 33
were prisoners, one missing in action and
81 had died of accidents or Illness
According to the report, the decorations
in the corps were evidence, too, that failure
to shoot had nothing to do with heroism A
total of IS chaplains received three Dis
&c silver stars, IS Legion of Merit, 80 Pur-
pie Hearts and four Soldier Medals, or 80
decorations, all told.
At the end of the past year, records show
that there were 6,998 chaplains, 1926 in the
United States and 2,743 overseas. Chap
lain BRIG. GEN. William R. Arnold, chief
of the corps, reported that for 1913, each of
these men conducted an average of 1914 re-
igious services per month"; made 141 visits
to hospitals and guardhouses and handled
1885 such occasions as personal counsel,
welfare problems, and talks in day rooms
and service clubs.
The chaplains' activities also included
such things as the preparation of special
Hymns From Home" folders, which were
inserted in emergency ration kits, making
a training film, For God and Country,
preparing band arrangements of hymns,
preaching occasionally in civilian churches
and visiting USO centers.

Help Crippled Children

AS the Easter season approaches it is
particularly fitting that we aid less FORUM
ate children, for Christ was deeply interest
ed in all children.
Funds are now being raised through the
sale of Easter Seals, to aid all less FORUM
ate children who are crippled through some
other cause aside from infantile paralysis
If you have an opportunity to make
contribution to this worthwhile cause, do
so for it is through such contributions that
many children have been given the oppor
tunity to walk again.

Rites Arranged Today Problem Of Troops
For August Busck, IA, Chief Finn-Russian
Expert on Butterflies Obstacle 10 Peace

Private funeral services for August
Busck. IA, internationally known
scientist who died Tuesday at his
home, 217 Rock Greek Church road
NV, will be held at pm. today
in the Deal funeral home. Burial
also will be private.
An authority on microlepidoptera,
Mr. Busck had served with the
Agriculture Department., division of
insects of the National Museum, for
the last 35 years. He was the author
of numerous papers on small moths
and butterflies.
Among the many scientific expe-
ditions in which he took part were
the first thorough investigation of
Puerto Rican fish made by the
United States Fish Commission in
1899, during which he studied the
islands insects; two trips to Ha-
wau, in one of which he worked
at the Bishop Museum on a Yale
University fellowship, and several
trips to Europe, where he assisted
the late Lord Walsinham in his
book, "Biologia Centralia Amer
icana."
Other studies included the insects
of Panama during the construction
of the Panama Canal, and the pink
boil worm in Mexico. Mr.. Busck was
the first to describe an insect pest,
a small moth known as Lespeyresia
Molesta Busck, which was brought
into this country with japanese
cherry trees.
Retiring from Government serv-
ice in 1910, Mr.. Busck returned to
the National Museum a year ago be-
cause of the pressure of work caused
by the war.
A native of Randers, Denmark, he
was graduate of Ordrup College
and Royal University in that coun-
try. He was married in New York
in 1895 to the former Miss Vile
Christensen.
Mr.. BuSck was a member of the
American Society of Sciences, the
District Biological Society and a
former president OF the Entomologi-
cal Society of Washington.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by a daughter, Miss Gerda Katy
Busck, Navy nurse stationed in San
Francisco, Calf, and two sons,
Comdr. Wilhelm Klein Busck, Navy,
on duty in the South Pacific, and

LONDON, Mar. 9.-Soviet de-
mands that Finland withdraw her
troops to the 1910 Russian Finnish
border and intern all German troops
now in Finland appeared today to
be the chief stumbling block barring
the path of peace between the two
nations.
British press dispatches from
Stockholm last night said the Firms
had advised Moscow they were ready
to accept most of the conditions i'm
posed by the Russians as prerequi-
site of further peace negotiations,
but that they could not accede to
these two demands.
The Finnish note, however, was
described as conciliatory and ap-
parently left the door open for fur
ther exchanges.
The Firms were said to have taken
the stand that compliance with the
demands to which they took excep-
ton probably would result in a re-
volt Of Finnish pro-German ele-
ments and hostilities within Fin
land between the Firms and Ger
mans.
Hope to Avert Incident.
On the other hand, it was said,
the Firms explained that if negotia-
tions were pressed to a satisfactory
conclusion and peace treaty were
signed, it would be possible to ease

Russian demands that they cede
to the Soviet Union the Arctic port
of Petsamo and their northern
nickel mines, the Daily Mail said.
Willing to Release Prisoners.
The Firms also were said to have
expressed their readiness to release
all Russian war prisoners.
Swedish advices said the Finnish
reply had been delivered to Moscow
via Stockholm Tuesday after being
prepared for delivery last Friday
and then held up, presumably for
revision.
Russia, however, remained silent
on the situation and an Associated
Press dispatch from Moscow early
today said no further information

the German troops out of Finland
and withdraw Finnish forces to The
old border without incident. It Is
estimated there are about seven
German divisions in Finland.
GA Berlin broadcast recorded
last night by CHS quoted a Ger
man commentator as saying that
only military force could dislodge
the Nazi forces from Finland. He
recalled what the Germans had
done in Italy and added: 'Inde-
pendent of anything the Finnish
government does, the German
troops are in Finland to defend
Finnish territorial integrity.~
The Daily Mail quoted Stockholm
advices as saying that the Finnish
note to Moscow had disclosed that
Russia had asked Finland to pro-
vide workers for rebuilding Lenin-
grad after the war.
The Firms agreed to this and to
Evening star., 1944-03-09

had appeared there concerning the
armistice negotiations.
The dispatch indicated the Rus
slams regarded their proposals as
generous, that they were losing pa
tience over Finland's failure to
accept them and that the situation
could be expected to come to a head
shortly.

Proper Handling Assures
Good Homemade Milk

Milk Of good flavor and quality
from the family COW may be pro-
duced in the home, If it is properly
handled, say extension dairymen.
First, they suggest that the milk
be kept in standard glass milk bot
ties in the refrigerator or in bucket
or tub Of cool water, where refrig-
Grafton is not available.
Just after milking, they suggest
that the producer pour the milk
through three or four folds Of good
grade of cheese cloth. A small tin
funnel can then be used for getting
the milk into the bottles. 1t should
then be capped with standard bottle
caps.
For cooling the milk, the bottles
can now be placed in a tub of cold
water, for it cools more rapidly in
this way than if put directly into
the refrigerator. Where no refrig-
GRAFTON is available, they advise
changing the water in the tub sew
eral times daily until the milk is
used.
After the milk has stood for about
IL hours, the cream can be removed
from the bottles by using a glass
siphon tube. This cream may be
saved for table use or allowed to
sour for butter making. Two quarts
Of such cream will make about
one pound Of butter.
