CHEVROLET CONSERVATION
AND ANCE

Designed to help assure mainten-
ance of the nations transportation
facilities through preservation of the
basically essential, and, in many in
stances, irreplaceable maintenance
tools and equipment in dealers SER
vice departments, a modern and COM
prehensive wartime tool conserva-
ton program of nationwide basis
has just been inaugurated by the
Chevrolet Motor Division of General
Motors. 1t is regarded as one Of the
most important and far reaching
moves made in the industry to keep
cars and trucks operating for the
duration.
"The ever increasing demand for
more and more service and repairs
as cars and trucks grow older re-
quires greater use than ever before
of all service tools and equipment"
said Ed Hedner, Chevrolet national
director of service, in announcing the
tool conservation program. eve con-

service departments most timely and
of utmost imortance," he continued.
"All such tools are valuable and es-
sential and with the number that
are now irrepaceable, neglect or
abuse could easily result in criti-
cal situation.
"Our tool conservation program
encomasses instructions to dealers
and mechanics on the proper use of
all equipment, correction of abuses,
overhauling, rebuilding, repairing,
lubricating, adjusting, painting and
inspection.

FARMERS PRESSED TO CUT
MORE WOOD

Three Federal agencies opened a
drive Jan. 10 to mobilize farmers for
woodcutting on farm woodlots and
for work in the pulpwood and lumber
industries during the slack agricul-
tural season.
Emergency war needs for "imme-
diate and greatly increased produc-
ton" of pulpwood and lumber were
cited by the War Production Board,
War Food Administration and War
Manpower Commission as the reason
for the pooling Of forces in the CAM
paign.
VIA called on state and county
war boards to encourage farm work.
ers to devote their spare time in the
winter and spring to work in the
woods and wood industries. The
boards have been asked to canvass all
farmers owning woodlots.
WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson
said that more than 1000 lumber
and pulpwood consuming mills soon
will receive complete information ON
the drive while VINO announced that
offices of the United States Employ
ment Service are ready to expedite
the transfer of workers from farms
into woods and mills.

Brighten Sharks

Natives who have had considera-
BILE experience with sharks do not
recommend that the amateur SWIM
mer should fight them off with
knives. If they attack, it is best to
make as much noise as possible to
brighten them away. Noise under
water can be made by clapping to-
gether stones, metal objects, or
sticks, or even by thrashing the
legs. But unless they attack, it is
best to remain quiet so as not to at
tract them. Also, clothing should
cover as much of the body as posi-
BILE, for they are attracted by white
flesh.
The most important thing for a
swimmer to remember about the
dreaded jellyfish, or Portuguese
Man-of-War, is that it's sting is not
death-dealing, but exceedingly pain
full, and one may experience feel
ing of impending suffocation. This
knowledge is of invaluable impor-
lance in keeping the swimmer from
losing his head and being overcome
by fear.

New Discoveries Mark
Southeast as Oil Area

Production of oil from two-nile-
deep well in the Florida Everglades
adds new page to a new chapter
of the romance of petroleum.
The new chapter concerns COM
mercial oil production in the Gulf
states east of the Mississippi river.
1t began late in 1899 with the open
ing of the first well in Mississippi,
near Yazoo City.
Biologists for years had been
aware that the oil-producing strata
of Arkansas and Louisiana are close
ly resembled in formation and age
by sections underlying Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Since 1899 additional Yazoo wells
have lifted Mississippi to large-scale
production. Florida's first well now
adds reality to the scientists vision
of an important southeastern petro-
leum field.
Harbinger of a new kind of Flor
ida boom, the man-made hole in the
swamp land northwest of Miami is
the first producing well, not in Flor
ida alone, but anywhere within ITO
miles of the nations Atlantic coast.
Florida, by becoming the 25th oil
well state, gives oil states a ma
tional majority.

Many Mountain Streams
Aid Chile's Identification

Chile's announcement of nation
al electrification project to be COM
pleted in IS years draws attention
to the country's favorable topo-
graphic situation with regard to wa
ter power development. Many riv-
ers are born on the lofty slopes Of
the Andes highlands, furrow swiftly
westward across the country to Pa
cific outlets, form a many-runged
water ladder with its top near the
Peruvian border and it's bottom
close to the Straits of Magellan.
Power from these rivers would
assure progressive industrial devel-
opment, conserve the domestic coal
reserves, and activate the country's
dormant resources.
Water, apart from it's conversion
into kilowatts, has greatly influenced
Chilean life. The sea rnodifies the
! extremes of climate, changes the
course of ships by the strong "set''
of the mighty Humboldt Current,
shapes plans and fortunes by its
winds and tides and fogs, is the
source of a stable fishing and whal-
! ing industry, and provides routes
for the shipment of strategic ma
terials. 1t gives Chile access to for
! eign sources for needed machinery,
! textiles and oil, and sustains valu-
/, able coastWise trade.

Oil Discoveries Drop

Behind growing concern over pos
sible exhaustion of oil reserves is
the steady decrease in the rate Of
new oil discoveries since 1886. Last
year, and in each Of five years pre-
ceding, the United States produced
roundly /, 400 million barrels az gal
Ions each) of a total world produc-
ton of about 2,10O million barrels.
So far, revised estimates of re-
serves in known fields plus new oil
discoveries have each year exceed
ed the national production, and have
raised known reserves to a 1943 level
of 10000 million barrels. New dis
coveries alone, however, have
dropped from a Acknowledgement
annual total of a decade ago to 800
million barrels in 1888, and to $50
million barrels in 1942-less than the
annual civilian consumption at the
current limited rate. Size of the av-
erage new discovery dropped from
20 million barrels in 1884, to II mil
lion barrels in 1888, and to IL in
1912.

SO. American Governments
Aid Cooperative Movement

Various American governments,
recognizing the values Of co-opera-
Itives in promoting national econo-
llmies, actively aid the movement.
colombia has special fund to help
the country's 1875 co-operatives, and
also provides them with technical
assistance. Peru has government
agency devoted exclusively to aid
ling co-operatives and the Peruvian
Agricultural bank extends 5 and To-
year credits to members. In Huan-
cana province 20 new co-operatives
are making a vital contribution to
the war effort by increased produc-
ton of quinine.
Venezuela has given direct aid to
more than 900 cooperative family
units engaged in agriculture, and
maintains a special school for train
ing specialists in co-operatives. The
country boasts of six producer CO.
operatives and 322 credit unions,
with over q, 446 members.
In 1941 Bolivia launched an elabo-
rate plan to promote cooperative
production of wheat, barley, cotton
and livestock by exempting cooper
lativesf from sales and business taxes;
reducing their national, state and
municipal taxes to so per cent of
normal; reducing freight schedules
by Is per cent for co-operatives and
by giving them preference in trans
portation and preference in the dis
tribution of rationed materials.
Ecuador likewise gives official aid
to co-operatives, and six Of these
have contributed materially to the
rehabilitation of devastated Ell Orc
province.

ScahbY Face

One way to prevent "scabby face"
INFECTIOUS dermatitis), skin in
lection usually beginning at the cor
ners of the mouth and extending
slowly over the face and body of
sucking pigs, is to move farrow-
ing houses from old, contaminated
lots to clean ground.
II may also be helpful to clip the
tusks of baby pigs to prevent them
from injuring each other, since such
wounds are often important sites of
entry for the infectious agent, says
the department of animal pathology
and hygiene, University of Illinois
college of agriculture.
If the disease does appear, some
of the affected pigs may be saved
by daily treatment with 8 per cent
creosol applied with medium-stiff
brush. However, this treatment
must start early, the department
warns.

Wheel Motions

There are two motions of a wheel
on moving vehicle-its rotation on
its axis and its motion forward. At
any given moment the highest point
and the lowest point of the circum-
ference are equal, one being as far
advanced as the other. If the wheel
moves forward one-fourth of revo-
luton, the top point has moved for
ward whole diameter more than
the bottom point because as the
wheel turns the top point moves for
ward while the bottom point moves
backward.
With respect to the center Of the
wheel all points rotate at exactly
the same speed-it could not be 9TH
erwise-but with respect to the road
the highest point of the wheel moves
forward twice as fast as the center
of the wheel and the lowest point
momentarily stops.

THOSE OLD FIRE HORSES

When they hear the old fire siren
blow,
Those old fire horses are rearing

No human being will ever know
Sad to state, but they have to make
way,
Those old fire horses, for another

For today, to take their places, are
fire motor cars.
They too, have to fade and die,
yes! just like other stars.
Those old fire horses.
The memory of those fiery steeds
Will linger. long with me indeed.
And gee, but it really does give me
a thrill
To see those horses .pensioned
roam at will.
Those old fire horses.
They come to the edge of the fence
Makes no dicerence of their age;
With ears alert they paw and
prance,
In all their gentle rage.
Those old fire horses.
Standing awaiting for that thrill,
At the blast of the siren shrill.

Brit ;shers Thought Early
US. Terrifying Experiment

The Britisher who visited the
United States during 1860 believed
the American male did little but spit
tobacco juice and race boats upon
the Mississippi at an inhuman speed,
according to Max Berger in a study,
1.-THE British Traveller in America" "
Thousands of Britishers came to
this country during this period in
much the same frame of mind as
Americans who now visit the Soviet
Union. Nearly $50 Of them published
accounts of their travels. They be-
lieved democracy a great and per-
haps terrifying experiment, and
America the systems chief expo
nent.
Adding to the basic alarm over
socio-economic differences were sur
prise at the quantity of tobacco con-
sumption and the habit many Amer
leans had of permitting servants to
sit at table with their masters. This
fraternizing between servant and
master seemingly Mortified the Brit
isher of Tory instincts much more
than finding slavery existing in the
southern states.
The English travellers accounts of
"the face of things" during the ear
ly 18th century showed that opinion
differed as to precisely why the
United States was prosperous. The
liberal Britisher declared: "The
democratic system is the answer f.
the greatest and most important
fact of the century" The conserva-
tive replied: They're rich because
of natural resources-they can't help
themselves"

Pruning Needed to Assure
Good Berries and Grapes

Red raspberries and grapes should
be pruned in the early spring before
growth starts, but after danger of
severe freezes and extremely low
temperatures is past. This system
Of pruning makes sure that dead
wood is removed yet offsets danger
of overpruning.
The old canes that bore raspber-
ries in the last growing season are
usually taken out when fruiting ends.
If they were left in the row over
winter they should be removed now.
The tops Of the raspberry canes
should be cut back to strong buds,
so the weak terminal buds, which
would bear poor fruit, are not al
lowed to grow. Pruning back the
tips also keeps the fruit-bearing LAT
eral branches supported on short,
sturdy canes that will not bend over
and fill the space between rows.
Grape vines need severe pruning.
Canes that grew last year produce
lateral shoots that bear the clusters
of grapes. AS the hundreds of buds
on an unpruned vine will all grow,
the many clusters Of grapes started
will be small and poor, and may
have only few grapes apiece. To
produce large clusters of good fruit,
part of the canes are pruned off.
Canes about the diameter of a
lead pencil are usually the best to
keep for fruiting buds. Weaker
canes and old wood should be cut
out. If good fruitful canes originate
near the trunk, save them, and cut
out the good canes that arise from
old wood some distance from the
trunk. This keeps the fruiting wood
from spreading farther out from the
trunk each year. To provide fruiting
canes for the next year leave few
canes near the trunk, cut back to
two buds.

Images Form ON Ewes

In several murder stories identifl-
cation of the criminal is alleged to
have resulted from a picture of the
killer formed on the retina of the
eye Of the victim.
Although it is highly improbable
that such retinal picture ever re-
vealed the identity of killer it is q
scientific fact, says the Better vi
sion institute, that experimentally
indistinct silhouette images may be
formed on the retina of dead ami
NAL. If the head of a rabbit, for
example, is kept in the dark for
some time and then placed carefully
in the light of window, rectangles
will be bleached on the retina of
the rabbits eye by the light coming
from the several panes, forming a
pattern of the window. Such a reti-
nal picture is known as an "opto-
gram"

Change Camouiiage

Army and navy painters charged
with the responsibility of maintain
ing the equipment of the armed
forces as inconspicuous to the en-
envy as possible have a busy time
keeping up with the changing phases
of nature, both in regard to the sea-
sons in fixed locations and in en-
countering the rapid changes in ter
rain which are found with amazing
rapidity in the worldwide transport
which is necessary in the present
war. There is no color or condition
of the earth's surface on land or
sea, which the modern camouhage
painter may not have to do his best
to match, and then perhaps change
the color scheme the next day to
match a different natural back
ground.
