ty work this year has been very
gratifying and has been greatly ex-
tended" said Ernest p. Davis.
director OF the clubs safety and
traffic division. In = society upset
and nervous because of war activi-
ties-at a time when ordinary
merican courtesies are taking
terrific beating through disuse anc
thoughtlessness-it is good to know
that our schools are trying TO keep
alive the principles OF safety that
will face their supreme test when
peace comes.
Reports to my Office do not show
any alarming increase in traffic &C
cidents among the lower age
groups, as might be expected when
parents are forced to relax some
what their supervision because In
many instances both parents are
active in war PRODUCTION. The
schools must be given much credit
for this condition. We must. how
ever, be prepared and vigilant for
the day when wartime restrictions
are removed from travel and traffic
hazards will OF necessity become
greatly multiplied. Our hope OF
avoiding heartless losses OF life and
limb lies in training our children
in good safety habits"

AS illustrated, barrel hoops, or
curved wires can be used as sup
ports for these protectors. Such
supports should be placed at right
angles TO each other, as illustrat-
ed. Cheesecloth can then be fitted
over them. leaving the lower
edges long enough to permit
spreading out on the ground where
the cloth can be held in place with
stones.
Plant protectors should remain
over the plants until the latter
grow TO the tops of the covers.
Then each protector can be slit
two ways. allowing the plant to
emerge and continue growing. The
soil under a protector will be
found to remain soft and friable
and easy to cultivate.

 Power Ebbs
BY DON CASWELL

United Press War Correspondent
 Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, June 27- (UP) -Japan's aerial power, hammered necessarily by Allied aircraft, virtually has dis appeared from New Guinea and only a handful of Japanese planes was reported still operating today in the northwestern section.
 We chased them out of western New Guinea and they stayed chased" 8 spokesman at Gen. Mac Arthurs headquarters said in re- porting that enemy airdromes at Manckwari, Babo and other loca- tions practically were deserted.
 His statement followed a com- munique which said Liberator bombers pounded Kamiri and Kor- nasoren airdromeS on Noemfoor Is- land, northwest of Biak, Sunday with 80 tons of bombs, setting off explosions and starting fires among gun positions and Bivoucas areas.
 Pilots who took part in the raids said Kamiri airdrome already was imperative and that Kornasoren was knocked out in the last attack.
 Liberators from the southwest Pacific also raided Palau and Truk in the Carolines again Saturday night, the communique said, and started fires at both targets. It was the 23rd raid on Truk this month.

HooverOkoys COP Stond

Chicago, June 27.-UP)-Former President Herbert Hoover, arriv- ing to attend the Republican con- vention, said today the Republican platform, "so far as have seen 1t, is in the right direction and ad- mitted he had been in contact with the leading candidate for the Re- publican nomination, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York.
 Hoover said he believed the Re- publican convention had develop ed very good prospects" as to plat form and possible candidates for the November election. He re- fused to comment, however, on Wendell L. Willkie's attack on the proposed foreign policy plank of the Republican platform.
 Asked if he had been in com munication with Governor Dewey, Hoover replied:
 Naturally"
 Hoover said he thought the key note address delivered by Gov. Earl Warren of California last night was ia great speech"
 Asked whether he was satisfied with the platform and possible can didates to the extent of supporting them in the election, he smiled and said T think that is natural as- sumption"
 we are going to stay in the fight" he added.

Rescuers Seek Plane

Millinocket, Me, June 27-(PU- An eight-man Army rescue crew was hacking its way through the last mile of trackless wilderness on Fort Mountain today and hoped by nightfall to reach a cargo plane thta crashed near the summit eight days ago with seven men aboard.
 A spokesman for the searching party said that there was little hope that any of the planes occupants were alive.
 Supplies were dropped to the res- cuers on the rugged, 4,000-foot peak this morning by a Catalina patrol bomber that was unable to contact the party previously because of heavy rains and low-lying clouds.
 Led by Capt. E. E. Goodale of Hamilton, Mass, the searching party had been forced to cut vir- tually every foot of the way through the heavy undergrowth that covers the mountain. An Army spokesman believed the peak never before had been scaled. He said that its sides consisted of rocky cliffs and soggy, moSs-covered gullies.
 The plane. which crashed after successfully crossing the Atlantic ocean enroute to Washington, was believed to rest in trees about 50 feet from the summit. No life had been seen near it by Army planes that spotted the wreckage last week.
