SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. FL
-lP)-Because servicemen wait
ing for discharge are frequent
ly not properly cared for Mayor
Earl J. Glade of Salt Lake City
has asked New York's Mayor
F. II. LaGuardia TO lend his
support TO getting veterans back
to their homes.
In a letter to La Guarda, who
is president of the United States
Conference Of Mayors, Glade
said:
With the war over and its
natural apprehensions out of the
way, we now have different
type of servicemen on our hands.
The problem of giving something
constructive to do is, admittedly,
a difficult one. He is therefore,
i'll at ease just hanging around;
he is anxious to 60 home.
"Inhibitions, with which he
has undoubtedly been reared, as
a rule, cannot function normally
as he is away from home and
away from social restraints his
family and friends in his own
town provide.
Glade called on LaGuardia to
take up the matter with Presi-
dent Truman and Congress.

The 139-year-old history of gas
as a utility, from the first expert
mental street lights in England

poses of l945, was unfolded for

into Michigan.
Lions vice president George
Mccoy presided at the meeting.
The speaker told how gas was
first discovered by Brussels
chemist in 1909 while he was
melting down coal. and its de-
velopment first reached the COM
mercial stage when a few street
lights were tried out in England.
MET OPPOSITION
At that time "soap-box ora
tors and religious fanatics de-
nounced the artificial lighting,
claiming that God had created
day and night and it was fly
ing in the fact of Providence to
illuminate the night hours. They
predicted dire results, with a
grave increase in crime and i'm
morality and sleepy, night
walking population.
However, the growing indus
try thrived despite criticism,

History Of Gas Is Traced
from Its Origin in 1909

into the United States at Balti-
more, and in New York in 1923.
BY 1881, gas manufacture had
been started in Detroit and from
that time up to the present serv-
ice has been uninterrupted. To-
day scores of thousands of homes
in Michigan depend on. gas for
cooking, heating and refrigera-
ton.
GIGANTIC PIPELINE
The most important innova-
ton during this 94-year period
took place in 1896, when natural
gas from the Texas Panhandle
was piped into Detroit to hun
dreds of cities along the route.
The pipeline, costing $85, 900, 900
is the longest ever constructed
for gas distribution, running
from near Amarillo to Detroit.
The consolidated company has
contracted for 100000 cubic
feet of gas per day, and still
maintains manufacturing of arti-
fetal gas to provide against a
supply emergency.
Such emergency supplies are
kept in large tanks in Detroit,
the most familiar being that st
the City Airport, which holds
100000 cubic feet when full.
The company can produce U.s.
100000 cubic feet of gas at their
Detroit area plants.
Manager Clark, of Consumers
Power, spoke briefly at the
meeting, stating that since 1912
his concern has been supplying
natural gas to the Mount Glenn
ems area.
DR.. Philip T. Mulligan, until
recently an AAF flight surgeon
overseas, resumed his place at
Thursdays club meeting. A
group of Lions will attend a

 It was the Germans who first started talking about "secret weap- ons" in this war-and the Nazis actually produced a few, like the "buzz bombs" which caused con- siderable damage and casualties in southeastern England.
 But a really great secret weapon has been developed by the Ameri- can government and used on a wide scale by the American Army. And, unlike the "buzz bomb," it is con- structive rather than destructive. Where the "buzz bomb" has killed men, women and children in the thousands, the weapon developed by U. s. government experts has saved human lives in the millions, and, while it has also killed in the millions, it's only victims were dis ease carrying insects.
 The American secret weapon is an insecticide-known simply hy the letters DOT. Here's what Gen. James s. Simmons, of the U. s. Army Surgeon Generals Office, says of it: "DDT constitutes the most valuable single contribution of our wartime medical research to the future health and welfare, not only of this nation, but of the world"
 DOT is a "secret" weapon only in that it's potentialities were prac- tically unknown until 1942 when extensive tests were conducted by U. s. Department of Agriculture experts of the Bureau of Entromo- logy and Plant Quarantine, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institute of Health. Actually, it was discovered by a German student named Zeidler, in 1874. But, for years, like thousands of others synthesized at universit- ies, it remained on the shelves as just another compound until Swiss firm, in it's search for mat erials to render woolens mothproof discovered it's insecticidal value. Later, the Swiss Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station showed it to have merit in combating certain agricul- tral pests and in killing houseflies.
 The tests conducted at Orlando, Fla, by U. s. government experts were primarily for the purpose of determining whether the powerful

Home on Furlough, Captures 2 Krauts

Ogden, Utah (CNS)-After B months overseas, Sgt. Jesse Combe, 26, came home to Utah to enjoy a well-earned furlough. Almost the first thing he did, however, was to capture 2 German soldiers who had escaped from a nearby prisoner-of- war camp. It wasn't very tough since the Germans knocked at his door and gave themselves up.

 Millions of Insects

insecticide could be used with saf- ety to humans and animals, since it appeared to be nerve poison. Extensive pathological tests, how ever, failed to demonstrate any toxic effects from the use of a powder composed of 109o DOT and 9O% of a neutral carrier, and as result, it was accepted for general military use.
 Let's imagine it is D-Day for our men lying off some Jap-held Pa cific island. A fleet of our bom- bers drop no bombs. Instead they spray it with an almost invisible discharge of DOT in oil. In mat ter of few hours practically ev- cry mosquito on the island is dead. And for several days, while we are establishing a beachhead and set ting up other control measures, we don't have to worry about malaria or dengue.
 One of the most remarkable qua lities of DOT is it's persistence. When applied to wood or canvas, it's killing effect lasts for several months. A 5eo solution of DOT in refined kerosene applied as spray to infested beds and mattresses not only will kill all bed bugs actually struck, but will kill any of the bugs coming in contact with the surfaces for or 8 months.
 The entire output of DOT, more than 2,OOO,OOO pounds month, cur rently is going to the armed forces. But when the war ends, the boon to housewives and farmers will be incalculable. It is without peer as an insecticide and can be applied in a wide variety of ways against practically all of our common in- sect enemies and pests.

By M/SGT. KEN MILLER

Three talented young men at
Camp Davis are performing jobs
entirely foreign to the popular con-
ception of Army duty. They are in
terror decorators really, but pre-
fer to be known as interior design
ers.
The three, S-Sgt. L. R. Wagner of
Chicago and Pics. Abraham Wins
ky and Robert F. Flynn of New
York, have been planning the in.
teriors for guest house at the camp
and beach facilities at Sears Land
ing. The latter include a night club
complete with ''bar'', Service clubs
and cabanas. AS matter of fact
no job is too great for the trio.
With the exception of Pfc. Vilin-
sky, the interior designers we're in
the same business in civilian life.
Sergeant Wagner did interiors in
Chicago and st. Louis and Pfc.
Flynn was connected with a we'll
known New York and Washington
firm. Pfc. Vilinsky was attending
the New York School of Industrial
Arts before he entered the service.
Flynn considers his most i'm
portant job as an expert in the
days before the war the designing
and decoration of the interior of a
yacht for the Duke and Duchess
of Windsor. Other famous people
for whom he has worked are Mr..
and Mrs. Dan Topping. Mrs. Top
ping is better known as Sonia Hen
lie.
The trio of designers and decora-
tors have not always been assigned
to duties similar to their civilian
occupatinos during their army ca
reers. But, with the conception of
the returnee and convalescent pro-
grams, the Air Forces is determin-
ed to make life as pleasant and
colorful as possible for the over
seas veterans.
