We have all heard a great deal
about the new miracle" insec-
ticide. DOT. Perhaps a word
should be inserted at this time
as to the use Of this product and
it's advantages and limitations.
This product has now been re-
leased by WPB and is being sold
in spray and powder form.
Word come from David Bran
non, Washington extension ento-
mologist regarding this new IN
secticide.
The material is excellent in con-
trolling the housefly, mosquito,
bedbug, many plant insects; yet
it apparently offers little or no
protection against the heelfly,
poultry mite, other mites, cherry
fruit fly, some aphids and other
pests according to USDA research,
'Brannon points out.
cts an odd fact" says Bran
non. "that DOT used against diff
ferent insects which may be very
similar in their habits and struc-
ture, will be highly effective in
one instance and unsatisfactory In
another. Examples Of this are the
housefly, against which DOT is
successful, and the heelfly which
apparently is not controlled by
DOT.
"When used indiscriminately,
this insecticide will oftentimes de-
stroy beneficial insects which we
cannot afford to be without" con-
tinues the entomologist. "An ex-
ample of this is the tests conduct
ed against the codling moth this
summer by the Tree Fruit branch
experiment station of Wenatchee.
Here DOT killed beneficial pred
ators of the two-spotted mite
with the result that the mite pop

Bus Service 10
Be Speeded Up

The running times OF buses
through the routes served by the
Washington Motor Coach System
will speed up, effective October
1, John Dougherty, local agent OF
the transportation firm announced
in Kennewick this week.
At the same time it was re-
vealed that an additional daily
transcontinental trip from Spok-
ane East and West over the North
ern Short Route will be inauger-
ated October l, bringing the total
transcontinental service to four
bus schedules every day.
Further improvements in serv-
ice and the retirement Of some
older equipment are being made
possible by the recent addition
of ten new 37-passenger and six
80 passenger buses, Dougherty
said, explaining that even more
new equipment will be added to
the Washington Motor Coach Sys-
tenn fleet as soon as it can be OBJ
tanned.
While the new, faster bus SEIZED
ules will result in worthwhile saw
ings in time over the wartime
schedules, the new running times
will not be on quite the same basis
as those of the pre-war schedules.
This is due to the continued heavy
traffic during the reconversion
period, Dougherty explained,
pointing out that the relaxation
of the wartime speed limit should
not be construed as an invitation
for pleasure travel as yet.
The Washington Motor Coach
System is now projecting its plans
to reinstate fast, limited bus
schedules early next spring,
Dougherty stated. The possibility
of providing fast through service
for long distance travelerS-With
separate schedules for local short
distance itravelqers-is also being
considered.
Under new schedules effective
October l, buses will leave Ken
newick for Pasco, Walla Walla
and way points daily at sos am.
11:15 a. M, 4:30 pm, 6:20 pm,
and $40 pm.
Buses will leave for Yakima
and Ellensburg and way points
daily at 1853 am, 1923 am, 1855
pm, ESQ pm. and 10:45 pm.
with all trips except the one leav.

tinuing on to Seattle.

POLES TO HAVE
 NEW GOVERNMENT

LONDON, Jan. 4EEarly Russian recognition of the expected Polish Provisional Government was pro- claimed last night by the Soviet sponsored Polish Committee of Ma tional Liberation at Lublin. The formation of the government will be headed by Edward Osubka Nor awski as Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary.
 The step was widely expected after repeated failures to bring the Polish Government in London and Russia together.
 The move was announced by the National Council of Poland on the Lublin radio and almost immedi- ately the action was challenged by the London Polish Government which charged that the Polish na- ticn will never recognize any au- thority of totalitarian form i'm posed on Polish national territory and will not cease to stand as a genuine and independent Poland"

FORMER PREMIER WOULD OVERTHROW DICTATOR F. FRANCO

LONDON, Jan. Dr. Juan Negrin, former Premier of the Spanish Republic, declared tonight he would help overthrow Francisco Franco and establish "a stable, tol- erant and progressive republic in Spain"
 He released this statement after the British government refused to permit him to broadcast it.
 At mass meeting later tonight in Madison Square Garden in New York, Negrin, breaking a five years Self-imposed sentence, asserted if the United Nations wishes ito re- pair grave insult to the justice and rights of people, committed six years ago. they should cease to recognize Franco.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER YOU BY

This being the first of the 1945 USO columns, we had thought we might review today some of the outstanding events of last year around the clubhouse. On second thought, we decided there were SC many we couldn't hope to do jus tice to any of them. Instead, we're taking just a single week-the last week of the old year-finding it vivid and colorful and not soon to be forgotten.
 To be sure, the seismograph of our mind didn't register any events of world shaking importance in ol around the local USO. Maybe since Christmas this has been just about an average week for our club. And yet it's various day-to-day happen ings have been so exceedingly pleasant and have involved such pleasant people as to convince us personally that it will remain in memory one of the weeks of 1914 to be recalled with particular grati- tude.
 It was the people, of course, that made it matter-a lot of people To name a few: There was Mrs Frank Boyle, dropping into the clubhouse around midnight on New Years Eve to wish us well, plan ming to stay just a moment, but upon finding us trying to run the whole building by ourself, taking over operation of the canteen and remaining there for three hours. Doesn't that generous, thoughtful person ever get tired of looking for ways to help the USO and it's servicemen?)
 And then there was popular Rhoda Hanford, up from Wrangell for the holidays, attending our dances on Thursday and Saturday, doing considerably more than her mathematical share to make these affairs among the best dances we've had in many months.
 And speaking of popularity that was a big hit that was made with all of us at the Thursday night dance by the attendance of It. Marsh Green and his fellow officers of the Coast Guard ship Aurora whose crew-members happen to be especially well liked around the Juneau USO.
 And, (while still on the subject of dances) there was our good friend Art Walther, representing the CIO, the owner of Union Hall, anxious last week as always in the past to have our men enjoy the facilities of that excellent building.
 And there was Soldier Ken Mack lin, of Anchorage, newcomer to Juneau, managing in short time to make himself useful in a dozen different ways around here, and

 And there was that inimitable Margaret Femmer, on Tuesday night, trying modestly to avoid par ticipation in the quiz contest, not only turning out to be it's winner but also rating top honors in the series of other games which fol- lowed
 And Soldier Bob Satire, home from the Aleutians, continuing to flatter us by spending much of his furlough at the USO and delighting us with his playing of the piano.
 And Sylvia Anderson, back in town after a long stay in the States, last week acting as our in formal tand lovely to look-at) hostess, convincing us that while she is attending the. University of Alaska she will be much missed down here.
 And there was Jane English, in the clubhouse last week after too long an absence, of whom one of the men in from the Aleutians ex- claimed: Here's someone more beautiful than all the pinup girls on our whole island out there and I'm meeting her on an Alaskan .furlough! But none of my buddies will believe me when I get back they'll say she's just figment of my imagination"
 The week had it's share of laughs, too. The lawyers have phrase, you know, about the meeting of the minds" in the forming of a con- tract. Generally. unless the two parties are thinking about the same thing there won't be a contract. We might entitle this little true opi- sode No Meeting of the Minds" 1:
 Director-(in midst of discussion with Coast Guardsman about the current local movies): Have you seen both of them?"
 Pat F'leek (just arriving, not hay ing heard any part of the conver- sation, directing her question, pre- sumably to the director, but look ing directly at the c. c. whom she had not met: Have you seen my brother?"
 Coast Guardsman mot listening to Pat, but looking right at her as he answered the directoD I've seen one of them, and the other isn't worth seeing"
 Pat incredulous and rather provoked at the same time) Which one of my brothers isn't worth seeing?"
 And then there was that little incident that brightened up one drab early morning for the director after he had worked almost through the night and was about to leave tEe empty building and go home to bed. He looked up in sur- prise when a soldier whom he knows well but who shall remain nameless here, breezed into the clubhouse at few minutes before 5 a. nj. We say "breezed' advisedly, because it was obvious that this CT was startlingly alert for such an early hour.
 Isn't it" he asked brightly kind of quiet here for this time of day?"
 Before the director could answer, he added: AS a matter of fact, the whole town seems quiet. AS I came down the street I didn't. see a soul. Where is everybody"
 Perhaps" said the director, "at this hour good many of them might be in bed"
 "At this hour" echoed the CT. What time is it? thirty in the morning! Why, it can't be!'
 But it could be-and it was. The past 24 hours had been his day off. It turned out that instead of getting up at the end of 12 hours, somehow our friend had managed to sleep for full A hours

 pERS0Ms STRICKEN
 FOOD POISONING

Mine persons, three of whom re- quired hospitalization, were stricken with severe food poisoning in An cnorage on March IT, following the eating of contaminated banana cream rolls purchased from an An chcrage bakery, it was announced today by pr. c. 0. Carter Territorial Commissioner of Health.
 Upon investigation by the City Health Officer and the District Health Commissioner in Anchorage tke stapllylccoccus germ which caused the outbreak were found ir an uneaten portion of a roll, pur- chased by one Of the victims anc from the remaining banana cream filling at the bakery. The same kint Of germs were obtained from an in- fected thumb of cne of the bakery workers who prepared the pastry.
 This outbreak" Dr. Carter stated "seves to re-emphasize the impor- tance of safe preparation and hand ing of fcodstuffs, especially custards and other cream filings. It points cut vividly why the health depart ment insists that persons who are ill or who have bcils, sores or abras- ions on their hands or arms, must not prepare or handle food or drink for public consumption, and that workers, proprietors, and customers alike should be watchful about this.
 "Custards, cream filings and salad dressings" Dr. Carter contin- ued, mot only should be prepared in clean manner, but eaten with in few hours of their preparation, CT adequately refrigerated until they are used"
 According to pr, Carter, the An chorage bakery involved in this food poisoning outbreak, recently spent several thousand dollars in new equipment, but carelessness on the part of one employee nullified, in this case, the benefits of such im- provements. Incidentally it so hap pened that the food handler involv- cd was one of these from the bakery who did not see fit to attend the food handler instruction school re- gently conducted by the Health De- partment in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks and Ketchikan.

hour D-day mission.
 Almost 2,000 American heavy b o m b CTS Liberators and For tresses the 30-mile line of the south coast of England.
 Timing had to be precise.
 The last airplane of this enor- nous force was timed to leave England so that it would cross the channel and drop it's bombs on the beach defenses just five minutes no more, no less-before the first foot soldier came in through the surf on the Normandy beaches.
 The bombers were on time.
 Group after group crossed the channel over an unmarked floor of smooth solid clouds.
 At an invisible point in space the bombs were released to fall through the clouds and strike pre- ciscly on targets below.
 There Were No Mistakes
 On D-day almost any one of them could have accidentally or prematurely hit the release which would have sent tons of high ex- plosives crashing into the densely packed channel below.
 The fact that not one of those Americans made that tragic mis- take-the fact that their bombing was of high accuracy in spite of some heavy anti-aircraft fire those facts seem to me little short of miraculous.
 Dropping one million tons means that five million individual bombs have plummeted down on German and Japanese targets.
 They have been used where they would hurt the enemy most.
 Approximately 175, 900 tons, con centrated on aircraft factories and related plants, and air fields, de- stroyed the effectiveness of his air power.
