IN MEMORIUM
STR0LLINC THROUGH THE RANKS

Hello again. Say did you know that it will be on or about the fif- teenth of May before there will be any ankle work, dancing, at the Club? However, you gals may visit and have your ear-drums beat out in the usual way.
 Cupid, now using carbine in- stead of bow and arrow, has fired a whole clip into Pfc. Russell Dor sey. The guy is so badly wounded that he is going to take a dose of marriage very soon. He has se- lected Pfc. L. Erwin to hold him up while he takes the powerful cure. Good things to you and yours to be.

Entomologists are frankly con- cerned about a pest lately develop ing: the corn borer. When this in sidious fungus parasitically in- vades the inner organisms, results are sometimes appalling and chronic. The etiology is one of con- tagion, virulent in some climes, and the syndrome characteristically identifable. V Lately the infection has been spreading in. these parts, Strong and silent men wax vociferous ard go about spreading the most boring postprandial repartee. Should this become too widespread, corn as a staple article shall have to be absent from our tables and the boler pest isolated, and even os- tracized in some extreme instances.
 In order to hasten the end of such an impending nuisance we submit the following as an exem- plum horrendum 10 show in relief the acute stage that this malady can reach if not suppressed by stern counter measures.
 For the most fragrant examples we submit:
 Exhibit A
 Ed Paris new song, "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry, But Your Face Is Cleaner, Honey"
 "Bossmans": Tom, Pm losing my memory.
 Conroy: Forget it!
 And Jimmy "Polisher') Maloof who had the gals running around in circles when he was a track coach.
 Pfc: Letter here for Sgt. Licho- robiec.
 Stan: Whats his initials?
 Medico: Any scars on you?
 Miseray: No, but I got some cigarettes.
 And Bob Levi who plays the violin just like Heifetz-under his chin. (Ed. Note: Enuff, EnuffD.
 The unusually warm, early spring has hastened the develop ment of the pest, which has thus emerged two or three weeks ahead of schedule.
 Borers pass the winter in and around old corn stalks and stubble, and doing away with this material assists in controlling the trouble. A clean, complete job should now be done for effective control, blow ing under to a depth of about six inches at least.

ed in Palestine and in the neigh

tells of the claim which the Soviet
Government lodged for property

illustration of the extent to which
Moscow is interested in strength
ening contact with the Arabs in
Palestine, the book brings to light
the fact that the new Soviet en-
voy, Abdul Sultanov, worships ev-
cry Friday in the mosque of O.

is not religious person AS
to the U. S. interest in that part
of the world, the author quotes
the late Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox as stating that the
Middle East contains the greatest
known pool of oil in existence in
the world "The oil there
could create a hundred Rookie

ly so that he could razz his dentist

mix, too. A big, handsome fell
low, Denker is the last man in
the world you would expect to
see at the number one board.
He looks more at home in the
number one slot of a football

that Denker did play football and
he was a pretty good backfield

That is exercise enough for him.

INVENTIONS AND

mating report that the Anti
Defamation League and the Anti
NaZi League are using a special
invention to listen in to private
talks of persons whom they sus-
pect of conducting subversive
and anti-Semitic activities in this
country The invention is
credited by Smith to the Gestapo
and was allegedly revealed by
a German diplomat now informed
in Stockholm 1t consists of
a playing-card-size metal plate
tuned to a portable listening ap-
paratus in a mans pocket :.
The plate even picks up a whis-
per and, according to Smiths
report, it enabled Gestapo agents
standing as far as five-eighths Of
a mile away to listen to CONVEX
sations The contraption, the
report says, was the undoing of
many Germans, including two
Nazi diplomats, who, following the
July plot against Hitler's life,
wanted to discuss what should be
done They decided to talk in
a moving automobile The
Gestapo, which was keeping 6
close watch on all German diplo-
mats, struggled one of the metal
plates into a laundry package in
the back seat and followed in
another car The two diplo-
mats were arrested at the end Of
their ride and shot within AZ
hours It seems that Gerald
L. K. Smith has good reason tt
be jittery about such an invention
if it really exists :. By the way

ing that he is creating coalition

Heroes OF The Air

Analysis of figures on the German war
make it apparent that our flyers are doing
the most dangerous work of any branch of
the army or navy.
When we read that 500 planes went over
enemy country and only five or ten were
lost, it doesn't seem like much. But when
we realize that those same 500 planes, with
the same crews, may 60 over enemy coun-
try several times a w 4ek-and that or 10
may be lost each time-it takes only sim
pie arithmetic to see that the majority OF
those crews are apt to become casualties
within a comparatively short time.
The work of the infantry may seem lot
more bloody when they engage in battles
in which thousands are killed or wounded.
And it is true that the flyers have much
more comfortable life than the infantry
men when everything goes all right.

From Swords To Tractors

In taking his oath of office as Secretary
of Agriculture, Clinton T. Anderson said
in his statement 81 undertake my new du-
ties with the firm conviction that nothing
is more important now than sound food
program. 1t is basic to our war program,
to civilian welfare, and to lasting peace
and sound national economy after the
war. My immediate concern will be with
four chief problems that are fundamental
to such a sound program: First, abundant
production to meet our war time require
ments. Second the guarantees farmers
need from Government to get greater pro-
duction. Third, the necessary action to
make good on the promises of Government
to farmers. Fourth, improvements in dis
tribution so that our supplies may be shar
ed more fairly among all of u.s.
Secretary Anderson says that the farm
ers have not failed the country and that
"they have done their best" He mentioned
the fact that cit takes a lot of time to grow
process, and distribute food" He asked for
the cooperation of the entire public to re-
store agriculture to it's highest level
Things are moving in the right direction
as shown by the fact that the War Depart
ment is releasing 10000 light and medium
size trucks for use on farms. In addition
to these army trucks provision has also
been made under which the Department
of Commerce will authorize the sale of
trucks to dealers who serve the needy areas
and who agree to sell only to persons hold
ing certificates from county AAA commit
tees and that appears to be the opening
wedge for more and more tractors, plus all
the attachments that 60 with them. This
farm machinery is being produced in album
dance at the present time in Detroit. In
view of the critical manpower shortage it
seems only question of short time before
the long heralded program of undermining
the farm will be under way.

portance of the high quality proteins, SUI
CARS, minerals and vitamins of milk have
begun to be fully appreciated. This reali-
zation has been demonstrated by the cur
rent tremendous increase in the consump-
ton of fluid milk and milk products. Dur
ing the years of 1890 to 1884 inclusive, con-
sumers in the United States used an aver
age of less than 1913 quarts of milk per per-
son in terms of all fresh fluid milk and all
the products made from whole milk. That
consumption has risen steadily since them
In 1914 our average consumption of all
whole milk, ana food products made from
whole milk, amounted to an equivalent of
244 quarts of milk per capita. This is an
increase of 1854 over the consumption of
those same products in 1894. Both the in
creased consumption per capita and the
more efficient utilization of these ingredi-
ents," states Mrs. Ethel Austin Martin, Di-
rector Of Nutrition for the National Dairy
Council, "have been important factors in
maintaining the nutritional standards Of
the nation during this war period"
