CANNERY OPERATIONS OVER

The Douglas tacking Company completed it's canning operations for the season on Wednesday. Can- nery officials state that they, as well as other Southeast Alaska canneries, had a very poor and unprofitable season, but they did enjoy the best in cooperation from the local cannery workers, and at this time wish to thank each one of the workers who assisted in putting up the years pack. Sein- CTS of the Fishing fleet left for the Puget Sound area last Tuesday, the Tender Luxor, with it's crew, left for Seattle yesterday afternoon, and another tender, Sonia, and crew, will remain in Alaska, having been chartered to a fish buying company.

VISITORS ON FISHING TRIP

Mayor Marcus Jensen, enter tained two channel visitors yester- day on a trolling expedition around Douglas Island His guests were Miss Lillian Thompson, Superin- tendent of the Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle, who has spent the past two weeks visiting with a sister, Mrs. H. D. Jergenson, formerly of Douglas who now resides in Juneau, and Joseph Rainier, of Fife, Minn, who arrived by plane Tuesday from the States to visit his daughter and family here. The day was packed with thrills for the visitors. making their first Alaska fishing trip, who assisted in landing 33- pound king salmon and many smaller fish. Other thrills included seeing at close range two large whales fighting when but five miles out in Gastineau Channel; seeing echoes Jumping clear of the water; donning the captains cap and steering the course; eating and cooking aboard the boat in a shell tered cove on Admiralty Island, and rowing ashore. They found the return-trip a scenic marvel with a beautiful sunset, the channel lights and new moon coming up.

VETERANS GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

credit under the G I Bill?
 I say ''Yes" to both questions. Let's look at the wording of the law. We will ignore tto get to the point) such other necessary qualifications as must have served on or after Sep tember 16, l94o' and discharge un- der conditions other than dishonor- able" and age and so on.
 The law says anyone who shall have served ninety days or more Then comes this exclusive of any period he was assigned for course of education or training under the Army specialized training program or the Navy college training pro- gram That's the part which pro- bably created the transformation my friend had absorbed.
 But the law goes rigilt on to say: which course was 8 continuation of his civilian course and was pursued to completion
 That's all there is to it. It means that any service man who spent any times in an A s T P or N c T P set-up can count that time as ser vice (when he later wants to qualify for education or training under the c I Bib provided he did not com plete the Army or Navy course for any reason.
 Even if he completed the A s T P or N c T P course, he can count the time-unless the course was a continuation of course he was talk ing before he went into the service.

WASHINGTON--I was just talk ing with nineteen year old Joe who's wrapped up in a Navy V l2 program
 He's going to be doctor He al ways wanted to be one. When he graduated from high school he went directly into the Navy. He's been sweating out an accelerated course and managed to hold on while others wilted The need for doctors in the Navy has slowed to walk, so it's hard for a young fellow to survive the cuts.
 But know what he's worrying about? Now that the war is over, he wonders how he'll be able to com- plete his medical education. That's what he said-he said that.
 So I asked him, Have you heard about the G I Bill and it's education provisions?"
 "Oh. sure. I've heard about it, :" ke shrugged, but it won't help me. ''
 Well, why not?" wanted to know. When you're discharged you'll be a veteran and the c Bill is for Veterans"
 Sure = but I hear veteran can't count the time he spends in Navy College Training Program as time in the service. That is" he added, "aS time towards giving him credit for education under the G I Bill"
 7 Well, I told him I though some one had passed him some scuttlebutt. I pulled the law on him and showed him the wording of Part VIII of Title II of the c I Bill.
 There were two questions he want ed to get clear What about the service man who taken an N c T F course, but is discharged before he finishes it because the war ends can he count the time as credit foi education under the c I Bill?
 Second =. if service man fails to complete an N c T P course fol any reason and is assigned to some other Navy duty, can he count the time he spent in the N c T P course as time in service-for education

crystals their nervous systems are destroyed
and they soon die.
An amazingly small amount of DOT goes
long way. Furthermore, it's toxic effects
last long time. A good spraying in these
Southern homes now will last all summer and
far into next winter.
Already DDT has successfully waged bat
tie for our armed services against those two
wartime diseases: typhus fever and malaria.
1t stopped a disastrous epidemic of typhus in
Italy, and now there is enough DDT louise
powder to prevent an epidemic among the
liberated peoples of Europe.
Sprayed - Tsat Walls
In JUNGLE areas, DDT is sprayed on tent
walls and used in an oil mixture to kill mos
quito larvae in water.
Many agricultural uses have been found for
DOT. 1t is effective against codling moths,
cabbage worms, Jap beetles, flies and ants.
Its chemical potentialities have only been
scratched. Much research must be done. how
ever, before DDT can be used extensively in
agriculture. Although it kills harmful insects,
it may also kill some beneficial ones, and upset
a natural balance.
Experts have found that, under proper
conditions, it is no more harmful to human
beings than other common insecticides. When
used as louise powder it can safely touch the
skin; when diluted properly as spray it can
be inhaled without harmful effects.
Public health officials believe DDT will
become one Of the foremost health aids to
human beings after the war. Housewives
probably will get DDT sprays for their own
use. DDT even may be mixed with wall
paints some day to provide perpetual death
trap for insect house pests.

including converted jeeps and gun carriers.
Crews will cover household goods with tar
paulins, stow away dishes and raw foods.
Walls and ceilings. kitchens and pantries
then can safely be sprayed with DOT. It
wipes off windows easily. 1t leaves no mark
on curtains, mattresses and other tex
tile furnishings. In fact, mattresses can
be left on the beds and sprayed to kill
any bothersomc insects.
Sprayed under pressure 18 inches from the
wall surfaces. DOT penetrates the finest
crevices. There it dries and leaves tiny crys-
tails. When insects come in contact with these

ians, to protect every home Spraying will be
done between March and June.
The initials DDT stand for a mouthful
of chemical terms dichloro- -diphenyl-trichlo-
roethane. When used properly it kills many
of our enemy insects, household pests es-
pecially the mosquitoes and feas which spread
malaria and typhus fever
Here's how the anti-mosquito campaign in
the South is organized. Already the necessary
100 tons of DOT powder have been gathered.
One thousand men have been trained as
spraying crews. They'll soon be invading
that malarial zone in 400 mobile units -

No More Mosquitoes %. BY ELIZABETH pRrrcHARD
Back in America, miraculous
DOT may do a home-front
job equal to its battle record

CPRING and housecleaning time are coming.
- The housewife is stirring. She's getting
out the rug beater, readying the scrub pail
and thinking how to shove the piano over
where the sofa is now. But in 100000 South
ern homes this year something new will be
added It's DDT the miraculous insect poi
son which has been doing such good battle
front job. Many homes in IL Southern
states will be sprayed "a trial run
against malaria that may become annual
after the war.
Any morning, now, if Georgia housewife
hears knock on the door and sees men and
spraying equipment in the yard she probably
won't be surprised. In fact, she'll say, Good
morning You're the ones I'm expecting?"
That's right, ma am. We're here to spray
DDT. It'n take only half an hour"
Malaria Serious Problem
ZONE right in, then - but don't you spot
my furniture! She needn't worry.
In some 100 counties of the South, malaria
is a particularly serious problem. Authorities
are combating any possibility that this
insect-borne disease will sweep that area.
The Public Health Service, Army. WPB and
other agencies have scraped up enough DOT,

Taxicab Gasoline
Drouth Holds

El Centre has entered its second
week Of ''taxici;bless' existence
with no hope of such transportation
until the city's lone taXicab COM
pany gets more gasoline April l.
Records at city hall show that
there is only one licensed taxicab
company in the city, the j. D. Hor-
ton company, and if Others are
operating taxicabs they are said to
be doing SO without permits.
The amount of gasoline taxicab
companies get is determined on a
mileage basis by the Office Of De-
fense Transportation. The office
of Price Administration merely is
sues the coupons on the ODT order.
I'VE tried to get more gasoline
allotted to us because so many
vice people use the cabs" Mrs. Hor-
ton said. But the ODT said the
military provides service people with
all the transportation they need and
no more can be issued to us to
transport them. We have to pay the
state board of equalization three
cents a mile to haul passengers out
OF the city and we pay an annual
! occupation license to haul them
within the city"
Owners of the company declared
that they have policy Of first
come, first served and attempt to
load their cabs instead of hauling
one or two at time. In cases
where people arrive on buses and
want to go to their homes in the
country, it was explained, it usual
~ is impossible to load the cab.
Gasoline will De Dudgeted by the
cab company after am. April /.
Each car will be permitted to drive
so many miles each day and then
be parked until the next day. This
way it is hoped the city will not be
csbless at the end of the next quar-
ter when more gasoline is available.
The company will make no more
trips to the Ell Centro marine sta
ton unless the cab is loaded to cap
acity.
Part of the great demand for cabs
is caused by the fact that many
service men and Mexican nationals
have no cars. The Mexicans work
in the fields and want to be hauled
back and forth from town to farm,
especially on Saturday and Sunday
nights.

Navy Maps Plans
To Keep Ships
From Rusting Out

WASHINGTON, March 26. CUP)--
The navy has developed methods to
keep the entire postwar reserve
fleet free of rust and in condition to
operate on 30 days notice.
The preservation of the reserve
fleet will cost only one tenth of one
percent of the cost of the ships, the
navy said Monday
The size of the job allotted to the
bureau of ships will depend upon
how many ships the government de-
cides should be preserved for pos
sible restoration to active duty
The methods evolved by the bur-
eau include decentralization, a
rust-preventative compound, not
plastic paints, and plastic film for
the packaging of deck equipment.
These methods will not only pre-
serve the fleet intact for future use
but will also speed mobilization of
ships and personnel after the war.
Under navy regulations, no ships
crew may be detached from vessel
passing into inactive status until the
ship has been secured for future
readiness. The bureau can now pre-
pare a vessel for preservation in a
matter of few days.
All naval vessels are now treated
with hot plastic anti-fouling paints
as a routine practice. Thus, an av-
erage ship will need very little
hull treatment upon its arrival at
the reserve berthing area. The new
hot plastics quadruple the time out
of drydock of active ships For in
active ships they will preserve a
ships hull for five years in salt
water. This will stretch to Is years
in fresh water.
