Second major opportunity for the
choir came three years ago when
the choir appeared in concert at the
Radio institutes annual convention
at Ohio State university. Leading
radio executives arranged to pre-
sent the Boychoir in a six-morth
series of broadcasts.
Radio appearances and con-
certs brought the work of the
choir to the attention of music
lovers throughout the nation,
with subscriptions guaranteeing
future of the school beginning
to pour in. Two-thirds of the
back salaries now have been
paid. Huffman, who had re-
ceived nothing for his labors for
the first five years, has started
to draw his well-earned wages.
The school, which started with
faith and a $4,000 budget, has
set its goal at $4,000 next year.
Lack of housing and boarding IA
cilities for out-of-town applicants
has prevented many deserving boys
from taking advantage of the
unique opportunities offered by the
school. To remedy this situation,
more than 100000 of a $l5O,0O0
quota has been raised in an inten-
sive building campaign.
Plan Major Tours.
For the past six years, the Boy
choir confined its choral activities
to Columbus and its environs. Ex-
panding its activities, the choir con-
Quoted its first organized tour
through the East last spring.
In response to requests from par
ents in all parts of the country, the
Columbus Boychoir summer camp
at Chautauqua, N. y, was estab-
lished to make the unique training
of the school available to boys from
other communities.
Supported at first by nothing but
an Astounding faith, Columbus Boy
choir School today ranks as one of
the nations major achievements in
the artistic and educational world.

choral training. Admission to the
school-then and now-had two
requisites, musical aptitude and the
possibility of a good voice. Forty
eight boys attended the opening ses-
sion, the enrolment increasing con-
sistently to reach the present total
of 81.
A non-profit, INSTRUMENTATION
institution. the school relies on re-
turns from its own concerts and
public subscriptions for support.
Although the teachers in the ear
ly days of the struggling school
were given no assurance of salary,
they came anyway as a result of
their faith in the genius of Huffman
and the conviction that their ideal
eventually would be realized.
Make Town Hall Debut.
In the third year of its existence,
the unique. tuition-free organization
got its long-awaited opportunity.
Siegfried Hearst, representative of
the National Concerts and Artists
corporation, attended rehearsal of
the Boychoir IN Columbus. Capt.
waited by the group, he advised a
Town Hall debut in New York. Ig-
noring the financial drain, the choir
went to New York 70 score its first
outstanding success. Reviewers
were lavish in their praise.
Only disappointment following the
Town Hall debut was that the
anticipated request from N.C.A.C.
to manage the Boychoir failed to
materialize. Now, however, the
N.C.A.C. has full management of
the choir's affairs.

Lie lued OF BOY SCnOOl CnOlr
was conceived by Herbert Huffman,
musical director of the school, who
for several years had been minister
of music in Columbus church.
Founded on Faith.
When the school opened its doors
in September, 1910, it's chief assets
were Huffman's faith and the enthu-
siasm of Harry C. Marshall. head
master.
Although books, blackboards
and teachers salaries were
among the missing items, the
lack of these usual essentials in
the school was a minor factor.
The men and boys worked to-
gether for the development of
their ideal until their own en-
thusiasm began to pay divi-
dends.
In launching the unique education
al project, the founders termed it a
venture into choral training using
music as the means, not the end
a motivation, not a goal" The di-
rectors decided that choral train
ing held untold possibilities for the
educational and moral development
of each boy.
Actually, the choir had existed
two years prior to founding of the
school. The boys had rehearsed
after their own schools let out, but
time did not permit sufficient
personal contact between teacher
and boys.
Form Unique School.
The solution was the Columbus
Boychoir School of four grades,
using the standard scholastic cur
riculum with emphasis placed on

BILE oils, and on the other having
characteristics of drying oils. Its usage
for edible purposes such as shorten
ings, margarine, and salad and cook
ing oils has increased markedly in
recent years. 1t also is used in indus
try as drying oil in paints and var
nishes, and is employed in soap, lin
oleum, oilcloth and printing inks.

Mineral ABSORPTION

Scientists studying perosis, a bone
disease in poultry due to a deficiency
of manganese in food, found that if
calcium or phosphorus is added to a
diet, normally sufficient in manganese
the chickens developed perosis. This
was due to an absorption of manga
nese by calcium phosphate which put
the manganese in a form which the
body could not use.

Attractive Broilers

There's a real knack to making
broilers attractive for cooking. First
cut through bones down alongside the
backbone, cutting around tail and vent.
Remove the entrails, and pull off the
neck and disjoint from the head. Then
remove the crop. Cut through soft
cartilage of wishbore down to breast
bone and push it upward until it
breaks away from the flesh. Then
rip out keel bone by running your
thumb nail along close to the breast
bone.

Retains Milk Quality

The quality of milk can be main
tanned more easily in warm weather if
the milk utensils are rinsed with a
chlorine solution just before milking
time. The same result can be obtained
by using boiling water but the chlor-
inc solution usually is more practical
The same solution may be used to
wash the cows udders.

smaller ones on top. The under ones
get the advantage of the strongest heat

WARRINGTON
DOES OPA LEAVE PROFIT WITHOUT HONOR IN OUR COUNTRY?

WASHINGTON - This column many times has presented the ar guments of the anti-inflationists for keeping a tight hold on wage and price controls There's an other side of the picture.
 In the forthcoming battle Tn Congress over extension of OPA, those fighting for a drastic limita- ton of OPA activities (and they insist they aren't inflationists and don't favor elimination of price controls) have one powerful argu- ment they are gonig to hammer on hard:
 That OPA, through arbitrary and unauthorized regulations" is actually indulging in profit con- trols, a realm in which Congress has legislated that the only con- trol shall be taxation.
 Corporate, excess profit and in dividual income taxes see to it, these legislators will argue, that nobody gets more out of anything than he should. If, they contend, OPA is allowed ito continue to make price controls secondary to profit controls" the historic meth ods of doing business in America will be destroyed.
 They will assert that Adminis- trator Chester BoWles "arbitrar- ily'' reduced the traditional "A percent contract between car manufacturers and dealers by four percent and gave the difference to the manufacturers, and will argue that this is completely beyond the province of OPA, "an utter con- tempt for Congressional man dates"

eliminated nearly all of the rein deer there, and the ice conditions prevailing in this area during the winter, have made it possible for wolves to migrate to Nunivak Is- land. Nunivak Island has approxi- mately 28,000 to 30,000 reindeer which have been permitted to in- crease without reduction by pred ators until now. The Alaska Ma tive Service has been much con cerned regarding the reduction of the Nunivak Islard reindeer herd
 to an estimated range carrying capacity of 10000 deer. The diff cult transportation problems have held up working out a feasible plan. However, last year a rein deer butchering and reduction plant was completed and 306,000 pounds of frozen reindeer meat was processed and shipped from the island, 90 tons of which was furnished the Army, the balance being utilized at the Eklutna Vo- cational School, SkagWay Sana- torium, Juneau Hospital n d
 Wrangell Institute. 14,979 deer were handled in the Nunivak op-
 erations last year. 4,964 deer were butchered, approximately one half of which were lawns. The lawn

Wolves Migrate To Nunivak Island

Reports just received by the Alaska Native Service show that pack of wolves have migrated to NuniVak Island on ice floeS this winter and Nunivak ESkimos have found over twenty reindeer car casSeS mutiliated in ways that they have not witnessed before, the de cription of which tallieS closely with killing done by wolves. Five ESkimos sighted one wolf within one-quarter mile dis tanCe, which they failed to kill after shooting at it until it disap- peared.
 Only one month of winter con- ditions on Nunivak Island will permit travel by dog team or plane, as the landings are good in many places. After one month travel can be made only by foot with no plane landings. Further investigations are being made to determine the number of wolves which may have migrated to Nun ivak this winter.

MAP Maximum Price Regula- tionD eos, governing manufactur- CTS prices for shirts, shorts, pa jamaS and related items. This cov- CTS items which cant be purchas- ed freely by MT. and Mrs. You and Me, but which OPA says arc plentiful in warehouses. Some manufacturers acknowledge there may be such warehouse stocks but contend that they could not be forced to move them at a loss.
 One statement of Administrator Bowles in the conclusion of the issuance of MAP eos will be writ ten into the Congressional Rec ord:
 The administrator has careful ly considered the provisions of this regulation and the effects of the provisions on operations of the industry. To the extent that this regulation operates to compel changes in business practices, cost practices or methods, or means or aids to distribution established in the industry affected, the admins tratOr has found that such action $ necessary to prevent Circum- vention or evasion of the regula- 'ion."
 This, the OPA-revisionists will argue, is "cold-type proof" that CPA is acting in disregard of the Congressional mandate to stay away from any attempts to change the traditional methods of doing business. This will be met, of course, by the argument put for ward by BoWles above: that cost accounting practices are being used to avoid compliance with price control regulations.
 Key to these arguments may be found in the minority report of the House small business commit tee. On their success in winning votes in the House and Senate will depend the extent to which the operations of OPA are permitted from July l on.

Silk Cargo Arrives From Japan

SEATTLE, Apr. 3-Enough silk for 212 million pairs of women's stockings arrived in Seattle last Saturday aboard the troopship Ma rine Falcon from Japan.
 The million dollar shipment of 300 bales, first from Japan since before the war, will be shipped by rail to Eastern textile concerns by the United States Commercial Company, a government agency.
 Arriving on the Falcon were 2,645 troops and 564 civilian. pas sengers.
 Also aboard were the Chinese consul for New York and a party of seven attaches.

skins were shipped to the Nome Skin Sewers Association for the manufacture of Eskimo type cloth ing, some of which will be furn- ished to the Navy. The adult skins were shipped outside for tanning to be returned to the Arts and Crafts Office in Juneau for distri button and use by Southeastern Natives for making moccasins.
 Prior to the operation of the Nunivak butchering plant last summer from 2,OOO to 5000 lawns were butchered each year, the skins of which were utilized pri- marily for Eskimo type clothing furnished to the Army and Navy during the war. Plans are now be- ing made for larger operations at the butchering plant this year to provide meat to assist in relieving the present food shortage as well as to further reduce the herd to the range carrying capacity of the island. The large number of rein deer on Nunivak Island, which heretofore have not been moleSted by wolves, will make it easy for the wolves to seriously deplete this herd in a very short time. Due to the climatic conditions with heavy fogs and winds during the summer months, it will be practically impossible to expect to do much wolf hunting success fully.
 John P. Snow, the Reindeer Unit Manager at Bethel, who has been in charge of the operations at Nunivak Island suggests a re- ward of 5000 be made to interest a good competent plane operator to exterminate any wolves which may have migrated to Nunivak Island. However, the Alaska Ma tive Service is without power to offer such a reward.
 Reindeer in Alaska have been reduced from over 100000 to ap- proximately 6O,OO0 in the last few years and approximately two thirds of the remaining reindeer are located on Nunivak Island, St Lawrence Island, Umnak Island, Atka Island and Kodiak Island Due to military activities in Alas ka the Alaska Native Service is particularly concerned regarding the possibility of dogs, which may have been abandoned on the is- lands, becoming wild and depict ing the remaining reindeer.

amount of forage. Some of the
others which showed promise were
slender wheat grass, smooth bronze,
Orchard grass and dubious blue
grains. None OF the others looked
at all promising. One of the sur
prising things was the way the or
chard grass showed up because it
is normally considered to be an
irrigated pasture grass and one
which requires a good deal of mois-
ture. From the results shown, we
felt a mixture of crested wheat,
slender wheat and bronze grass to
be the best to use in reseeding work
with a good deal of consideration
given to orchard grass.
It was too early for the small
grains nursery to show results as
yet but the stop was made to point
out the work being carried out and
results will be published later. This
nursery was put out by the Exten-.
sion Service in cooperation with
Montana State College Experiment
Station. This was put out to give
some idea of the varieties of oats,
barley and wheat best adopted to
the area.
The stop at the reseeding done
by Mr.. Soldering was to show the
kind Of Job which can be done in
reseeding grass in cheat grass sod
by using the deep furrow drill. This
equipment cuts a deep furrow in the
toughest sod and pushes it away
from the seedlings enabling them
to get a foothold before the cheat
grass and other grass can smother
them He obtained a nice stand
from his planting this spring.
Demonstrational work such as
this is the best way that agencies
such as the Extension Service and
Soil Conservation Service have of
checking on the recommendations
put out by the Experiment Station
as applied to the counties in which
we work. They also have value
in pointing out to the farmers of
the county, proof that our recon-
mendations are based on as sound
evidence as it is possible to provide.

EXTENSION SERVICE
SPONSORS TOUR

Saturday, May 18th, tour was
held at Eureka to show the farmers
of that area the results of the grass
demonstration plots planted by the
Soil Conservation Service. This
tour was under the direction of
Mrs. A. S. Erickson, Work Unit
Leader of the Tobacco Valley Soil
Conservation District
Stops were made by the small
grain trial yield nursery planted
on the Wilfred Johnson ranch, Eur
eka; the grass demonstration plot
on R. B. Mullens ranch, Eureka;
the grass plot on Peter Borup's
ranch, Rexford, and lastly to see
some grass seeding done on Gust
Soderling's ranch this spring using
a deep furrow drill provided by
the Soil Conservation District.
These grass plots consisting of
about IL different varieties were
planted in duplicate One set plant
ed in the fall of 1914 and the dupli-
cate set in the spring of l945. The
fall seeding generally showed the
best. According to Mr.. Erickson
the land was selected because it
was considered too poor for crop
production and at the time of the
fall seeding, both plots were ex-
tremely dry and stayed dry all fall.
These conditions were considered
to be tough enough to give quite
conclusive evidence as to which
varieties would be of value to use
in reseeding work to be done IN
the valley.
Some of the varieties represented
were: Western Wheat Grass, Slen-
der Wheat Grass, Siberian Wheat
Grass, Crested Wheat Grass, Smooth
Bronze Grass, Mountain Bronze, Bull
bous Blue Grass, Orchard Grass,
Meadow Fescue, Alta FescHe and
tail Dat Grass. OF these crested
wheat grass stood out by far the
best in quality of stand and in
