Turtle Islands

In the southern Pacific, many
miles west of the mainland of Peru
there lies a clump of islands, the
Galapagos group. They one had
in abundance the strangest reptilian
inhabitants which have yet man.
aged to continue an unbroken line
of descent from those gigantic tor
toises which roamed the earth in the
Age of Reptiles. The word "Gala-
pagos" is the Spanish word for
turtles" and this group of islands
was so named by the original Span
ish discoveries on account of the
great number of enormous turtles
which populated these waterless,
rocky and uninviting islets.

Reports Heard Monday
At WOman's Club Meet

Display of antiques was an in,
~teresting section of the meeting
Monday of the Laurel Woman's club
at Mrs. B. L. Prices home. Ans.
wers to roll call consisted of the
members exhibiting antiques and
giving short histories of the arti-
cles. Mrs. R. ]. Rosselot, vice pres
ident, presided at the session.
One of the oldest items brought
to the meeting was a history book
printed in 1914, the property of
Mrs. C. L. Morris. The book men
toned no states or territories west
of the Mississippi except California,
which at the time was a property
of Mexico and was not acquired by
the United States until 1846-47. The
Louisiana Purchase, however, was
United States property at the time
the book was printed, but little was
known about the large area other
than the joint report submitted by
Lewis and Clark after completing
their exploration of the northwest
in 1804-6. The book was produced
in the last year of the war of 1872
with England and has it's original
leather binding. 1t gave the popu-
lation of the United States as be-
ing 1000, 900, which has since in
creased to 140,000,000.
Woman's club members partici-
pating in the Red Cross roll call
reported on their success in the
drive.
At the next meeting members are
to bring articles of clothing to be
and sent to needy club
in Greece.
Mrs. Rosselot explained the Blue
Cross plan and the club is seriously
considering undertaking this pro-
ject.
A report on the Montana anti
initiation conference at Helena
March 9 was given at length by the
delegate, Mrs. Marion Crawford.
At the meeting March a at Mrs.
Crawford's home a paper was read
On "Look to Your WILL" which dis
:ussed Montana laws IN inheritance
and wills and which was most in
formative and enjoyed by all.
At the close of the meeting Mon
lay, Mrs. Price served a delicious
unch. The next meeting will be
Monday, April 1, with Mrs. M. j..

Mare Island Hospital Continues To
Handle Thousands Oh Wounded.

wrote April 16, 1868, to the sur
geon general at Washington ant
asked for a building that would
hold 20 beds. He added that "ir
an emergency, by using the chapel
we can put up 40 beds" The first
permanent brick building vas erect
ed in 1868, but vas damaged by
an earthquake in 1898. A new hos
pital was completed in April 1900.
A wing was added five years later,
and in 1908 five 18-bed pavillions
were erected on a nearby hill. At
the beginning of World War 1 the
main building had a maximum of
PIP beds and at the beginning OF
the second World War the bed cap
acitv was 486. Since then the hos
pital units have been increased, and
now have more than 1000.
The hospital handles a vast num-
Der of the navy men who have
lost hands, arms, feet, legs and
have sustained other mutilations.
The number during the war was
staggering. The best skills that
could be mustered met the chal-
lenge of the service mems needs
and have often worked seeming mir
acles. Some time ago the Times
Herald of Vallejo, Calf, devoted
several pages of pictures and text
to the Mare Island hospital, which
is said to be the worlds greatest
for amputations. Many of the i'll
ustrations showed young men fitted
with ingenious devices to take the
place of lost limbs.
Miss Gertrude Schauer, daughter
of F. w. Schauer of Laurel, has
devoted much of her skill as a
specialist in physical education and
recreation to the rehabilitation of
the injured bodies. Complete re-
covery is often a long process for
patients, many of whom have to
be retrained in the use of their
members and muscles. Others not
so badly injured require the assist
ance of specialists in recreation to
speed their healing. Miss Schauer
has found the work interesting and
has devoted nearly four years to
The needs of the patients.
The boys enjoy recorded music.
When F. w. Schauer learned from
MS daughter of how much the men
we're enjoying a new playing unit
hat had been recently installed, he
contributed to their happiness by
two additional outfits. He
subsequently received letters of
warm thanks from the hospital au-
,horities, expressing their appreci-
ation for his assistance.

Oyster Nutritious

Louisiana oysters rate higher than
oysters of other states in iodine. The
oyster is recognized as a good
source of the minerals, calcium and
phosphorus, and an excellent source
of vitamin B1. The protein of the
oyster is valuable, too. Oysters
are well known in cocktails and
fried, but being versatile, the oyster
is equally good in stews, gumbo,
and scalloped dishes.

Ample vitamin D, preferably in

Providing Telephone Service
FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING

Since war ended, thousands of new
telephones have been made and installed.
To provide service for all who are waiting
also requires much additional equipment
wire connections, switchboards or dial
mechanism in the telephone office. Four
years of shortages caused by war can't be
made up overnight, but we're doing the
best we can to make the interval as short as
possible for those who are still waiting.
When all the needed additions are installed
we look forward also to providing individ-
ual line service for the thousands who have
had to share party lines during and since
the war. And we promise to get the work
done as quickly as we know how.

At present MT. Davis feels that
 Alaska business and consumer
 groups are backing the agsncy's 'ef- ! forts to achieve postwar stabiliza- tion and are now convinced of the Alaska divisions policy of giving
 every possible consideration to Alas kans' interests in the performance
 of their clearly defined task-that
 of holding the price and rent line until postwar Alaska can return to full peacetime business and trade status. Public reaction to the Alas ka OPA's participation in current freight rate issue is one indication
 of this, MT Davis feels.
 "All OPA personnel must con- ftinue to realize the responsibility placed on them by the government and by the people in whose interest they are functioning,' MT. Davis
 said
 Leaving for the interior tomorrow,
 he plans to confer with as many of the members of the OPA field of 1 fices as possible before returning to the Juneau office for final confer | ences with Territorial officials on 1 general program plans for the com ing months.

Decentralization

In the summer of 1944, MT. Davis stressed the wisdom of decentraliza- ton of OPA operation to better ser vice the scattered trade and pop ulation areas in Alaska. Similarly he advised strengthening the field offices in the interior to enable them to reach out into the vast out lying areas with the programs pro tective benefits. Yesterday he told the group that special concessions had been made in recent agency consolidation moves to provide the Alaska organization, which serves one of the most geographically dif- ficult areas in the nation, with ade- quate facilities to carry their job through to successful completion. He also assured the staff that there is every reason to expect extension by Congress of the Price Control Act with full operation through the con- ing fiscal year.

SEEK SUPPORT
ON BOND ISSUE

Opportunity to help make Ma
rysVille an even better place in
which to live will be presented to
the voters of the village next Tues
day in the form of the proposed
bond issue for improvement and
extension of the sanitary and the
storm sewer system.
The bond issue calls for $165,
900 to carry out the program, pro-
badly the most-needed improve
ment in Marysville today.
Both the storm and sanitary
sewers are wholly inadequate to
properly serve the community.
Any heavy rainstorm invaria-
bly, results in water standing in
the streets to a depth of several
,incheS for several hours after the
rain has stopped. Worse, base
ments all over town are flooded
following heavy rains, and it is al
ways necessary to close the schools
for day or two following such
storms.
Once the improvement. made
possible by approving the bond is
sue next Tuesday, have been COM
pleted, there will be no more
flooded easements and water in
the streets.
That the state of Ohio is aware
of the needs in Marysville and ap-
proves the project, is shown by a
letter recently sent in by F. II.
Waring, chief engineer for the Oh
10 Department of Health, to H. J.
Sullivan, division engineer of the
Bureau of Community Facilities,
Federal Works Agency, in Wash
ington. This letter, copy of which
was sent to Mayor Asman, fol-
lows:
"The village of Marysville, Ohio,
recently filed with your agency a
request for planning funds for
sewerage improvements. General
plans embodied in a report prepar-
ed by Floyd Browne & Associates,
consulting engineers, have been re-
ceived and briefly reviewed by this
department. We are aware of the
general situation at Marysville
with respect to sewerage and
sewage disposal. The existing sew
erage is inadequate in several re-
'spects. The project for which the
planning money is now sought is
in accord with the overall plan
for the state and favorable action
on this application is recommend
ed"
