First War Babies
Return To NORWAY

OSLO.-The Oslo press notes
that a first group of SOTO war
children are scheduled tc arrive
in Norways capital from the Rus
sian zone in Germany within the
month. These are the first of sew
eral hundred children who were
born in Norway during the occu-
patton and then forcibly shipped
off to various parts of Germany
by the Nazi authorities.
With Nazi fathers and Nerve
gian mothers, their uncertain flu
ture as waits in Germany soon re-
suited in government action to
bring them home and give them
fair chance. The first to arrive
will be those who have no homes,
and who have simply been passed
on from one German institution
tc another. Travel to Norway will
be by bus. Following arrival each
child will be given thorough elm
ical examination before being re-
turned to the mother or charged
to the adopting parent.
Most members of this first group
will be returned to their own fam
lilies as their identification papers
accompanied them to Germany.
Others still in Germany are not
so fortunate, however, and in
many instances identification is all
but impossible.

Funds Donated
For Microscope

observation-disclosures research
in Norway will soon take a long
step forward with the purchase of
that countrys first electron micro
scope, it was announced in Oslo
recently. A $4,000 kr (S25,OOO)
grant for the new instrument was
recently presented to the w. Will
helmsen archaeological Institute
by Erling H. Samuelson, head of
an Oslo shipping firm.
Heretofore, virus research in
Norway has been severely ham,
pered by the lack of this vital and
expensive microscope. 1t is under
stood that earlier contacts with
the Instruments manufacturer in
the United States may result in it's
early delivery to the Oslo Insti-
tute.

Operations Made To
Conserve Grain Supply

Walter Stats of Caldwell has
just returned from a visit to the
Purina Research Farm at Gray
Summit, Mo, where he saw many
practical operations to conserve
the nations grain supply.
Stats says it is possible for
most farmers to make great saw
ings in grain, judging by what
he saw at the Purina farm. In
producing meat and eggs, one
bushel of grain can do the job
Of two when fed with proper sup
plements of proteins, minerals
and vitamins.
On this 1873 acre farm in the
foothills of the Ozarks. Stats
saw how turkeys can be raised
and marketed the year round. He
saw sowS which produce an aver
age of Is pigs yearly on two
litter-a-year program. He saw
saw dairy heifers raised on dry
feed ready for breeding at IL tC
Is months.
For more than 20 years, prac-
tical research on this farm has
developed programs on breeding
feeding, sanitation and manage
ment which have steadily in
creased the production of meat
milk and eggs and, at the same
time, made corresponding saw
ing in grain.
