Formosa is based on the all
too often overlooked fact that
it is territory ceded by the
japanese after their World
War II downfall.
Although BIO til Chinese
governments claim the great
island as Chinese, the So
called ultimate disposition"
of Formosa has never been
settled by treaty. In view of
this, the United States holds
that neither Chinese govern
ment, Chiang's or Mao's, has
legitimate claim to the
island.
A promise was made at
Cairo in 1943 to "restOre"
Formosa to the Republic Of
China, but unrest in that
land after World War III and
Chiang's flight to the island
i'm 1949 left it's status un-
settled.
The United States, there
fore, has every right to keep
Formosa out of hands un-
friendly to this Nation and
has so warned those who are
of a different opinion.
Chinese First Settlers
Chinese settlers and refu-
gees first occupied Formosa
in the 18th Century, giving
China at least that historical
fright" to call the island it's
property.
Portuguese explorers of the
10th Century called it "Ilha
Formosa" beautiful Isle)
after first seeing its deep
purple hills and lush green
vegetation. 1t is equally as
beautiful today.
The Dutch in 1924 were the
first Europeans to attempt
a permanent colony on For
mosa. They Immediately ran
into trouble with head-hunt-
ing savages, the resentful
established Chinese and Jap
anese settlers of the time,
and complications arising
from a bitter struggle with
a rival Spanish settlement on
Formosa.
The japanese soon with
drew and the Dutch drove the
Spanish traders away. In
1862 the Dutch themselves
were forced to leave by a
notorious pirate and adven-
turer called Koxinga, a char
acter of Chinese-Japanese
parents.
Japanese Occupy Island
The Manchu dynasty Of
China took over control of
Formosa in 1858 and the is
land remained in Chinese
hands until it was ceded to
Japan after the Sino-Japanese
War of 1895.
The Japanese lost no time
in undermining Formosa and
quickly built railroads, hydro
electric plan is, irrigation
works, ETC., to make the is
land great in the eyes of a
people they ruled from the
beginning with the standard
ruthlessness of a dictator.
In time, the japanese mod
ernized the capital at Taipei
and highly developed indus
tries given to profiting from
such resources as tea, rice,
sugar, camphor and coal.
They were also preparing
Formosa for other things as
the. years went by, a powerful
naval and air base which was
to serve as Japan's spring
board for it's first assault OF
World War II on the Philip
pine Islands-the beginning
of the end for the Land Of
The Rising Sun.

The free throws were had

has no one to blame but them
selves. Time after time the Eagles
lost control of the ball through
their own miscues. There isn't
much time left before the tourna-

still have a long way to 90.
AS was expected the two Mel

three contributed 81 of their

Darrell Sewer each had 20. These

buckets to 20.
In other words Sidney made
IA more points via the field goal
route and still got beat by 8 points.
Maybe this new free throw rule
should be chucked out the win

The game started with Glendive

the charity line. During the first
period they made II free throws
without a miss while Sidney did
mt even have an attempt.
Glendlve had quarter leads Of

In the third period Sidney con-
tinued their superiority in the
field goal department but the
free throw accuracy of the Red
Devils continued to widen their
lead.
Then in the fourth, trailing by
18 points with less than four
minutes to play according to the

to close the gap. In less than two
minutes the lead was reduced to

Power Plus Use
Before Farm Is

Getting electricity to the farm is
only one step in farm electrified

electricity in every possible way to
save labor and increase production,
he says.
The first survey of electricity on
Ohio farms in 1923 showed 1900
farms were served by power lines.
Now more than SO percent of the
states $4,000 farms have power

farms receive power from electric
cooperatives and half from private
power companies.

Don't Take Young
Game For Pets

COLUMBUS, OHIO Young wild
game should be left in the fields
and woods and not adopted as pets
according to a plea from Lester
Bailey, supervisor of law enforce
ment for the Ohio Division of
Wildlife.
On the assumption the young
animals have become lost from
their parents many young raccoon,
rabbits, deer and other wild ami
mails are taken from their natural
surroundings. Even though the
baby seems to be lost, chances are
the mother is close by keeping a
Watchful eye over her offspring.
Wild animals may only be taken
legally during the open hunting
season and adopting" them at any
other time is punishable by max
imum fine of $500 for each such
offense.
Citizens who have adopted"
young animals from the wild are
asked to release them as soon as
possible. They should be released
as close to the place from. which
they were taken as possible. In
any event they should be returned
to suitable cover where they may
shift for themselves and become
accustomed to the many hardships
which are a part of their normal
life.
