And that, of course, is when the German Generals sought to |end it, by overthrowing the Nazi hierarchy. | Therefore, to the extent that the fighting for the llast half year and more has been not so much to achieve victory but to impress defeat upon the Ger- man nation, one might regard this as the unnecessary | {period of World War II. The continued German resistance was only in the interest of the Nazis and |others who had reason to feel that surrender would mean immediate retribution for their crimes against Europe and the 1est of the world.

So Pepper sent his secretary, Bob Fokes, to the War Production Board in an effort to obtain some DDT—the super-powerful insecti- cide developed for the armed forces but thus far not available for civilian use. Fokes was told DDT is still unavailable for civilians, even at a Senator’s request . But WPB referred him to the Department of Agriculture, where Fokes finally was given a small quantity of DDT, “for experimental purposes.” Pepper immediately | shipped ‘the insecticide to Florida, and a few days later Le Favre | wrote to say that the army of ants “has entirely disappeared” and that his wooden leg had been saved.

(Copyright 1945) | JUNEAU BOY SCOUTS GIVE THEIR THANKS On behalf of the six members of the Flaming Arrow Patrol, Dale; Roff, patrol leader, wishes to thank the people of Juneau for giving the Boy Scouts jobs and buying the birdhouses so that they earned the $15 for each boy during the last three weeks. This provides for 10 days at the Eagle River Camp. Since the date for camp was made defin= |’ ite only three weeks ago, the boys have cleaned yards, painted fences, ! cleaned basements, run errands, etc. Often they worked until 10 p. m. and were also often late to dinner, which, mothers did not appreciate. The winner of the bird-house- building Contest will be announced Friday.
