8 Heppner Gazette Times, June 1, 1944 Brownie Scouts in Summer Program "Por Goes the Weasel" was the new pinping game played the Brownie Scouts at their meeting Wednesday afternoon, Mav 24. Thirty Brownies were there besides the leader Mrs. Harold Cohn, as sistant leaders Mrs. O. E. Ferguson and Mrs. Harold Peck, and the troora committee, Mrs. Elbert Cox, Mrs. Elton Robinson and Mrs. L. E. Dick. Games were played out side, then refreshments of Dixie cups and cookies were served to the Brownies by the troop commit tee and leaders. The Brownies have held 10 meet ings since they were organized in March. During the school year the meetings are held in the music room at the school. In many ways this room has been ideal for meet ings as it has a piano and radio phonograph, and a floor large enough for indoor games, panto mimes and folk dances. Next year the leaders and troop committee hope to have a locker in which to keep equipment for arts and crafts, and a table to work on. Bi'ownies have local dues of 10 cents a month. As in any other or ganization these have to be paid during the summer months of June, July and August as well as school month if the Brownie expects to continue in the troop next Sep tember. From these local dues the next year's national dues of 50 cents a member will be paid. The rest of the money will be used for supplies as scissors, crayons, art papers, etc. The next meeting of the Brown ies will be held in the American Legion hall at 2 p. m. Wednesday, June 14.

Tompkins Asserts Japs Not Wanted "Dillon S. Myer, director of the War Relocation Authority, may be of the opinion that the Japanese evacuees should be returned to the West Coast as soon as the military situation warrants but his opinion does not reflect that of West Coast farmers," stated Morton Tompkins, master of the Oregon state grange, Monday when apprised of recent testimony of Mr, Myer before a House appropriations sub-committee. "Ever since the Japanese were evacuated from this area we have been urged by the war and navy departments to refrain from taking action which might jeopardize the welfare of American prisoners in Japanese hands. We have abided by this policy but it seems that while we have been refraining from mak ing our position in this matter clear, sentimental sob sisters from other parts of the nation have been laying the groundwork for returning these evacuees to this area," Tompkins asserted. '"Ihe published statements of Mr. Myer, suggesting the return of Japs to the West Coast, cannot go un challenged. We would like to have Mr. Myer and those who take sim ilar views know that Oregon, Cali fornia and Washington are still a part of the Union and before any action of this nature is taken we want to have something to say about it," Tompkins concluded. - PARTY SCHEDULED An apron sale at 2 o'clock p. m., cards at 2:30 and tea are scheduled at the parish house Saturday after noon, June 10. Both contract and pinochle will be in play and the public is invited to attend.

A synthetic insect-killer promises :hia season to avert widespread de struction of essential U. S. vege table crops threatened by acute in secticide shortages and to play an ncreasingly Important role'in con ;rolling crop-destroying worms, bee tles, plant' lice, and leaf hoppers which In 1943 devoured $37,500,000 worth of vegetables. Last year this powerful insecticide, known as Lethane 60, replaced an estimated 2,000,000 pounds of war-scarce rote none roots the standard pre-war insecticide used to control such in sects as plant lice, Mexican Bean Beetles and Diamond-Back cabbage worms. But in this decisive year with natural insect killers harder to get than ever, leading vegetable growers report they will rely even more heavily on this rotenone "stretcher." Developed hefore Pearl Harbor by the Rohm & Haas Company of Philadelphia, this synthetic permits dust mixers to cut the rotenone con tent of their vegetable dusts in half and still supply an Insecticide as deadly to insects as pre-war straight rotenone dusts thus saving pre cious supplies of these valuable roots. The War Production Board has restricted its use to essential requirements, but there will still not be enough to protect crops from FORMER RESIDENT VISITING Miss Bess Hudd'eston of San Francisco has been visiting for a few days this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. .Claude Graham. Miss Huddleston, who had come north to attend the wedding of friends in Portland lived in Heppner a num ber of years ago when her brother, J. B. Huddleston was station agent. Miss Huddleston is leaving Friday for her home. SMJE POSTPONED The auction sale announced for June 7 has been postponed until further notice. M. N. Kirk.

However, it is be lieved that by "stretching" supplies with the Lethane concentrate grow ers will be able to make the avail able rotenone tonnage fill their needs. Rotenone has been widely used since ancient times by South Amer ican natives as a fish poison. Be cause of Its paralytic effect on fish, they float to the top of the water and are easily caught. Before the war rotenone-bearing roots were imported from Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, but when Jap battle fleets cut off supplies from the Far East, South America's lim ited production became the sole source of supply. Despite record plantings in Peru and Brazil during the past few years, limited quanti ties only have actually reached this country, for two or three years are required between planting and harvest. Thus, with the War Food Ad ministration demanding 428,000,000 acres in orops this year an in . ase of 12 over 1943 growers ..re finding Lethane 60 a valuable ally. This synthetic has undergone three yoars of testing by large gro r-s and Agricultural Experl .ne.jt Stations throughout the coun tr; , which has proved Its value and safoty as an Insecticide.
