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.

"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. -

Insecticides derived from Rotenone-Lethane mixtures have proved deadly
to these cabbage worms which chew up 20 of all cabbages produced,
destroying over four million dollars worth of cabbages annually.
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

Insect ravages. 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.
