Camp White If you've been slap-happy recently trying to ward off droves of mosquitoes all aiming to dive-bomb select sections of your anatomy, here's good news: Nearly 10.000 acres on and surrounding the reservation are being covered in a. mammoth mosquito-control project directed by Capt. Howard E. Elmer, chief of the sanitation branch on the post, and Capt Virgil M. Lan caster, post engineer. In cooperation with represent atives of the U. S. public health service and the Oregon state public health department, both permanent and temporary meas ures have been taken, Capt. El mer said Included in the project is all territory, except private property, within a radius of one mile from any barracks on the post. Several farmers have been co operating in practicing mosquito control in their areas. Methods Used Methods used to control the in sects include drainage, which is a permanent measure, and oil ing of standing waters. This oil ing process must be repeated once every seven to ten days the period of time It takes a mosquito to develop from the egg stage to the adult insect. Included in the waters oiled are seepage waters, irrigation waters and streams through the territory. The Rogue river and 3 !

A forest flro which ten men could surround and kill would laugh at one man even Sam son and go roaring into the next county. Ten days later, 1000 men might be needed to check it. On the forest-fire front, the man-power shortage is acuti and in a special way. Beyond willingness and strength and skill all needed to battle heat and mountains and underbrush numbers are required. But the young, vigorous, experienced forest men men who last year or the year before were ready to help federal and state forest agencies have gone to war. This year, those of us who remain at home can't say "Let George do ir" George is in New Guinea , , . Italy . . , the Pacific . . . everywhere the war is. When it comes to fighting forest fires, the Georges can't do anything about it. But we can do something. W'c can olicy those rules ttxy body knons.Yc can cover every campfire . , extinguish every cigarette . . . break every burnt match (you singe your fingers if it isn't out) , . . natch every spark. We can make up for fewer fighters with fewer fires. When It comet to fighting forest fires, one man can't do the work of ten not afterward. But, beforehand, one man and he needn't be Simson may do the work of 1000! .Merely by putting out that cigarette! Mcrclv by cohering that camp fire!

' ' ' Oil, which is applied by spray ing from a knapsack sprayer or by drip cans, kills the mosquito in the larva stage by its toxic effect. Capt. Elmer points out that mosquitoes can breed in the water setting in a small tin can or even In an animal's footprint, so it is essential that drainage be as complete as possible. Some Taken "Prisoners" . Certain adult mosquitoes are captured and sent to the Army radical Museum in Washington, D. C, for identification. In this way the sanitation branch may know the species of insects In the area and may carry out proper control measures. Lt. Edmund Coach, Jr., also of the sanitation branch, has em phasized that the proper screen ing of all buildings is essential to mosquito control. He has urged that all GIs keep windows and doors securely screened and in eood repair.

Chicago Munition Retreat Held By Soldiers Near California Mission By Jean Irving United Press Staff Correspondent Camp Cooke, Cal. (U.R) With packs on their backs, 1,000 Catholic soldiers of the 11th Armored Division marched on a recent afternoon to the vale the Indians called Amu for a week end religious retreat, unprecedented in the annals of military history. The soldiers, who voluntarily. registered for the three-day re treat at the old Spanish mission La Purisima Concepcion, were in full field dress. Only weapons were missing from the military array. Moving with the soldiers were huge field kitchens laden with vast food supplies which- were set steaming as the pilgrimage group bivouacked on a hill over looking the mission. Pup tents and shelter-halves were raised in precision-straight lines by men trained in maneuvers, who turned the hillside into a field camp. The retreat, held In the trag edy-scarred halls of La Purisima was witnessed by Col. W. W. Yale, the Thunderbolt Division'! chief of staff, and the Catholic chaplains of the division, who originated and planned all save its strictly military aspect. Men seeking religious retreat in the shadow of walls that once sheltered their founding fathers, knc"'. on tiled floors beside wood pegged benches identical with those where Indians once knelt. There they heard the opening address by Father Valentine, Passionist Father of Los Ange les, director of the retreat. Reveille called them from their pup tents the following morning to mass, conference and benediction. And when the day's devotions were over, priests walked among the offi cers and enlisted men at )hc bivouac site, meeting with and talking to the soldiers. At high mass, held on Sunday, the most Rev. John J. Cantwell archbishop of Los Angeles, offi elated, assisted by the Rev. James Dolan, archdiocesan di rector of USO-NCCS activities, and Father Lahart as deacons of honor. The celebrants were garbed In the 120-year-old vest ments worn by the Franciscan padres of the ancient Santa Yncz Mission, established a few years before La Purisima.

Following the mass, the sol diers gathered on the mission grounds immediately outside the chapel for address ending the retreat. With the benediction of those officiating and with their packs once more on their backs, the soldiers left the bivouac site for their 14-mile trek back to Camp Cooke, carrying with them words that differed little from those spoken on the mission grounds when the land belonged to the Indians, DINAH BACK Hollywood, July 24.
