IS PROSECUTED IN
P
Nearly 10,COO Acres on and
Surrounding Reservation
Covered in Big Project.
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

Wh
fhen It comes to fight
ing forest fires, one man work
ing ten days can't do the work
of ten men working one day
not even Samson, the strongest
man ever.
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

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

Little Butte creek are covered
in the process. ' ' '
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.
The mosquito control project
here, which was begun a year
ago in March, is the only one of
its kind in this part of the coun
try. Men working on the project
are Pvt. Haggman, Cpl. Schleef,
Pfc. Boatman and Sgt. Feldt.

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.

long-corrldored mission echoed

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,
