Pointing out that the failure
to fully utilize existing equip
ment for civilian roud-bulldiug
will work hardships on all local
governments undertaking road
building and mulntennnco work,
tho government division of tho
war production board , today
urged tho highway commissions
which havo not already done so
to adopt tho plan for pooling of
road machinery and equipment
Initiated by tho division several
weeks ago.
As tho season for road con
struction and repairing is draw
ing near, some; commissioners
aro faced with the problem of
obtaining necessary equipment.
Tho problem is not the result of
any lack of equipment; a survey
of construction equipment own
ed by local governments shows
thoro is enough such equipment
within each state. The fault lies
in inndequato use of the equip
ment, somo of it being Idle in
one place when it is urgently
needed elsewhere. ,
Tho pooling plan Is designed
to remedy this, making all
equipment available to all local
government! within each state.
The plan was initiated to re
duce requirements for road

Corvallis, April 16 OP) Flee
beetles are out earlythis sea
son and are already finding
Victory gardens far enough
along to devour, says Dr. Don
C. Mote, entomologist at the
OSC experiment station.
Poison dust applied weekly
for three consecutive weeks
will usually give complete con
trol if applied as soon as the
bugs appear, Dr. Mote said. Ro
tenone is preferred, but if not
available either calcium arse
nate or cryolite at 40 per cent
strength are fully effective. The
last two are also poisonous to
man and must be thoroughly
washed off where tops are to
be used less than 15 days after
the application.
A train passenger is now
three times as safe as one who
used that mode of transporta
tion in 1893.
All people hope for the best,
but have you noticed how many
more people are working for it
these days?
