Redskins Win Final Grid Game, 26 to 13 The Lowell Redsk ins took the

field for their annua l Armist ice Day tussle with Grandvil lc last Satur-day, as a distinct question mark . The 26-13 victory, however, speak? well of the f ight ing qualit ies of a f ine bunch of a thletes , and s t rves as a t r ibute t o coach Burch who overcame one in ju ry a f t e r another to place the locals In second place In tough Grand Valley competit ion.

The Lowell t eam scored once in oach period against a scrappy bunch of Grandville Bulldogs. The f i r s t m a r k e r came in a spectacular manne r when Beachum broke through to block a Grandvil le punt , and Schneider, local center gather-ed in the oval and raced over for the f i r s t touchdown. Collins broke loos# on a long run and was hauled down just short of a touchdown, but scored a i r . plays later, on an off-tackle amasn. Lowell lead 13-0 at hal f t ime.

At this period, D e H a m m e r of the visitors, a f t e r being near ly trapped behind the line, reversed the field and ran 60 yards to cut the Lowell lead. 7-12.

Collins, runn ing in old-time form, came back to score again in the third quar ter . Lowell 's f inal touch-

DREAMS O F CONQUEST

A M B I T I O U S MEN and nat ions have dreamed about conquer-

ing many countries, and mak ing themselves masters of g rea t sub-ject populations. Always those em-pires built up by mi l i tary power have fallen apar t .

So it has proved of the d ream which the German Nazi and J a p w a r m a k e r s conceived. T h e y thought tha t by superior mi l i tary power they could a t t ack peace lov-ing nations before they were ready to fight, and make them subject to the conqueror 's will. Those d r t a m e of conquest under-rated the desire of men fo r freedom. The people of the United Nations have been willing to f igh t and devote their whole power to preserve t h a t f ree-dom. F u t u r e years will never see the d reams of conquest realized

aguln.

Of course we smile a t p ic tures of the duster that k?pt the clothes clean f rom the dirt of unpaved roads, the caps and goggles, the high-seated autos t ha t clumsily je rked along wllh noise and puffii. Bu t | i g h t now, every month of these war years, fewer automobiles are riding the highways. Near ly 4,000,000 of them were sent to the scrap pile in the pas t two years. Since It appears to be some t ime before new models will be avail-able, motorists might wisely take care or even a 1902 model wi th its duster and side cur ta ins might look

good!

Find Ca l i fo r tva Ind ians

M e r g i n g W i t h W h i t e s Since the days of '49. the Cali-

fornia Indians have tended to mix and merRe with the white Ameri-cans. This ts due principally to young folks, pnrticularly women, moving away from the regions their ancestral tribes occupied and re-settling In a reas of dense American population.

The majori ty of California Indian tribes were never reservatlonized, as was the case elsewhere in the United States, but were left to merge as best they might. Thus a tendency to drif t from the ancestral habitat made headway against the basic inertia and conservatism of Indian tribal culture.

Now, more than one In eight has moved to predominantly white areas. The ra te has accelerated in recent years because of the depres-sion of the 1930s, and th« stimulus of war employment, and probably will run to completion In a few gen-erations.

Few Indian men mar ry outside their own people. However, many Indian women mar ry men of other races, and move to centers of agri-culture and industry. The California Indians remaining in their home areas average 68 per cent Indi&n blood, analysis shows, while those who have migrated to other rural a reas average 41 per cent, and city dwellers less than 37 per cent Indian blood.

Cover U n d e r s i d e of

Fo l iage in Spray ing Cover both the under and upper

surface of the garden foliage, since many insects, particularly the bear beetle, live and feed mostly on the under side. The most practical gar den sprayer is a two or three gallon compressed air sprayer with an ex-tension rod and angle nozzle to allow spraying the under surface of leaves without stooping. In small gardens fair results can be obtained with a one quart hand sprayer that gives a "continuous" spray and has a two-way, or adjustable angle nozzle. The small atomizer hand or fly sprayer.*-are unsatisfactory for garden use.

The Insecticide should be meas-ured carefully with a set of measur-ing spoons kept for this purpose. To insure thorough' mixing first shakt the mater ial with a small amount oi '

Vine Crops Vegetable vine crops are all ten-

der. They should not be planted until the ground is warm and danger of f ros t is over. A sunny exposure and a light soil are best for the vines; and they need plenty of water and food, because they grow BO fast, snd produce so much. Cucumbers, squash, pumpkins and melons a rc the principal vine crops. Kvpn the small garden can grow eome of them. Cucumbers ahouid always be tried, if there is space. The early varieties m a t u r e in two months, and they can easily be re-strained to a reasonable space. Pinch off the ends of the vines which grow too f a r ; this will st imulate the setting of fruit.

Blanket Storage Store your blankets in the coolest

place you have. Don'c pile sheets, quilts, or comforters on top of them as it crushes the nap.

Clean your blankeU before you put them away. Brush them often to remove dust and lint and to keep the nap fluffy which makes for bet-te r insulation and warmth. Always brush lengthwlee of the blanket, never across. Sunshine and air will help bring up the nap.

Mend the thin worn places before you store your blankets, and If there is need for a new binding too, don't wait until winter comes again to»get the job done.

Air Frequently If you do not plan to store your

woolen garments in bags, boxes, or special closets, by all means, hang them outdoors often and brush them thoroughly. Moth damage to clothes and household goods is something over $100,000,000.00 a year . Poor housekeeping is largely responsible for this—woolen clothes and fur t r immed garments are left hanging in closets all summer long, full of dirt and grease spots which is food for moths. They a ren ' t even cleaned, aired, or tunned. Moths do not b ^ ' m cleah Sttf ttcnts. And don ' i b t s t ingy with moth balls and mttth fumigants .

nition and equipment to keep the destruction of war f r o m these shores—for the fertility

of our lands and the continuous endeavor of our farmerH in furnishing food to feed our

soldiers, our allies and the starving peoples of Europe—and yet plenty to keep us well

and healthy in America. These are indeed miracles of production and hard work fo r

which to give thanks, but let us remember that OUR COJJNTRY IS STILL AT WAR. It

Honor Memory of Lieutenant Edinon J. SuUlvan

The many friends of Johnny Sulli-van in and around Alto might be interested to know that his parents,

Ir. and Mrs. John Sullivan of Ionia i-rccivod the following article from The Sight Seer", a paper publlsh-

od by the 63rd Infantry of which .0 was un officer, until b h death Vugust 2r«.

The article entitled "Sullivan". Field" read as follows: "The 68rd . ii fan try athletic field which will e used the first time this af ter-loon (Oct. 19) Is to be dedicated o the memory of 1st Lieutenant Idlson J. Sullivan former Company Commander of "H" Co., and will enceforth be known as Sullivan 'ield. Here In New Guinea It Is ir,t often possible to pay tribute to hose men who have made the nipreme sacrifice, and It Is fitt ing ind proper that the regiment take lils opportunity to dedicate a mem-

orial to an officer who so well ex-implifled the best traditions of the \merlcan competitive spirit.

Lt. Sullivan, an officer, an ath-et; , and a gentleman, would prob-ably be pleased to know that the aen of the regiment have honored Ii i memory In the field of sports, which he loved so well."

5/gn of 0 good housekeeper! QURE, there's a cobweb on that door. O In p. moment it will be gone with a

flick of the duster. But right now, it's a sign of good housekeeping, for it shows that an unused bedroom has been closed off to save heat.

There's going to be some shortage of coal delivered to homes this winter. This isn't because less coal is being produced. More coal is being mined this year than

last. Mine owners and miners alike are doing a splendid job. And there are ample

rail facilities for transporting coal.

But certain grades and sizes of coal

are needed for war production. And, in addition, your local coal dealer is suffer-

ing from a shortage of manpower, trucks and tires. So be patient with him and

isake thecoal you get go as far as possible.

Be sure your heating system is clean and in good shape. Fire carefully. Pull your shades and draw the drapes at night. Close off unused bedrooms. For other suggestions see your coal dealer.

One of the biggest jobs of the C&O Lines is hauling coal from the mines along ita routes, so we're in a position to understand the problem and to know how essential coal is these days.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS. . .

"Mary and I were just Baying, Judge, how lucky we are here in America that we have so many natural resources 10 help win the war."

"That's right, Jim. When war broke out we had oil, we had steel, we had food, lumber, aluminum...practically everything we needed. There's one thing we didn't have... inhbtt. The enemy had that."

"But that didn't bother us for long. Soon American brains and industry had synthetic rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That filled a critical need . . . you can't win a war without rubber."

" I was very much Interested the other day in reading a statement made by a high gov-ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he said * It is fair to regard the rubber manufac-tured to date as being almost solely th^ prod-uct of the beverage distilling industry.'" " 'He also said that, in his estimation, the

tremendous contribution of distillers' indus-trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program had not received the recognition which it deserves."

"We certainly learned something today, didn't we Mary?" -

SIMIGHIIMK ABOUT THE

AS WE MOVE closer to victory, it wouldn't / \ be surprising if you were saying to

4 \ , yourself—"What's the big idea of asking for ail this additional money now? Isn't the war almost over?"

No sir, it is not! Not by a long shot. Of course, for many months now you've heard mostly about the war with Germany, where our greatest effort is concentrated. That's why many people have the idea that the war's practically over.

But make no mistake about it—nothing could be farther from the truth! The Japanese war is a tremendous undertaking, and victory will come high. We'll have to fight every inch of the way.

Everything Costs More—

In the Pacific War

The European war is expensive, but al-most everything in the Pacific war will cost more. Take transport costs, for instance: Be-cause of the longer distances, the same amount of freight costs 25 per cent more when shipped to tl.e South Pacific than to Europe. And it takes twice as many cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of a given size because turn-around time is twice as great!

More Planes. . .Tanks. . .Ships. . .01!

In addition, we shall need more of every-thing. More B-29 Superfortresses that cost $600,000 each. More P-47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each. More M-4 Tanks, with

bulldozer blades, that cost $67,417 each. More amphibious tanks—more aircraft carriers-more supply ships—more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion of Europe!

.Care for the Sick and Wounded

And lect anyone forget, we shall need more battalion aid stations—more clearing stations —more evacuation hospitals—more convales-cent hospitals—more hospital ships.

For many, many years the sick, wounded, and otherwise disabled veterans will require medical attention and care. That's the least Uncle Sam can do in appreciation of what they've done for us.

Maintenance for Millions

Did you ever stop to think how much money it costs to maintain the 11 to 12 million men and women in our army and navy? Whether the men are actually fighting or not, they must be fed, housed, transported from one training center or battle area to another, cared for in a hundred and one different ways. That all costs money and will continue to until the last man demobilized is back in civilian clothes.

In addition, millions of dollars will be re-quired for mustering-out pay, for various ben-efits and services voted by Congress to help the boys get started in civilian life.

These are reasons enough why patriotic Americans will want to buy heavily during the Sixth War Loan. But here are still more—

Winning the Peace- for Your Country

If we're to win the peace as well as the war, the cost of living must be kept down and the purchasing power of money preserved. A rcck-less inflation that would necessarily be fol-lowed by the catastrophe of deflation—with its unemployment, bankruptcies, misery and heartache—must be prevented at all cost.

Let's make no mistake—a dangerous period lies ahead. The American people have nolhing to fear, however, if they show in the future the same common sense they have shown in the past, and continue to put every penny over

rock-bottom expenses into the purchase of

more and more War Bonds.

Winning the Peace—for Yourself

Want another important reason? Yours?!f: There isn't a better or safer investment in the world today than War Bonds. In helping your country, you are also helping yourself! Never in our entire history has it been so necessary to save as right now. We'll need money, in-individually, for education, repairs, replace-ments, retirement—and we'll need a lot of it.

As you can see there are many reasons, important reasons, why our Government must have the financial support of everyone, and have it for many months to come.

Let all Americans do their part —for their own sake, for their country's.

N. Y. Tests Fluorine as Check on Dental Decay

Two New York communities and the state health department are co-operating In a long-range public health demonstration that may give city residents painless protection against tooth decay, an almost uni-versal disease affecting practically the entire population regardless of age, sex, race or economic status.

By using one city, Kingston, as the control and the second. New-burgh, as the study area the New York state health department hopes to prove conclusively that mass re-duction in dental caries (decay) can be effected at a normal cost by the simple expedient of adding proper ' amounts of fluorine to public drink-ing water facilities.

Investigations on the effects of fluorine on tooth structure have re-vealed that there is an inverse ratio between the number of dental cavi-ties and the presence of fluorine in the drinking water during the years of tooth development (the firs' eight years). Where the fluorine content of the drinking water was about one part per million there were six times as many children free of tooth decay as there were in areas with a zero fluorine content in the drinking water; there was a 60 per cent lower occurrence of de-cay in the fluorine water area, and a 75 per cent decrease in first per-manent molar loss. Where the fluor-ine content of the water waa more than one p a n per million there was white or brown mottling of the enamel and in severe cases the enamel was pitted. It has been found, however, that concentrations of fluorine not in excess of one part per million are sufflcient to protect the teeth appreciably without caus-ing mottling.

New Rust Preventive Compound! Developed

War experience and research have resulted In the development of new rust - preventive compound! that greatly exceed the effectiveness of crankcase and transmission oils or even axle and pressure gun grease.

Tests started in March. 1942. and run under outside exposed condi-tions. using polished black metal strips and plow bottoms, gave the following results:

Crankcase and transmission oil prevented rusting for 7 lo 30 days.

Axle and pressure gun grease pre-vented rusting for 30 to 90 days.

Five samples of rust-preventive compounds prevented run ling for 360 days.

One sample of rust-preventive compound prevented rusting for 453 days.

On the back or protected side of the metal strips 22 of the 28 rust-preventive compounds tested showed no rusting after 551 days.
