Zurich Herald, 1944-08-03, Page 7for SETTER SLEIA.. BETTER D/GE$FION.. BETTER Nixing WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Corn Borer More than 40;000 wasps and lilies, released by the Department of Agriculture are battling in Illi- nois cornfields against the dread- ed European corn borers attacking the crop. Another $,000 insects will e turned loose in a few days. The wasps and flies, gathered in New Jersey, are natural enemies of the borer and are being re- leased in an effort to check the borer increase which already has reached alarming proportions. The winged fighters turn the 'tables on the borers by doing a little boring themselves. The wasps penetrate the body of the borer sing lay eggs in it. The fly deposits eggs on the outside of the borer. Both parasites crawl into the tun- nel made by the borer in the corn stalk to reach their prey. The eggs of the wasps and flies live on the body of the borer and continue to feast on it even when the borer enters the pupa stage. Then, instead of a n'tw generation of borers emerging from the pupa, out comes a batch of wasps and flies to, continue their work. Two different tyres of small wasps are being used and a fly which resembles the common house fly. These parasites have been used with moderate success in the East. Iowa also is using them this year as borers are show- ing up in appreciable numbers for the first time in Iowa corn fields. British Planes Drop Surgeons The Royal Army Medical Corps has parachute surgical teams that have already been in action with great success. The Lancet describes one unit that established itself in a farin building, which had been seized by paratroops. It ran the building as a hospital for two days, while a bat- tle raged around it. During that period the unit performed 35 oper- ations. Thirty-one of the patients later reached base hospitals in good condition. Each team consists of six men, all of whom have been trained to be able to do everyone else's job in the event of casualties among the team during landing. Equipment is designed especial- ly for lightness, compactness and portability, so that the unit can ' move swiftly through rough coun- try, possibly under fire. The unit carries a light operating table with tressels, all presumably collapsible. They also drop with anaesthetics, plaster, dressings, fuel, plasma, pri- mus stoves. Paraffin pressure lamps and electrical headlamps supply the surgeons with light for their work.

THE WAR • WEEK — Commentary on Current Events An Outline Of Lord Vansittart's Twelve Points To Win The Peace The "Win the Peace" 'Movement, of which Lord Vansittart has ac- cepted the presidency, has planned a number of meetings to bring to the notice of the public the 12 -point "peace charter", says the Man- chester Guardian. 1. The unconditional surrender of Germany and of the other Axis and their satellite Powers. 2. The effective occupation of Germany by an Allied Army and Air Force and the establishment of an inter -Allied Council of Control, to be maintained until it is decided by the Governments . concerned to be no longer necessary. S. The arrest and trial of per- sons believed guilty of war crimes in the countries where they were committed. Neutral countries to be requested not to give sanctuary to any war criminals. 4. The complete demobilization and disarmament of all German armed forces, including the surren- der of the German fleet and Luft- waffe; the same procedure to be applied to the other Axis Powers. 5. The police forces in Germany to be regional and free from cen- tral control and to be demilitarized. 6. The abolition in Germany of all military or semi -military train- ing at any age in any form what- ever, including the abolition of the officer's corps and training corps. 7. The evacuation of all territo- ries invaded by the Axis Powers. 8. The restoration of, or compen- sation for, loot, machinery, and equipment removed or destroyed. Also the restoration of, or compen- sation for, commercial and indus- trial interests forcibly acquired or seized. 9. The effective control and where required, the closing dowh of Germany's war potentials, in- cluding aviation in all its forms. 10. No financial loans or assist- ance to be permitted to Germany or to any of the other Axis Powers without the approval of the Allied Nations. 11. The curricula of school and REAL, SMOKES AFTER FOUR YEARS This Canadian soldier, direct from the battle front, shares his ragerettes with French civilians in a liberated village of Normandy. 'Safety First' Good Slogan For Farm university studies to be under inter - Allied supervision and advice until the re-education of the German people is assured in accordance with the principles of international good -will. 12. The German radio and all propaganda to be under inter -Allied supervision for such time as may be necessary. * At the opening meeting in Man- chester Lord Vansittart said it was conceivable that the end of the war might come at any time within 12 months from the coming winter, and we had therefore got to be pre- pared. "Whom are you going to be- lieve," he .asked — "those who know the truth about Germany or those who don't? If this country. for the third time refuses to face the facts you will have a third Ger- man war upon you In 10 years." Watch Your Step Too Many Farm Accidents, Says Collingwood Enterprise- News The cold truth is that the ratio of preventable accidents in agricul- ture is higher than in any other in- dustry, Many hundreds of farmers, members of their families and workers on farms are killed and many thousands injured every year in Canada as the result 'of acci- dents, most of which could have been prevented. With the farm labor shortage just now so acute and when all our production of food is so essential to the war effort, the accident • toll is particularly serious. A survey has disclosed that ma- chinery is the chief source of farm work accidents; that live stock runs a close second and that falls are in third place. The wise farmer is he who learning the cause of accidents on his farm takes steps to eliminate such causes and all possible hazards. For example,y the fact that loose clothing causes one- third of all farm accidents involving machinery should make anyone avoid that particular hazard like a plague. And the ever-present threat of , fire, which annually destroys mil- lions of dollars' worth of rural pro- perty ought to be enough for a farmer to justify devoting at east a part of one morning per month to looking round the farm for fire hazards, too. Prevention of accidents means avoiding making an acute farni la- bor shortage more acute and also means an even bigger contribution 10 food production. Safety first is a good slogan for any farm. It wouldn't have been an acci- dent if it couldn't have been pre- vented... would it! So: Don't try acrobatics in the bath tub. Tack stair rugs down tight and • make sure that railings are solid. Rusty nails often mean lockjaw make certain there aren't • any in your house. Be sure that the rungs on your ladder are sound and let some one hold the bottom when you begin to climb, Don't smoke in bed... the mat-• tress burns quickly... and anyway you'll be asleep before you know It. Train children to put away their toys . . just as much for your sake as theirs. Never let childrennear stoves and keep hot liquids in pans safe- ly out of reach. In a small kitchen, for your own sake too, turn the handles of pots on the stove in towards the stove, not out towards you. Keep all poison bottles carefully labeled and out of the children's reach.
