Here is a boy from Eastern Slovakia who lost a leg in a mine field. He is being cared for through the aid of American Churches, as a child returned from a German Concentration Camp. On their return the children usually have nothing but tattered clothing and footwear, and are without coats, sweaters and stockings. The blankets they are wearing were all that could be provided upon arrival. Now Churches are sending tons of warm clothing to help a need which seems insatiable. Scientists Tell of New Chemicals Which Make Future of Red Spider Look Black Red spiders or red mites, which are among the major pests in Orange county and other southern California citrus groves, face a dark and uncertain future, according to information available to Orange county growers this week. A compound known chemically as bis (p-chlorophenoxy) methane with the identifying code name of "K-1875" and which will be on sale next summer as a 40 per cent wettable powder under the trade name of "Neotran" was described by L. R. Jeppson of the Citrus Experiment station this week as "very toxic" to citrus red mite in all stages including eggs, and its residues remain toxic or a comparatively long time after applications to foliage or fruits. But a compound was described this week by G. T. Bottger, entomologist in charge of the insecticide testing laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on East Vermont street, Anaheim, as even more toxic to red mite or red spider than "K-1875." Chemically, it is diethyl p-nitrophenyl thiono-phosphate, or "Thiophos" for short. Since the Anaheim laboratory makes no field tests, Bottger would not say much more about Thiophos than that it is more toxic to certain insects including red spider, than anything he had tested recently and was not damaging to plant tissues, but the manufacturer had enough confidence in his product to put it on the market. Since "K-1875" has been applied to 1,400 acres of citrus trees in 150 groves located in all major areas where red mite is a pest, more information was available concerning it this week. One fact disclosed was that under practically every kind of weather that has prevailed in the past two years, no injury to citrus trees or fruit treated with the compound was evident. No loss of toxicity was found to occur when K-1875 was mixed and held in storage with most of the insecticides fungicides and deficiency treatments used on citrus. No plant injury or loss of toxicity to red spider was found when the normal dosage of K-1875 was mixed in the same spray tank and applied to citrus with cryolitel, nicotine sulfate, derris or cube, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, soda ash, lime, Femate, Zerlate, and oil. Jeppson quoted the Dow Chemical company's biochemical research laboratory researchers to the effect that the compound was the least toxic insecticides to warm blooded animals they had ever developed. It did not give satisfactory control of citrus bud mite or citrus rust mite and Jeppson said it appeared to be non-toxic also to most beneficial predators and parasites in which most citrus growers are taking an increasing benevolent interest.

Traffic Cops Soon to Discard Motorcycles (Western News Service) The California Highway Patrolman's motorcycle is on the way out, Clifford E. Peterson, patrol commissioner, said today. Peterson's department is rapidly retiring motorcycles and substituting new cars as fast as they can be purchased. By July 1, 1948, he hopes to have the number of motorcycles in the patrol reduced to 275. Officers work more efficiently and safely in cars, Peterson believes. The new cars, also those now in use, are being painted white, and this time, the paint will cover the front and rear. Peterson said patrol officers will no longer set traps for the lawbreaker, but by constant presence on the highway, will serve as a warning, and cut traffic law violations. ...New GREYHOUND Service Corona - Econdido - Bishop no and Services Formerly Operated by INLAND STAGES are now part of GREYHOUND LINES now offers you more service than additional service for your travel These new routes round out Greye in the West...providing a new, between Reno and Los Angeles and route between Los Angeles and now offers you more service than additional service for your travel.
