Friday Nov. 17. 1944 NEWS FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN K, GRANGER FROM OUX W. Buzz Bombs For Japan. We have ell heard and read of the havoc brought to the (English people by notorious' buzz bombs or robot bombs, g which are morf of a instrument than death dealing, although they have done considerable damage to property in England since they have been projected oyer the channel. There its speculation that these same robot bombs, Carrying American trade marks, may be used against the Japanese as our war an the Pacific progresses, with great effectiveness. The German VI tpye bomb has been salvag ed and pieced together by Wright Field engineers and this fall isome ten major aviation plants were assigned the job of manufacturing the robot bombs. They are now being tested in defense practice with their engines, gyro control ordnance war heads, and aviation assembly. So this may be one of our future moves against Japan. Japans most serious weakness in her war machine appears to be her merchant shipping. Today Japans merchant d tonnage is not much more than of her 1942 tonnage, in 1000 ton ships. They have been able to offset this great loss in a small part by build ing large numbers of small wooden vessels. Japanls tanker tonnage has been so severely cut down that some of our naval experts believe the lack of fuel may be one of the oauses of the weakness shown by the Japanese air force. Other factors include their poorly trained pilots, technical superiorities of the American carrier-bornplanes and insufficient radar. McArthurs strike against the Central Philippines is a preliminary to our invasion of. Formosa or Luzon, which are essential for future strikes agairist the Jap mainland itself. General McArthurs invasion of the Philippines came two months earlier than was tentatively scheduled in the early summer of this year, and there are isome indications that the war in the Pacific is moving too swiftly for supplies and reinforcements to catch up with it and that is one reason why it is not too dptimistic to hope for an early end to the war there after the conclusion of the European war when Allied forces and equipment will be transferred to the Pacific theatre to engage the enemy. , morale-shatterin- onp-thir- IN TIIE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST .JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IT'D IN FOR TIIE COUNTY OF RICH BOYS AND GIRLS IN PATIENTS IN WORLD By Twila Kearl. letter was recently received from Eugene Hanney, a Merchant Mstrine boy, who had stopped for a brief stop in Ecotland.

SAILOR WRITES HOME Dear Folks: Taking time out to drop you a few in lines. I am sitting on the fan-ta- il the shade trying to write this. I just hepe you Qan read it. We are laying about 200 yards off shore. There is a big cliff off our star ooard side. straight up and is covered with deep green trees and :u. hes all the way up, with white chalk cliffs breaking out here and there. It Jocks just like some parts of Logan canyon except for the fact that some f tl e trees are palms. The water is blue and quiet with boulders and strips of sand and looks just like Bear Lake. There are a lot of things like these that remind me of the country around home; although most everyone thinks Utah and Wyoming are just sage brush and desert.

EDITOr on-th- All farmers are urged to anticipate their alafalfa seed needs now and purchase local seed before this years limit- ff Its plenty hot the last week, thats ed supply is exhausted, according to Tracy R. Wellings, - .Chairman . State Board of Agriculture. Commissioner Welling points out that due to an extreme short crop' of alfalfa seed in the Intermoutain and Plain States every available pound of western alfalfa seed has several buyers. Utah will produce under two million pounds of alafalfa seed this year, of which around one million pounds is needed for our own planting needs. Due to a brisk demand for seed in the consuming areas much of this years crop is rapidly moving out cf the state. Unless Utah farmers act immediately and purchase needed amounts of seeds for next year hardy, locally grown alfalfa seed will be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Farmers should not purchase southern or imported seed without first consulting their County Agriculture Agent or District Agriculture Inspector as to its Growers of alfalfa seed should be extremely cautious of purchasing nonadapted alfalfa seed if they wish to receive maximum prices for their seed in the future. -- why the water is so calm.

Emphasizing the morale of soldier patients, an Army nurse who has served in Africa and Italy said that often the first wordis murmured by a man brought into a field surgery was an apology for the fact that he had been unable to shave and wash. Often they just ask the Army nurses to speak to them, to stand beside their beds for a few moments. They havent seen an American woman in months and the knowledge that they are being cared for by Army nurses speeds them on the road to recovery. And while the Army nurses praise the morale of the soldiers, the men are equally .to pay tribute to the nurses. Private John' J. Taggart, a combat engineer from New York City, injured by a booby trap during a preinvasion rehearsal in England, told how a nurse saved his sight when a piece of brass lodged in his left eye. Before I went to sleep I heard a medical officer commend her ingenuity Taggart said. She had placed me flat in bed and propped my head in place by putting sandbags on either side so I couldnt move it. The doctor said she saved my sight because if I had moved my head the piece of metal in my ey would have ripped it and they couldn't have saved it.
