Show THE SENTINEL. MIDVALE. UTAH Friday, May 18, 1945 Page Seven RATION POINTERS H Grant Ivins, district director of the 0 P A in Utah announced V-E day that "until the supply of articles which are now rationed reaches such a point as to justify uncontrolled distribution, we shall put forth every effort to administer the rationing program as it is delegated to us. Until congress decides that price control is no longer necessary, we shall vigorously fight every tendency toward infl<ation. n Dealers may now charge warranted maximum prices for used motor trucks and other commercial vehicles only in sales to users on a warranted basiS, the 0 P A announced today. Beginning May 16 no dealer may sell used trucks or other commercial vehicles to a dealer or other general seller at prices higher than "as is" ceilings. The new amendment establishes a spread between the prices dealers may charge each other and the prices they may charge consumers, thus providing a margin of resale profit for placing the car in a warranted condition. Two valid shoe stamps will be given American civilians repatriated from enemy prison camps upon their arrivel in this country, the 0 P A stated. Many civilians released from internment camps do not have any shoes and are therefore eligible for special shoe rations under the provision that any person not owning 2 pairs of wearable or repairable shoes may apply for an extra stamp. By leaving airplane stamps 2 and 3 in war ration book 3, both the exinternee and the local board will be saved a lot of trouble. Boards must obtain approval from the deputy administrator for rationing to leave the stamps in the book. Retail sales of loose cigarettes of any brand are now prohibited by the 0 P A. Also from May 12 to Nov 12, 1945, retailers who formerly sold 2 packs of economy cigarettes per sale may now make single package sales, thus permitting wider distribution. The current shortage of standard brands resulted in a tendency among some retailers to sell cigarettes loose. Twenty cigarettes sold one by one cost the consumer 20 cents. Todays prohibition is aimed at eliminating unnecessarily h12"h prices. The bureau of labor statistics survey of Salt Lake City, con~ sidered !J.y that agency the representative city in Utah, reveals that stocks of meat and lard were smaller in mid-April than in midMarch, but supplies of margarine were larger. All grades and cuts of beef were available the day the survey was made, but over 90 per cent of the city's stores had no veal or mutton. While adequate supplies of lamb chops and roasts Were found in March, 31 per cent oi the stores had none in WHAT TO DO ABOUT ENOUGH FENCING? tJet a ~I•LVIW ELECTRIC FENCER 'UI~ P~Ut and Solve Your Fencing Problems IMMEDIATE DELIVERY AT mid-April. Less than 10 per cent of the stores had bacon on hand in April. Lard was much more difficult to obtain, 62 per cent of the stores having no stocks in April as compared to 7 per cent in March. Information concerning supplies in chain stores is not included; this data being obtained from central warehouses a n d therefore is not comparable with the information from individual independent stores. Only 6 new 1942 cars were allocated to Utah for the month of May. This is the same number as was allocated in April. At the last count only 3 new 194.2 cars remained in Utah's stockpile. Eligible drivers will have to go out of the state for their new cars when these are sold. It becomes increasingly important that motorists watch their cars carefully and make minor repairs at once. INSECT PESTS GIVE SPRINGTUWE TROUBLE TO VICTORY GARDENS Insects have always been the chief enemies of man, and this rule is no exception in the victory garden, stresses Dr Arvil L Stark, US A C extension service victory garden specialist, who adds that the inexperienced gardener will be overwhelmed with the long list of pests that attack vegetable crops in Utah. In Utah, from 25 to 35 pests are listed as being serious enemies of crops, but all of these pests never occur in the same locality or jn an individual garden. Two or three prests often become serious in the garden plots, while others never reach the point where they cause worry for the gardener. Insecticides provide the most common means of controlling common garden pests. Hand-picking offers another method of controlling larger insects such as the tomato horn worm, squash bug and Colorado p0tato beetle. Keeping down the weeds around the garden is another effective control method. "For most garden pests, however, a good duster or sprayer should be used in applying insectidde to the crops for the con lrol of insects,'' he points out. uFor some of the smaller insects this provides the only method of control and hand-picking is, of course, out of the question," the garden specialist emphasizes. An early pest on spling crops is the flea beetle, which is troublesome on tomatoes, potatoes and beets. It is a small, shiny, black bug that moves by quick, jerky movements, and is usually found on the outside of leaves. Rotenone dust consisting of .5 per cent ratenone is effective in control, and care should be taken to apply dust to the unders 'de of the leaves. Another pest that is very bothersome on such crops as peas, cabbage. caulifiower and some times beans and other vegetables is the common aphid or plant louse. This is a little soft-bodied green or brov.rn bug which congregates ino large colonies, usually at the top of the growing portion of the plant or in the case of cabbage in the ceni.er of the head. There are several materials used in control of these plant lice, but the one which will work with most vegetables is nicotine sulfate. Fresh 4 per cent nicotine dust is very effective in control and can be purchased ready-made. If the home gardner wishes to make it up himself, all that is necessary is the a dd ition of one ounce or 5 teaspoons of nicotine sulfate or "black leal 1orty" to 1 pound of hydrated lime. Put the sifted lime in a tight can and add severaL stones to aid in mixing and then pour the nicotine sulfate over the Ume. Shake and rotate the can until the material is thoroughly mixed. A liquid spray consisting of 1 tablespoon of nicotine sulfate dissolved in 1 gallon 'Of soapy water in which 2 level tablespoons of soap DakeS" have been n1ixed is another effective measure for controlling plant lice. A .75 p'er cent rotenone dust is more satistactory than the nicotine compound for controlling plant lice on cauliflower or cabbage, he concludes. Wh~n excess ttomacb ac.ld eausee paln{Ul, 1750 S.

CA TFISHING HITTIN' ON UTAH LAKE Despite alternate favorable and unfavorable weather, the angler hardy enought to brave uncomfortable weather now and then is reporting fine catfishing at Utah lake. Best reports have been received from those anglers possessing boats, and it seems the "cats" are staying about 100 feet from the shore most of the time. Veteran fishermen report the "cats" are averaging almost a foot long, which would be the best fishing in several years at the popular lake. Marion 1\.Iadsen, chief of fisheries for the state Fish and Game department, warns that only the so-called "mudcat" may be taken legally from Utah lake and that the "channel cat" is protected by law. MFRS. TO PRODUCE NON-SOLUBLE PAPER American paper manufacturers have in store for postwar consumers a paper that can be soaked and scuffed yet still remain durable for many hard u:ses and provide a legible surface for pen and ink. Europe has long bad the 11 exclusive'' on the process that makes this possible, and Nazi armies had an advantage over their enemies with their paper-made rainproof maps, weatherproof camouflage, pup tents and general-purpose weather protection. Now the inventor, J Scherak, a Czech engineer, is in this country, and the paper industry is ready to transplant non-soluble paper manufacturing to the United States. Products will range from inexpensive paper raincoats to tarpaulins to cover freight cars in transit. The U S army is already using this paper for maps and charts. trial plants. 2. Establish, where practical, adaptable new industries, through local initiative. 3. Overlook no opportunity to develop the agricultural possibilities of the community. 4. Develop and increase local service enterprises, expanding them to meet the growing needs of the community. MANUFACTURERS EQUIP SCHOOLS Used machjnery and equipment for training youngsters in shop work have been made available to the vocational schools of the Philadelphia through efforts of the local education-industry cooperation committee of the National Association of Manufacturers. A committee was appointed to learn what machinery was available when school officials pointed out that due to lack of funds, as well as equipment shortage, it was impossible to equip schools properly. Lathes of various kinds, drills, monitors, grinders, pressers, starters, drill presses, sanders, jointers, band saws and gasoline engines as well as an Ediphone receiver, transmitter and shaver, were included in the equipment turned over to the schools. Beginning in :::Jiay, an average of 1000 persons lose their lives each month through drowning, the National Safety Council reports. This monthly average continues through August. Every SUNDAY Afternoon NELSON YOUTH "SOLD" ON FREE ENTERPRISE American youth is convinced that this nation's system of free enterprise is the best in the world, the Manufacturers Association of Meriden and Wallingford, Conn, discovered as resu1t of an essay contest conducted among high school students on the subject, "Why I Will Stake My Future with American Industry." "Here any able man with faith in himself can start his own industry and make it a success," one prize winner declared, adding, ulndustry is America's greatest asset." Another contestant declared his willingness to go along with the American system because ''the worker who prepares for his job and works industriously and honestly can make of his life what he wishes." • WITH ARMBRUSTER'S ORCHESTRA IN Station KSL at 2:30 p. m.
