Boy, those kids could have been riding in a Rolls Royce and they wouldn't have felt nearer Heaven. We have enjoyed reading a copy of an army publication from somewhere in the Philippines. We note that the editor is none other than Sgt. Bob Winkel. The little publication covers many branches of the news and pulls no punches. Bob, you might rib your sports editpr on this one: "THINGS WE'LL NEVER. FORGET." "Remember way back in 1941 when people were more interested in baseball than they were in throwing: hand grenades. When you spent Saturday afternoon wrapped up with some beautiful doll cheering your favorite football team to victory, or Sunday watching the Cube trounce the Browns while you ate a good old American hot-dog?

Importing natural eneihies to feed on insect pests is cheaper than other methods of control and requires only m relatively short time to show definite results. The American tropics with their equable climates furnish the parasites extremely favorable growing conditions. One of the most successful biological control projects was the introduction of the citrus blackfiy into Cuba and other Middle American areas.
