THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 3, 1944 r BETTER SLEEP... BETTER D/GESTtON.. BETTER HEALTH! Dr. Chase's Nerve Food WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING * Corn Borer More than 40,000 wasps and Bits, released by the Department j of Agriculture are battling in I Hi-- s cornfields against the drcad-j «d European corn borers attacking the crop. Another 5,000 insects will be turned loose in a few days. The wasps and flies, gathered in New Jersey, are natural enemies ef the borer and are being released 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 aii'l lay eggs in it. The fly deposits «ggs on the outside of the borer. Both parasites crawl into the tunnel made by the borer in the corn Italk to reach their prey. The eggs of the wasps and flies Hve on the body of the borer and tontinue to feast on it even when the borer enters the pupa stage. Then, instead of a new generation of borers emerging from the pupa, «ut comes a new batch of wasps and flies to continue their work. Two different tyjes of small wasps are being used and a ily which resembles the common house fly. These parasites have beefl used with moderate success Jn the East. Iowa also is using them this year as borers are showing 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 farm building, which had been seized by paratroops. It ran the building as a hospital for two days, while a battle raged around it. During that period the unit performed 35 operations. 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 especially for lightness, compactness and portability, so that the unit can 1 Move swiftly through rough. country, possibly under fire. The unit carries a light operating table with tressels, all presumably collapsible. They also drop with anaesthetics, plaster, dressings, fuel, plasma, primus 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 accepted the presidency, has planned a number of meetings-to bring to the notice of the public the 12-point "peace charter", says the Manchester Gxiardian. 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. 3.

The German radio and all propaganda to be under inter-Allied supervision for such time as may be At the opening meeting in Manchester Lord Vansittart said it was conceivable that the end of the war might come at any time within ^8 months from the coming winter, and we ha,d therefore got to be pre* pared. "Whom are you going to believe," he asked -- "those who know the truth about Germany or those who don't?

Many hundreds of farmers, members of their families and workers on farms are killed and many thousands injured every year dents, bc< i the i ^■alt < : of ^ ;nted. ich mid have 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 machinery 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, the (act that loose clothing canses one-third of all farm accidents Evolving machinery should make anyone avoid that particular hazard like a plague.
