The scrap rubber is being collect ed by the nation's gasoline filling stations, transported to central collection points by petroleum in dustry trucks and sold to the Rub ber Recovery Corporation. Filling stations are paying a cent a pound for the rubber. Under-Secretary of War Patterson reported army and navy crude rubber require ments during the 21 months after April 1, 1942, will be 800,000 tons, compared with the present U.

THE WAR FRONT The navy announced the Japan ese "have made landings on a small scale on Attu Island, at the extreme tip of the Aleutian Ar chinelaeo and ... Japanese ships have been reported in the harbor of Kiska in the Rat Group." Con tinuing army and nary aircraft attacks have forced the enemy to retire from the populated regions of the islands, the navy said. These U. S. attacks are continu ing, despite unfavorable weather conditions. The War Department announced arrival of additional units of the U. S. army, including negro troops, in the British Isle. Results of the Coral Sea battle showed U. S. naval tank forces and land-based bombers sank one enemy aircraft carrier, three heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, two destroyers, several transports and small vessels; seriously dam aged 20 additional vessels and shot down more than 100 enemy planes. U. S. losses were the aircraft car rier Lexington, the destroyeT Sims and the tanker Neosho. In the battle of Midway Isand two of the largest enemy aircraft car riers were sunk, two other medium- sized carriers were sunk and at east 250 Japanese planes were "To hasten the drying-out pro cess, the trees can be cut down and left untrimmed for two or three weeks. This cuts the trees off from the sources of the water supply in the ground. Still, the leaves continue to draw water out of the tree." Barker says this method of har vesting timber will result in dry ness equal to three months of usu al seasoning. The trees should be left on the ground, untrimmed, for two weeks in the summer for all kinds of trees, and three weeks in winter for pines. After the "sapping out" period, the wood can be cut into lengths desired and handled in the usual maimer. The extension forester's office is urging that rarmers prepare 10 use wood instead of other types of fuel for their home needs this vear. This will help to relieve war-time shortages oi transports tion of coal and fuel oil. Farmers also can find a ready sale for sur plus wood in nearby towns and cities," Barker predicted. FREE!
