LPays tribute To work of AP Gorrespondents

NEW YORK, April 20—(AP) — Dcspiie 1lll1)l‘(‘f‘C(i0lllU.i difficulties, peril and hardship, correspondents of Tnc Associated Press carried out their task of reporting 1940s world- shaking events “promptly, discern- ingiy and without bias."

Crcnvrul lvlnunuer Kent C0Oper, in his annual report made public to- day, said “the story of what they did and wnut they endured deserves i to live as long as there are newa- ' pa rs.”

Putting the achievements of the service overseas, both in news and pictures, "at the forefront of the year's efforts," Cooper said that; “war reporting is no longer a prize for swivel-chair journalists." and that "no tribute which the mem- bership could possibly pay them would balance the sum of devoted and courageous conduct of these soldiers 0f The Associated Press."

The goncrni manager declared| that no previous year in the history i 0! YIBWS-Enthering and news photo coverage ever imposed more cliffi-l cult responsibilities any staff of edi- l tors. reporters and photographers.

“From so much meritous service- il; would be difficult. to select sing. 1e instances for individual commen- . dfllfon." COODEI‘ said. "The honor roll embraces the complete roster of the staff assigned to an embattled hemisphere. There are no wealslings among them.”

Th¢ effectiveness of Boy

cieswas again demonstrated in the

record of acts for which 16 Scouts

were given like saving awgrd; dug». ing 1940.

Troop Leader Patrick Yemen. l7, of Caproel. ‘Ont. provided m orig- inal exampe of resourcefulness when rescuing an 8 year old lad who had broken through the ice. An atteprnt to reach him with a ladd. er had failed. and there was :10 ro available. Then the hurri 1y searching Scout. found a. length of garden hose. Promptly he secured this round h’s waist. and swam out to the boy. He was able to sup- Dflrfi him until firemen arrived and both were brought ashore.

An unusual eXTrTlDle of stout cour- age and persistence was that IlWIi by Patrol Leader Elwood Pomeroy. 15- of Prescott, Ont. In tho rescue 0i 11 YOUNG?!’ boy. who had been Overcome while swimming. The ‘ad was badly frightened, and during 1‘- struggle Yo control nim. he kicked his rescuer violently. breakin arm. Notwithstanding this Scout. continued his efforts and finally got the frantic boy ashore.

Two brolhers- Patrol leader Jack 31111011111111» 1'7. and Scout Roy Run- clrmm. 14. shared an effort to rescue two young men who went down swimming in the St. Lawrence river Jack made a diving recovery of one of the men. and got hlm ashore, where Roy silccessfully applied art- ificial respiration. After some search the body of the second swimmer also was found. but too late for rea- (oration.

Other summer water rescues in- cluded two bv Wolf Cuban-Bryce Russel‘ of Toronto who saved an-

riculture. ‘rhrlps can fly consider. able distances and readily migrate: from plot. plot. in this wnyi Blbfeaxiinpout. over a. fairlv wide, area. This note of warning is di-, rooted chiefly at. the home pardcnrr‘ who is in the habit of “tukinl! .a. chance”. 110M112 that even tlioirgnl, his corms have received no sueciall treatment the bloom will escape damaae by thrlps. This is a. risky practice and in fairness to himself and to his neighbors should be dis- continued.

Althouizh the planting season is rapidly approaching there is ample time yet to treat. all corms. provid-

e proper method is selected. Fumigation with naphthalene, prob- ably the most. commonly used treat- ment, would be unsuitable at ' , time of the your for several reasons but dipping tne corms in corrosn/el subiimate would. be safe and would give excellent results. Growers are advised to adopt this method where no action has previously been taken.

Corrosive sublimaie (mercury bi- chloride) is diluted at. the rate of one ounce to six gallons of walcr and used in the form of e. dip. It can be purchased at. most seed houses and drug stores and. usualiv comes as a. white powder or in tab- lets. If tablets are used, growers should remember that. only a small percentage of each is pure corrosive sublimate; the exact 1yro",:ni'i.i01'iv.'i.l be given on the container. and im- less allowance is made for this fact, when prebarinc the bath, the solu- tion produced will be imdel" strength and only a pcrceniaizc oi‘ the thrics killed. This insecticide dissolves, very slowlv in cold water and , process can be hastened consider“ ably if a small amount of not wafer is first used and l-ne liquid futon diluted with cold water to the cor- rect. strength. Corrosive sublimafe

should be dissolved only in wooden. Eng W 0.. postumously for rmtdninq gall-

zlass or earthenware vessels as qulcklv loses its value if lL comes in contact with metals. It is (ieodl poison if taken internally and in“. greatest care must be exercised in i use. The bath is used at coom temperature. or at about 70 CléilTf-‘LF

Other notable feats were the res- cue f-rom a unoke filled home of a. dead. partially bind and almost helpless old lady by Scout Stewart Lawson 14. of ‘Toronto; and the prompt application of a fbumiquet to e. badly lacerated l and thus saving the life o-f a mo orman 1n- jured in a street car accident. These iirst. aiders were Scouts Gordon Clarkson, 16. and Wilford Locking, 15, of Si. Catnerines.

Courage of another kind-forti- rtude during continued suffering in addition to the consistent dis- ay of other hIgh characteristics -brougl1t the award. posthumously. of the Cornwell Scout Badrzo to King's Scout Colin K.

An inquiry from ‘London for Boy Scout. fcxtbooks in French has been received at Dominion Scout Head-

u impeeleu. As repeated v-fg-‘fle, weakens the concentration of die‘ bath and reduces its value as an in-, secticide, corrosive sublimate solu-i tion should be used only ones and‘ certainly not. more than twice with- out renewal. Besr. results can be. expected only Where clenn. fresh llouid is employed.

Treatment with corrosive subli- mate can be advantageously demv- ed until lust. before DIBIIUIIR. Y0- movinz the corms from the dip, and placing them while still wet in mg soil. This saves the HOWE!‘ the, trouble of drying them as yvould be necessary if the dlDDlnfl WW6 w!" rled out earlier.
