New Classes for CGA Men Planned Sunday Morning New basic training classes for recent enlistees in the Coast Guard Temporary reserve are to be held Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in the city recreation building, Fourteenth street and Third Avenue south. Three more sessions are planned for those who have completed the course, to be devoted to signal practice and military drill.

The training program is given under the direction of Chief Training Officer A. L. Wentworth, with the assistance of Chief Boatswain's Mate Floyd Derosia, executive officer of the port, who will make use of the temporary reserve personnel in active duty this summer. The group which has completed basic training awaits only arrival of uniforms to be available for service. It is with the idea of increasing port security personnel that the Coast Guard Auxiliary is carrying on its campaign for additional temporary reserve enlistments.

Commander John J. Mitchell, discussing the drive for increased enrollment in the training classes, said: "The Coast Guards needs men who, because of age or physical disability, are not available armed forces in the army or navy, but who can volunteer their services for port security duty on a basis of twenty-four hours a week without disturbing their necessary civilian activities. The part-time active duty in the Coast Guard of such men is much needed in this war man-power crisis. The Coast Guard believes their services in port security work are even more essential than in other civilian defense activities because of the immediate need for personnel in Coast Guard stations. "The civilian personnel which the Coast Guard plans to induct for part time service is given twelve weeks of intensive basic training which is well worth any enlistees time to take, especially if he is a yachtsman, fisherman or professional seaman, and the regularity of his attendance at classes is an index upon which the Chicago District rating board bases his applications for advancement.

"No man gives up any of his civilian rights or prerogatives in joining this service. Only when he is on duty under order at the hours he volunteers is he subject 10. military discipline. "Temporary reserve duty in the Coast Guard gives the enlistees an opportunity to render patriotic war service in their favorite branch of the armed forces right at home, which is an area as strategic as any on the coasts, due to the iron ore movement. They are assured their services will be appreciated." Children's Clinic At Brampton And Kipling On Monday A pre-school and school children's health clinic will be held at the Kipling school 9:30 a.

35c: SEBAGOS HAVE SCABS, BLIGHT Seed Potatoes Imported From Maine Found Defective Claims that the Sebago variety of potato is both scab and blight resistant are absolutely unfounded. E. A. Wenner, county agricultural agent, declared yesterday. Mr.

Wenner brought samples of Sebago potatoes to the Press office to a support his argument. The a samples were from a carload of Sebagos recently brought into the Upper Peninsula and delivered to Copper Country growers. In addition to scab and blight blemishes, some of the were affected by ring rot. The exteriors looked satisfactory, but the interiors were badly rotted. Fifteen per cent of the sackful of potatoes were defective and the rest were deteriorating rapidly, Mr.

Wenner said. The Copper Country farmers paid $5.55 per hundredweight for the seed potatoes. They bore Maine state certified seed labels, but they were defective nevertheless. Wenner said. Mr.

Wenner advised that farmers would be better off to buy Michigan grown potatoes for planting instead of importing purposes. Maine. The price is lower and there is more assurance of getting a quality product, he added. Michigan certified Russet Rural seed potatoes, for insta.ce, have been selling at the $3.85 ceiling price.

The great preponderance of naval and air strength which we are building up in the Pacific will make the northern approaches more and more vulnerable for Japan as the months pass. Censorship Hides Story Censorship as thick as the fogs of the Aleutian spring hides the progress of what may prove one decisive actions of the war. We know that United States forces landed on Attu Tuesday (the Japanese, a day ahead in time call it Wednesday) and that fierce fighting ensued; we had Secretary Knox's assurance last night that the operation was "going very satisfactorily." It is obvious that we have thrown a formidable task force in all air. navy, land forces. into critiarms.

cal enterprise. It we make it good the initiative in the North Pacific will definitely have passed into our hands, just as it in the South Pacific when Guadalcanal was wrested from the enemy in that grim six months battle. Attu should not be as tough a nut to crack as Guadalcanal. The garrison of Kiska, nearly 200 miles to the east, is in no position to lend any aid of importance, and the nearest Japanese base on the west Paramushiro. me at the northern end of the Kuriles, 763 miles away.

Kiska In Trap The American navy pr mably has gone into this undertaking with sufficient force to cope with any move the Japanese fleet may make and would welcome any sortie by the enemy from his northern sea bases. The Attu move brings home to the Japanese command the fact that it has at least three naval fronts to defend, the already active South Pacific, the newly dangerous North Pacific and the Indian Ocean, which flare into bitter combat this summer 88 the may, allies gather their forces for an Autumn campaign to recover Burma. Japan's seapower is not unlimited and the question of its division to meet this multiple threat must be giving Admirals Nagano, Yamamoto and their fellows some sleepless nights. The first and most obvious result of the seizure of Attu will be the isolation of the far stronger enemy base on Kiska. The Japanese on Kiska actually have been in a trap ever since the southern arm of their great Pacific sea-air pincers was broken at Midway last June.

The few thousands who landed then in the western tians were left like tenacious sea creatures clinging to the rocks when a great tide breaks and runs out. With Attu in our hands the fate of the Kiska garrison of some 10.000 will be sealed. A few foghidden ships might run the blockade but not enough to make much difference. When Kiska falls the American forces will be ready for the next stride, which may reach the Kuriles. From there the main islands would be within comfortable bombing range.

These days it is almost forgotten that nearly a generation ago Attu was in the world's headlines the jump-off spot for one of as the historic crossings of the Pacific Ocean, the first airplane flight from American to Japanese territory. Three United States. army planes--two of which completed a a a a a a a circuit of the globe hopped from Attu just 19 years ago this mid-May season and landed at Paramushiro. That passage made the Japanese keenly aware of the nakedness of their northern defenses against the new factor in warfare, the airplane, and Paramushiro in subsequent years was made a powerful outpost. Attu and Paramushiro may figure again in a historic passage of the North Pacific, as stations on one of the roads that "lead right to To see that you and your family get the benefits of ADDED vitamins and minerals- -serve ENRICHED NORTHLAND BREADS The very essential Vitamin B1 and minerals have been added to these healthful breads.
