The paraplegics at Army's England General Hos pital last fortnight published the first issue of a tiny, one-page newspaper which asked editorially for "one centrally located hospital to treat all such cases."

His frontiersmen must chop out clearings for future Brazilian towns, must fight pumas, oncas (panthers) and the tamanduá, a giant ant-eating bear with a head and neck like a horse. They must convince Indians that an influx of settlers will be good.
