CHICKENS AND GARDENS WILL
NOT MIX

The government is urging citizens to
plant gardens and to raise chickens.
These things have become more than
matters of mere thrift, they are war
enterprises of importance. But, they
tend to neighborhood disturbances, for
chickens and gardens do not mix in an
;amicable manner. People WHO Rave
chickens might we'll remember that
raising chickens and making gardens
are equally patriotic undertakings, and
that keeping ones chickens out of the
neighbours gardens also is an act of
patriotism. There is also the golden
rule, which has not been abrogated.
However, reliance upon these purely
voluntary considerations seldom works
in general way, and it may be wiser
to have authority exercised. Wouldn't
it be a good thing for the city council
to adopt an ordinance to control the
situation? Although gardening has bare
,ly begun, we have heard many CON-
