GREAT POINT LIGHT
WILL BE REBUILT

Congressman David J. Ward has
been informed by the Commandant of
the United States Coast Guard that
Great Point Light in the vicinity of
Crisfield, Maryland will be rebuilt in
permanent form during August.
The Great Point Light buoy was
carried away by ice last winter, and
was replaced by temporary light,
which was unsatisfactory and was al
so destroyed shortly after it was built
with the loss of lighting equipment.
The Commandant informs Mr..
Ward that the station is now marked
with a special nun buoy with red re-
Electors, which it is believed will serve
reasonably well until the permanent
replacement is effected.

S. Hoover, director of the Wyoming
State Department of Welfare, "other-
wise the entire program will collapse
and the people who are now receiving
assistance in one form or another
will find themselves in more pre-
carious condition than if the program
had never been initiated"
The conference was sponsored by
the Alfred p. Sloan Foundation thru
the University of Denver. This foun-
dation sponsors at the University of
Denver a Department of Government
Management for training graduate
students as governmental analysts.

Steel reels, loaded 1Cith cable, are
here being "wrapped up" for ship
ment at Western Electric's Haao-
thorne Works.
A familiar sight for decades on city
streets from Maine to California, the
wooden reels carrying Western Elec-
trio cable will gradually be replaced
by an all-steel reel which, besides be-
ing sturdier, actually weighs less than
its wooden counterpart.
At present there are two standard
members of the steel reel family, one
six and one-half feet high and the
other five and one-half feet high.
Smaller sizes will appear as the CORE
spending wood reels are depleted.
Though made of steel, these reels
weigh 100 pounds less than the aver
age of the wood reels they replace.
Steel reels were originally developed
to reduce high maintenance cost Of
large wooden reels used for shipments

smaller reel was designed for ship
ments of long lengths of toll and tape
armored cable.

Education Is
Necessary For
The Government

Only education of the citizenry to
the responsibilities of government will
solve what, some have termed "the
present dilemma" in the running of
the various subdivisions of govern
mental machinery.
Summarizing week of assemblies
and round-table discussions in Estes
Park, Colorado, at the second annual
Citizens Conference on Government
Management, which closed Saturday
night, leaders in business, law, educa-
ton and even public officials admit
ted inadequacies in present proceed
ures of running national, state, county
and city affairs.
Every one of the delegates was
agreed that government "by the peo-
pie" was the backbone of democracy
but not in the sense of necessary
evil"
One speaker pointed out the effic-
lent operations of government in the
United States after the establishment
of the country because most every
citizen had a part in it. But as the
country grew, as we'll as the func-
tons of government, the adminiStra-
tive powers became in the hands of
few-and in many cases in the hands
of those not qualified.
Charges Of graft and corruption
in the handling of State and city
affairs have been the result of plac-
ing unqualified persons in high posi-
lions, it was argued.
Although the general trend of the
conference was positive approach to
getting better government under the
democratic system, Rupert F. Asplund
Director of the Taxpayers Association
of New Mexico, was quick to point
out that "since politics governs the
selection Of BUR officials, it follows
that competency in administrative
agencies is not general"
Mr.. Asplund referred to the re-
mark once made by J. Edgar Hoover
that now as always public enemy No.
1 was old man politics."
In the direction of improving the
government of New Mexico, Mr.. As
plund told of the establishment at the
last session of the State Legislature
of merit commission which has jur-
isdiction for setting up standards in
the various fields of the government.
This is expected to raise the level of
competency in vital local government
al services.
Continuing, Mr.. Asplund raised the
problem of the shortage of revenue
such as exists in sparsely settled
State as his. But, he declared, "our
problem of adequacy to the needs of
the community can be solved by an
informed, intelligent citizenship"
Many of the speakers praised the
work of Independent citizens research
groups which have probed govern
mental affairs and pointed out to the
public through the radio and press
the need for measures of efficiency
and in some cases reorganization.
Stuart A. Baxter, Executive Direc-
tor of the Citizens Tax League of
Ohio, Inc, told the results obtained
in his State through research studies
and of resulting recommendations to
State officials. A "follow-up bar
rage" of publicity and letters to Off
Gals was effective in bringing about
recommended changes, he said.
Relief in its various forms came
in for considerable discussion. It

The present European war is the

the yellow section where it officially
belongs.
One can spend an almost un-
limited amount in purchasing the
big bold red-cupped varieties, for
they are still comparatively scarce
and high-priced. Fortune continues
at the top in popular favor and the
gradual drop from $3.50 to $3.50 per
bulb has brought it to many gar
dens. 1t thrives best in a medium
loam; on light sands Helios may be
as good or better. Among the all

all of which are desirable and offer
considerable range in period Of
bloom, color, and price.
Croesus is probably the best low
priced variety of good size and
quality that has red crown. Box
hara, Calf, Garibaldi, Hospodar,
Merkara and Red Cross are among
the best of the moderate-priced
yelloWS that have an orange or red
crown; likewise Killegrew which is
likely to become a popular market
flower. John Evelyn appears to
have the edge in the bicolor section
because of the double -frilled edge
to beautiful apricot-orange crown.
1t is an exhibition-type flower Of
high quality. Francisco Drake. an
informal flower of new type, is
also outstanding and group of
dozen plants is very noticeable in
the garden. Bernardino, and
WhiteWell are old and reliable;
Alceste. Dick Wellbrand, Estelle,
and Milford Haven newer and
better. The only reason for grow
ing Will Scarlet is because OF the
fiery orange crown and the fact
that it is one of the latest daffodils
to bloom.
In the Barrii division, Baths
Flame is valuable because it Is about
the first to open. 1t is a big, yellow,
rather fioppy flower. Market Merry
is nearly as early. very highly
colored and possesses all the char
acteristics of an ideal show and
market flower, but its price is way
beyond the reach of most growers.
Alcida and Diana Kasner have size,
color and quality, and Red Gaunt-
let, while little smaller but more
highly colored, make a trio of late
mldseaSon varieties that are very
reliable and prolific.
In the bicolor Barrii section may
be found some of the most snowy
and highly colored daffodils. The
white-petaled flowers are generally
of medium size g to inches in
diameter) and borne on tall, wiry
stems in great profusion. They in
crease rapidly and are very valu-
able for cutting and garden display.
Two varieties that have rapidly
come to the front are Lady Diana
Manners and Penny-Come-Quick.
Firetail, with its fiery red cap, Is
most popular. whereas Red Beacon
with its bright red-edged cup, and
Queen of Hearts are still largely
planted. Newer and larger flowers
knocking at the door for popular
favor are Charter. Cinderella, Dra-
COON and Muriel Bibby. Sunstar
is of the highest quality as we'll
as the latest in this section to
flower.

Use Only Suitable
Seeds This Autumn

1t will pay handsomely to see that
only suitable seeds are used in your
fall seedlings, according to F. S.
Holmes, who is in charge of the
State Seed Laboratory at the Uni
verSity of Maryland.
In selecting seeds, he suggests
that three things be kept in mind.
First. whether the seed will produce
the kind, or variety of plant wanted.
Second, whether the lot of seed is
free from noxious weed seeds and
plant diseases. And, third. whether
the eplant-producing capacity of the
lot of seed is such that the usual
seeding rate will provide enough
plants for normal crop under ia
vorable conditions.
Mr.. Holmes says that all seeds
bought from seed dealers should be
tagged as required by State and
Federal seed laws.

crowded in the space between the
rows of corn.
1t was from the Chinese and
PaIisians that Mr. Colladay gained
inspiration. Already a confirmed
gardener since the age of II, he
chanced three decades ago upon a
book that told of productive Paris
market gardens and the Pacific
Coast truck farms run by yellow
men who sometimes grew $500 in
vegetables to the acre. Mr.. Colladay.

Go to his planned quarter acre

vegetables thriving among the now

beds. In February and March these
beds will be occupied by seedlings
ready to be popped into open
ground at the breath of spring. The

tion-each vegetable has time Of
arrival and a time of departure,
with another vegetable scheduled
right behind.
During the World War 1t looked
as if Gardener Colladay might con-
vert all Washington to his system
of cultivation. He gained the chair
manship Of the local War Gardens
Committee and put this urban popu-
lation to farmers work under q
Federal program to make each self
sufficient in vegetables. The Gov
ernment's idea was that the draft

long distance transport was tied up
in defense work and that farm
grown food should 60 to the Army.
Chairman Colladay even captured
apartment dwellers and handed
them hoes to weed public gardens
in Potomac Park and along the
Anacostia River. But the war was
over soon, and the public, which had
scarcely grasped the essentials of
the Colladay system, lost interest.
Mr.. Colladay thinks it looks now
as if something like this may be re-
quired again. if the defense situation
tightens up. But he thinks of the
intensive gardening scheme as es-
sentially a peacetime project for
raising standards of living and bet
tering health.
He now lets his chauffeur and
greatest disciple, Otis Jackson, do
much of the physical labor in his
own plot, but in earlier days he dug
up every spadeful of its earth. He
says that man can grow enough
vegetables to supply a family of
four persons by spending two hours
in the garden three times a week.
The most annoying retort that
you can throw at Mr. Colladay is
the declaration that vegetables can
be bought cheaply at the grocery.
He insists that the finest foods
are the most perishable. and there
fore not purchaseable at any price
on the market.
Where, for instance, could you
buy Mr.. Colladay's Pomodora to-
matoes, Utah celery. Danish red
cabbage, or kohlrabi. that delicious
vegetable which looks like a turnip
standing up on a stem?"
