AWAAAACh eHcn SGaGe.
 The chief executive of each state is put right square in the lime-light. He is supposed to pick, in each county, men representative of the various interests of the community who know something about the folks of their community. This is impor- tant.
 MUST WATCH
 KEY FACTORIES
 For instance, the whole life of a small town might revolve around one big factory situated there. If. the local draft board allowed that fac- tory to de deunded of too ma1y of its key men by the draft, the plant might have to- shut down or slow up production with bad results for the town. A board which knows all the conditions will take precautions against this. This conforms with President Roosevelt's announced de- sire that the draft shall upset the life of the community and the na- ton as little as possible.
 The governor in picking the men for the various local boards will have the eyes of the voters upon him. If he picks bad men or palys politics with the appointments, or anything that smacks of machine building, he will be storing up for himself a lot of trouble the next time he bobs up for elective office.
 But an even bigger mess of trouble is being worked up for the governors if certain proposed plans are approved.

States. In the matter of national defense, it is vital that the people be fed and that there be wool and cotton for clothing. Now two of the most important times in the year of the farmer are his harvest time and his spring blowing, , POLITICAL
 TIGHT ROPE
 It has been proposed that farmers of draft age be deferred, for the time being, when the various har- vest seasons set in. Thus, in most of the southern states, there is the per- iod when cotton is picked. In Ken lucky, Virginia and North Carolina there is the time when the tobacco leaf is cut. In Illoinis and Iowa and some of the adjoining states, there is the period when the corn crop is gathered. In tn northwestern states there is wheat. In California; there is the grape harvest.
 Now if calling of men is to be deferred for these reasons, the gov- ernors will have two jobs:
 1--Tos allocate to the cities a part of the quota of drafted men, while the harvesters are busy in the coun- try.
 2-To allocate to the agricultural counties a part of, the quota when the harvesting season is over.
 The governors, if this plan goes through, will have to walk del- icate tightrope. They must not ap- pear to favor the country as against the cities, nor later, to favor the cities as against the country.
 There's big possible loss of votes in that procedure.

THROWING MUD AT
THE NEWSPAPERS

Many attacks have been made upon
the press during recent weeks and
most OF them can be traced to a few
hig-shot politicians in Washington
who might very well be spared from
the public service when the new Ad-
ministTation is finally charted.
There are several hundred news
writer's in Washington who repre-
sent every class of publications
printed in the United States. There
are perhaps 10000 publications. Your
Washington correspondent has been
a member of this fraternity for
great many years and l want to tell
you something that is common in the
experiences in the daily lives of all
recognized contributors to the press.
There comes TO the desks of all of
these men advance news releases,
some of which cannot be used for
several days. This practice of the
Government has existed for several
generations. And yet of the tens OF
thousands of advance news releases
| never have known of an instance
where the confidence and trust of the
has ever been violated
or the items printed before the date
set tc release them. Where else can
you look to find such a wonderful
moral?

RAINBOWS OF HOPE

a new Chairman Of the National
Labor Relations Board has been
chosen. The nominee is DR.. Harry
A. Mills, of the Chicago University.
Other changes are being made in the
Board, and as result it will be re-
organized and very likely strength
ened. The CIO and AFL leaders,
Messrs. Green and Lewis have been
very critical of the BOard-perhaps
even more so than industries and em-
ployers. -ts1 Isl
AS the Labor Board has proceeded
on its quarrelsOme way in recent
years Congress has made attempts to
change the laws under which it ex-
lists. Back of this long fight power
ful politicians have insisted that the
Board should be given time to work
out its own problems. There is a
hope in Washington at this time chat
the new group headed by DR.. Mills
will overcome prejudices and prac-
tices, and get down to brass tacks
and give everybody a fair play in the
arrangement of collective bargain
ing agreements. Such a plan might
be successful. If it does not give
speedy results then the amendments
already approved by the House, may
be c0ncurred in the Senate.
The chances are that labor dis
putes between industries and labor
unions are approaching happier
days" and that 1941 will restore
good deal of the old time partner
snip and recognition of mutual in
terests between employers and EN-
plOy ees.

HIGHWAY TO BETTER

dent Of the National Association OF
Food Chains, recently. ANY future
emergency will demonstrate the val
ne of the chain store system. Food
chains have pioneered in the past
to reduce cost. minimize waste, and
serve the economic needs of the peo-
pie. They have contributed to social
welfare by providing more food and
better balanced diets within the
means of lower income groups. They
now will accept the challenge to
maintain the standards OF living by
preservation of quality standards and
protection of values in times of
emergency as well as in their Ordi-
nary day to day operations"
The extraordinary demands now
being made upon Onr industrial
structure must inevitably create dis
locations in our normal economy
And any great national effort of this
kind is, to some degree. inflatiOnary
in trend. The price tendency i'm all
fields is definitely upward. The rap
idly increasing burden of taxation
must sooner or later be reflected in
higher costs all along the line. 1t
is true that government is attempt

Increases dOwn-it is also true that
even government cannot work mir
acies in the face of tremendous eco
lOmic pressures.
Thus, the work of the chain store
industry, and of all other progress

To quote Mr.. Logan again.. the II

SPORTSMEN REPORT
GAME VERY SCARCE
Severe Winter OF 1939.4O Believed
TO Have Killed Game

Sportsmen report that since the
opening of the quail and rabbit sea-
son they have had but little snc-
cess. Nearly every one reports that
game is the scarcest that it has
been for many years.
The severe winter Of 1939-40 is
believed to have killed of much
game, because it prevented rabbits
and quail from getting food. An
other reason, it is believed, is that
foxes are devouring much of it, es-
pecially rabbits when they are
young. Recently a hunter in the
Rehoboth section reported that while
he and a party were cunning that a
gray fox captured a rabbit running
ahead of the dogs and scamDered
through the woods with it. He
states that they are so plentiful in
that section that they will come into
the barnyards and attack the poul-
try flocks.
Dogs running at large during the
spring and summer months capture
a lot of game, in the opinion of
many people doing as much harm as
the fox.
