CAMPAIGN no AID PEACH
PRODUCERS

Plans have been completed for an
intensive national merchandising
campaign to help Maryland peach
growers move a bumper crop rapidly
into consumption throughout the
balance of the marketing period for
this fruit, the A & P Tea Company
announces.
Harvey Baum, general manager of
A & P's produce-buying affiliate, the
Atlantic Commission Co., said the
campaign was mapped in response
to requests by growers, who point
out that Maryland's peach crop this
season will probably total 100000
bushels, compared to 10-year av-
erage of 348,O00 bushels.
Indications now are that early
crop shipments will end during the
first week in August, with main
crop shipments beginning around
August Is, he said.
Total U. S. production this season
is expected to reach 66,102,OOO
bushels, 20 per cent over last year
and one of the most abundant crops
III TcCtuL years, II was Drought OUT.
"The availability of such album
dant supplies of top quality peaches
presents housewives with an unusual
opportunity to build fall and winter
reserves now through home canning
programs, and this fact will be
stressed in our special advertising"
Baum said.
The companys peach advertising
fund of $4,000 represents an ap-
preparation over and above the
amount being sent to promote fruits
and vegetables of all kinds in A e.
P's summer "Nutrition-for-Defen
campaign, according to the an
nouncement.
Baum explained that the overall
produce campaign, which has boost
ed movement of these foods through
A & p stores more than 23 per cent
in the first four weeks, follows rec
concentrations by federal nutrition
experts who say people generally
should double their consumption of
fruits and vegetables to maintain
health.

Lillian Gish, Dancer,
Started With Bernhardt

Lillian Gish-dancer.
That would be surprising billing,
indeed, for the actress who has long
been accounted an international dra-
matte star of stage and screen.
Yet it was as a dancer that the
fragile beauty made her debut on
Broadway. And with Sarah Bern
hardt, at that.
Miss Gish was but seven at the
time, and Sarah was we'll past 60,
though tall and striking in appear
ance.
GLOW thrilled I was," Miss Gish
recalls.
Bernhard selected me for the
part of the child dancer after visit
ing a dancing school I attended.
each night as she stood in the
wings, preparing to make her en-
trance, Bernhardt would pat me on
the head. It became quite a little
rite between us, and I thought of it
suddenly the other night for the first
time in years when I found myself
patting little Harlan Stone on the
head as we stood in the wings be-
fore the first act curtain of Life
With Father"

SMALL TOWNS
SHOW POPULATION GAIN
OVER LARGER CENTERS

There's more life in the small
towns and rural areas of Maryland
these days, while the states bigger
population centers are settling down
into period of "old age", according
to an analysis drawn by Future,
magazine of the United States Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce, of sta
tistics compiled from the latest fed
eral census.
The publications conclusion is
based specifically on census figures
for Maryland which show that the
average county has experienced a
1928 per cent increase in rural resi-
dents during the past 10 years, COM
pared with gain of only 1913 per
cent in urban districts. "Urban" is
defined as any community of $500
or more.
This trend, which means that
boundaries of Maryland community
life are broadening rather than that
cities are declining in Importance,
also evident nationally, Future
points out i'm special article. Amer
ica's GA per cent gain in rural pop
ulation during the past decade indi-
Gates that more men who work and
trade in towns are seeking greater
personal freedom" by building hon.
es in the country the article points
out, citing as examples the employ
ees of HORNED Packing company at
Austin, Mimi, Hamilton Manufac-
turing company at Two Rivers,
Wis, and Schenley Distillers cor
poration. The latter firm, surveying
personnel at it's plants in Lawrence
burg, Ind. and Frankfort, KY, found
an increasing number of workmen
were building new homes on small
farms within easy driving distance
of work, the article reports
That the Maryland trend typifies
the national population shift is
shown in the fact that during the
last 10 years Americas urban popu-
lation increased only To per cent,
compared with 1911 per cent be-
tween 1920 and 1880. Meanwhile,
the GA per cent gain in rural popu-
lation compared with only IA per
cent the previous decade.

Looking Back to Kitty Hawk

Whether Orville and Wilbur
Wright, who realized Roger Bacon's
prophecy and Leonardo da Vinci's
dream, ever foresaw the sky full
of Messerschmitts, Heinkels, Spit
fires, Airacobras and the like-is a
question that some expert in the short
history of aviation may answer if he
can. If they did the world today
possibly wishes they had folded their
tents at Kitty Hawk and bicycled
back to Dayton before 10 o'clock on
the morning of December II, 1903.
Be that as it may, it is certain
that they did not foresee an ency-
clopedia of the airplane of more
than 1,400 pages less than 81 years
after their Notwithstanding fight. Yet
here it is this day, an item at least
half as bulky as an unabridged die
tionary, and named "Aerosphere:

Glen d. Angle of Detroit, who Is
known as an engine designer and
as the author of various books and
many technical articles relating to
airplane engines. He was formerly
a professor at the Lawrence Insti-
tute of Technology, and is now con-
nected with the Briggs Manufactur.

Flood of Questions Asked
About South America

Shut off from trade and travel in
Europe, Middlewesterners are turn
nag their attention in an amazing
degree to Latin-American countries,
to a study of their culture, art, and
background, and to the prospects
for travel, and even indefinite stays,
according to findings Of the Pan
American council here.
The council, which established
headquarters in Chicago, has been
deluged with inquiries of all kinds,
declared the president, Mrs. Robert
S. Plat.
People are asking about travel,
about the advisability Of moving to
some South American country to
make greater use of technical train
ing in dairying, metallurgy, or man.
ufacture, about Latin-American art
or music, or politics, about lecturers
and speakers who can give an eve
ning's program, about crafts, tex
tiles, and paintings they might ex-
hibit, about music and literature.
The council is not only clearing
house for Latin-American informal
ton for Chicagoans, Mrs. Plat en-
phasized, but also a kind of focal
point for about eight Latin-Ameri-
can organizations, including the
Friends of Mexico, Institute de las
Espanas, Mesa Espanola, Good
Neighbor Forums of the Y. M. C. A.
college, and Spanish clubs in North
western university and the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
Letters and telephone calls ask,
Scan you give us the name of an
importer of rubber in South Amer
ica?" "Does Germany or Uruguay
control the salvage rights of the Ad-
miral Graf Spee?" (Which country
has that large public works pro-
gram pending?" "How much Amer
lean money was invested in Latin
American countries in 1892"
To assist in disseminating infor-
nation the council, young as it is,
is already putting out a bi-monthly
bulletin announcing a calendar Of
film showings, orchestra concerts,
panel discussions, exhibits, Ian
guage classes and other scheduled
events all having to do with Latin
American relations.

SCHOOLS, PARENTS BLAMED
FOR LACK OF DISCIPLINE

Because both the home and the
school are coddling students, modern
graduates have reached the point
where they are unwilling to accept
jobs that require hard work, New
York Board of Education report
charges. TIL ereport asserts that too
often students have preferred gov
ernment-made work and have de-
manded" things rather than been
willing to sacrifice. Parents shared
the blame, in the report, along with
the schools, which were called upon
to halt decaying discipline now
being melted out in irresponsible
homes.
There seems to be no question
that parental guidance has softened
up in late years. That, combined
with what some educators prefer to
call streamlined education, has just
about twisted the present educa-
tional program beyond recall.
The attitude of so many modern
parents has been to let the child take
the easiest way out. "The parental
attitude often is that their children
should have job, government-made
if there is no other available, the
report held, "even though they
themselves have expended little eff
fort and practically no discipline at
home to inculcate in their children
the desire to get the best out of
their education. Some parents seem
to think, now that they have raised
their children, after a fashion, the
world owes their children a living.
AS, for the time the student ac-
tually spends in school, there is
equally. as great a need to return
the school program to the great vir-
tues and simple fundamentals Hon
estly, resourcefulness, and willing
ness to work are sometimes hard to
find in either the home of the class
room.
The Board of Education report
complained that school attendance
had also fallen off throughout the
year. Again, parents were charged
with being unnecessarily soft heart
ed and willing to excuse their child
ren's absences for trifiing reasons
1t was agreed by members of the
committee making the report that
there is only one way in which to
check this unfortunate trend in stu
dent and parent attitude. The school
must take increasing responsibility
to direct in the schoolroom the dis
cipline so badly handled in the
home The school has been forced to
combat this relaxed home discipline.
The schools responsibility implies a
return to the basic formulas and
basic courses of another day.

ALUMINIUM AVALANCHE

Am avalanche of used aluminium
rolled down on Baltimore, from the
twenty-three counties of the State.
Following the recent appeal of Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor for old
aluminium for defense purposes, the
cooperation of the counties, under
their County Commissioners, has
been so splendid, according to Isaac
S. George, Executive Director of the
State Council of Defense, that the
receipts for exceeded expectations
The first reports to Governor
O'Conor from the Council of Defense
included Montgomery County, which
was shipping huge truck loads of
aluminium, and Baltimore County,
where pile 80 feet. long, SO #.
wide and 20 it. high defied approx
nation as to weight.
In one locality adjacent to Wash
ington, in excess of $4,000 pieces of
aluminium were collected for movie
admissions. Generally throughout
the State, Mr.. George reported to
the Governor, the cooperation was
1907 and the amounts of old
aluminium collected will undoubt-
eddy put Maryland well among the
leaders for total collections in pro-
portion to population.

A survey of 147 Maryland turkey
farms in 1912 showed an average
mortality of 81 % for the year, says
bulletin on Producing and Mar
keting Turkeys, issued recently by
the University of Maryland extern
sion service. While the present loss
es may be somewhat less, it states,
1t is doubtful if the average mortal
ity of turkeys in the eastern states
is less than 25 %. These losses, it
asserts, must be substantially re-
duced if turkey growing is to COM
pete successfully with other branch
es of animal husbandry.

TYRANNY THREATENED AT
HOME

Right now, wrote Frank R. Kent
recently, there is drive on Ito
utilize the national crisis to push
the union frontiers forward to the
point where a tight labor monopoly
will be so firmly established that
neither man nor woman can get or
hold a Job unless he or she is men,
Der of union. If, through closed
shop, checkoff and complete unioni-
zataion of all labor, the monopoly
now sought should be acquired, the
power of the labor leaders would be
irresistible. They would become the
real rulers of the nation, superior
to the government itself. These
pepole of this country would live
under a tyranny as intolerable i'm
many ways as any of those we de-
nounce abroad"
Those are strong words, but late
events have fully justified them.
The lust of some labor leaders for
more power is Unsuitable. 1t is these
leaders who have made extortionate
demands upon such industries as
coal, the railroads, air craft plants,
etc. It is these leaders who have set
their own ambitions ahead of the
very safety of the nation. 1t is these
leaders who have actually defied
government. 1t is these leaders who
are out to destroy the right of man
to earn his living whether he is
member of a union or not.
There are definite signs which in
dictate that the public has at last be-
come aroused and American people
will eventually rebel.
Honest and patriotic working men
have a chance to clear the labor
movement of the onus that has been
cast on it by the actions of ire
spomsible, ruthless leaders. 1t is up
to the rank and file within the union
ranks to clean house. If labor fails
to do that, it will simply court dis
aster. 1t will risk the loss of the
many deserved gains it has made
over the years. 1t will invite harsh
legislation.
