Last Friday a red headed wood
pecker came in from the south. They
seldom make mistakes about the COM
ing Of spring. This reminds me that
work and planting should begin in
the garden.
In the regular garden guide, r. o.
Monosmith recommends that the fol-
lowing vegetables should be planted
in our section of Mississippi as soon
as weather permits. Beets, Cabbage,
carrots, English peas, Irish potatoes,
Tender greens, Turnips, Lettuce.
Mustard and onion tsets or plants).
Did you know that the rough out
side hun of the beet seed contains
six to ten very small seed? These
burs should be soaked "a hours in
water before planting. This insures
better termination. Another inter
esting fact; lettuce Of the heading
type should be planted before Feb
ruary 10th, in central Mississippi if
good heads are expected. Planted at
this time lettuce produces head by
May 1st. on 80 per cent Of the
plants; Use varieties Of lettuce; New
York No. IL or Imper' Il No. 1872.

CCC EnroIIees Will
Be Accepted 18Th
Public Welfare Dept.
Now Prepares For
New Enrolment

The Civilian Conservation Corps
will now conduct eight enrollments
a year instead Of four, as in the
past. The new enrollments, which
are called intermediate enrollments,
are scheduled for each month fol-
lowing the regular quarterly enroll
ments for January, April, July and
October.
The first intermediate enollment
is scheduled this month between
the eighteenth and twenty eighth,
and the county welfare agents of
the Department of Public Welfare
r now accepting applications and
preparing for this enrolment. All
who are enrolled at this time will
be assigned to CCC camps in Mis-
sissippi.
An applicant must be a citizen
of the United States, between the
ages of seventeen and twenty-three,
both inclusive mot regularly en-
rolled in school, not married, unem-
ployed, and must desire the job
training opportunities offered by the
Corps. The applicant must not be a
member of the National Guard (ac-
tive or reserve) or a peace officer.
and he must never have been con
victed of a misdemeanor or a felony.
Former CCC enrollees desiring re-
selection and enrolment in the
Corps must also meet the above re-
quirements and must have honorable
discharges free of the statement
mot worthy of reenrollment." They
must have been out Of camp for az
least six months to the date of their
re~selection and enrolment, and their
total previous service since July /.
1887, must not be more than eigh-
teen months.
Heretofore, CCC enrollees have
been required to allot to dependents
twenty-five dollars each month and
the remaining eight dollars was paid
to them in cash at camp. A recent
change j regulations makes it pos
sible for an enrollee to allot to his
dependents only fifteen dollars each
month. He continues to receive eight
dollars cash and the remaining sew
en- dollars is deposited with the Chief
of Finance, War Department, and
given to the enrollee at the time Of
his discharge from the CORPS. Thus,
for each month that an enrollee re.
mains in the CCC, he is saving for
himself a "nest egg" which will
help him until he finds employment.
CCC enrollees are given oppor-
tunities to learn cooking and bak-
ing, auto mechanics, welding, radio.
operation of caterpillars, bull doz-
ers, and tractors, and other trades
which are vital to our national de-
Tense program.
Any youth who is interested in
CCC enrolment should. visit the Of
flee of the county welfare agent
in whose county he has. residence.
He should be accompanied by his
parents or guardian and should
carry with him his birth certificate
or some other notification of birth
date. Former CCC enrollees should
ais carry their discharge certificates
with them.

Connecticut's Safety
 Record Encouraging
Improvement Noted Declares Chairman MOrsehOuse;
 IS Less Fatal Casualties During Closing of 194O

A request was made by the high way safety commission to the people of Connecticut today to continue during 1941 the exercise of care and caution which resulted in decided betterment of the highway fatality record during the campaign con- ducted in the final two weeks of the year.
 The commission pointed out that fifteen fewer persons were killed in the closing weeks of 1940 than in the same period of 1889. This included seven fewer pedestrians, the traffic participants who have been especial ly vulnerable during the holiday pe- riod of other years. The records also show that not single child was killed during the two weeks while year ago two were killed between December 15 and 31.
 The thanks of tn commission were extended today to the many indivi- duals, departments and organizations which cooperated in the campaign to reduce accidents. These included the governor and heads of state de- partments, the newspapers and the radio, the schools, churches, local safety committees, mayors, police chiefs, clubs and associations and business concerns.
 we rejoice" said Major Vernon

GOVERNOR PHILOSOPHICAL

Bermudians are of a unanimous opinion on one aspect of the bases: "It's the bloody biggest thing that ever hit us." Here unanimity ends, though naturally there are certain aspects which few Bermudians like. They dislike giving twenty-flfth of their land to foreign power. They dislike the thought of modern ization which the bases must bring -sfor much of Bermuda's appeal has been it charming quaintness.
 On this score, however, many Bermundians are philosophical. His Excellency It. Gen. Sir Denis John Charles Kirwan Bernard, governor of Bermuda, sums up this point of view in an interview he granted me, his first with a representative of the press since he came to Ser muda in October, 1899.
 ."Is it possible" Sir Denis asks that these islands should go on forever without being touched? Ii these changes had to come, perhaps it is for the bost that they should come at this time. should like to add, however, that motor cars must not be used outside the confines of the American bases. It would be absolute ruination to Bermuda" How you feel about the bases after certain fundamental regrets depends pretty largely on what you do for living. St. Georges is more pleased than Hamilton, because Il will profit most from the bases.
