ALIEN ROUNDUP

With the declaration of war
against Germany, Italy and Japan,
many new precautions must be put
into effect. Among these is the ap-
prehension of nationals of those
three countries who might endan-
ger the safety of the United States.
Many of those already arrested have
been under the surveillance of fed
eral agents for some time. They
were taken into custody promptly
upon the outbreak of hostilities.
So far the behavior of the public
has been exemplary. There have
been no outbreaks, no attempts to
persecute or harass individuals who
happen to be of Axis nationality.
We believe that the vast majority
of Germans, Italians and even jap
anese who are enjoying the privi-
leges and blessings of this country
have no ulterior motives. They are
here because of the many superior
opportunities offered. They will
willingly help defend the liberties
they enjoy here, as other country.

the youngest tissue, not because of
the variety or strain. Quality in
this vegetable is definitely associat-
ed with green color, in that only
certain varieties or strains of eel
cry which are green when mature
possess the best flavor and texture,
as exemplified by the old, we'll
known winter variety, Giant Pascal.
The commercial celery industry
of this country has been based
largely on the Golden Self-Blanch-
ing variety, of unknown origin, in
troduced from France in 1884. I'm
fortunately for the grower, the
public is slowly becoming educated
Ito the superior quality of the So
called green varieties and will soon
demand only the darker colored
stalks all times of the year. This is
as it should be, but it is forcing the
country's plant breeders to develop
quickly green varieties and strains
of this crop which will mature ear
ly, blanch readily to a medium
green, and be adapted to various
growing conditions throughout the
country.
According to Donald Comm, veg
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1941-12-25

etable specialist at the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, it IS
the pascal type that is wanted, with
it's superior qualities, but with the
elf-blanching characteristics of the
yellow varieties. Most of the dark
green color in celery stalks must
be broken down by reduction in
the light intensity reaching the
stalks, either through close plant
ing in the field for easy blanching
types or by means of boards, dirt,
or paper for varieties which are
more difficult to blanch.
| Plant breeders have already made
much progress in combining the
higher quality and heavier stalks
of the green varieties with the early
maturity and easy blanching of the
yellow types. Several strains Of
self -blanching pascals and other
adapted green strains are now cat
alogued by seedsmen.
When the public becomes con-
scious Of the superior quality Of the
green stalks on the market, there is
no question but that celery grow
ers will abandon their yellow va
rietieS forever

WORLD RELIGIOUS NEWS

The New Year does not begin on
the first OF January in every coun-
try, but on whatever date it is eel
ebrated, the same idea is associated
with it-goodwill, kindly feeling,
often expressed in quaint customs
and oftener in the giving and re-
ceiving of presents. 1t is not known
how old is the custom of the New
Years celebration, but we do know
that 5000 years before Christ was
born the people who lived in Baby
lonia kept New Year festival call
ed Zalmuk which lasted for twelve
days.
When the Romans became Chris
tians. the festival of New Years
was still kept, but in place of the
old heather practices, the church
ordered that the day should be one
of fasting, prayer and humiliation.
The Jewish civil year began in
their month of Tishri-about Sep
tember 6-but their religious year
started March 21.
Medieval Christians considered
March 25 as the New Year.

holy festival from earliest times.
The Jews kept the Feast of Trum-
pets; the Druids cut sacred mistle-
toe and made sacrifices. sometimes
human to their gods.
The lovely Open House custom is
English. Poorer neighbors would
come in for refreshments and the
first called on any family was con-
sidered to be lucky. ~.
On New Years day, 1000, many
Christians expected the end of the
world and gave away their belong
ings.
In New Years day, 1863, Lin

lamation.
New Years day, 1878, saw the
beginning of mail service between
