Another man who ls just as strong for what it takes to keep this country shipshapc and cleared for action is Jack Swetland, the author of THESE MEN. Jack writes for news from Palm Springs in the California desert, and if the desert is half as beautiful as Jack says 1t is, it must be something like Paradise in tho full of the moon.
 Jack left these parts in c snow storm last winter. He left with the intention of finding Q spot where the sun was warm enough to keep the coal bill down and the misery out of ones bones. He seems to have found what he sought, because he writes of pur- chasing acreage ct Palm Springs and of planning an adobe rancho. Warm days, he reports, with nights cold enough for proper slumber. Elbow room, few road side stands, people who say what they think and who think straight. Men with the courage to live their own lives and women who are not worrying about the lady next door. It's Q swell picture. From what we hear, the California dee sert must be something like squaw Rock might have been if the roads were better and the game war; dens always had business in the next county.

 Flashl Bangs Disease con. trol in Connecticut Is expected to cost $350,000. Who knows how much e farmer may expect for c condemned cow7 Who will set the price when cattle are found infected?
 Already we hear rllmors that vital industry seeks decentrallza- ton and rather secluded areas where the enemy will not spot munitions plants too quickly. An aviation outfit opens an aband- oned mill near the Rhode Island line and leases storage space in . Manchester silk mill. While this trend Is developing, we have been asleep at the switch. We should have . Chamber of Commerce to start Q campaign to get an indus try into this village that would soften up the tax burden. Next to our Taxpayers' League, Q Chamber of Commerce is the most important item for immediate consideration.
 Flagg Swamp would hide a hun- dred cartridge shops. Skeleton Hollow would be Ideal for Q shell foundry. Kettletown would offer a jumpoff place for war planes that might be manufactured in Elmer Lewis's old barn. Jeremy Swamp has power and cover to burn. Tn the hills of Rattlesnake and Saw Teeth, we have space for cannon mills and tank manu- factories. South Britain might be- come the arsenal of the democra- cies if we could furnish that Chamber of Commerce and pro- vide Q little change for postage.
