Garden Of Spring Bulbs
Should Be Planted Now

The first crocus and daffodils In
the spring make all Of US quickly
forget a long hard winter. Fall is
the time to plan this early spring
garden and get the bulbs ordered.
Nothing ist simpler or more salts
factory than a spring garden. It
needs little care. and the busy per-
son may enjoy the reward of gar
den with a minimum Of effort. Now
that the weather Is cool, working
out-of doors is delightful. Beds may
be prepared now and bulbs set any
time this month for spring flow
ering.
For years many flower bulbs were
imported from abroad. Now that
imports are no longer possible 1t is
gratifying to know that American
bulb growers have perfected many
wonderful strains, 50 that most
bulbs sold today are far superior to
those we used to import.
Don't labor under the impression
that bulb garden is not important
unless it has hundreds Of blooms.
Dozens, in the right setting, do just
as much for the scene as hundreds
in drifts.
Six scarlet tulips and four yell
low ones, the one tall and the
other short will make q big picture
against an ivy-covered wall.
Clusters Of rose pink Darwin tu-
lips in groups of four and six with
pansies planted at their feet will
make a never-to-be-forgotten pic
ture around pool or against gray
stone wall
Think of crocus, grape hyacinths,
tulips, iris or lilies for next spring.
Plant these, with only green grass
or some ivy and vinca minor for
backdrop and you will find that you
have an early summer garden full
of color for your reward.

Modernized Kitchen
Saves Steps and Time

kitchens can still be modernised
to make them more convenient and
more comfortable for the housewife.
A modernized kitchen can actually
save steps and time for women now
busy with many activities outside
the home. Built-in cupboards with
smooth, stainproof tops for work
surfaces can be installed.
Small horizontal panels Of glass
blocks set into the wall above sink
or table give extra light, cleanliness
and warmth. Floors can be covered
with varnishes that resist spillovers
and are easy to keep spotless.
Shelves high enough to be out OF
the way can be put IN to hold the
home preserved goods many women
are now putting up for the first
time.

Women More
Resourceful
Than Men NJ
By HELEN ROWLAND

EVER SINCE ! heard OF the
rationing of razor blades, / have
suspected that il will be the
men, not the women. who will
raise the louder means when we
actually begin doing without our
little conveniences.
IL is going 10 be the men Of
this spoiled, luxurious and pam
pered nation who are going 10
take il hardest, or at least to
feel il worse. They have become
gadget addicts.
EVER SINCE Eve made a
snappy spring ensemble without
needle and thread. most OF
woman's ingenuity has been con-
sumed in doing without things.
She actually enjoys using make
shifts and her own humble de-
vices. And the miracles she can
accomplish with little Wit
and imagination sometimes as
tonish a man.
You know how Il is. Whatever
a man does around the house.
from painting a chair to making
an omelet. he, must have all the
tools, fixings and mechanical
contrivances with which 10 do il.
BUT ALL a woman needs in
an emergency is her own wit
and ingenuity and any nipple
ment at hand. A little thing like
the lack of a hammer or a
screwdriver cannot balk her
purpose. She'll use the heel of
her slipper to pound with, and
take out the screws with a nail
file or a knife.
The average bachelors kitchen
Is so full of electrical gadgets
that you are afraid TO touch
anything for fear you'll be cleo
trocuted. When ne starts out to
cook a one-course breakfast, the
place sounds like a factory. and
when he finishes. il looks like a
battlefield.
But a woman can cook a five
course dinner on a one-burner
grill and serve IL temptingly on
q tea-wagon. Or she can broil
q steak over an outdoors fire.
and you'll think you're dining at

We believe that along with the
pressure on American people to buy
bonds and save to win the wal
should come certain government
economies. These economies should
be determined by hard headed, prac-
tical business men who have carried
out their success. by their single
handed efforts and not by theorists
and opponents of the more album
dant life" This is no time to exploit
the "more abundant life," There
are, without doubt, many reductions
in expense that might be made that
would in no wise hamper the war
effort. There are many employees
drawing large salaries in the various
setups who could be dispensed with
and the service not affected. In
our opinion it is every bit as pat
riotic to save dollar in the opera
ton Of government agencies, bu-
reaus and commissions, as 1T Is to
take the dollar from the wash wom-
an down the street whose patriotism
leads her to go to the second ano
third mile in the matter of sacrifice

It gives us a magnificent lift to
talk to people these days about the
fact that we are becoming more and
more rationed and more and more
restricted and curtailed. It gives
us thrill because with few ex-
ceptions people feel that in COM
plying with the rationing provis-
ions they are making a definite con-
tribution to the war effort. Because
of their patriotism they get a thrill
out of 1.-THE thrill of really doing
something worth while to help
They are conscious of personal
sacrifice and are warmed by it
Of course one finds few belly
achers who are being imposed upon
whose liberties are being infringed
upon, and whose privileges are be-
ing curtailed, but these are in the
great minority, and down deep In
their hearts half Of them don't
mean what they say. They are
glad of the opportunity to contribute
their sacrifice also.

TO EACH OF YOU

Christmas this year comes to confused
world. The false prophets who guide the des-
TIMES of dictator nations have brought untold
suffering to sorely tried humanity.
Despite the haunting shadows of war, the
deep, abiding joy of Christmas is felt throughout
the world. The Star of Bethlehem shines as
brightly as it did two thousand years ago, it's
rays reaching bravely through the dread dark
ness of ignorance and fear.
In our own community we have felt the hot
breath of war. But Christmas, 1912, brings re-
newed hope to those who have suffered most.
Since that greatest of all days, when the Virgin
Mother brought forth son in the manger at
Bethlehem, men have found comfort and solace
in the annual miracle of Christmas.
Those of us who live in small towns are
able to see more clearly the suffering caused by
war; We have friendly, personal interest in
each other. The spirit of neighborly love and
devotion has eased many saddened heart; the
helping hand has been extended cheerfully when.
the road ahead seemed impossible.
This newspaper, which has recorded COM
munity tidings both happy and sad, wishes for
each of you Christmas of faith and hope-a
Christmas rich with the loyalty of friends and
graced with full measure Of happiness. n

JAPANESE PROBLEM

The uprising at Manzanar, the
japanese camp in California, where
alien Japanese as we'll as American
born Japanese are being held for
the duration, has brought public
attention to a condition that re-
quires careful consideration. This
uprising showed clearly that there
are percentage of dangerous jap
anese in this country. Not only
are they dangerous to everything
that is American, but they are dam
gerous to thousands of japanese
who are undoubtedly loyal citizens.
Apparently the hatred of the jap
anese who caused the trouble at
Manzanar, is as strong or stronger
toward the japanese who are loyal
to this country, as it is toward
Americans. Hence the lives of such
japanese are endangered when they
are confined in the same locations
with the alien japanese. %.
The problem is a, most difficult
one when our government is obliged
to confine American-born japanese
as well as alien japanese. As long
as dire necessity requires such ac-
ton, however, it is evident the two
groups must. be segregated.
Furthermore, some method of
procedure must be evolved to give
the loyal japanese a chance to prove
their loyalty so that they will not
be forced to associate with the ag-
gressive alien japanese whose avowed
purpose is to sabotage and destroy
if given that opportunity in the
United States. j.. 80. -: !,
The people have confidence that
our government will correct this
situation with full consideration of
the safety and humanitarian issues
involved.

We don't feel equal to outlining
all the terms of the peace that Is
to come after the war, but on one
point we do have a conviction that
is clear. That is that Germany shall
be shorn of every vestige of military
might. She should not be permitted
to have a tank or a gun, or a bat
tleship. She cannot be trusted
Her people are good people but
they have a way of letting the wrong
leaders get into power. Twice Fer
many has plunged the world into a
wasteful and destructive war. We
should see to it that there shall
never be a third time.

TOO MANY COOKS
TOO MANY RECIPES

Public officials, from the Presi-
dent, vice president and secretary of
agriculture down to the soap box
orator, have promised that this
country is going to feed the world
when the war is over; in fact lot
of feeding is planned before the war
is terminated. The hungry peoples
of Europe have been led into count
ing on us to save them from starva-
ton. Yet We are rapidly approach
ing the tragic position of being un-
able to feed ourselves, not because
We don't have the land and resource
es, but to put it bluntly, because
too much bureaucracy is discourag-
ing and llampering the industries
that produce and distribute our
food. p -
The farmer, the professor, the
distributor have been stymied by an
avalanche of red tape and a lack
of realization that their efforts are
vital to the prosecution of the war.
1t sometimes takes months to get
machinery repaired or replaced. Key
men are still being drafted. Ration
ing of gas and tires to essential We
hicles is cumbersome. And on top
of these handicaps, from Washing
ton come clustering threats and
questionnaires by the tens of mil
lions that only succeed in creating
more shortages" As Sen. Vanden-
burg says: "It would take a Phila-
delphia lawyer and an Indian crys-
tai gazer to answer some of these
FORMS"
John A Logan, president of the
National Association of Food Chains
emphasizes the need for a central
lied food plan, and points out
that the food industry cannot meet
basic civilian requirements unless
sound governmental polices are es-
tablished Immediately. Said Mr..
Logan: "Too great emphasis cannot
be placed on the vital Importance
that recognition be given in high
government quarters to the essen
tiaI character of food production,
processing and distribution. Order
must be brought out of a situation
that rapidly is approaching chaos.
A coordinated policy must be for
mulated quickly under centralized
administration with sufficient au-
thority to deal effectively with food
supply" -. 4 n
Mr.. Logan is not an alarmist.
But conditions he describes in the
food industry can be found in prac-
tically every branch of production
and merchandising. He knows that
he is speaking to millions of intel
ligent Americans whose collective
opinion has forced decisive action
on more than one occasion, after
officialdom had failed. There is a
crying need for intelligent action
now. g - ~

A reduction in the use of news
print is scheduled to take place after
the first of the year. Each newspa-
per will be asked to cut consumption
a certain percent under that of last
year. This will be accomplished by
printing less pages and by cutting
names from the subscription list
This is a hint to those who may be
back in their subscriptions. If the
editor is ordered to cut he will have
to cut and it is a 10 to one bet he
won't cut the subscriber who is
paid up. 49,
