The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-09-30

In the opinion of old stagers,
it promised to develop into one
of the bitterest World Series in
history, probably 10 be fought
right down to the last gasp. No
body would be surprised if it
went the limit of seven games.
While most of the experts
thought the Yankees would win
eventually, few of them pre-
dicted it would be an easy vic
tory.
TOO MUCH CLASS
The Cardinals have too much
class for that. Those who have
been following Billy South
worth's Braves as they made
their sensational stretch drive to
beat out the Brooklyn Dodgers
declare unanimously that they
are capable of beating anybody
including the Yankees. Those
who have seen the most Of the
Cards lately are highest in
praise of the wild-running kids,
and are the ones who like their
chances the best against the
resplendent Yankees. Which
might, or might not, be signifi-
cant.
There was, to tell the truth, an
agreeable surprise in St. Louis
last night when the word ar
rived, in advance of the Yankees
themselves, that Ruffing had
been named by Manager Joe Nc
Carthy to hurl the first game for
the Yanks. The American
League champs did not pull into
town until nearly dark - too
late for workout - but the
word that Ruffing was McCar-
thy's choice arrived by telegraph
some hours earlier.
GETTING BREAK
For some obscure reason, the
locals decided the Cards were
getting a big break in facing an
old-timer like Ruffing in the first
heat. They suggested, actually.
that Mccarthy was "concedihg'
the opener to the Cardinals. He
realized, they said, that he
couldn't lick Cooper so he was
sacrificing Ruffing.

Defense Gardens
VIII Group Work Be Satisfactory?
By ". II. Yonngman

With the approach of spring
some of our garden minded"
leaders are going to provoke a
lot of discussion by suggesting
organization of school and COM
munity gardens. They will have
in mind the efforts put forth
during World War I to increase
food supplies. Even though food
supply conditions are somewhat
changed from 1918 there Is
much to be said for each side.
School gardens have much to
commend them where suitable
garden space is available. In
general, however, only those
schools in the more outlying Sec
tions will have sufficient space
available for such project. Then
there is the question of obtaining
a qualified instructor or super
visor. Some one who will devote
the necessary time during the
spring. the summer and the fall
to insure its successful compile
ton. No doubt paid instructors
can be obtained, but who is
going to pay the bill for such
services? During World War I
civic organizations in many cities
planned and put into operation
garden projects and hired quail
fed supervisors with gratifying
results.
Before discussing this we
might enumerate the values to
be gained from school gardens.
l. Many schools, particularly
the high schools, have school
cafeterias. A school garden can
contribute substantial quantities
of vegetables for their use. There
Is. however, the problem of cam
ming or preserving and storing
the products, since most OF them
do not mature until summer and
fall. A school giving a domestic
science course can have the stu
dents do the canning so that this
work becomes part Of their train
ing. The planting, culture and
harvesting of the crops is excel
lent training for the students.
The summer part of the work
NAV be a bit difficult to arrange
in some areas. particularly where
there is employment for the boys.
Nevertheless, the growing and
preserving Of the crops should be
considered useful training for
the students where 1t can be done
under competent supervision.
2. The products produced are
valuable, both for the school
cafeteria and for the student.

some concrete benefits from his
efforts.

Is making toward the national

4. A carefully organized school
garden may be developed into a
demonstration project for the en-
tire community. In recent years
there has been a widespread
tendency for residential develop
ment in the more outlying areas.
Many of these homeowners have
had little or no experience with
the growing of vegetables. fruits
or flowers. Any help that they
may obtain through the schools.
either in classroom or through
demonstrations, will be of sub
stantial value to them.
On the opposite side of the
ledger we have the problems
already mentioned. There is
very little to be gained from
attempting the growing of veg
etables on poor soils. Even
though the ground might be i'm
proved to the extent of produce
ing something, the cost is apt to
exceed the returns. Competent
supervision is necessary. If it
can be obtained for the entire
season there is a reasonable
assurance of success for the
project. Even though suitable
land is made available for such
project, unless it is close
enough to the school to be made
a part of the teaching program
the benefits to be obtained are
questionable.
Much the same comments rela-
tive to school gardens apply to
community gardens. Suitable
soils, trained supervisor and n
a convenient location are even
more important than for school
gardens. The home gardener
obtains the most benefit and does
