It was announced only that a

"Strong force" has meant in the

At Lugano heavy explosions were
heard and flares seen in the direc-

The Raj was not allowing civic

Talks Gardens

Miss Marguerite Berry told men,
bers of the KiwaniS club Tuesday
noon they ought to plant gardens
this year. But in the same talk
she said that no seed should be
wasted by neglect of the garden
and then expected the Kiwanians to
reduce their waist measures by the
gardens care. It was an interest
ing talk, but probably quite I'M
profitable from a defense stand
point.
