And while we're on the subject,
that foundation of all democratic in
stitutions, the American home is in
for some drastic changes in its out
fittings. Among these are use of re-
silent woods as cushion bases in place
of steel springs, development of wood
EN- hinges and drawer handles and ap-
pearance of new stained and coloring

Those twin summer squashes which
attracted attention in the News win
dow last week were raised by Russell
Magee, who gardens and raises roses
as hobby at his home on Huber
street. Altho he claims to be only an
amateur, he appears to get results
approximating that of a professional.
He recently found twin roses-grown
back to back-said to be a decided
rarity.
When you are thinking of busy
folks this year don't forget Eli Depp-
ier-the telephone man. The series
of thunderstorms this summer has
been one of the worst in recent years
from the standpoint of telephone
maintenance. Short of help, Eli has
been pinchhitting doing a lot of odd
jobs around the central office in adj
dition to his regular duties. Last
Wednesdays storm knocked out 200
phones which added another little
chore. So just be patient if your
phone developes trouble and remem-

When Roger Howe won the
Bluffton tennis championship the
other day, the fans proclaimed him
as the youngest contender ever to
hold the city tennis title-and after
all that's an unusual record consid-
ering that Bluffton has been known
as good tennis town for nigh onto
forty years. Looks as if tennis still
is young mans game.

Vegetable Seeds
Should Be SaUed
By RUTH BARNES

County Home Demonstration Agent
This year it will be good idea
to save all the vegetable garden seed
that we can. The scientists say
that seeds of parsnips onions and
sweet corn are difficult to store so
that they keep their vitality, but
beans, peas, carrots, parsley and pep
pers will keep more easily. Other
kinds of seeds you can often store
for as much as to years with
fair success.
Seeds keep best in a dry but cool
place. In general, the higher the
temperature and humidity-that is,
the warmer and moister their sur
roundings--the shorter the time veg
etable seeds will keep. Well-dried
seeds will keep at ordinary room
temperature for next seasons use if
the air of the room is also kept dry.
But to keep seeds alive for several
seasons-even the long-lived ones
seal them in glass jars or other
containers, and store them in a cool
place. Be sure they are perfectly
dry when you put them in the con-
tainer, and be sure the container is
perfectly dry. You can learn more
about storing of vegetable seeds
from new leaflet published by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C. The leaflet is
No. 220 and called Storage of .Vege-
table Seeds"
We want to save our seeds so that
we can be sure we will have plenty
for next year.

THE AMERICAN DREAM

Do you remember the pitifuly tiny vote which was cast in the recent Territorial election?
 Well, then, you probably don't care, but accord ing to estimates of the probable vote in the coming Congressional elections in the States the results going to be almost small, comparatively. The American Institute of Public Opinion estimates that only 30000000 citizens will vote in November, as compared with nearly 500OO000 in the Presidential elections of 1940. Allowing for the two factors of 5000000 men in the services most of whom will not vote, and indefinite number of workers who have moved to communities and have not quail fled as voters the electorate is showing at least as much interest it did in the Congressional elections of 1888. Yet we may suppose that there are as many as 100000OO and women who voted in l940 and are qualified to vote today who will not take the trouble to do so
 third of those sampled by the Institute said they were not interested One-fourth didn't much care who controlled the House of Representatives There is, of course simple way upset the Insti- tutes predictions. Every who reads them and deplores what they show may upset them little by deciding do his full duty at the polls and per suading his lukewarm neighbors to do the same The very fact that prediction has been made may alter the conditions which today make it accurate
 This, then, is the American dream for which our forefathers died and for which we are fighting
 Lack of interest in elections is one of the pug zng symptoms in modern democracies It is the puzzling because the very persons who neglect to go to the polling places would be the first to protest if they forbidden to go Yet this is not the way in which modern democracies perish Elections in the dctatorial states always bring out every citizen who is able to walk. The myth of popular approval is perpetuated by compelling people to vote and either arranging the voting that they

 The Army and Navy really might have taken some efficiency lessons from these farm boys. They even got Martin Dies to spring a phoney report on alleged communists in- side the Government just at the psychological time during the de- bate to smear Gardner Jackson, who had persuaded one lone farm organization, the Farmers Union, to support the President.
 The funny part of it is that Gardner's father once built the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, owned about as much land in New Mexico as John J. Raskob, and Gardner is about as communistic as Tom Connally But I suppose a lot of farmers will be fooled just the same.

W0MAN'S CLUB
 HEARS THREE
 GOOD SPEECHES

Three speakers of outstanding in- terest to women of Juneau address sed the Woman's Club yesterday afternoon at social meeting held in the Methodist Church parlors, Miss Juanita Kaye, civilian worker with the Juneau branch of the Mil itary and Naval Welfare Service; :; Miss Belle Hartung, Juneau police woman; and Lieutenant Mable Moore, nurse with the Red Cross.
 In an appeal made directly to the mothers of Juneau and Douglas, Miss Hartung stressed the necessity for cooperation in enforcing the city ordinance regarding the cur few law, saying that in many homes where children had been directed home after the curfew, parents had treated the matter lightly. Enforce ment of the ordinance is a serious necessity under present conditions in Juneau, the policewoman went on, and is a preventive measure meriting fullest cooperation. fs1
 Explaining her duties iii the Red Cross here, Miss Juanita Kaye said she acts as a corresponding secrel tary for service, men in need of special assistance, and gave as an example the case of a soldier who, discovering his family was ill or destitute, might come for checking through this branch of the Red Gross. Her own procedure, she said, would be to wire the San Francisco office. where contact would be made

There are a lot of Congressmen like Jim Barnes working in quiet, patriotic way that never gets into the headlines.
 Raiding Tax Till
 But unfortunately there are al- ways few on Capitol Hill who try to raid the tax till for their own constituents in such a way as to get the entire Congress in wrong with the public.
 For instance, while the whole na- ton is collecting scrap iron, while school children are picking up every nail and rusty pipe, Senator Iydings of Maryland has bill before the Senate which would compensate scrap iron company In Baltimore because several years ago the Government refused to sell that scrap iron company A shipping Board vessels which the company wanted to break up and sell to Italy, Germany and Japan.
 The Navy, foreseeing that war was around the corner, and that we might desperately need ships, refused to permit the sale. So now Iydings is asking the Senate to compensate his scrap iron consti- tuent in Baltimore to the tune of several million dollars-even though Iydlngs' friend already had re- ceived about 78 US. Government owned vessels which were broken up and now are coming back on American boys in the form of shells at the Solomon Islands.
 What happened was that after Hitler came to power, Roosevelt, the Navy and Secretary Roper all contended that the ships might be needed for a national emer- gency," and held up a previous sale of old ships to the Baltimore
 
 scrap iron firm. The dispute dragged on for some years, Sena- tor Tydings declaring that the Governments warning of a nation al emergency was submitting hy- pothetical conditions," and that the Governments failure to de- liver all the ships to his constitu- ent was equivalent to fraud, mis- representation and deceit.v v
 Finally, in 1897, the Government yielded to the extent of delivering AZ perfectly good ships to Tydings' constituent. Thirty-six had been delivered earlier, before Hitler got to be a menace. They were all broken into scrap iron and sold to the Axis. But A ships were never delivered. sevs,
 Some of this might be ignored as lack of foresight if it were not for the fact that Tydings even a. ss fn

with the branch of the same divi- sion nearest the boys home. Per sonal checkup there, with results returned by wire, would either veri- fly or discount the message. Upon verification, funds were available for financial assistance if needed either as loan, or as a grant for the family, and if desirable, ar engagements through the command officer for an emergency leave of absence for the boy.
 Lieutenant Moore gave a straight from shoulder talk. After the hospital is completed, Lieutenant Moore said she would be in need of volunteer workers to fold gauge and make bandages. In re- sporlse, Mrs Mccormick volunteered to make that project for the War Service Department of the Woman's Club, SO that those interested in the project may get in touch with her. These need not be members of the Woman's organization.
 Members of the War Service De- partment in charge of the meeting and dessert luncheon were, in addi- ton to the chairman, Mrs. McCorm- ick, Mrs. Homer Garvin, Mrs. FL. Keithan, and Mrs. Bert Lybeck. Mrs. H.J Powers, wife of the doctor in charge of the Government Hos- pital, was also introduced to the group. Y '

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel
THURSDAY. OCTOBER 22

THURSDAY, OCTOBER g Conflicting planetary influences are active today, but benefic as poets appear to dominate. It is read as most fortunate for avia- ton.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should pursue routine duties un- der this sway. It is an suspicious time for making new acquaintances among men in Government Serv- ice. Friends and not suitors will bring happiness to many girls to whom life is taking on a serious meaning. There is an ill omen which presages many falls and other accidents among old persons. Health should be guarded because epidemics may be widespread in coming months.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor troubles are to become acute just before election dates. Legislators will realize that wage disputes are potential bombs that will scatter votes. True patriotism will be mani tested by workers who foresee their political power in postwar recon struction policies. Formation of a third party will be widely discussed after drastic measures to prevent strikes are put into operation. The element of surprise, so frequently revealed in war tactics, will be evil dent in union organization policies.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Sweeping changes in educational methods will be advocated more and more as work in schools and colleges progresses. Firm foundations will be required for the building of sci entific knowledge. Training of hands as we'll as minds will be of wide interest in preparing for a period of readjustment in human aims and activities. Old-time aca- demic requirements will be sus- pended in a large measure. Schol- ars and erudition will be super seded by workers and machinery INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: With Jupiter stationary in Gandhi's tenth house there was discerned a possibility of triumph for the Ma hatma Certain influences of the stars have been conducive to an inclination toward reasonableneSs | in his latest negotiations with the British government, but adverse stars upset his judgment at the most critical point in negotiations. In the late autumn the Indian princes are foreseen as helpful to | the cause of the United Nations for which India means so much. Gandhis early death is foreseen. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected good fortune. New asso- ciates will prove valuable in as- surfing advancement.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be brilliant in possibili- ties. They should have originality, courage and ability in' extraordin- ary degree.

Ships for the Navy
(NeW York TinnPS)

(New York Times
 Like most reports on the progress of our wal effort, that by Representative Vnson, chairman of the House Committee Naval Affairs cast large ly in the future tense But though we cannot win today's battles with tomorrows weapons, it is en- couragng to learn that getting of those weapons now. In every department of naval build- ing time has been telescoped with the result that many fighting craft which normally would have been still on the ways coming into service.
 Chairman Vinson believes that our intensified naval program has already begun to influence the course of the war He cites increasing success against German U-boats off coast destruction of Japa- nese shipping by American submarines and Ameri- can offensive action in the Solomons as first fruits Of our naval expansion He also cites the fact that our new naval torpedo bombers went into action only four months after the first plane left the plant and helped to sink four Japanese carriers E. MT. Vinson flatly announces the decision to make the carrier the backbone of the American Navy We are known to be building many craft of this type and overall construction is far ahead of sced- ule Submarines are being turned out even faster There are good gains in the progress of constructine batteshps cruisers desroyers and auxiliary vessels
 One point in MT. Vnson's report raises again the question of censorship against publicity. Tn his statement there appears the announcement that the production of naval planes is now "ust under 2OOO month.' This will certainly give our enemies more information than they could possibly acouire py revelation Of the loss in planes which we suf- Tered months ago at Pearl Harbor. Yet this latter information has never been made public
 Every now and then the secrecy which is s,,p- posed to govern production figures is broken when some member of Congress reveals an important fig ure There ought to be more consistent policy in matters of this kind. Either the rule of secrecy should be observed strictly official figures should be published at more less regular intervals by the armed services themselves.

CONGRESS NOT so BAD

I am glad the President is now convinced that the nation is 100 percent behind the war and ahead of Washington But I can't go along with him in being sore at Congress. They shoot off lot of fireworks, but in my opinion groups like the Truman Committee, the Gillette Committee and several House Committees have done more to improve the efficiency of the war effort than the nation realizes.
 Then there is lot of quiet be- hind-the- scenes work by Congress men who never get their names in the papers. Take Jim Barnes of Illinois, for instance. Few peo- pie knew it, but he worked for months with his friend Emil Schram, then director of the REC, to try to persuade Jesse Jones to build synthetic rubber factories long before Pearl Harbor Schram fin ally resigned because of his rows with Jesse, but think their nag ging undoubtedly brought de- cision to build rubber factories a little sooner, and may have saved the nation a few weeks extra use of tires.
