Urge Negro Farmers To Have
Year Round Victory Gardens

Negro farm families of the
South can produce 134 million lbs
of garden vegetables between now
and January |, according, to |. W,
Duggan. Director of the Southern
Division of the Agricultural Adj
justmelt Agency. He points out
that this would he a valuable con
tribution To the Food for Freedom
program,
Mr.. Duggan says that if the
SD 900 Negro farm families in 9
Southern states would produce
only 40 pounds of fresh garden
vegetables each between now and
the end of the year, the total pro-
.dnction would amount to 1871
million pounds or 4,400 carloads,
"There are many reasons" Mr..
Duegan says, "why a lot Of our
Victory Gardens can still be pro-
dnetive this year and help with
the war effort instead of growing
up in weeds"
He lists five reasons as follows
(D to provide the farm family
with fire sh vegetables through Dec,

How Much Is $50 Billion Dollars?

public accountants who figure
the financial affairs Of gigantic
corporations have trouble visual
izing this amount Of money.
How impossible 1t is for the
brightest Of men 10 get any clear
idea OF 80 billion dollars can
be illustrated in the following
surprising computations:
If that amount Of money was
in existence at one time and
was available in 500 bills and
If a person Nstarted counting this
gigantic roll at the rate of one
bill a second, "a hours a day, the
count would take almost As
years.
Think Of the same amount Of
money in 81 bills and lay them
end 10 end and they would
make a highway so bills wide
from the earth TO the moon.
An expert with a flair for big
figures has also worked out an
other seemingly fantastic pic
ture of $50 billion dollars. If il
were in the form of paper money.
Put the unimaginable sum in $50
bills and it would pave a super
highway As feet wide between
New York and San Francisco.
Few of the country's taxpayers
seem TO have any objection to
kicking in with their share of
this fabulous expenditure. They
are convinced that the war
against the Axis powers has to
be won, no matter how much
the job costs, and that life
wouldn't be worth a nickel TO
any Of us If Hitler. Hirohito and
that obscure puppet Mussolini
succeed in wrecking the civilized
world with their mis-named New
order.

Despite heroic rescue efforts by
firemen, one woman was burned to
death and three other persons re-
ceived serious injuries in a four
alarm fire early today at ass M
street NV.
Fireman Ernest j. Mueller of No.
4 truck company received a cut
hand when he plunged into flames
and carried out Mrs. Minnie Ster-
ling, IS, colored. who was fatally
burned. Her son. William. 81,
jumped from a third-floor window
as the blaze pressed close behind
him before arrival Of f1remen. The
mother was trapped inside.
Working blind, due to dense
smoke, Fireman Mueller searched
the upper rooms until he found
the unconscious woman. Witnesses
said he and the victim were wrapped
in flames as he carried her down
the ladder. Mrs. Sterling was pro-
nounced dead on arrival at Casualty
Hospital.
The three-story plunge OF her son
left him with a fractured right leg
and left arm and head injuries, it
was reported at Freedmen's Hos
pital. Jumping from the same floor,
Edward Arnold Lancaster, II, COL
ored, escaped without injury when
he bounced on a projecting bay

After leaping from a second-story
window, Mrs. Angela Yates. about

bled at a central point on the old
hospital grounds and were dis
patched to the various buildings
as needed by medical officers. Most
telephones already had been dis
connected, so communication be-
tween the structures was by hospi-
tai corpsmen serving as messengers.
Those patients able to walk were
dressed and bundled into the auto
mobiles while attendants made GER
tain their luggage accompanied
them or was placed in a station
wagon leaving at about the same
time. Quarters already had been
assigned at the new establishment.
AS soon as patients were evac-
uated from a building, crews of la
borers moved in to load equipment.
1t was said the space vacated prob
ably would be filled in part by Of
fees Of the Nays Bureau of Medi-
cine and Surgery. but that final
plans had not been made, particu-
larly with respect to the main build

OF Share Car Plan
Civic Leaders Meet
With D. G. Officials
Tomorrow on Project

A group of District and civic
leaders is scheduled to meet to-
morrow to work out details of the
plan of Commissioner John Russell
Young for a "share-your-car" pro-
gram to meet traffic congestion and
tire and automobile rationing.
Enthusiastic approval Of the plan.
in general principle, was given late
yesterday at a conference in Mr..
Young's office attended by Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer,
Commissioner Guy Mason, Whitney
Leary, chairman of the District Ra-
tioning Board; George E. Keneipp,
manager of the keystone Auto
mobile Club, and Washington I.
Cleveland, manager of the District
Motor Club of the American Auto
mobile Association.
Builds Plan Around Wardens.
While admitting there were GER
tain difficulties yet to be overcome,
the group agreed the plan offered
most attractive ideas" and Com
missioner Young said he was hope
full it would prove practicable.
Mr.. Young would use the $4,000
District afraid wardens as the
basis for his program, giving them
the duty of organizing and signing
up car owners to take neighbors
to and from work.
Determination to see what might
be accomplished in this direction
was stimulated by report that the
District is receiving 30 per cent less
in new tires and tubes than was
anticipated when new tire and tube
rationing was started III recent
weeks. There was no explanation
given of this reduction in tire and
tube rationing in the District.
Data Card to Be Drafted.
Mr.. Van Duzer was asked yester-
day to draft form of regis
tration card" for automobile owners,
showing where they work in the
District, when they leave home and
what time they leave their places
of work.
With similar cards to be filled
out by all car owners in neigh
borhood, the idea was that Car
Owner A on one day would take
three or four of his neighbors to
and from work and that the next
day Car Owner B would be chauffeur
and so on, until it was Car Owner
