The Nazis' new OF der in Europe
is more myth than reality, in
the opinion If Noel Hall, British

but Oh Germans themselves, he
added.
While democratic countries
might be SLOW in gearing for war
when compa-ed with totahtarian

There is q United States of Eu-

Such an order is a farce. =" We

to move if the Navy takes up options
on the site near Cedar Point.

terested in the site because deep
water-as much as 100 feet-extends
to within 10 to IS feet of the shore
near Cedar Point.
Mr.. Mcdonald said the F. s. A.
will help residents move as small a
distance as possible. probably all
within the. county. The Federal
Farm Agency would act as clearing
house to help farmers locate new
farms for purchase or lease. A plsp
to buy outright a tract Of land on
the bay for lease to oystermen was
under consideration.
F.. S. A. loans also would BE- avail
able for the purchase of new farms
and for expenses incident to NOV
ing, living expenses until new crops
could be planted and harvested and
purchase of seed or farm equipment.
Mr.. Mcdonald said the Navy had
been appraising and optioning the
site, and that, for speed, we have to
assume they will purchase it." II

Facts About Vinegar

Vinegar has a long and ancient
history as staple condiment in
cookery and picking. And at this
time, it assumes prime importance,
when pickles and spice, and every
thing nice, are being canned and
packed, and when the directions
bottle and seal' are daily pass
words In the kitchen.
In countries OF older civilization,
where the mild climate favored
grape-raising and hence wine-mak-
ing, vinegar was most easily Sc
cured by allowing natural sour
ing process to wine, with resulting
internationally common wine vine
gar" But in more northern coun-
tries, where neither grapes nor ap-
Piles grew in abundance, vinegar
was brewed from barley malt, or,
from the malt Of other cereals, and
thus gave the cook darker, more
beer-favored malt vinegar"
In America today cider vinegar
made from cider or apple juice has
become standard household prod
uct.

neat sum. Colt Station, which
years ago was a leader in handling
the huckleberry, other localities
have now become the gathering
centers, and much prosperity re-
suits from this activity. Back in
1910, there were record-pickings
and the season gave Colt fifty
crates of the berries to ship away
daily.
Charles 1. Walker, of the Allan
tic Filling Station, acting as rub
Der collector, had a lively time in
reaching the goal of his ambition :
that was to collect certain guam
tity of rubber for the war purpose
as planned by the government. And
he soon went past his goal. Dur
ing the period he gathered 6120
pounds of rubber and was still 60
ing strong when the limit on COL
lections was reached. He worked
six weeks at this important job and
many hailed him as being one of
the best collectors that could be Sc
cured for this service. Every mo-
ment found this diligent collector
looking around to salvage rubber
for Uncle Sam. Another large col
lection of this material was made
by Edward Simmons, who was
serving for the Red Cross. He too,
made a successful drive. Both COL
lectors merit the praise of the de-
tense directors.
