PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

1t is an encouraging sign for the future
that government. industry and science
already are setting up agencies to plan
for the immediate postwar period in this
country, when there will be the greatest
danger of a severe economic dislocation::
These agencies. although scarcely started
on their work, already are doing good
work by opening up the vista OF the
future for public thought.
One danger exists, however.
We all know there are going to be
numerous and great economic and So
cial changes as a result Of the war. We
are all prepared to accept them. The
danger lies in the chance that few
powerfully organized crackpot theorists
will take advantage Of the period Of
change to attempt to put into effect their
unsound theories That is the thing we
must guard against.
Let US accept the necessary changes,
and the good changes. but it will be wise
to examine all proposals with suSpl-

Infants learn to talk by listen

initiates without discrimination;
but you can listen critically and
copy selectively.
1t is generally agreed that your
natural voice is your best one.
That tone is clear. When you SIM

trick that got you your own
way in childhood. and one you
learned from someone around you.
A great many people get by with
such baby tricks all their lives,
but no one else enjoys them, and
generally you don't either, really,
If you have allowed your jaw
and throat to become tense, relax
them. Sometimes this can be ac-

Just open mouth wide and close it
slowly. Then-yawn. Do this sew

a NEW BOSS OVER
WARTIME PRODUCTION

After more than a year in which his
political enemies and friends alike nave
demanded such action, President koose-
welt finally has named an overall ehlet
of armament production in this country
whose Word-the President declareS-lS
to be final.
1t is water under the bridge now that
the step should have been taken months
ago The important thing today Is th2t
there has finally been created central
lied command for the intricate task OF
fast as possible.
Donald NJ. Nelson. the new production
czar. seems to be an efficient man Tor
the lob. He will make mistakes. and he
will come under fire more than once be-
fore he is through Whatever mistakes
he makes. and Whatever criticism Is level
ed al him. should he examined henceforth
in ONLY one light: what Is the oNer-aiI
picture? If results in general are good
Nelson will be doing good lob. If re-
suits in general are bad he Will be DONG
a bad lob. That he will be exceedingly
successful in some phases OF MS TASK
and woefully unsuccessful IN others Is TO
be expected it is only the whole com
plete operation upon when llhal luoee-
ment should be made.

enough for the job that is his, or unqual-
flied to discharge his duties, Nelson
should have the complete support OF tine
nations industrial community. His WORK
can be made easier or harder, accordlng
to the cooperation he is given by those
who operate American industry. In
these days it should be every man
intention to make il easier.
If Nelson attempts to do his job nor
estly and without favOrS to any group,
he is going to find himself with powerful
enemies-not the ieast of whom will be
among the official family IN Washington.
Already the President has indicated that
Nelson's word will outweigh that OF any
other person in the capital, with the SIN
gle exception of the President himself,
when it comes to production matters.
There are going to be lot of high rank
ing politicians who will not like that.
In all the devious ways they know, they
will attempt to undermine Nelson's pow
er and his standing. 1t is devoutly to be
hoped that neither the administration
nor the public is fooled by the efforts OF
these selfishly ambition ones.
If ever there was a man who deserved
the benefit of the doubt, where any
doubt exists, that man is Donald Nelson.
He is an easy target nOW-and there are
a lot of people who cannot resist the
temptation to toss mud at those most
easily hit. Before we notice the Smears,
let's first determine where the mud
comes from That is only fair to man
with the nations toughest job.

Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

Among all writers in history, nc
other name shines more brightly
than that of William Shakespeare
Some persons call him 'the greatest
writer who ever lived" and surely
no man has been better gifted In
the art of using words.
Shakespeare was born in 1864
probably in the month of April.
Although the exact date of his
birth is not on record, we know he
was baptized on April "a, perhaps
only few days after his birth.
Stratford -on-Avon is the place
where Shakespeare was born. TIC
this day it is one of the charming
small towns of England. Through
it runs the pretty stream known as
the Avon River.
Hundreds of thousands of travel
ers have visited Stratford-o n-Avon.
When you 60 there, you are sure to
be shown "the house in which
Shakespeare was BORN
John Shakespeare, father of the
infant, was one of the leading citi-
zens of his village He held public
Offices and was named high bail
if" when William reached the age
of 4. For time the father was
a merchant, dealing in gloves, and
1t seems that he also sold meat and
wool.
During his school days William
was taught writing, arithmetic and
Latin. No doubt he also studied
history, and he must have been
deeply interested in it. In later
years he was to write many plays
which had to do with history.
As q boy we may picture him

is excellent and in locations where
blossoming will be delayed.
Apricot trees must be given clean
culture. During the first three
years, other crops may be planted
between the rows; after this the
tree needs all the space. An apricot
is just as productive as the plum or
the peach in its right location.
In California, where this fruit is
one of the leading commercial ven-
lures, the chief crop is grown in
the interior valley 1t is said that
the apricot was introduced by the
Mission Fathers in 1892.
The dried and canned fruit is
the form known by most purchasers.
The fresh fruit is scarce and costly
IN the Eastern markets.
For canning and drying, apricots
are graded according to size. Those
selected for drying are picked from
the tree before they are ripe enough
to drop. They are never peeled, but
| halved and stoned. They are sui
phured for IL to 2 hours to insure
the color demanded by the trade.
Then they are placed on light
wooden trays and cured in the sun.

that if we take care of the little
things the big things will take care
of themselves and this is quite true.
The thing that Bobby Coon forgot
was the light from Mistress Moon.
And he forgot that just a minute
only. But that's the trouble with
forgetting. A minute doesn't seem
like much, but a minute, just little
minute, of forgetting sometimes
means whole lifetime of misery
and regret. And sometimes it means
the ending of life.
Now, the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows have
great many things to remember,
and it is no wonder that sometimes
they forget one of them. But that
doesn't excuse them for forgetting
That is one thing for which there is
no excuse. 1t is no wonder that
Bobby Coon forgot how bright was

Sometimes the tree reaches to the
upper windows or a balcony, and
the fruit is easily gathered.
There are three species of apricots,
all probably natives of China and
Japan, The common apricot of
Europe and the United States is the
one illustrated here.
The tree is round headed when
covered with the ovate or round
ovate leaves, which are quite thin
and bright green. Blossoms ar
rive before the leaves; they are
pinkish white and borne singly.
The fruit usually ripens before the
plum or the peach. 1t is rather
peach like in shape and color,
though the skin is smoother. The
rich golden flesh is less juicy but of
a higher quality than the peach,
The smooth stone is almost free
from the firm flesh and is easily
removed.
The reasons given for not plant
ing more apricot trees, though they
are as hardy as the peach and the
plum, is that the apricot, in bloom
ing so early, is likely to be caught
by late frost. And the late rains
keep the roots wet, which the tree
dislikes very much. However, the
tree can be planted where drainage

easy to remember everything when
you are terribly frightened. And yet
often that is the time of all times
when you should remember every
thing. Bobby Coon was terribly
frightened. There was no doubt
about that. He has reason to be.
Bobby had successfully climbed
down one side of the young hemlock
tree while Farmer Browns Boy was
climbing up the other side. Watch
ing his chance, Bobby had slipped
away between the hunters at the
foot of the tree and had then run
for all he was worth. He hadn't
gone far when Bowser the Hound
found his fresh tracks and was after
him with a roar Of his great voice
which told the hunters just what
was happening. 1t wasn't long
before Bobby was forced to climb
again. This time he chose great
chestnut tree that would be hard
Evening star., 1942-09-07

climbing for Farmer Browns Boy,
and as he made himself as small as
possible in a crotch high up he
hoped that the hunters would give
up and go away.
But the hunters did nothing of the
kind. They strapped climbing irons
on the legs of Farmer Browns Boy,
because he as the youngest and most
nimble, and slowly but surely he
climbed up the big chestnut tree.
Peering down from his hiding place
Bobby watched him coming nearer
and nearer. What should he do?
What could he do? 1t wouldn't do
to try going down the other side of
this tree because there were no
thick -leaved branches as on the
young hemlock tree. The hunters
would see him and simply wait for
him. No, 1t was Of no use to go down.
He looked up. One long branch Of
the big chestnut tree reached over

going to see plays in Stratford-on-
Avon. In those times it was usual
for plays to be given in open-air
theaters.
What thoughts did he have when
he first saw players on stage? We
can only guess. 1t may be that he
decided that some day he, himself,
would be an actor.
There are not many records of
Shakespeares childhood and youth,
but we may feel sure that he was
eager for knowledge, and that he
saw many things which others did
not notice In his plays he showed
a wide knowledge of the outdoor
world, as well as of human nature
