AS the great devastating war, the
most destructive in the history of the
world, continues to advance, new op-
portunities are being made possible
| for Negroes. 1t is with much regret
chat these opportunities and Drivi-

merely through force, and yet it may
be Gods way of changing things.
Just few months ago, we could
hear announcements over our radios
that certain positions were for white
men only. Just few months ago,
Negroes were denied many, many po-
sitions in government places, but to-
day the government is asking for
them. God has not been, and God is
not pleased with the maltreatment
of any race by more fortunate race.

FARMERS ADVISED
 TO PLANT PLENTY
Perennial Crops Needed to Save World From Mass
 Starvation

David N. Stiles, county supervisor for the Farm Security Administra- tion in Fairfield, Litchfield. Middle sex and New Haven counties today urged small farmers who are FSA borrowers to plan now for a long war.
 Victory gardens" Stiles said, will achieve their purpose better if they are layed out with at least a five-year war in mind. We still have long row to hoe, and com- placency is out of the duration"
 He cautioned against tendency to include in Victory gardens only vegetables which can be harvested this fall. Perennial crops like as- paragus and rhubarh and small fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, quince, grapes and cherries should be planted wherever possible even though they will not yield crop for two years or more.
 Stiles said, If by some God-given miracle the war is won this year or next, the whole hungry world will turn to the American farmer for he will be the only bulwark between it and mass-staryation. Then as now the welfare of the world and the strength and health of future gen. erations will depend on the farmers ability to produce as never before"
 The F6A supervisor said that many small fruits should be planted now. Strawberries set out now will yield next year as well as Faspber- rieS and blaekberTies.
 sMany small farmers have oveF- looked excellent opportunities for profit in the production of small fruits. They make good use Of fam fly and off-season labor, and be- cause of high vitamin content are a very valuable addition to family diet"
 Stiles pointed out that the goV- eFnment Is asking every farm fam. fly to grow as much as possible Of the food needed for home use
 We stand ready and WillE to assist any farm family that can't go all-ont in victory production be- cause Of financial difficulties. Farm Security viii loan whatever Is nee eessary to make every farm c wea- fon in deM0eracyR arsenal against Hitler and HlF0hIto, provided Of course that credit iS not otherwise obtainablc."

 Rationing has placed consider able strain on her supplies of hose and gloves, for she now walks miles in visiting hospitals, war projects and factories, and the wear and tear on gloves caused by the hundreds of handshakes daily is terrific. Visits Bombed Sectors
 Every city district that suffered a major bombing attack by the Ger mans was visited by the king, and usually the queen accompanied him They made personal contact with those homes were ruined, expressed their sympathy. Several times they visited areas of attack while the bombs still were falling.
 The kings daily work room is reinforced vault-like room in Buck ingham Palace, but all London knows that their majesties seldom left London despite the raids and assertions that they sought safety in the remote hills of Scotland are en- tirely discredited.
 What the king saw in the midst of the bombs and fires and suffer- ing caused him to say:
 "The greatness of any nation is in the spirit of its people,"
 The king normally allows himself seven and a half hours for sleep and his usual working day is 10 hours, starting at 8:30 a. m. and earlier If he has a trip to make. He has cut down his time allotment for sports, but he still plays tennis and his fa- Vorite partner in doubles and op- ponent in singles is Princess Eliz- abeth.
 Many American Visitors
 In recent months there have been more frequent meetings between the king and Churchill, Such American visitors as Wendell Willkie, Anbas- sador John q. Winant. Anthony J. DrexeI Riddle, Harry Hopkins and Gen, George c. Marshall have been his luncheon guests,
 The children Of the royal house also are doing their share in the war effort and the fact that both PFineesses Elizabeth and Margaret R0se-Femain in Britain and were not sent to the safety of CanRda made an excellent impression,
 Elizabeth, who will become Of age in two years, has become a tall, graceful girl Her manneFIsns are those of the Winds0gs and she has her fathers features,

'DEHYDRAT DOG.
 FOOD PERFECTED
New Method Retains PaIa- table Features; Releases
 Tin for Other Needs

Chicago - (SpeciaD - Perfection of method of dehydrating dog food in such a way that the simple ad- dition of water will quickly return the product to its normal consist ency while retaining the foods characteristic color, odor, and pala- liability, was announced today by pr. R. c. Newton, vice president of Swift and Company.
 The new method has passed all laboratory tests and the new dog food is now in production as a re- placement for the timed product, which was given up three months ago when 1t became necessary to conserve tin for the war effort. Tn recent years canned dog food has ranked second only to canned milk among all foods sold in tins.
 Dr. Newton, who directs research activities of the largest industrial food laboratories in the nation said the new dog food contains all of the basic ingredients of the former product, a nutritionally balanced diet, in a hydrated form. An import ant factor in the new methods, he explained, is use of minute quanti- ties of the anti-oxidant discovered by Swift scientists several years ago and now employed to protect new bland-type lard against rancidity.
 ITO retain all the characteristics of the original canned dog food while removing moisture to permit sale in paperboard packages has been the dog food tndustry's ex- tremely difficult problem" Dr. New ton explained. Tt would have been relatively simple to switch over to a dry mixture or even to a simple de- hydrated food which, while nutri- tious, would nevertheless sacrifice qualities of color, odor, meaty tex ture, and palatability. But the phe- nomenal success of canned dog food is growing from nothing to some TOO million pounds annual sale in 20 years was the result of more than the mere convenience of the pack age. It has presented meat, meat food products, and other ingredients mostly from the farm, in a form at- tractive to dogs as well as good for them.
 By taking more time to study the problem, and still more time to test the results, the members of our research staff have developed a product which meets the needs of the dog and the desires of his own- CTS, and solves the problem of saving metal needed for the war effort" !" Dr. Newton concluded.
 More efficient wartime use of meats for human consumption will result from development of the de- hydrated equivalent of the former canned dog food, according to meat industry leaders. Dog food in this form utilizes meat and meat by- products which are highly nutritious but in little demand, they pointed out. If these foods are not available to dog owners in 8 form palatable to their dogs, meats which should be eaten by the human population will be diverted to pets. And meats which should be eaten by dogs and other pets will find less valuable | IlSes

HAS, dread weapon of " World War I, has become a definite threat in this war. Stories of it's usesby the Nazis conflict, but there is little doubt it will be used when Germans are driven to des- peration. Few believe the U. S. is in immediate danger of a gas attack, yet the govern ment is rushing millions of gas masks for civilians. No one knows what tomorrow may hold. Should the day come when gas is used, air raid wardens have been trained to give warning. Civ ilians, however, should know what to do in case of gas at- tack. Clip these hints and save them-just in case.

Mrazik said that, if you allow for the different size of the two coun- tries. Spain had proportionately more church fires and strikes than the United States. This shows he misunderstood my purpose in giving the figures. An exact comparison of such incidents would require many more facts than either of us at- tempted to give, including number of churches in each country, atti- tude of the people toward the churches, number of strikes, etc. I did not intend to balance the American and Spanish figures ex- actly, but to show the United States was not so very different.
 Comparing strikes in the two countries in i936-i937, United States strikes were in absolute num- Der four times as numerous, while allowing for population differences they were three-quarters as nuIper- olls. Yet # United States strikes in 1887 had been twice as great as they were, would that have made condl- tons 60 chaotic as to require a reI volt resulting in Q bitter Civil War killing several million AEneFieans2 That ln effect ts MT, MFRziks aggw- ment, and my use Of United States figures was to show the wicked flS tllity of such reasoning,
