But industry is making it's plans. These
plans will have to be daring. Industry must
go on the offensive 1t must show that
unprecedented production under a system
of free enterprise is the only sure way to
build lasting peace under the banner of
individual freedom 1t must lay the ground
work for this production now. And it must
have the wholehearted cooperation Of all
Americans on the home front. There is
no room for the labor racketeer any more
than for the exploiting capitalist or the
faithless politician.
We on the home front must do a lot
of clear thinking. We must now be hard
ened by determination that above all
else we must save the right of tn indivi-
dual to be free We must realize now and
in the peace to come, that Individual free
dom is more important than individual
comfort. Bitter experience has been dem
onstrated in Europe recently, that with
out freedom there can be neither comfort
nor security.

Farm Questions
And Answers

Question: Are any credit ad-
vances being made to encourage
war-crop production?
Answer: Yes. Farmers making
extra efforts to grow war crops
and assuming the added risks OF
production in cases of crops
which they ordinarily would not
grow, may make application for
these advances. They sign a
special form of note, limiting the
obligation to repay to the value
of the crops produced, provided
certain requirements are met. APP
plications should 60 through the
Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation of the Farm Credit
Administration or the county
War Board.
Question: Do home canned
foods count against you in food
rationing?
Answer: No. No home-canned
products have to be declared. The
Office of Price Administration
says that the following foods need
not be counted or declared: can
ned olives; canned meat and fish;
pickles and relish; jellies, jams
and preserves; spaghetti, macroni
and noodles; or home canned
foods.
The pantry census" must in
clude all commercially canned
fruits Including spiced); canned
vegetables; canned fruit and veg
etable juices; canned soups, chill
sauce and catsup. Five cans are
permitted for each member of the
family before the Consumer De-
claration' is made. It is not neces-
sary to make separate declara-
ton for each member of the fam
lily; one will cover for all.
Question: What do you consid-
er the first step in having a sue
cessful Victory Garden?
Answer: Thorough preparation
of the soil is the foundation step
in the production of vegetable
crops, says H. R. Niswonger, Ex-
tension bortio111+11rict Of C+o+o
College. Deep and thorough
breaking of the land is of prime
Importance. Spring preparation
should include thorough discing
and narrowing of the fall plowed
areas, and the breaking of sec
tions which were occupied by
winter vegetables. In breaking
do not turn up more than about
one inch of subsoil each year,
Niswonger advises.

Ii. Gilbert NJ Leach discovered
this week that the last frontiers
OF opportunity have not been
closed in the u. S. Army. After
serving Uncle Same as an enlisted
man In the air corps and other
branches OF the service for II
years he was rewarded by the
War Department with a set OF
gold bars. and an assignment as
engineering officer OF his outfit.
The former master sergeant en-
tered the army in his home town,
Eewburgh. Indiana. as a cook In
n field artillery outfit. Dissatisfied
with merely displaying his cul-
mary art he asked for a transfer
20 the air corps, which was at that
time in It's stage of infancy. While
working on the line as a mechanic
he watched the air forces discard
their swaddling clothes and take
on the appearance of a scrapping
youngster. And while the air
corps was coming into its own
1t. Leach was growing up with
It. From apprentice mechanic he
rose TO air mechanic and then
received a promotion TO crew
chief.
AS crew chief his position called
for a study and knowledge Of
every part OF the plane under his
authority. From the earlier two
engine planes like the 0-19 and
0.l observation aircraft TO the
present day four motor bombers
was a radical departure in the
engineering technique OF airplane
manufacturing. The former en-
listed man had TO keep up with
the fast moving scientific changes
which was constantly taking place.
1t took plenty of boning, and
the loss of plenty of sleep to learn
the different parts and equipment
.-lca required the constant sery-
sce OF the ground forces" 1t.
Leach revealed yesterday.
1t Leach's flying log credits
him with 1000 hours in the air
and the story OF a crack-up which
almost cost him his life. Flying

whether to have the men abandon
the plane or try TO land II. The
latter alternative was decided
upon. and then. just as the plane

landing gears failed TO open. When
1t. Leach opened his eyes he
found himself over a hundred
yards from the smoleding plane.

he will never be able TO explain.

the sunset itself. Westerners
will arrange a barbecue for the
slightest or no reason! This
time, they had a reason; distin-
guished flyers from all neighbor-
ing states were to be here, young
men and women pioneering the
new field of soaring as a big
business and big adventure en-
terprise. At Thunderbird Field
and Luke Field as we'll as Sky
Harbor sailplanes had been dot
ting the air all day as contest
entrants arrived from surround
ing states. Los Angeles had a
team of experts. So did Albu-
querque, Ell Paso, Denver, San
Antonio, and Salt Lake City.
This was to be the biggest soar
ing meet in history.
The approach of Capt. Jimmy
Cars transcontinental glider
was announced to the crowd by
loud speakers. His was a craft
decorated in brilliant gold-any-
thing but camouflaged!-and the
iridescent quality of the paint
was heightened by Arizona
slanting sun. The plane was still
cleaning, shimmering, like fea-
theirs of some gigantic humming-
bird, when Jimmy set it down on
a runway. Pat Friday, being
half led, half dragged by pilo,
Ed Bryan, felt new admiration
for the craft as they ran toward
it.
But Ed" Pat demanded
again, what do you intend tc
do?"
"Sh-h-h-h!" he pleaded. "You

of course not. But what will

Let me handle this. You

tons, and do just like you're
told"
Ground crews held the golden
seailplane and would have push
ed it on up close to the main
crowd, but saw the crowd itself
coming. The people seemed to
flow out here like waters of a
flood. Ed Bryan, still holding
tight to Pat, was among the six
or eight men who ran to the flu
selage as Jimmy pushed back
the transparent hood.
Hello, everybo, y!' Jimmy
shouted, grinning.
A hullabaloo of greetings fol
lowed And-the next 80 Sec
onds were a strange melange to
Pat.
She caught glimpse of sever
al men all trying to shake Jim
my'S hand at once. Another
glimpse of Lorraine Stuart, smil-
ing from the passenge seat be-
hind him.
Next moment, she saw big Ed
Bryan sort of lunge in front OF
Lorraine and begin to lift her
! bodily from the seat. Every
where people were shouting
laughing, talking, all at the same
time, amid a happy confusion
Lorraine was saying something
or trying to.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-25

What are you doing here?"
Pat heard her SHREK ut Ed Bry-
an.
Business, miss" she heard Ed
shout back. You wanta keep
quiet"
"What?"
IL say you wanta keep quiet,
you understand me-"
There was menace in Eds
tone. Pat would not have heard
him but for the fact that he had
TO shout it, and she herself had
been pulled and crowded close
behind him. Only now, in fact,
did he release her wrist.
1t was not easy to extricate
Lorraine. The safety belt had to
be unbuckled. She was stiff
muscled from sitting so long,
and the crowd was jostling the
ship. But big Ed lifted her,
pulled her right out of the plane.
He managed to keep up sort Of
running hullabaloo while about
it, and Pat saw him deliberately
push two or three men into posi-
tons that screened what he was
doing here. Pat was appalled,.
Was the man actually trying to
punish Lorraine? Do her bodily
injury? He perhaps had cause
TO hut he hadn't indicated any
such wrath!
That wasn't the answer, of
course.
Because, next moment Pat
felt big Ed manhandling her
own self. He lifted her like a
child, pumped her down in the
passenger seat!
"Sh-h- h-h, don't TALK he
growled once more, at her ear.
Lorraine discovered Pat, then.
What are you doing?" Lo-
raine shrieked.

erybody and pushing Lorraine

raine began repeating it, but her
voice was drowned out and Ed
himself was subtly forcing her
away from the plane!

QUICK CHANGE

Nearly 10000 people had
gathered at Sky Harbor to wei
com the soaring plane, and SO
Ed wasn't quite sure what to do
with himself and Pat after they
landed. They just chung near the
|, main hangers on the east side OF
the field. And then the sailplane
came into view.
He'll come right in because
it's getting night and he won't
want to disappoint the people,
Ed told Pat.
Jimmy's tow ship landed un-
obtrusively, but as the sailplane
elided beautifully down, great
cheering arose. A special detail
of soldiers held back the people
but Pat and Ed were inside this
ring.
When the sailplane touched
the ground, a small knot of me-
chanics and officials ran from
the hangers to escort it in close
