Aerial Robin Hoods

Although the cadets at Ran
dolph Field, Texas, West Point of the
Air, may never have a chance to
send an arrow twanging toward the
Japs or Nazis, they would prove
mighty dangerous with a long bow
if the occasion to use one ever arose.
To aid them in developing a sense
of sighting and trajectory for the
time when they will send steel spit
ting from the guns of their fighting
planes, Randolph's tyro pilots learn
to be experts with the bow and ar
row. Teacher of cadet archery is
Private Lloyd c. Schwartz, twice
bow and arrow champion of Texas
and once Southern champion. A San
Antonio boy, Private Schwartz is
teaching cadets to be experts at plac-
ing arrows in the target at a dis
lance of $50 yards. This is called
"cloud shooting" Another trick the
cadets practice is sinking arrows in
q two-inch target at 100 feet. One
Of these days they'll be the Robin
Hoods Of the air.

More Country, Less Aridness

Principally an agricultural coun-
try, French Morocco presents more
fertile appearance than one familiar
with motion picture romances
set in its ''desert wastes" might sus-
pect. There are large areas of sandy
and rocky desolation, but abundant
crops Of wheat, barley, corn, beans
and other vegetables, as well as
groves of olive, lemon, orange, fig,
and almond trees clothe the produc-
tive regions, particularly in the
broad, river-ribbed plains north Of
the Atlas mountains. French Mo-
rocco has almost five million acres
of forests, made up of cork, cedar,
oak and palm trees, in addition to
the extensive orchards and vine
yards. High in the Atlas mountains
huge cedars attain Q height Of more
than 100 feet.

Tunisian Port of Bizerte
AT Mediterranean Narrows

Geography and modern harbor de-
velopment have made the Tunisian
port of Bizerte one of the most sig
nificant positions along the entire
Mediterranean front. It overlooks
the central Mediterranean 'nar-
rows" between Europe and North
Africa; it is only about 100 miles
from Italian Sardinia on the north
west, and $50 miles from Italian
Sicily on the northeast. Moreover,
land and water formation about it
provides conditions that are par
ticularly favorable for its use as a
naval base. Bizerte has, in effect,
three harbors. The outer har-
Dor is artifcially protected by jet
ties thrust into the Mediterranean
sea. From it narrow canal leads
inland to the Bay of Sebra, which
in turn opens into Bizerte lake, a
deep, 50-square mile expanse Of
water that offers anchorage for the
largest fleets Of battleships, cruis-
ers, submarines, flying boats, and
the rest. Although the canal repre-
sents a bottleneck, the lake has the
wartime advantage of being, at
places, some ten miles from the en-
trance to the port.

10, the winter is past"
n Los xn6eIss Examiner

THERE comes time in the chang
ing seasons when there is new
warmth i'm the breeze, and a touch
of new color along the wayside. In
the steppes of Asia the snow begins
to melt, in the English hedgerows the
children look for the first primrose,
and on the western prairies faint
shoots of green appear. Everywhere
there is stirring of new hope in
the hearts of men, and we may be
reminded of the words from a ia.
miliar song of spring written thou
sands of years ago (Solomon's Song
2:11, l2). "I.o. the winter is past. the
rain is over and gone; the flowers
appear on the earth; the time of the
singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is beard in our
land"
Today the perennial promise of
spring comes to troubled world,
world which is facing the difficulties
of strife, confusion, and seeming loss,
with their increasing demands for
sacrifice. There is need for strength
and courage to face the problems of
present-day conditions, but the great
est need is for clear understand
ing of the omnipotence of God, of
His ever-presence and availability
here and now. =. The joyous days
of spring, with their warmth and
sunshine, bird calls, and budding
trees, illustrate the renewed hope
with which men turn expectantly to
the Scriptural promises of healing
and restoration. :.
In an article, "Voices of Spring." in
miscellaneous Writings" Mary Ba-
ker Eddy says Up. 1907: Human
hope and faith should join in ma
lures grand harmony, and, If on
minor key, make music in the heart.
And man, more friendly, should call
his race as gently to the springtide
of Christ's dear lo,1s@' There are
few of us Indifferent to natures
grand harmony when, after cold
wintry days, we hear the song of
birds again and watch the unfold
ing of budding tree and blossom.
However long and difficult the win
ter may have seemed to be, we were
always sure of its breaking up in
due season. We had no doubt about
it, any more than we had about day
following night. -.
"The springtide of Christ's dear
love-" is a perpetual springtide, ever
present, unchanging, and unfailing.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-04-23

The ever-present truth about God
and man is to us law of perpetual
renewal.
The prophet Hosea exhorted the
people Hosea 10:12), "Break UP
your fallow ground: for it is time
to seek the Lord, till he come and
rain Righteousness upon you." The
land that has lain fallow all winter
must be broken up and made ready
for the sowing. So does the appear
ing of the Christ, Truth, to human
consciousness begin at once to break
up the stubborn beliefs of apathy, in
ertia, and sluggishness, and to re-
place them with a joyous activity
that is hungering and thirsting after
Righteousness.
Sometimes even in the midst Of
sunny days we may seem to be mem
tally experiencing winter of de-
preston and discomfort until some
clarion call of Truth awakens us to
our need of more spiritual activity.
The Psalmist cried Psalms 42:11),
"Why art thou cast down, O my
soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God: for /
shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my
God" We cannot remain long dis
quieted when we turn away from
the evidences of the material senses
and accept the facts of being which
spiritual sense perceives. The glori-
Gus fact that God is the health Of
our countenance can be demon
strated here and now through the
knowledge that God is the only
creator, and that man, His image and
likeness, is endowed with health,
happiness, and immortality. -.
We do not gain any great good
simply by desiring it. We need to
add to our desire the giving up of
that which would hinder our real
ization of "the springtide of Christ's
dear love-" The false beliefs of per-
sonal sense, worry, doubt, fear, re-
sentiment, pride, and stubborn self
will must be given up and replaced
by the spiritual qualities which con-
stitute mans real being. In proper
ton as we are honestly trying to do
this, our trials and Affections will
become less, our "joys and tri-
umphs'' will increase, and, looking
back at some landmark in our ex-
perience, we shall be able triumph
antly to say, do, the winter is past.

MILK PRICE INCREASE FOR
FARMER ON WAY

Promptly upon learning of the 35-
cent increase in the producer price
for milk, Interstate Milk PRODUCE
ers' Cooperative sent a notice to it's
members whose prices are covered by
the Federal Marketing order for
Philadelphia, informing them Of this
development. This notice was sent on
April LIST, as follows:
I'VE have just learned that Glass
price increase Of IS cents a hundred
has been tentatively approved for
Philadelphia and are passing this
news on to you at once. The proposed
new price will be $4.05 per cwt., for
4 percent milk.
1--WE have not yet learned the ex-
act date on which this increase can
become effective, but know that it
will be within the shortest time pos
sible permitted by law.
''This has come as the result Of
Inter-State's testimony. Getting the
increase through was doubly difficult
in view of the present national poll
cy of holding down the cost Of living.
and has required constant work on
the part Of your organization. know
you will be as happy to receive this
news as we are to get it."
Inter-State's Board of Directors, at
a meeting ON April End, requested
the Food Distribution Administration
to make the new milk price effective
at the earliest possible date"
1t is noted that the proposed
amendment to the marketing order
covers only the price change on Class
/ milk. 1t Is expected that other cham
ges in the order which were request
ed by Interstate and others at the
public hearing held in January will
be taken up at later date, this pro-
cedure avoiding possible delay on
the urgently needed price increase.

services officer at Camp Roberts,
Calf, recently received q letter
postmarked April 8, 1912. Mailed by
a former fellow-soldier from Some
where in Ireland last spring, the let
ter went first to Ft. Benning, Ga,
but Lieutenant Strozdas didn't live
there any more. The second try sent
it to Council Bluffs, Iowa, but the
lieutenant was at Sioux City In
stead. Back once more to the

and because of the war, we are called
upon to furnish food and other sup
plies for most of the world. 1t is also
true that soldiers require more food
than they consume as civilians.
The farmer needs manpower,
trucks and farm machinery. Due to
the war, the War Production Board
has had to clamp down on the manu-
facturers of farm machinery and
trucks. Now, the blight of the farmer
is SO acute, as the Armed forces and
war industries have taken so many
men from the farms that unless this
problem is solved, there viii be an
actual shortage of food in this coun-
try the coming year experts say.

West Virginia and the District Of
Columbia completed the regular Red
Cross courses. More than $500 men
and women in the system are Red
Cross qualified instructors.
Experience over the years has
proved that the value of first aid goes
beyond the immediate aid given to a
sick or injured person. Now, In war,
it becomes an even more important
force, as the home front is organized
to meet disasters Of any kind. New
interest in first aid has arisen among
telephone people as well as the gem
eral public. Thousands of Bell Sys-
tenn men and women have taken first
aid training in their companies since
Pearl Harbor. Because of such train
ing, telephone people are better pre-
pared to take active roles in Civilian
Defense and other hsme front activi-
ties, as well as to teach first aid
classes in their home communities.

u. 5. Becoming Have Not;
Department Is Suggested

Because the United States is rap
idly becoming a shave not" in Its
critical mineral reserves, federal
department of mineral industries to
coordinate the activities of produc-
ton, utilization, and conservation Of
our mineral supply was urged re-
Gently by Dean Edward Steidle of the
school of mineral industries at the
Pennsylvania State college.
At present there is no centralized
department for mineral industries In
the federal government, he stated.
This Important field is broken UP
and relegated to various bureaus in
different departments.
Standardized federal and state
mining laws are needed to conserve
our critical Minerals" he said.
Lack of adequate stocks of miner
ais is due to the haphazard explora-
ton and development of our mineral
deposits which have been wasted
frequently for want Of such unified
legislation" he added.
"The public has complacently ac-
cepted what appears to be an in
exhaustible supply of mineral prod
ucts until we were rudely awak-
ened by war priorities, and we sim
ply fail to recognize the role that
minerals now play in modern indus
try, how important they are in the
maintenance of American standards
of living, or that the United States
is not endowed with many so-called
critical Minerals" Dean Steidle re-
minded.

Tribute to Barbary Pirates

In Algeria, French North African
colony where American armed forces
landed, other American fighting men
defeated Algerian pirates q century
and a quarter ago. But this was not
accomplished until Uncle Sam had
paid heavy tribute to the Barbary
pirates who once controlled the sea
lanes of the Mediterranean. In 1795
this nation paid the pirates, whose
headquarters was in Algiers, $685.
600. Three years later the tribute
was four warships. Tired of this
"shakedown," the United States
navy sailed into African waters in
1915 and won a decisive victory
against them.

FARMERS SUFFERING FIRE LOSS

FAftMEftS SUFFERING FIRE LUSS
Trainers are suffering heavy fire
losses" says C. e. Phillips, forage
crop specialist OF the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service, land from
fires set deliberately. No arrests can
be made. The farmers are setting the
fires themselves"
Mr.. Phillips explains that state
ment. Many farmers are getting ready
for spring blowing. Some of the fields
have heavy growths of grass and
weeds, and blowing them under is
tough job. So. the farmer burns them
off. His losses come from burning ex-
actly what he sets out to burn, not
from stray fires. What he does not
realize is that the dead grass and
weeds contain nitrogen which his
crops need to produce paying yields
nitrogen which cannot be replaced
this year, because during the emer-
gency period nitrogen is seriously
limited.
Valuable organic matter or humus,
as well as nitrogen, is in that smoke,
tOO. AAuhAuo 40 dOSdyO0 PAShI CAAoA,
and grass and weeds are as valuable
source as manure. One of the most
important advantages of fertile soils
over rundown soils is the humus con-
tent 1t helps the soil hold moisture,
makes it easier to till, helps hold
plant food ready for growth, and sup
ports valuable bacterial life in the
soil.
This year particularly, when nitro
gen content of fertilizers is necessar-
lily reduced and when we need all the
food and feed we can produce, save
the nitrogen an humus. Plow down
all weeds dead grass, cornstalks,
straw and other crop residues rather
than burning them. The increased
yields will be well worth the harder
lob.

MAN POWER MAJOR PROBLEM

The allotment of manpower as be-
tween the military, industrial and
farming elements of the war efforts,
not to say civilian requirements OF
production, is one of the most COM
plicated problems now confronting
the country and one on which there
is honest and sharp divergence of
opinion.
Because our territorial domain
contains most, though not all, the raw
materials we need to support our
economy, we have been prone to
think that it would never be neces-
sary for the American people to cur
tail their food consumption. Ordinar-
lily that would be true. but right now

of the Municipal bureau of recrea-
ton of Dayton, Ohio. In order to
earn a certificate emitting the vol
unteer to wear an OCD badge, 1t is
necessary to complete Is hours of
service. Time must be devoted in
either leadership capacities or
maintenance duties, such as care of
equipment and facilities. In order
to continue wearing the award, the
volunteers must continue activities
after the citation has been made.
About 125 awards were made
throughout the past summer with an

PROTEIN CONSERVATION
PROGRAM

appointment of county committees
to work with county agricultural
agents in promoting protein conser-
walton program took place at a con-
ference of feed manufacturers, dis
tributors, county agents, and extern
sion men at the Lord Baltimore Hoo
tel, Baltimore, April z. Dr. T. B.
Symons, Dean of Agriculture and DIE
rector of the Extension Service, who
called the conference, presided.
The committees, heads of which
will serve as statewide feed council
under the Craftsmanship of X. A.
CLARK, of Frederick, were named
after the body adopted as its protein
conservation program the one drafted
by the feed industry and the, U. s.
Department OF Agriculture. The pro-
gram was presented to the group
Wednesday by p. w. Chichester of
Frederick. The state committee Is
responsible for planning series Of
county meetings at which local feed
distributors will study protein conser-
walton and home production of, feed
stuffs.
DR.. w. B. Kemp, head Of the
Agronomy Department at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, gave report on
the feed situation In the state which
showed that there will be net feed
deficiency In Maryland alone of 740,-
900 tons OF feed, the total feed needs
of the state for all kinds of livestock
being 100000 tons.
1t was brought out that dairymen
could help consrve protein by feeding
lower protein grain rations. Aside
from high protein grain supple
ment for the mixing, the top level of
protein for regularly mired CONNER
cial feed need be no more than 1870
when fed with timothy or other nom
legume hay. Farmers will be urged
to cut hay early enough to insure
good quality, to plant more hybrid
corn, and to use more legumes in pas
ture and hay crops to increase pro-
tein production on the farm.
