Liberty Ship Named for
Kin of Bing Crosby

The Liberty ship Nathaniel Crosby
named for an early Columbia riv-
er captain who was the great-grand-
father of Bing and Bob Crosby.
Captain Crosby was a leading fig
ure in the development of Oregon
and is credited by historians with
being the founder of at least two
towns, Toulon and st. Helens, Ore.
Sailing from Maine in the bark
Toulon, Captain Crosby first reached
the Columbia river in 1845. He made
a number of voyages from Maine to
Oregon and brought from Maine
ready-cut lumber with which he built
the first frame house in Portland.
This house is now preserved by the
Oregon State Historical society. With
his brothers, Captains Clanrick and
Alfred Crosby, he transported sup
plies UP the Columbia river and
served as a pilot for other ships.
Captain Crosby may well be con-
sidered an early exponent of mer-
chant shipping. He did much to es-
tablish trade with China and it was
during one of his trips there in 1856
that he died in Hongkong.

Ripen After Frost

Small patches of tender vegeta-
bles in Victory gardens can be rip
ened for several weeks after the
first frost by the use of protective
covering which will admit some light
and warmth but will prevent frost
ing of the edible vegetables. In
this way many gardeners can save
vegetables which are not matured at
the time of frost.
Such vegetables, often the main
crop tender vegetables, may include
tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucum-
bers, squash, cantaloupe and so
forth. Shortly before the first frost
is expected, or even after the first
light frost, the vines can be drawn
up into a small space and covered
with burlap, light blankets, clean
straw, or hay. The roots are left
intact and continue to nourish the
plants.
Much fruit, which would otherwise
not mature, will ripen in this man.
ner and the covering can be re-
moved at intervals to pick the ripe
fruit. The ground should be given
occasional light irrigations to keep
the plants growing under the cover
ing.

SUPPORT THE SEAL SALE

On November 22nd, the annual
Christmas Seal Sale, sponsored by
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton, opened and will continue until
Christmas. The money raised from
this sale enables the Association to
fight tuberculosis in Mar d
through clinics, x-rays,, medical re-
search, tuberculin testing, health ed
ucation, Negro program and the
Miracle House, and the cause is vi
tai and one that everybody can sup
port, as the seals sell for one cent
each, and every penny spent in their
purchase helps swell the total. Your
pennies help make the dollars that
are needed more than ever.
The repercussion of a world on
fire reaches all of our homes. 1t is
unfortunate that in times such as
these our protective public health
wall is menaced. tuberculosis is al
ready rampant in occupied Europe,
the death rate in Breat Britain has
increased alarmingly, and already
signs point toward an increase here.

Mighty Man

In spite of Paul Bunyan's clever
figuring, sometimes mistakes of his
strawbosses upset his plans. For in
stance, once Chris Crosshaul, one of
Paul's careless foremen, took drive
down the Mississippi, but found out
when the logs got down to New
Orleans-that he had taken the wrong
tow. The owners refused to accept
the logs, and it was up to Paul to
take them back upstream. No one
but Paul could have done the job,
because driving logs upstream is
impossible. However, Paul fed
Babe, the Blue Ok, a big salt ra-
ton and drove him to the upper Mis-
sissippi to drink. Babe drank the
river dry and sucked the water up
stream, and SO the logs went back up
the river faster than they came
down. Skeptical? Ask any old lum-
berjack if this isn't true.

Thomas Chippendale

Beyond doubt the leading fashion
able cabinetmaker of London from
1850 to ITS was Thomas Chippen-
dale, so much so that his name
has long stood for his period in spite
of equally talented contemporaries.
The finest examples of Chippendale
style, most Of them made of mahog-
any, are peers of any of the great
furniture Of the world. They are
soundly yet spiritedly, designed,
their joinery is perfection, their
carving crisp and exquisite and their
color and texture deep and rich.
Chippendale worked with four mo-
tits, Queen Anne, Gothic, Chinese
and French. His first, an improve
ment of decorated Queen Anne and
artistically his finest, showed flow
ing curves. In chairs he replaced
the fiddle shaped splat with the deli
cate ribbon back, the Gabrielle leg
and Dutch foot with ball and claw.
From this in turn he developed a
straight leg of grace and charm.

ABUSE OF POWER CHARGED TC
OPA

Accused by one Congressional COM
mittee of assuming unauthorized
power to legislate by regulations, y
the Office of Price Administration
was defended by another for its
fight for price control"
In a sharply worded report to the
House, special committee headed
by Representative Smith (D-Va.G,
held the price-f1xing and rationing
agency has issued illegal, absurd
useless and conflicting" regulations
and has construed its power to au-
thorize it to sentence citizens of the
United States to starvation"
The report Of the Smith committee
created to review acts of executive
agencies, was promptly attacked by
another group as being biased upon
questionable and in many instances
seriously biased interpretations OF
the statutory and constitutional pow
ers of the OPA."
The Congressional attack on OPA
came as the Supreme Court decided
to review the constitutionality OF
government rent control regulation
applying ito the homes of more than
8O,000,000 persons.

FORESTRY NEEDS OF STATE
OUTLINED

Suggestions that the Federal Gov
eminent seek approval of the State
before further extension of national
forest areas, and that there should
be annual payment of 15 per cent by
the Federal Government for such
forest araes, in lieu of taxes on per
acre basis, were contained in COM
prehensive review of State Forestry
prob. ems In the State of Maryland,
submitted by Governor Herbert r.
| O'Concr to Governor Earl Smell, of
Oregon, Chairman of the Forestry
Committee of the Council of State
Governments.
! The National Committee Is making
a Country wide survey of the hand
ling of forestry affairs within the
States, as we'll as of the relations
between the States and the Federal
, Government in such matter, prepare
tory to the formulation of national
program for Federal-State action in
the fed of forestry.
/ The need of additional research
was pointed out by Governor O'Conor
both in the growing of timber, where
he declared there was very urgent
need for study of reforestation of
abandoned lands to stimulate growth
and wa,lerholding capacity of soil,
as well as in the utilization of tim
Der, particularly in the field of plas-
tics, which will bring new forestry
problems in the near future.
In connection with the suggestion
that the Federal Government pay
Is per cent annually in lieu of taxes
on a per acre basis, Governor O'Con-
or pointed out that this is now the
amount paid by the Department of
State Forests and Parks to Counties
in lieu of taxes. This Is per cent de-
rived from revenues act ual ly
amounts to more than the Counties
received in past years while the
same land was in private hands, the
Governor made known, and is likely
| to increase with careful management.
The opinion was expressed also that
State and Federal inheritance taxes
tend to discourage preservation Of
forests by private owners, and that
Federal laws should be amended to
encourage ownership and improve
ment of timber lands.
Inasmuch as the State of Marland
now owns $4,000 acres of forest
| lands, the Governor added, upon
which a total of s304,594 was ex-
pended in the last fiscal year, it is
lie AIAA f.,1
turns be secured, both as to utiliza-
ion of these lands by the public,
and as to realizing upon valuable
products of this vast stretch of forest
lands.

HoBBLE-HITLER HOBBIES

Hitter doesn't know it, but farm
families in Carroll County, Ohio, are
helping to forge his ball and chain
by. organizing "Hobble Hitler with
Hobbies Clubs
These hobbies, as reported to the
Var Food Administration, are not
time-filling past times. They have
efinite purpose, which is, says the
Farm Security supervisor, to help
horten the war by supplying to
Uncle Sam more of what he needs;
$50 earning for war bonds.
This. for example, is the way the
Hobb,e Hitler Club idea works on
the Lawrence Freshly farm. Mr..
Freshly, with an eye to the sugar
situation, obtained FSA loan to ex-
land his Bookkeeping, an extra on
MS farm He tends bees after regu-
lar farm chores are done, and last
year marketed more than 500 pounds
If honey. This years crop is order
ed.
His two sons, 13 and H., decided
to hobble Hitler by raising rabbits.
They furnish fur to a Connecticut
war plant at S7.75 a pound and sell
the meat to ready buyers.
Mrs. Freshly's hobby is paper
hanging, and she does papering for
neighbors in her spare time, thereby
freeing a man for heavier duty in
war work.

NEW CONTROLS PLACED ON
COAL

The Solid Fuels Administration
has announced stringent new controls
over the retail distribution of anthra-
cite coal.
Consumers using less than IL tons
annually are prohibited from accept
in amy deliveries if they have two
tons or more on hand. Deliveries to
eligible recipients will be limited to
two tons.
The order also specifies that deal
ers must supply consumers having
less than one ton on hand before
filing other orders.
The previous controls over anthra-
cite deliveries were exercised by the
OPA but that agency relinquished
this authority to the STA to CEN
tralize responsibility for distribution
under one Federal agency. The War
Production Board approve d T. e
transfer of authority.
For consumers whose annual re-
Quirements exceed IL tons, the deal
or, will be permitted to deliver in
any quantity provided that the tom
mage delivered, plus the disable solid
fuels on hand, does not exceed 30
day supply.
Consumers in this classification
who have less than 10 days supply
on hand are given preferential rat
ing.
Signed statements will be reQuir-
al from cOnsumers showing the
stocks of solid fuel on hand and an
nual requirements.
Anthracite sizes generally known
~ broken, egg, stove, chestnut, pea,
and number one buckwheat are COW
ered by this order.

fruit is living organism. breathing
oxygen and throwing of carbon di.
oxide, even after it has been Cut
from the tree. In order that the life
process may go on properly, the
fruit must be kept well ventilated
and within narrow range Of tenn

grees Fahrenheit. To maintain the
proper temperature, the holds are
refrigerated in the summer and heat
ed in the winter.

Falling Bodies

Not the weight of the body but
the attraction of gravitation deter
mines the velocity with which arti-
cles fall. If there were no air all
bodies, regardless of weight or mass,
would fall through given distance
in the same time. But the existence
of atmosphere modifies this to the
extent that the FRACTIONAL or viscous
drag upon the falling body depends
approximately on its area. Conse-
quently heavier or denser bodies
are retarded less in proportion to
their mass. A piece of paper and
a coin would fall at the same speed
in vacuum, but in air, paper is
more retarded and falls less rapidly
than the coin.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is truly American
Holiday. No other country on the
globe has anything else like it. True,
many countries and many religions
do have a day set aside to celebrate
the harvest of the crops. None, how
ever, spend that day in mood OF
national thankfulness. Despite the
fact that war has touched nearly
every home in our land, we here in
the United States, have much to be
thankful for. But nothing exceeds
the gratitude we ought to have for a
land which can yearly celebrate in
reverent mood, an abstract idea.

In Colonial America prior to 170O
furniture was of two types. The
primitive type, beginning with the

carpenters, wheelwrights or joiners,

AS the Colonies developed, how
ever, wealthy planters of Virginia
and leading citizens of the seaboard

Swine Sanitation

A sound basis for hog health is
the swine sanitation system under
which young pigs are raised on clean
pastures. Hog cholera, although still
a dangerous disease, can be con-
trolled with reasonable certainty by
vaccination. In spite Of the fact that
the death rate from cholera is one
fifth of what it was 20 years ago,
the disease is still so costly that
vaccination is advisable in all areas
where outbreaks have occurred in
recent years. It tends to spread
most rapidly in areas where swine
are numerous.
