BY Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Farmers who feel overwhelmed
with spring work might give a
thought to the farmers along the
Missouri river, who have been clean
ing the mud out of their barns and
have been delayed by floods-won-
dering if they ever can start spring
work without all that trouble.
City dailies are writing too much
about scare stories of food shortage
and farm folks gorging on the good
things from the farm.
If the true stories were printed
they would hear of farm women
serving countless meatless meals,
even though they have access to
plenty of meat, about the many farm
women who milk several cows morn
ing and night so the men can get
ahead with field work, about old men,
past retirement age-who are riding
on hard seats of planters or disks
through long hours of wind, dust and
chilly weather, about farm girls and
boys who are feeding chickens, milk
ing cows and giving the farmstead a
spring cleanup, all to help produce
bumper crop, assuring city peo-
pie and armed forces plenty of food
and fibre.
One good thing about victory gar
dens in cities is that they will make
town people more liberal about food
prices. Anyone who faithfully and
thoroughly tends garden all through
the growing season will wonder how
on earth farmers can sell their crops
so cheap.
While housekeepers are seeing
how far their points will stretch in
city kitchens and army and lend
lease are calling for more foods, the
House Appropriation committee is
doing its best to cut off the produc-
ton by the one group of farmers
best able to increase production-the
rs per cent helped by the FSA.
These farms are below average in
| size, equipment and fertility. Still
they boosted milk increase 33 1i3
per cent, egg increase 10 per cent,
dry beans q per cent, pork per
cent. Such a record should lead to
increased appropriations and praise
for its leaders. Instead, the FSA is
marked for slaughter.

power commission, to make the fol-
lowing statements with regard to the
employment of teachers as affected
by regulations:
A teacher now employed, but not
under contract for next year, is re-
quired to remain in the present
teaching position until the end OF
the school year or until the expira-
ton of the contract, unless released
The teacher is, however, free to
negotiate a contract for next year.
A teacher under contract may
leave the profession to accept en-
ployment in some other occupation,
e. G. in industry, only upon being
properly released and securing a
statement of availability.
A teacher under contract may ac-
cept another teaching position if
granted a release and statement of
availability by the school board.
A person qualified to teach who
is now employed in an essential in
rustry may not leave such employ
ment to re-enter teaching, another
essential occupation, at higher SAL
airy unless granted a statement of
availability by the present employer.
A teacher, even though under con-
tract for next year, is free to accept
essential industrial employment for
the period when school is not in ses-
sion, but it must be stipulated that
such employment shall be terminated
before the contract requires the
teacher to return to the classroom. In
other words, summer employment
does not affect the contract which
the teacher has entered into for the
next school year.

the gigantic blow now being pre-
pared against him.
Quarrel.
At a most inopportune time the
quarrel between Russia and the Pol
iSh government-in-exil in London
has been deepened; the original con-
troversy concerning 10000 Polish Of
ficers alleged to have been killed
by the Russians two years ago had
been, practically speaking, ended al
though diplomatic relations between
the two governments remained-and
still reimbursement. Then, evil
IDENTIFY to appease Polish wrath, Prime
Minister Churchill assured the Poles
that when the war is over, they will
| once more have free and inde-
pendent state of their own. And
shortly thereafter Josef Stain, the
Soviet premier, gave a similar as
Surance.
But neither Churchill nor Sta
lin promised that Russia would
abandon that half Eastern part
of Poland which she occupied in
September, 1889, and that is the
very thing which lies back of
the pending conflict. The Poles
want their territory back-and
Russia at present does not seem
to agree with that viewpoint.
To make matters still more tick
! liSh, the Russian government the day
after having expressed its friend
ship for the Poles and promised them
postwar independence, suddenly
charged that the Polish government
in London had subjected itself to
Nazi influence, and that espionage
against Russian interests had been
carried out cloaked behind diplo-
matte manoeuverS.
Missions to Moscow.
The present Russo-Polish squabble
probably forms the background for
an upsurge of diplomatic negotiations
now going on or being prepared.
Maxim Litvinov, Russia's ambas-
sador to the United States, has left
for Moscow, and so has the former
American ambassador to Russia
Joseph E. Davies, charged with a
deeply confidential task by President
Roosevelt Likewise, there have been
conversations between the British
ambassador in Moscow and the Rus
sian foreign commissar, while the
Russian ambassador in London has
been exchanging views with British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
1t is of the utmost importance
that the Russo Polish problem be
solved nOw-just before the
United Nations apparently are
getting ready to begin their in
vasion of the continent.
And this is thought to be the mo-
tive back of the diplomatic activity
of the last few days.
Kiska Bombed.
On the Acknowledgements front,
United States bombers have again
attacked the japanese positions on
the islands of Kiska and Attu, and
although the enemy has not yet been
driven away, the Americans have
succeeded in establishing positions OF
their own on another of the Aleutian
islands within-and this is said to
be very mportant-fairly easy bomb
ing range of Tokyo.
Generally speaking, the events of
the last few days have been good
from the viewpoint of the United
States and all their allies.

FACTS ABOUT RABIES
QUARANTINE

All dogs must be confined or tied
"a hours a day until August 8, 1913.
Quarantining enforced by State
and County officers.
12O stray and unwanted dogs de-
stroyed ito date.
271 owners were warned by State
Officials when their dogs were found
loose on the street or roads and in
open and unfenced yards. 1t should
be remembered that all dogs must
be securely tied or penned at all
times.
Complaints of loose or stray dogs
have been reported from all sections
of the county.
The time spent by law-enforcing
officers in warning owners, who al
low their dogs to be loose in viola
ton of State law, seriously handi-
caps their efforts in Kidding the
county of stray dogs, which are a
menace to human life and live stock.
Full cooperation of all dog own
ers will greatly aid in cleaning up
this menace.
Dogs that can be captured by
quarantining enforcement officers
are held for "a hours before being
humanely destroyed. If your dog has
disappeared, call the Sheriff's Office,

WEAR A POPPY

Americas dead of two wars will
be honored this year, when millions
of Americans will wear red peoples
as a symbol Of remembrance. Elan
ders Fields are on the other side of
the world from Guadalcanal and a
quarter of century distant in time,
but the little wild poppy of Flanders
speaks for the dead of both battles.
The poppy is the memorial flower
for all who have died in America s
struggle against world slavery,
wherever and whenever they fell. We
wear it to show that we remember
them, honor them, and are continu-
ing to fight in the cause for which
they died.
Poppies, made by disabled war
veterans, are offered by the Ameri-
can Legion and other auxiliaries.
Contributions received will go in
their entirety to the rehabilitation
and child welfare funds of the Amer
lean Legion and Auxiliary efforts for
the disabled fighting men of both
wars, and for the children of the
dead and disabled.
Let everyone wear a poppy this
year as a personal pledge that we
will not break faith with those who
died, but will carry on the achieve
ment of the things for which they
gave their lives. Poppy Chairman.

RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL
VICTORY DAY

Victory Day, May 81, promises to
be memorable occasion at the Ris-
ing Sun High School. The 100000
goal that has been set for the stamp
and bond drive has gained moment
Im, and bids fair to be eclipsed.
Students, faculty, and towns-people
have responded to the enthusiasm
of the sponsors, Mr.. Raymond Shing-
Ter and Principal w. C. Graham,
and all indications point towards a
highly successful day.
Heading the Victory par e
through the town, an army Jeep will
give the caravan the Victory spirit.
Mr.. and Miss Victory, high school
pupils selected by the student body
as the outstanding workers towards
victory, will follow on a float es-
pecially designed for the event. The
various Victory Corps groups will
round out the parade.
The athletic events are scheduled
to take place shortly after the pa
rade, and have attracted numerous
entries from the high and elemen-
tary schools. 1t is considered likely
that the State Department of Edu-
cation, Physical Education Branch,
will have representatives on hand to
film the athletic displays.
Bonds and stamps will be on sale
throughout the day, and persons pur-
chasing a 25c. stamp or more will
be entitled to wear an especially de-
signed Victory badge.
The principal of the Rising Sun
High School, Mr.. William G. Ora
ham, has announced that the public
has been cordially invited to patron
ize Victory Day, and he reports that
many persons have already signified
their intentions of attending.

UNION HOSPITAL

The Introductory meeting of the
War Emergency Campaign for the
Union Hospital of Cecil County was
held. on Monday evening, the 18th,
at the Howard Hotel, and was ad-
dressed by United States Senator
George l.. Radcliffe of Maryland.
Senator James w. Hughes who is
serving as Campaign Chairman for
the fund to complete and equip the
Union Hospital, presided. In the OPP
ening of the meeting, Senator
Hughes said: 1.-THE Hospital was
established in 1908 in the residence
of the late William Singerly, and
since that time has shown steady
growth until, in 1941, it was found
necessary for the Board of Directors
to go to the people and ask them for
sufficient funds Ito build a nucleus
of a new hospital. At that time a
total of $4,000 was raised. Shortly
after the campaign, through the eff
forts of Senator Radcliffe, the hos
pital obtained a Government Grant
of 100000. With this grant there
were certain stipulations made as to
size and type of hospital to be erect
ed. AS a result of this expansion OF
the hospital program a change in
plans was necessary and the new
two-story hospital is now in the pro-
cess of construction. With the revis-
ed plans approved by the Govern
ment Agencies and the tremendous
increased cost of materials, it has
been found necessary, to bring the
hospital to completion, to have a
War Emergency Campaign of which
the goal has been set at $SS,95O.
With this additional sum of money
the Union Hospital of Cecil County
will have one of the most complete
and modern hospitals to be found
in the East"
Senator Radcliffe gave back
ground of the discussions leading
up to the Government Grant for the
Hospital and praised the citizens for
their fine spirit of cooperation in
raising the funds so far obtained and
said that he was sure that the ad-
ditional funds necessary to complete
the hospital would be raised in this
War Emergency Campaign.
E. d. E. Rollins, Chairman of the
Advanced Gifts Committee in the
present campaign, mentioned the
fact that Mrs Cantwell was forming
Women's Division for the cam
paign and had agreed to serve as
chairman of that division and that
he would therefore limit the organi-
zation of Advanced Gifts to the men
present at the meeting and, on the
motion of one of the men present
the men formed themselves into an
Advanced Gift Committee. This
Committee is to solicit preliminary
contributions throughout Cecil Co.
ranging from SIS to 500 and up in
the Campaign.
