WASHINGTON, Oct. Giving
off the country" is an old military
custom. Usually it means foraging,
or requisitioning available food
stuffs from helpless civilians. The
American Army doesn't go for that
sort of thing, but thousands of U.
S. soldiers abroad are living off the
country just the same-and with
the blessing and assistance of the
War Department.
They're raising Victory gardens.
For more than a year now the
quartermaster corps has been send
ing seeds, tools and fertilizer to re-
mote Pacific outposts and to gar
risons in other parts of the world
where garden fresh vegetables help
break the monotony of cans and
packages.
Many Army installations in this
country have Victory gardens too,
but most important agricultural eff
fort is taking place in the British
Isles. There it's a joint British
American job, with the British fur
nishing all the equipment and sup
plies from stock or previously ar
ranged lend-lease items. Both Brit
ish and American soldiers work in
the gardens.
In a -publicized report, Brig.
Gen. Robert A. Littlejohn, chief
quartermaster for the European
theatre of operations, told Maj. Gen.
E. B. Gregory, the quartermaster
general, that all suitable land in
both British and American posts,
camps and stations has been taken
under cultivation.
Approximately $4,000 acres are
now being cultivated, General
Littlejohn reported, and 1000 more
are expected to be added by the end

While the State War Council is eX-

of such applications, the number of

Members of Local 96 We're sorry to
see the passage of the Smith-COnnally

letter was sent President Roosevelt
asking that he veto the bill. Members
of the National Brotherhood of Oper-

For the benefit of sssOss- who may not

These men are definitely enemies of
labor and by our vote we can return
them to private life. Let's start now
to formulate plans for having every
voter throughout the trade registered

would be to have every local in the
