Protect
House Plants
During Winter
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

KEEPING HOUSE plants
growing during the winter is
largely matter of horse
sense. Consider the size of the
pot the plant is growing in.
The smaller the pot, the more
decorative it is because it can
be stood in a limited space. So,
while ii does not pay to give
a plant more soil than il needs,
it is absolutely vital to keep
that little soil in such condi-
ton that the plant can thrive
in il.
There's the matter OF air.
Keeping the top Of the soil
from packing by cultivating it
frequently (even if the tool
used is a hairpin) will help adj
NIT air TO the roots. Then,
there's a question of water. The
soil should not be dry. but
neither should it be water
logged.

American Farmers
InsuranceCO Company
Is Fair Concern

It has come to the attention of
W. B. Walker, St. Paul insurance
salesman, that some people in the
community have confused Ameri-
can Farmers Mutual Insurance Co.
with The Cooperative Life Insur-
ance Co., who has refused to &C
cept Negro applications for insur-
ance, upon the recommendation of
DR.. Frank Hirschfeld of Mime
apolis.
American Farmers Mutual is an
automobile insurance company,
only, and has always dealt with
Negroes fairly and with no regard
for race or color, writes all policies
on the same basis with the same
rates, depending only on the
amount of coverage desired by the
car owner.
Several years ago, when a bill
was introduced in the state legisla-
ture, which later passed, to protect
Negroes from discriminating auto
mobile insurance companies, Amer
lean Farmers was the only COM
pany in the Twin Cities found to
have positively no discriminatory
policies. AS a result an agency
was set up by The Associated Ne
gro credit union to solicit members
for the American Farmers Co. W.
B. (Dad) Walker became a solicit
tor then for this company and has
since become an agent for several
other companies writing various
types of policies.
Mr.. Walker said this week,
American Farmers is fair to the
letter, with all their policyholders
and agents, regardless of race,
creed or color and it is unfortunate
that it should be confused, even by
a few, with a company practicing
the policies used by Cooperative
Life"

Horn Predicts
Complete Victory
Over Enemies

American victory so COM
plete that never again will an
enemy try to destroy the
United States and the things
for which it stands is coming
sooner than we expect"
Charles L. Horn, president of Fed
eral Cartridge corporation, opera
tors of the big Twin Cities ordnance
plant at New Brighton, declared
Monday as the plant was honored
with the Army-Navy "E" pennant.
'The time will come, and it
surely will come sooner than
we expect, when the victory
will be won and we again will
turn to our normal pursuits"
Horn told company employees
and guests assembled at the
plant for the award ceremonies.
1--WE must work hard because
war is hard work and we will suffer
loss of relatives and friends, but
the victory, when it comes, will be
so complete that never again will
an enemy try to destroy the United
States and the things for which it
stands" Horn said.
Employees See Rites
The ordnance works suspended
operations for an hour Monday to
allow thousands of employees to see
the ceremonies at which the Army
and Navy honored the production
record of the Twin Cities plant.

Petty Thieves
Rob Doctor
Weber's Office

The office of DR.. Earl S. Weber,
1873 E. Sixth street, was robbed
over the weekend by petty thieves
who took between forty and fifty
dollars worth of pennies, a half
carton of cigarettes, and several
hundred Raleigh cigarette coupons.
The providers entered the office
via fire escape and apparently knew
that the money was there since
none of the other offices in the
building was robbed. They ram
sacked DR.. Weber's desk and medi-
cine cabinet, but ignored valuable
instruments and gold that was
there.
DR.. Weber called detectives who
took fingerprints which may lead
to the apprehension Of the thieves.

club has a total floor space cover
age of 100000 feet. Contrasting
ly, white officers have a service
club; the white USO is a spacious
two-story building; white enlisted

space measuring 350x500 feet.
Meager facilities are provided
for treatment of Negro soldiers af-
flicted with venereal diseases. White
civilian nurses in the camp hospital
have refused to handle Negro pa
tents, and in Savannah there is
only one prophylactic station for
colored soldiers.
In two known instances, Negro
soldiers have been kicked by white
officers. On one occasion the Of

other, the officers punishment was

Contributing also to the tension
