Victory Volunteers Are
Satisfactory Farm Hands
Most of 100000 Young People Made Good,
Quickly Learning Agricultural SkIs,
And Working Hard and Long.
By BAUKHAGE %
Netvs ANALYST and Commentator.

OF course it was natural that the
farmers were skeptical at first at
the idea of letting these strange kids
overrun their places. But the
majority changed their minds when
they found how well the experiment
worked. The young folks couldn't
rival a trained farm worker, but
some were able to do much Of the
work as well, and in some cases,
even better. Many farmers ar
ranged to keep the same workers
the next year.
I talked to one farmer who took
on an utterly green city boy. It was
late summer when I saw them both.
They were going to part and I can
tell you both were pretty blue. School
time had come and the boys parents
thought he better come home. He
told me that he was going to be a
farmer when he grew up and I be-
ieve nothing will stop him.
I saw a letter from a Crop corps
city girl, very able at expressing her.

Illinois Court Trying
New Divorce Procedure

The Cook county (Chicago) circuit
court is using the pre-trial confer
ence method Of settling contested
divorce cases as a step toward
clearing calendars for an expected
postwar rush.
Primary purpose of the pre-trial
conferences is not reconciliation but
settlement of financial differences
that will permit cases to be heard
as default-when one person with
draws to permit granting of an I'm.
contested divorce.
Nearly all cases are past the rec
onciliation stage when they enter
court, according to Circuit Court
Judge Robert Jerome Dunno, who is
using the pre-trial conference meth
cd in an effort to speed up action on
a steadily mounting number Of
cases.
The procedure Is for Judge Dunno
to call both parties and their law
yers into his chambers for dis
cussion as soon as a case is put on
the contested calendar, according to
information to the American Munie-
ipal association.
After determining that reeoneilia-
ton is impossible, the judge inquiries
into the financial situation of the eou-
pie and generally suggests a lump
sum payment in lieu of alimony for
the wife. -4...--------.-.--.--- !

Winter Traffic Hazards

The war department is concerned
over the annual December peak IL
auto accidents, and Robert P. Pat
terson, undersecretary of war, and
Lieut.. Robert E. Raleigh, director
of the International Association Of
Chiefs of Police, have teamed up to
try to stop them.
Seven valuable tips, based on Ma
tional Safety council research. on
how to escape traffic tieups, skid
wrecks, lost time and road block
AIDES have been offered:
ID Reduce speeds on snow and
ice. It takes 3 to II times normal
distance to stop on snow or ice.
Repair old tire chains.
90 Protect visibility. Check de-
froster, windshield wipers, head
lights and keep windshield clean.
You must see hazard to avoid it.
CD Use anti-skid chains. Tire
chains reduce braking distances 40
to so per cent and provide traction
on snow or ice.
"a Don't crowd traffic. When
roads are slippery, allow three to
six car lengths for every 10 m.p.h.
because snow and Ice increase brak-
ing distances 3 to II times over those
required on dry pavement. Slipperi-
ness varies, glare ice at thawing
temperatures being twice as slip
perry as dry ice near zero.
go Anticipate mistakes. Drive so
that you are prepared for any emer-
gency under prevailing conditions.
Anticipate mistakes Of pedestrians
and other drivers.
co Signal your intentions. In turn
ing or stopping on hard-packed snow
or ice, remember other drivers need
more time and distance to adjust
themselves to your moves. Give
them a chance. Some may have
neglected chains and have insult
ficient traction.
Cd Mechanics are scarce and your
vehicle may have to last for the
duration. Essential transportation is
vital to victory. An ounce Of pre-
vention is now worth ten pounds of
cure.
Fifty million gallons of gasoline,
fuel oils, lubricants and other petro-
leum products are now going direct
ly to the fighting forces every day.

Uncle Sam, the smart old snooper,
notebook in hand, listens today at
keyholes all over the world, and
what he hears is amusing, crafty
ing, infuriating-and likewise very
helpful in outguessing the enemy. He
picks up the gossip in more than rs
languages, from Arabic to Urdu, but
mostly in English, German, and jap
anese. It's all done through radio
listening posts that pick up what the
wild waves are saying.
Uncle Sam hears more than 1,500,-
900 words day-what our enemies
are saying to Americans in the
United States, in the South Pacific,
India, China, and the Mediterranean
countries.
He picks up the lies they tell to
South Americans, Hindus, Arabs,
Russians, French, South African ma
tives-to everybody, everywhere.
He hears their official commune
ques, and, from his own military
knowledge, separates the truth from
the fa1sehoods. He listens in, too,
on neutrals and northumberland
even on his friends, for he wants to
keep up with what the British, Rus
sian, Chinese and Latin Americans
are talking about.
Sixty Enemy Stations.
In the Bible Job cries: "My desire
is that mine adversary had written
a book" A radio station operated
by somebody you'd like to destroy
is even more to be desired than a
book, and our adversaries, spouting
almost constantly over about go of
them, are unwittingly exposing to
our expert analysts facts that help
us block the enemy's punches and
hit him where it hurts the most.
When you enter the offices of the

Washington, d. G.
World War II has taught the world
that it Is one thing to raise an army
and another thing to feed it-feed its
mouths and feed its guns.
Il didn't take the United States
long after Pearl Harbor to realize
that it was easy enough to find
enough sailors and soldiers If you
didn't have to worry about finding
the civilians to take care Of them.
At present 10 men out of every
100 are deferred from military serv-
ice because industry needs them;
10 out of every 100 because the
farmers have to have them. Thirty
six out of every 100 men now in the
armed forces were working in shops
or factories In 1910. Twenty three
out of every 100 were on farms
three years ago.
Industry has charged that con-
gress has been kindlier to the farm
ers when it came to deferring their
help than it has been to them. How
ever that may be, you won't hear
any farmers complaining about hav-
ing too much help. One thing, how
ever, according to the reports that
have come into the department Of
agriculture, the farmers are not
complaining on one score that lot
Of them thought they were going to
have to complain about-that is, the
help they get from the Victory Farm
Volunteers Of the U. S. Crop corps.
Many farmers who came to scott
remained to pray for more Of the
same.
Not all Of the young folks who
worked on farms this summer were
perfect. It is estimated that there
may have been some 700, 900 Of these
young people, half were provided
through the Federal Extension serv-
ice of the War Food administration
as many more probably found jobs
for themselves. Under the leader
ship Of the State Extension service
and with the active support of the
schools, the youth-serving agencies,
civic organizations and farm lead
ers, these Victory Farm Volunteers
were assembled. Most Of them
made good.
Their story makes an interesting
chapter in the history of American
youth.
"A Huge Task
It was no little job to launch the
project. Forty-three state farm Ia
Dor supervisors and some 5000
county farm labor assistants, under
the guidance of the county extension
agents, worked out the plans and
procedure based on the local needs.
They worked with state, county and
often local labor committees.
OF course, training was necessary.
The boys and girls were carefully
selected and many specially trained
and supervised, and the farmers
themselves learned that they could
train better if they had little train
ing in the art of teaching themselves.
This was provided.
Most Of the young workers lived
at home and were transported to
the farms. This was done in school
buses, trucks or cars. Teachers,
ministers, youth leaders, acting as
supervisors, often accompanied the
workers right into the fields.
In some places. boys lived in
camps, but $4,000 boys and girls
lived right with the families where
they worked and many soon became
part of the family, joining its activ-
tiles, church, grange meetings,
dances, picnics. Some liked the life
so well. especially those from the
big cities, that they stayed right
