"once in a great while the
field of politics gives the public
a chance to select a candidate
for Office who is SO superbly
qualified that he transcends
party line. BENJAMIN ]. Davis,
Jr., is such a man."
The mood of the conference
was one with the statement of
DR.. Cannon; and conferees were
unanimous in speaking of Mr..
Davis as a unifying force in the
coming elections, since Republi-
cans, Democrats, Independents
and Communists were uniting in
support Of his candidacy.

II you aren't planning ration

time. There are so many interest
ing activities you can incorporate in
the party. Just to get things started
off on the right foot-and to be sure
that everyone meets and knows ev-
eryone else-try this variation of the
old "Who Am II" game.
AS the guests enter the door, hand
each a slip with the name Of
rationed product on it-coffee, tea,
beef, butter, gasoline, sugar. Caution
each not to disclose his identity.
Guests will then mingle with the
group for period Of about 10 min
utes, questioning others to find out
their identity. All answers must be
by pantomime or ''yes" or mo"
At the end of the period each per-
son will hand in lists with the names
and identity of as many guests as
he is able to discover. The longest
list wins.
Then how about some Shortage
Skits? Everyone is wondering now
adays what his neighbor is doing
about the gas shortage, Victory gar
dening, or ''meatless" meals. Here's
o game that will provide most Of the
answers for your curious guests:
Divide the groups into two casts.
Each will prepare a skit on what
they would do as a result of the ra-
tioning of some product. Everything
must be done in pantonime and the
opposite side guesses the rationed
article that is being presented. The
side which conceals the identity of
the product the longest wins.

which, in 31z months, 1913, 500 pounds
of vegetables and SO tons of green
fodder were grown. Prisoners not
only supply their own camps, but
provide a surplus, which is trans

Started primarily as a means Of
keeping prisoners occupied, the ex-
perimental cultivation scheme now
extends over 1880 acres, of which
1886 have been irrigated. Prisoners
and internees have constructed near

halls. Bush timber is cut by the
prisoners, transported to the camps,
