Van Fleet and Mary Wallace are
two rather strong growing climbers
that seem to be immune to most Of
the common troubles of roses (black-
spot and mildew) and thus make ex-
cellent material for screens. The
summer towering climbers, such as
Mermaid, are apt to have their flow

and August by the beetles.
Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia
durior, a rapid growing, twining
vine, is considered very desirable
by many. 1t is tolerant of shade and
poor soil--an important considera-
ton.
Annual Vines
Also Effective.
Besides the vines mentioned above,
which are all woody perennials and
should last for many years, there
are the ANIMALS. The rapid growing
vines to be produced from seed
planted in the spring are of especial
interest to those gardeners who are
not permanently located. Many of
them are Towering and thus offer
color as we'll as foliage. Annual
vines like the perennial or woody
vines offer nearly as much resist
ance to the wind and thus should
be well supported.
Probably the best known of the
annual vines is the morning glory,
but the scarlet runner bean, gourds,
hyacinth bean and the wild Gu
cumber vine no relation to the gar
den variety are also widely plant
ed. There are many others which
the experimentally inclined may
find of interest. However, those
mentioned should serve the purpose
in most cases without too much
trouble. The scarlet runner bean
will probably be attacked by the
Mexican bean beetle, but protection
Is justified, since the beans are
edible and worth growing as veg
etable. And. speaking OF beans,
why not grow the Kentucky Won
der bean? They bear over a long
season and certainly grow high
enough II given suitable cultural
care.
With the exception OF the hya-
cinth bean and the wild cucumber
vine, all Of the vines mentioned
above do best If grown in more or
less sunny situations. For shady
situations the Japanese hop vine,
Akebia, silverlace vine, the COM
mon hop or the turquoise berry are
worthy of consideration. Halls hon.
eysuckle is good for either sun or
shade, but it oftentimes becomes a
weed If allowed to grow uncon-
trolled.
With this wealth of materials
available, there is no reason why the
average backyard should not have
some degree of privacy. And. of
course, vines may be used to hide
unSightly views.

neither slightly nor productive.
The native Virginia creeper is
often used as vine, especially to

desirable than this hardy native.

Correctly feeding a Victory gar
den is very essential step to assure
success. Too frequently the ground
may not have been adequately pre-
pared before planting or, if so, may
be so porous that any fertilizer
would quickly leach away.
At this late date it would not be

tions, would dry out and probably
die.
Plants, whether they be vegetables,
flowers or shrubs, require IL differ

Plant food in solid form requires

Vines Are Recommended for Screening

VI all Of the many uses to which
we put vines, their use for screening
rs given the least attention. We use
tiem 10 cover bare walls, to provide
neWers, as ground covers to hide
barren slopes where it is difficult to
srow grass and to cover trellises
tnat We may have shade, but too
mIrequently do we use them to
shield our gardens from passers-by.
"A lew annual vines planted at the
cage OF the property and provided
with support will screen the garden
as effectively as brick wall for the
summer. Perennial vines will per-
form this service year after year,
ANIMALS for only part of season.
Vines have one advantage that brick
walls do not-they admit the air and
thus permit air circulation.
;, Vines should be more widely en-
ployed for screening the backyard
from neighboring eyes in this city OF
row houses. Shrubs take too much
space and thus are out of the ques-
tion in the small backyard. Vines
need hardly more space than
fence.
Probably the reason that more
vines are not used for this purpose
Is the belief that it takes an elab-
crate and costly support to hold
them. The framework for vines to
Climb upon may be as simple or as
expensive as the owner may desire.
However, one of the best permanent
supports is relatively inexpensive
and will hold fairly large vines.
A simple, inexpensive trellis for
vines Is made from q Inch iron pipe
and ordinary chicken wire fence.
The pipe and wire are not readily
available today, and so wooden posts
are recommended for the duration.
But the iron pipe set in concrete
and covered with wire is compara-
lively inexpensive-very much SO If
secondhand pipe is uSed-and will
last a long time with no upkeep-
not even paint. Wooden surfaces
must be protected from rot with
paint or creosote, and termites
should be excluded from wooden
posts.
Cypress Stakes 0sl
Stats May Be Used.
An excellent low trellis may be
made from heavy cypress stakes and
smooth wire (use Stats in place of
wire for the duration). This type
of trellis is excellent for climbing
roses or other vines that need to be
tied in place il not over or feet
high. For taller screens strong
posts are needed, for a well-covered
trellis offers considerable resistance
to wind and storm.
Many gardeners look upon grapes
as an ideal vine for shade. They
are also excellent as screen, al

easy to grow. Then, too, they do
not always provide thick enough
foliage for this purpose.
Wisteria should make an ideal
screen, but it tends to make most
of its growth at the top and hence
is usually barelegged. Hard pruning
helps to stimulate growth all along
the trunk, but this involves more
or less constant attention if it is to
stay within bounds and provide a
screen. In most cases the gardener
will find that wisteria is u strong
grower and requires substantial
support. 1t is best used Tor shade

ST. John AFL Unions Best CIO
In Forming Two New Locals

st. John, N. B. (ILNS) CIO
has come out second to the AFL in eff
forts to organize two new locals here
The success of the AFL is attributed
to the activity of the ST. John District
Trades and Labor Council and New
Brunswick Federation of Labor, both
composed of AFL unions.
Federal Union No. "a has been or
ganized among employees of the Ca
madam National Harbors Board, on
the st. John harborfront, with ma
jority of the employees in the charter
membership. Previous efforts to or
ganize these employees in an all Cana
dian. labor group failed, although only
Canadian citizens are eligible for
work sponsored by the board, a sub
sidiary of the Canadian government.
The harbors board controls and oper-
ates all the steamship docks and ware
houses at the port of St. John, and
also the grain elevator, harbor dredg-
ing, etc.
The second union group to be or
ganized for the AFL in competition
with the CIO, is No. %, of the Inter
national Association of Heat and
Frost Insulators and Asbestos Work
ers. This is the first time a local of
these types of workers has been
formed in this area. In both cases, the
locals have received their charters.

that he be elected President. They
don't even wait long enough to ask the
General if he wants to be President,
but they apparently assume that be-
cause he was in command when the
battle resulted victoriously for our
side he is good enough to be COM
mander- -in-chief.
While it is realized that this is a
form of hero worship not confined to
any segment of our heterogeneous pop
ulation, we sometimes wonder if it
is not also dovetailed with desire
to get "that man" out of the White
House. Those who hate him-and with
good reason, from their point of view
are willing to grab anyone with a
halo, even though temporary, and
draft him as candidate.

PRICE OF THE POLL TAX
lFrom the Chicago Sum


Senator Danaher Of Connecticut has
stripped away the mantle of consti-
tutionality in which the poll takers
love to wrap themselves. He stole the
show at the final Senate committee
hearing on the anti-poll-tax bill by
calmly suggesting that it might be a
good idea, since the Constitution has
been so rapturously invoked, to en-
force the 14th amendment.
The constitutionality Of the anti
poll-tax bill has been upheld by many
high authorities. To make it an issue
is a stalling maneuver and nothing
more While the poll takers stall,
however, the 14th Amendment can be
re-read with profit. 1t provides that
when any state abridges the right to
vote (as eight Southern states do, by
means of the poll tax its congress
sional representation shall be reduced
accordingly. Strict enforcement of
this amendment demands that Con-
gress cut down the number of repre-
sentatives elected by each poll-tax
state
In the 1912 election, Tennessee sent
10 representatives to Congress and
Arkansas by vote of only percent
of their populations In Texas 4 per-
cent of the people elected 21 congress
men. Virginia elected nine by vote
of percent. Alabama, Georgia, and
Mississippi together elected 26 con
gressmen, but only percent Of their
populations voted. In South Carolina,
percent of the people elected rep
resentatiyes.
To this minority rule which makes
mock of democracy the poll-tax poll
ticians desperately cling. If they
block the anti-poll tax bill at this
session, why should they not pay the
constitutional price-a reduction of
their influence in the federal govern
ment?

MANAGEMENT LACKED
ABILITY

A Senate committee started to in
vestigate the Brewster Aeronautical
Corporation of New Jersey. Chief
grippe here was that the workers
wouldn't produce and something
should be done about it.
The committee has found that the
workers did not produce because they
could not produce. Management's only
ambition-in fact, its only ability
seems to have been to get government
contracts, with little concenption
about how they could be fulfilled.
The Senate committees latest dis
covery is that Brewster was a party
to $65, 700 pool which was to be used
to secure war jobs. Plenty of money
for such purposes as this, but none for
workers.
Just another case of a management
trying to purchase business without
having the ability to produce Sales
