O'CONOR ACTS TO SECURE 1000
WORKERS NEEDED

In giving approval last week to
four-state agreement regarding the
recruitment of migrant labor in
Maryland, West Virginia and North
Carlina, Gov. O'Conor expressed as
|surance that the 1900 canning and
Agricultural workers so vitaly needed
now on the Eastern shore would be
found promptly.
Gov. O'Conor voiced the hope that
Governors Doarden, of Va, Medley,
of w. Va, and Broughton, of N. c.,
also would promptly give their appro-
val to the agreement, which was
drawn up at conference in Wash
ington arranged by Gov O'Conor with
representative of the Governors of
the other states. The agreement
which will govern recruitment of la
Dor in this four-state area, was hail
ed by Gov. O'Conor as a precedent
in cooperative handling of a mutual
problem. n
He expressed the belief that the
success of this agreement would pave
the way for other agreements of
similar nature among other states of
the Country.

Young Boy Should Eat
Vegetables for Vitality

In planning meals for an Adde'S
cent boy try out all those foods that
he never would eat earlier In life.
Spinach and collards, for instance;
or the various salad greens which
he, like many other boys, called
rabbit food; or the cooked &C.
reals he thought beneath the dignity
of one Of his years. He needs them
all, or he will fill up on the less nu-
tritious foods.
Most boys, especially If they are
athletically inclined, want to grow
up and gain weight as rapidly as
possible. This isn't always so easily
accomplished, especially If he insists
upon participating in athletic activi-
ties and fails to give due attention
to this business of proper diet. Meat
and potatoes are good, but they do
not contain enough vitamins and
minerals. He would have to drink
milk to keep those rapidly growing
bones well supplied with calcium
and phosphorus. Milk also provides
ribofavin, one Of the B vitamins,
which is necessary for proper growth
and eyes. A quart Of milk daily
should be the rule.
However, important as milk Is, 1t
cannot furnish the iron which is es-
sential for the formation Of blood
cells in his growing body. Meat,
especially liver, contains iron but
probably not enough to do the trick
alone. Spinach or other green vege-
tables would help; eggs would also
contribute iron; old-fashioned mo-
lasses on baked beans would do
equally well. Green vegetables and
eggs supply vitamin A, another vi
tamin that helps in normal growth
and in normal eye functioning. This
important vitamin A might help his
skin If he is troubled with ''ado-
descent acne"

HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO SEIZE
RATION BOOKS

Police have no authority to "seize"
a motorists gasoline ration book un-
der the recent amendment to the
rationing rules, according to a state
ment made by the Keystone Automo-
bile Club, based on Interpretation of
the order by OPA upon request of
Club counsel.
In making public the interpreta-
ton, r. J. Quinn, Acting Manager of
the Club, said that while Keystone
officials feel the situation has been
made unnecessarily complex by the
lack of Qualification of the new Or
err, the Club still is of the opinion
that serious mistake has been made
by OPA in giving police and con-
stables authority, however limited,
which is subject to misunderstand-
ing and abuse.

CHIsELING GASOLINE
PARASITES

Keystone Automobile Club believes
IAN aroused public opinion will
back up any firm and drastic meas
ures necessary to the determination
of chiseling gasoline parasites"
r. j. Quinn, Acting Manager of
the Club, stated the Clubs view in
making public denunciation of gas
chiselers and black market operators
by j. Maxwell Smith, Keystone,s
President.
ION the threshold of a brighter
era for Eastern motorists the
statement said, Keystone Automo-
bile Club takes this occasion to warn
against cheating. Chiseler and
cheaters can wreck the new program,
If through undetermined and devious
devices they contrive to get more gas
oline than they are entitled to- The
fact cannot be overlooked that the
supply for civilian use must have a
limit, and IL the distribution through
rationed channels is to be fair and
equitable everybody must play the
game honestly.
There is danger that the vast
majoriy of law-abiding motorists
once again will be denied the relief
they expect unless a widespread, de-
termined effort is made to stop the
chiseling minority from illegally
plundering vital supplies essential to
the rightful transportation needs of
all.
while OPA has blocked one black
market source by cancellation of the
T coupons for commercial vehicles
and substituting the new TT cou-
pom, there is grave need for fur

scrupulous motorists from throwing

campaign against the chiseler if we
want to assure ourselves of fair and
reasonable use of our automobiles in
the present emergency"

Cawky Youth Learning to
Keep Pace With Growth

Babies get sympathy when they
stumble in learning to walk, but
teen-age adolescents whose co-ordi-
nation is nearly as bad as that OF
an infant are rebuked or ridiculed
when their muscles betray them.
Elizabeth Carmichael, specialist In
child management, says scolding or
laughing at awkward youngsters Is
worse than useless because they in
crease the bewilderment Of the boy
or girl.
Awkwardness Is a natural Sc
quence Of the sudden lengthening Of
arms, legs, and feet together with
a lack of practice In directing the
movements of the diversified MEM
bers of the body. Miss Carmichael
says few men or women would APP
pear very graceful II their feet
heightened several inches In a Pc
riod of a few months.
Adolescents who wind their legs
around chairs, who sprawl In un-
calmly attitudes in unseemly places,
or who spill things while eating are
not being Intentionally malicious or
thoughtless. They will regain con-
troll of their muscles in a short time
If other members of the family do
not make them too self conscious
by remarks about ''lazy hunks" and
awkward Andies."
Most teen-agers will learn to laugh
at themselves II their parents laugh
with them instead Of at them. Once
the adolescent understands that the
traitorous muscles are a prelude to
strength and gracefulness, recovery
will be rapid. Outdoor exercise,
plenty Of sleep, and activities which
make the youngsters forget their
troubles will assist them to obtain
coordination.

Good Churning Cream Has
From Is to 35Tn Butterfat

A satisfactory cream for churn-
ing contains from Is to 35 per cent
butterfat. Most homemade butter
is made from rather small supply
of such cream saved over a period
of few days. It should be kept
in a cool place until the desired
amount has been obtained.
The churning of sour cream Is
easier than the churning of sweet
cream. You can sour, or ripen
cream by keeping 1t at a tempera-
ture of about 20 degrees the day
before churning. In the case Of
pasteurized cream, the souring can
be expedited by adding one or
two tablespoonful of cultured but
termilk per quart. In winter,
common practice Is to warm the
cream by setting 1t near a stove or
radiator. During the night it should
be cooled down and held at the
churning temperature Of 48 to So de-
grees Fahrenheit. The right tenn
perature is of the utmost impor-
lance. Use the lower temperature
in the summer and the higher one in
the winter. Perry urges home but
ter-makers to scald the churn and
rinse with cold water before the
cream is put in. Then fill churn half
full Of cream and turn with steady
motion, remembering to remove the
cork or top every four or five min
utes to allow the escape Of gas.
When conditions are right, the but
ter should "come" in 20 to 80 min
utes. Stop churning when the but
ter particles are the size of wheat
grains.
When the buttermilk Is drawn off
through strainer, wash the but
ter by adding about twice as much
cold water as there Is buttermilk,
and rotate the churn a few times.
Remove the butter, salt, and work
out the water, adding about one
ounce Of salt to a pound of butter.

Party Line Cooperation
Essential In War Time

When two unidentified planes were
recently sighted by an aircraft spot
ter, he rushed to the telephone to
warn Army authorities.
But q conversation was under way
on the party line and the takers re-
fused to release the line. Fortunate
". the planes proved to be friendly.
If they had been hostile, they prob
ably could have reached their objec-
tive and done untold damage while
the spotter waited to use the telephone
Officials of The Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Companies point out
that this incident emphasizes the
urgent necessity for civilians to CO.
operate in keeping the lines clear for
war calls, particularly on party lines.
Here are few suggestions that will
help party-line users keep lines clear
for vital calls, and assure the best. SER
vice for all on the line:
Be considerable of others on the
line.
Be brief. If you must make
several calls, allow an intermis-
sion between them so others on
your line can make and receive
calls.
Listen a second to make sure
the line is not in use before you
call.
Always answer your telephone
promptly, and be sure to replace
the receiver on the hook after
completing call.
If you are on the line with an
aircraft spotter post, please give
up the line quickly when re-
quested. The safety Of your COM
munity depends on rapid handling
Of calls from these spotter loca-
tions.

Africa Got Its Name From
Country Around Carthage

The hill country around Tunis Is
the region that gave all Africa It's
name. For centuries this district
alone was known as Africa. The
whole continent was called Libya.
The name Africa got its start In
the backyard of Carthage, the strong
city-state that rose AZ centuries ago
less than ten miles north Of where
Tunis now stands. Carthaginians
called the countryside beyond their
city walls after the native Berber
inhabitants, the Awriga tribesmen
pronounced "Avriga").
The Romans fought their way
through Awriga to conquer Carthage
two centuries before the Christian
era, battling over the same terrain
just won by American, British and
French forces. Ennius, a poet friend
Of the conquering Roman general,
set an example for modern news cor
respondents by writing an epic about
the campaign. He made the native
name of the Awriga region as ia
niliar as Tunisia is today. Later
the Romans, in 146 B. c., incorpo-
rated Carthage and Its Awriga him
terland into province which they
named Awriga, or Africa.
Further Roman conquests on the
continent Of ''Libya" annexed more
land to Africa Province-southern
Tunisia, Algeria, Cirenaica. Finally
the Romans blanketed the name Of
Carthage's geographic backyard
over all the known lands Of the con-
tinent, and the old title Of Libya
was dropped.

Develop Strong Glass

A new type Of tough, bullet-resist-
ing plate glass which has lately been
adapted for use in warplanes Is be-
ing utilized to afford additional pro-
lection for pilots and other crew
members Of Americas bombing
planes.
Although this glass is somewhat
heavier than many Of the transpar-
ent plastics used In the noses Of
fighting planes, the weight differ
entail is justified by the fact that
the plate not only resists bullets but
also protects the pilot from the dam
ger Of having his windshield
smashed through hitting birds In
fiight-a serious hazard In the past.

Garden Care

Rose bushes, fruit trees and dis
eased shrubs should be sprayed
with lime-sulphur. Trees, shrubs
and lawn should be fortified with
manure and perhaps some phos-
phate. Pruning should be done 80
as to preserve the natural shape Of
the plant to be pruned. Flowering
plants that bloom before July should
not be pruned. Trees and shrubs
should not be allowed to rock around
in the wind and wear a hole in the
soil around their base. Anchor them
with string and stake and keep the
soil packed around the roots.

Train Tomato Plants

One Of the best ways to manage
tomato plants when planting space
Is limited is to prune them to q
single stem and train them upright
In the way they should 60. Many
gardeners with ample space prefer
this method.
Tomato plants grown In this way
give a larger yield Of early fruit
and, II properly spaced, about the
same yield for given amount Of
ground although there win be less
fruit per plant. The method insures
clean fruits of possibly little better
shape and color although 1t may In
crease the danger of sunscald and
blossom end rot.
