VAR IN \

- uR first year of about war has brought
some drastic changes in gardening.
- Americans are gardening as never be-
-. pertly because rationed travel means
mre time to dig in the backyard. partly
hecn,ee we know we have a serious food
mnhncinr task on our hands. The war is
;.,kinr Us back to the soil. It is likewise revo-
hficnizing our gardening habits. Here is what
! happening:
vs.ueables ". Flowers: In wartime there
i a. inevitable swing to vegetables. Since
1919, nearly all home gardeners have ordered
DIR flower seeds first, then appended the
yeeet,he seed selections somewhat as an
afterthought. Last year, the reverse was true.
The quantity OF vegetable seed ordered by
home gardeners nearly doubled.
Heretofore, orders for flower seed have
tsnercd Of in war years. But in this war.
orders for flower seed are up slightly too.
This puzzled me until saw hundreds OF war
a,rdens last summer in back yards that were
untitled the year before. In most OF them
flowers were growing usually IN borders
around the vegetable plot
Our sons are at war, so we grow flowers
aong with our vegetables to cheer us up,
one mother told me. Tens of thousands OF
fnnilies are doing that.
Iashiens IN Flowers: In the flower depart
ment, the swing is back to the old-fashioned'
hight-colored standbys, such as zinnias,
marigolds petunias, particularly IN the dwarf
vHieties that take little space and yield
many blossoms. There is boom In the
flowers that blossom in patriotic colors, not
ably sweet peas, larkspur, asters.
Already the war has brought about more
natural habits in gardening. For the past two
decades many Americans gardened for show,
with emphasis on exotic plants, rock gardens,
nd other frils. Now most of this "parlor'
sMdening has disappeared - along with the
hired gardener. We are doing our own digging,

EVERYONE. HAS A MISSION
IN THE SOUTH
BY A. w. HIGH

In the south today, there are
somewhere in the neighborhood of
100000 members of the white and
colored races who are working
daily cooperating together, trying
to lift the entire standard of all the
people of the state.
Individually each man and woman
has a mission to perform. 1t is up
to us to see that our mission is car
ried out for the best interest of the
South. 1t will rain and shine for
ever in the hearts of men and wo-

Let it be a mule or horse when

Let it be the trees, they have their
mission in our daily life. When they
fail to furnish man the necessary
building materials and heat for the
comforts of home-life their mission
will have been defeated.
Let it be the man or woman who
is employed in industrial or do

You Can't Force Freedom
By RUTH TAYLOR

Freedom can never beforced. The
slave may be manumitted from his
bondage, the shackles struck from
his prayer clasped hands-but still
he may not achieve freedom.
Freedom is the state in which the
free man dwells. True freedom is
the opportunity to progress-to en-
large ones life through the fair ex-
ercise of ones own ability and ener-
gy.
The savage in the wild places of
the earth is free" in the purely
physical sense-but he has no free
dom. He is bound by superstitution.
by Ignorance, by shibboleths of
tribal tradition. He lives in slav-
cry of fear of the unknown and
hatred of the unfamiliar.
Only the learning man achieves
freedom for he alone can keep pace
with it. Freedom does not stand
still. 1t must grow and expand to
live. And only that man or people
who grow with it can enjoy free
doom. Those who have only physi-
cal freedom may have the name,
but they lack the spirit of free
dom.
This country abolished forever
and condemned Fundamentally all
involuntary slavery. We, as a ma
ton hold that all men are created
equal. We make cult of freedom
but we, as a nation or as indivi-
duals. are not hyprocrites enough
to claim that all our citizens take

IN WAR TIME
Fowl Black Market

In an intensive drive to stamp
out black markets in poultry, ZIG
court actions have been started
against violators of poultry price
ceilings. OPA warned other deal
ers to stop over-the-ceiling sales or
face suspension of their licenses.
AS part of the campaign to stop
illegal sales, prices are reduced
from ! to 10 cents per pound on ex-
pensive birds and raised or 2
cents per pound for cheaper poul-
try Revised prices are expected to
effect substantial savings to con-
sumers.
Country Girls Good Nurses
Directors of schools of nursing
rank country girls higher than their
city cousins. They adapt them
selves quickly to life in the school,
they have learned to use. their

courage or permit pupils in junior
high school, grades 7-9) to elect
courses during the summer that had
not been previously pursued, unless
such courses were necessary to re-
move serious classification irregu-
larities. Pupils who had failed sub
jects at the junior high school lev
ell, however, should be considered
eligible to pursue the failed course
during the summer session.
At the senior high school level
all pupils who failed subjects
should be considered eligible to re-
pat tn faild subjects during tn sum-
mer session. All pupils in senior
high school should be permitted to
carry new subjects during the sum-
mer session. The amount of work
to be pursued should be approved
by the director of the summer SEES
sion. In no case, however, should
regular school pupils be permitted
to complete more than two full
units during a summer session. In
service teachers who have not fin
ished high school should also be
permitted to enroll for summer
work for the purpose of meeting
graduation requirements. Teacher
pupils should be allowed to COM
plete as many os three units per
summer session.
The Summer Offering
1t is proposed that practically ev-
cry subject should be taught for
which there is a sufficient number
of pupils who desire to pursue
subject. The minimum enrolment
for any summer class should be
around eight Glasses with fewer
than eight pupils would be too ex-
pensive to operate.
The primary purpose of the pro-
posed summer school program is
to accelerate superior pupils, par
ticularly in areas of study essential
to industrial and war activities.
Therefore an effective program of
counseling must be conducted
whichwillattr actsuperiorpupils
which will attract superior pupils
to mathematics, science, and indus
trial courses.
Subjects which should be offer
ed and in which pupils should be
encouraged to enroll are: Algebra
I, Algebra II, Plane Geometry, Sol
id Geometry, Physics, Chemistry,
Industrial Arts, Home Arts, and
tipping. An important reason for
offering Industrial Arts, Home Arts,
and tipping in the summer pro-
gram is to relieve the congestion
in those departments during the
regular school year.
Financing The Summer
Program
Since the proposed program pro-
vides for two terms of 5 weeks
each for both review and new sub
jects tuition fee of $500 per unit
should be charged.
