GOING THROUGH an old book |

poem. which was clipped from the
Milford Chronicle over 50 years

There Is Always Something
There is always a something. what

And. oh, how that something an
nOys,
Though the mcrest of specks ii be-
comes big blot.
A pang at the heart of your joys.
What matters the manifold bless
ings you've got.
If there's one little cloud in the
blue?
There's always "A something what
ever your lot.
And if it's not one thing its
two,
If it wasn't for something left in or
left out
Our happiness would be COM
plete;
'Tis the lack of one room that we
worry about.
Or the dwelling is in the wrong
street
If we only were thin. if we only
were stout.
If we had something different 10
do.
There is always a something left in
or left out.
And if it's not one thing-it's
There is always a something as
certain as fate.

IT'S COMMONPLACE that the
prettiest girl is not necessarily the
most popular The usual cXplana-
ton is that a hOmely girl cultivates
her personality, has wider inter-
ests and is more likely to be
good sport AT the risk of ridicule.
venture another opinion. Mans
modesty tells him that a truly
beautiful girl is beyond his reach.
Being conservative by nature most
men recognize their limitations and
invest their time and money in
girls who might appreciate such at
tention. Appreciation is an i'm
portant element in romance. Many
a homely girl is happily married
because her lone suitor was over
whelmed with gratitude.

the best Victory gardens which en-
braces every section of the city and
the surrounding counties. Variety
is one Of the standards on which
gardens will be judged but in the
instructions for judging made public
yesterday it is outlined as Does the
assortment being grown provide the
family with fresh vegetables over a
long period? Have crops of high
food value been planted? Are salads,
greens and boiling vegetables we'll
balanced?"
Every garden in the city and the
surrounding counties is eligible for
one of the more than 100 prizes in
war bonds and stamps except COM
mercial truck gardens and those pre-
pared by hired gardeners. You may
enter by writing the Victory Garden
Committee at 458 Indiana avenue

Victory Garden Herbs Flourish
Amid Everyday Vegetables
Plots on Glover Estate Titled by Generals
Naval Officers Wives and Others

Marjoram, thyme and rosemary
for remembrance and roast lamb,
bloom in the Victory gardens at the
Glover estate bordering on Cathe-
dral avenue beyond the Westchester
apartments.
Army generals from the Pentagon
building and wives of commanders
of major units of the fleets have been
faithfully tilling the soil there.
Potatoes and corn grow there in
profusion. let it be added, lest it be
thought these gardeners are going
in for herbaceous dilletantism in
time Of war The bountifulness in
the herb gardens occupy only few
feet of space.
The gardens were luxurious ex-
ample of vegetable growth when
visited yesterday and had quite re-
covered from the evening raid of
mule which so disturbed the gar
deners earlier in the spring.
Expensive in Flowing.
The unwelcome visitor was the
animal which shared the honor of
breaking the first soil for Victory
gardens in the District of Colum-
bia in 1943. Flowing the tough
greensward with team Of veteran
mules proved expensive, incidentally.
Flowing costs for 50-by- -30-foot plots
soon ran over IS, whereas tractors
at $40 day were able to prepare
them for ST a plot in some parts OF
the city
Shortly after the blowing was
finished. one of the mules, which
were temporarily quartered in the
next field, died and the Nations
agricultural force lost half horse
power.
The other mule became restless
and one day the message borne on
the evening breeze, freighted with
scents Of green things sprouting, was
unmistakable-it was Come into
the garden, Maude'
The mule got through hedge, came
over the hill and gardeners looking
up from their loving cultivation of
tender sprouts were startled by its
strange silhouette on the horizon.
Four-footed Destruction.
The men sought to catch it and
the frightened mule stampeded and
stomped about the garden, bringing
destruction to lettuce here, sprouts of
broccoli there and hilled potatoes
elsewhere. To the Glover estate
Victory gardeners it was a major
disaster.
The generals who have been gar
dening at the Glover place are Maj.
Gen. Harold L. George of the Army
Air Forces and Brig. Gen. C. l..

Alaskan highway. Both live in the

10-Poinf Laval Deal
With Hitler Said 10
Pledge More Workers
1890 Square Miles
Of Territory Reported
Given Up Permanently
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Adolf Hitler
has made a 1o-point political deal
with French Chief of Government
Pierre Laval which permanently de-
pyives France of 1890 square miles
of territory comprising two depart
ments along the Belgian border, in
wolves sending 100000 more skilled
French workers to Germany and
promises to strengthen Laval's posi-
ton among the collaborationist
French leaders, a Fighting French
spokesman said yesterday.
At the same time, the long
awaited agreement which turned
down Hitler's reported plan to con-
script Frenchmen to fight the United
Nations and put Laval in control
OF the French police in the former
occupied zone, with fuller admin
istratlve powers generally, contained
fewer concessions to the Germans
than some observers had expected.
Area Already Forbidden Zone.
The departments which will not
be restored to the French state are
those of Nord and Pas Calais,
extending from the North Sea
southwark for about 100 miles along
the Belgian border. They are part
of the recently created forbidden
zone" in which the Germans are
building Notifications, and most
Frenchmen already have been re-
moved from them.
Hitler strengthened Lavals hand
against his collaboration rival.
Jacques Doriot. leader of the French
Fascistic Popular party, to the de-
gree that he assured the former that
his government was the last with
which Berlin will negotiate.
AS part Of the agreement Laval
promised to turn over to Germany
five French destroyers and two
large tugs, presumably the rem
nants of the French fleet scuttled
at Toulon.
Question Of Capital Postponed.
A settlement was postponed on
the question of making Paris the
seat of Lavals government, thus
leaving open a matter which has
vexed Vichy-German relations.
Hitler, under the agreement. will
become arbiter Of further negotia-
tons between France and Italy, pre-
sumably concerning the island of
Corsica and other French territory
under Italian occupation.
The agreement gives Germany
full control of French industry,
finance and agriculture. thus for
mailing what is already virtually
the fact in these fields.
