Chrysanthemun,s

This is chrysanthemum time in the floral shops, in the gardens and in the parks. Now is the time we can enjoy the pompon type and the large fluffy ones in white, yellow, bronze, pink and orchid, as well as many shades in be- tween. The large fringy ones are a narvel and the small ones, and the aster type flat blooms are horticultural surprises.
 Many flower fanciers grow them in their own gardens. And city parks feature them more each season. We note that in New York City this autumn there are two million chrysanthemums in the various parks. The famous Rockefeller Plaza which features a continuous horti- cultural planting throughout the year is featuring a display that will extend from Fifth Avenue on descending line down to the Plaza.
 When the last flowers of summer have gone, and even the hardy marigolds are laid low, it is pleasant to see the chrysan- themunns. Yes chrysanthemums are much easier to look at than to spell.

Battleships Sabotaged

Credible rumorS come from several sources that the Nazi battleships Scharn- horst and Luetzow have been Sabotaged by their own crews in Norwegian fjord. The personnel, according to one man who claims to have been an eyewitness, is diSheartened and rebellious. From other sources come reports that the Nazi sailors fear being forced into suicide venture against the British fleet.
 Whether or not these stories are true, there seems little doubt that the Ger mans, both in the armed forces and at home, realize now that the war is lost. How long they can be held to a hopeless fight, there is no way of telling. Ger many probably will crack before she is climactically beaten in battle. We must plan as for 10-year war; but we have the right to hope that the breakup of NaziSm will come next year.

JOBS THE FIRST CoNsIDERA.
 TON
(Boston Post)

Governor Leverett saltonstall of Massachusetts remarked proudly that the Commonwealth has a cash surplus of $0,000. 900 plus Q large part of the 97,000O00 emergency war fund, which may not be used. Con- ,iecticut is likewise in 6 good finarl- cial position. In both cases this present surplus is regarded as 0 good backlog" for post war prob- lemS.
 It is interesting to note that both Governor Saltonstall of Massachu- sets and Governor Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticut view the postwar problems in the same way. Tn outlining the states post war objectives Governor Salton- stall said that jobs in private in- dustry for all who are able to work must be provided. He regards pulp lie works as a necessary but only temporary stop-gap.
 That is exactly the position of Governor Baldwin who says that the men and women now employed in war industry who want to con- tinue in gainful employment (some of the women will want to resume their normal occupation as house. wives) should have good jobs in private industry and not be de- pendent on @ government dole.
 And the boys who are coming back from the various fronts of this global war must be assured of good work. and the opportunity for advancement which is the keystone of Americas progress.
 Governor Saltonstall forSeeS @ prominent role in future aviation for Massachusetts. Governor Bald win is equally interested in aviation for Connecticut. These two Yankee governors think alike on the proia lem which is not surprising con- sidering the background of the two men and the states they repre- sent.

Selected Poem
ARoOSToOK (Robert P. Tristram Coffin, in the New YorK Herald-Tr!bune)

Herald-Tr!pune) Land of the potato blossoms lace And honey bees brimming all space, Where boys are running everywhere, And all like sunlight on their hair. Country where the children seem All boys, and blond ones, and each stream Shines with them and comes alive As naked boys leap up and dive Land where green potatoes meet The sky at east and west, and sweet Red clover blossoms and their bees Take the place of murmurtng seas. Wide horses come down every hill, Behind their Hanks the blue clouds spill Out in parallel small showers Over the potato flowers. Land of barns half under earth, Barns all bursting at their girth With big barrels full of life, Land where the wind is like knife. Country of the highest thunder And houses turning white in under, Golden hilltops ten miles long Against blue mountains older than song. Land of snowdriftS six-foot high And dead men dancing on the sky Hand in hand in August nights, Diamond land of northern lights. Land of men built big and sunny, Land of spruces mustard, honey, Aroostookl pith and starch of Maine, Hotter and brighter than all Spain!

A SHIP FOR OWEN MISTER

 So many ships are being launched now that their names perhaps do not mean as much as they would in other times, and yet 1t is plea sant news that one of the Liberty ships being built at Jacksonville, Fla, will be named for Owen Wist- CT, the Philadelphian of the old school, the crony of Theodore Roosevelt, who died in 1888 after a vigorous and productive life. As one of the luminaries of what has been fondly called The Golden Age of the Republic" Mir.

 UNDER THE DOME
 Gov. Arnall of Georgia com. plained to the President the other day about the rnudled food situation in the Peace State. The President always has referred to Georgia's OPA, where Republic. aans held high jobs, as an illus tration of how the joke was on him in making OPA appointments. He told Arnall that things were being strengthened out .. Boss Ed Flynn of the Bronx Is about the only leading Democrat who says privately that Lieut.. Gen. Haskell, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of New York, can be elected. Most Dems have considered that Tom Dewey's cam didate was sure to win Lou Holland, former head of the Small War Plants Corporation, is one man who did not blow off venom after exiting rom Washington. He has been nainding his own business in Kansas City .. State Depart. ment officials admit that what Senator Mead heard from North African French sources might be true, namely that the Germans are a rational people, and when they see they are licked, they do may crack soon. The Germans not, like the British, fight to the bitter end.

ARE YOU GETTING YoUR
 OXYGEN?

frown upon and deplcrs the way youngsters these days do NOT absorb enough oxygen.
 Exercise increases the absorption and utilization of oxygen.
 Yelling and screaming in the bleachers or grandstand is not ex- ercise. Far too many youngsters to- day are mere spectators or fans or members of the cheering section and far too few players in the game.
 It seems to me that kids today have forgotten most of the games which involve great deal of run- ming and similar activities.
 The young ones ride to school nowadays. Before { h c internal combustion engine the oyung ones absorbed a good deal of oxygen walking to and from school Q mile or two of 1t two or three times Q day.
 For the student or the white col- lar worker or the office or business man or woman professional base- ball as Q sport Is wretched kind of amusement, diversion or pastime. So is football. There isn't room here to elucidate the physiological and pathological reasons why these sources of vicarious thrills, hysteri- cal emotion, make believe heroics harmful to sedentary folk. If you wish to learn more about 1t, look lip in the public library Cannon'S Bodily Changes In Pain, Hunger, l Fear and Rage Appleton, 16), es- pecially the last chapter on Alter. native Satisfactions for the Fight. ing Emotions.
 For these poorly educated, poor ly trained young people Q few drags on Q cigarette give an alter native satisfaction or rather tenn porary inhibition or restraint of the natural impulse to DO SOME ,TTIING-fight, run away, work, play, exercise-to use the energy liberated by the emotion, whatever 1t may be. When this alternative iS adopted as 6 habit, the body ma chinery inevitably suffers, The in- dividual, no matter how limited in intelligence, cannot help realizing sooner or later that he or she is in- ferior-and consciousness of that fact very often leads the poor fool to seek Expenditures in alcohol.
