Note Book

With the selection of a five-man
board of directors for Coolidge
Sanitary District Friday night the
first definite. forward step was
taken toward elimination of one OF
the most unhealthy spots in Ari-
Zona.
All Coolidge is looking to the
membership of this new board for
early action and leadership that
no stone will be left unturned and
no act undone which would i'm
pede early completion of sewage
facilities in Coolidge.
The ground work for a sewer
system has been well done and
vigorous prosecution of the federal
application should result in actual
construction started by fall.

POETIC LICENSE What a
grand thing is this privilege called
poetic license" Too bad it's
not extended to newspapermen,
for then we could get away with
practically anything. But then
again there's a clear-cut division
between the ether clouds of poetry
and the bedrock land sometimes
muckl of journalism.
Now take this Russian poet. Vera
Inber. who is reputed to be the
most popular OF all Soviet poets.
Vera Inber has been duly impress
ed by American aid. and in ap-
probation a rather lengthy poem
flowed from the Russians pen.
The literal translation OF a verse
(to which no justice is done by our
languagel goes something like
this:
And even at Murmansk.
There is waiting for US
American produce:
Canned meat. sugar. butter.
Even fruit: Bananas
Cases in row after row.
And as tribute
To our endurance.
On each case Is written:
For Leningrad Only"
II probably sounds much better
in the original tongue. but what
about this business of shipping
bananas? Lend-Lease never pro-
vided for that. Vera Inber. how
ever. shrugs this off with pacific
ease. So what II the Americans
don't send bananas? II fits into
the metric structure OF the poem.
doesn't IL?
Well. that's poetic license,

Hoover Wants Farms
To Be Regarded as
Munitions Industry
Contrasts Shortages
Now With Problem
During World War
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22-Forner
President Hoover says we must en-
visage agriculture as munitions in
duStry if we are to support military
operations and aid in saving the
world from anarchy after the war"
Addressing the National Industrial
Conference Board with a message
broadcast last night, Mr.. Hoover
asserted the United States is export
ing less than half the meats and
fats to its allies in this war than it
did in the last World War, but has
a greater shortage of these commod-
tiles for civilians at home now than
then.
The larger problem which con-
fronts us Is that since the last war
American livestock has decreased in
proportion to the growth of human
population, he said.
Elements in Shortage.
Citing the shortage of farm labor,
methods of food price control and
the IS per cent reduction in the
manufacture of farm machinery as
blockades to increased agricultural
production, Mr. Hoover said:
AT the end of (the last war we
had 26 per cent more beef cattle for
each 100000 of human population
than we had % years later on jan
uary l, 1912. We had 26 per cent
more hogs in proportion to the pop
ulation. We had proportionately 5
per cent more milch cows than now.
But the modern COW gives more milk.
I'VE have in 1943 about the same
sheep proportionately as in the last
war. We have less chickens in pro-
portion to our population, but the
chickens work harder and produce
more eggs
He said there had been an undue
slaughter Of cows, ewes and sows"
which gave a temporary increase in
meats, but "is an illusion"
Build Flocks and Herds Now.
An imperative demand now, de-
clared Mr.. Hoover, who served as
relief director in the World War, is
to build up f1ocks and herds and the
production of vegetable oils.
Maintaining that the numbers of
animals slaughtered so far ARE not
disastrous" he added I'VE will not
starve, our allies will not starve.
But these demoralizing forces are
continuing. And If we keep travel
ing in this direction we will see
more hardships at home if we sup
ply the Allies and armies. And with
such a situation, it is nonsense to
talk about furnishing meat and fat
supplies to 300,00O,OOO additional

Enter Guilty Pleas
Prisoners Are Charged
With Sending Films of
Defense Data TO Enemy
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22-The ar
rest of two German-born men on
charges of conspiring with a con-
Victed Na2i espionage agent to for
ward to Germany microfilm blue
prints and plans of airplane parts
and assembly was announced yes
terday by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
The men were identified by the
FBI as Paul Herman Karl Grohs,
47, and Frank Heinrich Wilhelm
Grote, AZ, both of New York. They
pleaded guilty on arraignment be-
fore United States Commissioner
Martin c. Epstein and were held in
$4,000 bail each.
They were accused by the FBI of
conspiring with Carl Reuper, who
was arrested with others June %.
l941, and convicted for violation of
the espionage statutes. Reuper, the
FB1 said, was trained in Germany
to obtain data about war material
production and other matters relat-
ing to national defense in the United
States.
The FBI said that GrohS, a ma
chinist and toolmaker in a defense
plant until his arrest, used equip
ment in Grote's photography studio
to copy plans stolen by Reuper from
defense plants in the metropolitan
area Grote actively assisted Grohs
in copying the material and used his
knowledge Of photography to make
microfilm of the stolen plans, the
FBI said. The microfilm could be
enlarged to readable size when it
was received in Germany.
Grote was described as a machin-
ist in New York until 1890, when he
opened the photography studio.
Then he closed the studio in Octo-
Der, 1941, to become machinist for
a defense plant.
Grote came to the United States
in 1925 and is married to German
alien, the FBI said. The law en-
forcement agency said Grohs ar
rived in this country in 1928 and OBJ
tained citizenship papers in 1886.

Why Grow Old?
Question Box
By Josephine Lowman

~ Josephine L0Wman
l.. IT am 14a years old. am
5 feet tall and weigh 103 pounds.
I would like q daily exercise to
reduce my hips. My waist is rs
inches-and my hips 80 inches"
Answer-I wonder If you measure
your hips at the largest part. A 33-
inch hipline for rs waist line is
small. You should have 10 inches
difference between the waist and the
hips. However, at your age you may
not yet have stretched out to this.
I think you need this exercise: Lie
on your back with your arms over
your head on the floor and your legs
straight. Lift the trunk and touch
the flngertips to the toes. Lie down.
placing the arms on the floor behind
head again and lifting the legs up,
rolling over to touch the toes behind
your head. Continue rocking, lifting
trunk and lying down and rolling
over. If you cannot touch your toes
behind your head at least lift the
legs as far up as you can.
2. Il am 18 and about S feet 2
inches tall. Bust measures 80
inches-waist 20 inches and hips
81 inches. Do you think I should
gain weight and enlarge my hip
line?"
Answer-Yes. Read the answer
to the question above this one.
Also take this exercise: Lie on the
left side. Brace yourself by placing
the right hand on the floor. Now
swing the top or right leg forward
and backward. Reach as far In
each direction as you can. Swing
from the hips-not the knees, Do
this vigorously. Turn on the other
side and swing the left leg.
3. What makes my backbone
sink in mostly in the small of the
back? How can it be corrected?"
Answer imagine your trouble
Is a question Of posture plus fatty
deposits on the back hip muscles.
Try to remember to pull the hips
under and the stomach in when
you stand. Also sit with the hips
far back in the chair and the back
against the wall. In order to do
this the feet should be quite dis
tance away from the wall and the
knees slightly bent. Cup the small
part of the back against the wall.
Stay that way for , few moments
at time. Lift the legs and the
trunk up to . point at which the
weight Of the. body falls across the
fattest part Of the hips. While
holding the legs and the trunk this
way roll from side TO side, catch
Ing yourself with your hands
