Good Thoughts Victory Garden
Horvests Gratifying Crops
Mothers Must Have Full Cooperation
Of Family to Make 1t Thrive
By MRS. p. c. ELLE1
President D. c. Congress of Parents and Teachers

Victory gardens are in the spot
light at the present time with, of
course, emphasis being placed on
the utilization of every available
plot of vacant ground in the city.
More than likely it will be equally
surprising to discover later in the
season how many tomatoes will grow
on one Well-kept vine. or how many
beans can be harvested from one
properly tended stalk. Conversely
how disappointing the harvest, if the
plants are neglected. Because. in
addition to natures assistance,
there will have to be 100 per cent CO.
operation from the gardener. for
weeds have a very unpleasant way
of appearing to grow faster than
legitimate plants.
New Kind of Garden.
While we are SO busily discuss
ing these victory gardens. there is
another kind of victory garden
which needs no special season. 1t
is the victory garden of our
thoughts, If We plant in that gar
den the seeds of right thinking We
shall harvest a crop Of satisfying
results. If we have faith and con-
fidence in our leaders. believing
that they are striving wholeheart-
edlv to steer our country on the
safest possible course, such faith
and confidence will be reflected in
our cooperation when we are called
upon to make changes in our daily
patterns For instance, rationing
is something completely new to us;
we've always been limited only by
our ability to pay. Now, the mere
possession of dollars is no guaranty
at all of surpluses Of commodities
of any kind. The only guaranty We
have Of there being enough to go
around is in our cooperation, our
being content to use what is right
But. I believe the whole burden
of making the adjustments in the
family should not rest upon the
shoulders of the mothers in the
homes. Somehow, we women have
been bombarded from IL sides
newspapers. radio, magazines, pub
lie speeches-by suggestions which
lead us to think we alone are to
undertake this task of cutting the
new pattern of living for our fam
lilies Undoubtedly the lions share
of this job will oe rightfully ours
but We can't make it work alone.
All Family Must Help.
The men in the family. the chill
dren old enough to be personally
responsible. will have to help. When
dad comes home to synthetic meat
loaf instead of roast, or steak, or
chops, Dad will have to be a good
sport and eat it with relish! When
Sonny sits down to gelatin instead
of ice cream, he'll have to use his
Imagination and think he's eating
ice cream, and when daughter finds
it's impossible to have the gang in
to supper, unless they'll be content
with ginger ale instead of coffee,
it won't be too easy for mother.
