Farmers Urged
To Market Beans
AT Proper Time
More Than 10000 Bushels OF
Beans Sold This Week;
Prices Are Good

Beans continue to pour into the
Farmers Bean and Vegetable
Market here this week. where
more than 10000 bushels have
been sold at an average slightly
over $3.50.
Buyers and officials pointed
out that one reason prices on the
market remain good is that beans
are being picked at the right
stage. Il want to urge farmers
to continue to pick their beans
before they are too fully develop
ed as those beans have little
market value, Joseph Gourlay
government representative, said
yesterday.
While many people in this Sec
ton prefer the beans, which they
eat to be fully developed, it is
the young tender beans which the
shippers want, it was pointed out
For this reason, farmers should
guard against waiting too long to
pick and market their beans.
Many buyers who have been on
other markets at this season, re-
port that as a whole, this market
is the best in the two states at
the present and that the quality
of the beans is unusually good.
Mr.. Gourlay is cooperating
with the market and is making
purchases for the F. D. A. of ma
ny of the beans failing to bring
over $1.35. Mr.. Gourlay stated
that he had been authorized to
pay $1.35 per bushel, loaded in
the car, of all beans eighty per
cent number one quality and SIPS
of those from sixty to eighty per
cent number one quality. This
will help keep the prices of the
market up.

Rev. John Jordan
Is Rotary Speaker

Rev. John S. Jordan told the
members of the Rotary Club last
week that to do a good job and
make a success at anything, a
man must first prepare for a job;
second, have patience; third, stu
dy the job; and fourth, keep cool
and never get excited.
He illustrated this by several
men going fishing, and said to be
good fishermen, one must have
these four qualities. He also said
he believed that the reason that
the first disciples that Jesus Sc
lected were fishermen was that
they had these good qualities.

DETROIT. March 25 --(Pl-r
Col. George E. Strong, observ-
ing that the city of Ypsilanti
was going 10 be "industrialized"
despite its preference for a col
lege town atmosphere, ex-
presses confidence of solution of
Willow Runs housing problems.
Describing the Army as "op-
tlmistic about the whole setup,"
Colonel Strong left no room for
doubt in a speech here yester-
day that the Army fully expects
the big bomber plant al Willow

"The Army needs the planes
that Willow Run can make and
the Army is going to get them"
Strong said.
The Colonel implied that the
Army would not tolerate a lack
of housing and then said.
The city of Ypsilanti, only
three and half miles away,
is going TO be 'industrialized.
although il would prefer that
its college town atmosphere not
be disturbed.

nical for small businessmen and for
individual citizens to understand or
to answer clearly. Questions have
been piled upon questions. But the
saddest-and most discouraging-
finding of the joint committee is that
many of these questionnaires serve
no useful purpose, and the answers
are filed away and no use made Of
them.
The joint committee properly has
made recommendations to place
check on this business Of interrogat-
ing the American people. 1t pro-
poses to enact a law to give the
Bureau Of the Budget complete con-
troll over the agencies of the Govern
ment sending out questionnaires,
and to require that it compel these
agencies to simplify and coordinate
these demands for reports. The
Bureau would act as central
agency for receiving the information
and distributing it to the interested
agencies. And, as a further restraint
of the QUESTIONABLE evil, Congress
would be asked to limit the amounts
of money which may be used for this
purpose by the various agencies.

Tire Recuppinq

The decision to lift the reStric-
tiOns on tire recapping, beginning
next month. Genes as a first and a
welcome break for the motoring
public.
Under the present system, in order
to have tire recapped it is neces-
sary TO have the tire inspected and
the recapping Job approved by tire
Inspector. Then the motOriSt must
get from his ration board a certificate
for presentation to the recapper, at
best slow and veXatious procedure
Because Of the trouble involved in
this process, some motorists have put
of needed recapping work until their
tires were SO worn that they could
not be reCapped and have had to be
replaced with the sO-Called Victory
tire, which uses considerably more
reclaimed rubber than in a recap job.
Thus. the plan to permit any mo-
torist to get a tire reCapped without
going through the time wasting in
spection and certifcation proceeding
is expected to encourage motorists to
have their tires recapped when they
need it, thereby saving reclaimed
rubber in the long run.
1t should be emphasized, however,

Hawaii Toduy

The people of Hawaii have been
patiently philosophic in their atti-
tude toward military rule since the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,
December 7, 1941. All the more rea-
son then is there for rejoicing in the
improvement of conditions in the
whole North Pacific area which now
is making possible the restoration
of most of the functions of terri
torial administration to civilian au-
thority.
Lieutenant General Delos c. EN-
mons will remain as military gov
ernor and the right of habeas corpus
continues to be suspended. But food
production and distribution, control
of prices, medical and sanitary rou-
tines, supervision of rents, traffic and
commercial procedures, censorship of
insular mail, management of schools,
labor relations, banking and the sale
of alcoholic beverages-all these and
many other operations soon will be in
the hands of Governor Ingram Stain
back and the local executive per-
sonnel. Only in the event Of another
enemy raid will the Army take
charge again.
Such an assault, of course, may
occur. If SO, the full fighting strength
Of the American forces in that part
Of the world will be brought into ac-
ton for the defense of the Territory.
Almost half a century has passed
since 1t came under the protection
Of the American flag on February
Is, 1898. How much that guardian
ship means and how we'll it is mer-
tied by the people Of the islands
have been demonstrated convincingly
whenever required. In the prevail
ing emergency, as Secretary of the
Interior Ickes has said, "the popula-
tion Of Hawaii has distinguished
itself for its courage and resolution
in the face Of danger, for its dis
cipline in the face of severe re-
straints and its willingness to make
every sacrifice to aid the war"
Thousands of neighbors on the main
land share with the residents of the
islands determination that thev
shall be appreciated in practical
terms.

LIFE'S INTERRUPTED PERIODS
By the Right Reu. JAMES FREEMAN, D. D, D., C. L.,
Bishop OF Washington

Matthew Arnold says somewhere that
now and again men and peoples are
seized with what he calls, divine dis
content" He was dealing with those re-
curing periods in life where men, in
stitutions, the state and the church
itself, find themselves pursuing a course
that lacks deflniteness of objective.
An incident is related Of an ancient
people in process of migration from the
try that they called the Land of Prom
ise." They had experienced many and
great difficulties in the process of their
migration. Now and again they had
come to situations that presented in
superable barriers, but In each instance,
after long delays, they had 'surmounted
them. At length they came to spot
described as Mount SER, and their his
torian says: I'VE compassed Mount
SER many days" They had reached an
impasse, and from lethargy or lack of
belief in the ultimate attainment of the
land they hoped to occupy, they had
reached a period of utter stagnation. It
was in this situation that word came to
them, through their leader, saying, "Ye
have compassed this mountain long
enough, turn you northward." Under
the stimulation and persuasion of this
commanding word, they continued their
journey and ultimately reached the
Land of Promise" The story is an in
teresting and suggestive one.
Repeatedly in life come periods,
whether in the life of the individual or
of people, where for one reason or an
other, failure of logical attainment is
caused by an excess of conservatism and
a lack of the spirit of adventure, or an
undue satisfaction with things as they
are. Such period is fraught with perils
and leads ultimately to defeat. Despite
the fact that all our energies are being
employed in the prosecution of a great
war, there is an insistent call heard TODAY
to dare to plan, even now, course of
procedure that shall lead us ultimately
Evening star., 1943-02-14

away from the mount We have long en-
compassed to a new field OF high en-
deavor. breadth OF purpose and loftiness
of vision.
We believe that the young people of
our time are more impatient as they face
the conditions of life as they have been,
more Jealous to usher in a new and bet
ter day than their elders. It is also
evident that the leaders of the Christian
church are being awakened to recognize
the demands that are being laid upon
them, and that they are preparing to
meet these demands by the finer evi-
dences of Christian craftsmanship. The
Christian religion is essentially progress
sive in its aims. 1t has suffered most
and lost its prestige where it has been
content with course of action that is
conservative and purely traditional
Its great leader was daring and ad-
venturesome. Filled with the fire of
youth and with the consciousness OF
power that was irresistible, he demanded
of his followers that they pursue course
characterized by heroism and utter faith
in the divine purpose of his nilsson. He
foresaW the costs entailed in the course
he pursued He also saw the divine
purpose of his mission. His followers
today are being put to the severest test
they have ever known. They are being
called upon to give demonstrative ex-
hibition of their faith and of their ad-
herence to the principles given them by
their Master. The mount they have en-
compassed for long periods must be
abandoned. The way that lies before
them may prove a difficult one. 1t will
call for finer exhibition of Christian
principles and ideals as applied to the
practical problems of life.
We are reminded Of the striking words
of President Wilson: The light is shin
ing on the road ahead, and 1t shines
nowhere else" What applies to the
Christian cause and the Christian dis
ciple, applies to life generally. There is
divine discomfort" that marks the
beginning Of every new forward move
ment
