Pioneer of Plenty
Philadelphia Record)

Dr. George Washington Carver, who died re- gently his home at Tuskegee Institute had per- sonal part in two great movements for human free dom-freeing of the slaves and freeing the farmer from economic serfdom.
 Born of slave parents, Dr. Carver saw the mem bers of his race win political freedom and begin their slow march to economic freedom
 In that march of the Negro of the sharecropper of all races, of the farmer everywhere he was a pioneer
 For Dr. Carver was one of the earliest workers in chemurgy, the science that deals with industrial use of farm and forest products The chemurgsts. nicknamed pioneers of plenty" pointed the way toward our modern use of plastcs and other synthetics
 They have broken the rigid economy of the past that limited material wealth to coal and iron, opened the way toward an industrial pros per1ty that they hope will include the -cropper as well as the mine-owner
 Dr. Carver often said "The things are already there. God, through my hands, brings them to light"
 So, after working his way through college he rgged up makeshift laboratory at Tuskegee and region--sweet potatoes, peanuts cotton soy beans corn clay
 From peanuts he developed more than 300 syn- thetic products-peanut butter, milk, various oils and dyes shampoo, cough medicine an imita- tion coffee a grease.
 From the sweet potato he developed 1l8 pro- ducts-a flour widely used during the World War starch, library paste, shoe polish and a synthetic rubber
 His discoveries in the of the soy bean were adopted by great automobile manufacturers for paint making. The sprayed paints used on all Ameri- can automobiles derived from his work
 He developed paving bricks from cotton pig ments from clay, canvas from corn husks. He was a noted landscape artist The Luxembourg in Paris bought one of his paintings
 He was great force in freeing the poor farm CTS in the South from the tyranny of cotton and the one-crop system. His influence was so great that while the peanut had little commercial value in 1898, it now ranks next to cotton as a money crop in Alabama and brings to the South more than S60000000 year in income
 Yet Dr. Carver would take nothing for himself He would say:
 Whatever helps the Southern farmer helps the entire South Whatever helps the South helps everybody"
 pr. Carver's life makes us all feel better about the human race. He a great American great man.

. The Farm Security Adrninistra- tion has worked out a plan for moving agricultural workers which may solve a lot of problems.
 FSA estimates that. despite dire shortage of farm labor. there are as many as half million men who can't get full employment on the land-because they are in tn @ wrong areas. The problem is to move them to areas where farmers are looking for help.
 This problem is aggravated by re- strictions on use of gasoline n d tires. However, FSA bit :. into the problem by moving 300 men from the Kentucky hills to the dairying section of Ohio, where they have been placed in jobs. Another group of 191 has been moved and put into training, ''so they'll know the hind end of COW from the fore end"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
Saturday, February 6

Benefic aspects dominate today. There is threatening sign for labor which may interfere with an entertainment project.
 HEART AND HOME: Women to- day are well directed by the stars which encourage all the finer things of life. It is date for enjoying mu- sic and the arts. There is a fair promise for weddings under this configuration which indicates that love will be lasting. The birth rate for this year will be high and the babies of wartime should be of super quality in mind and physique. If this war is Armageddon the new generation will be the most for tunate of any in history.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Evidence that the Government is preparing for long war will be seen in ma for construction and industrial pro- jects which will benefit many wide ly separated communities. National prosperity will continue to cause world envy through the eventful Winter. Emphasis now should be put upon wise economy by wage earners who must provide for se- curity in the future when incomes necessarily will be reduced. Aspects presage year of greatest incomes among groups of persons previously restricted in money affairs.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Food short ages will further test the American public in the next eight weeks, it is foretold. Black markets will appear for short periods and will be pa tronized by the selfish folk who were hoarders when rationirfg first became necessary. Gradually true patriotism will prevail among many who have been slow to realize in- dividual responsibility in winning the war. In the Spring, victory gar dens will multiply in all parts of the country.
 INTERNATIONAL A F All R S: Careful planning by the United Nations will be apparent as the fierce fighting in the Pacific brings nard-earned rewards. Inevitable los es among our armed forces will bring home to Americans the full meaning of a struggle they were unable to avoid, but as time passes the, tide toward United Nations vic- tory will turn strongly and all who battle for democracy will be greatly stimulated by high hope. i Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied perpiexities Good fortune will mingle with reverses in ways that are reassuring.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be independent and individ- ual, but talented and practical. Many may have talents of unu- sual possibilities.

WHO CAN'T FIGHT?

During that grim phase of World War II when the surviving opponents of the Axis military ugger naut could nowhere muster enough and equip raent to take the initiative. hold their own, it became the very stupid habit in some American Army.
 Although British soldiers continued to do their dogged best in continuing procession of military misfortunes-and did amazingly well with due al- lowance for the circunstances-each reverse added fresh exercise for tongues idle that they found time to work for Paul Joseph Goebbels Nor was it necessary for the Berlin radio to do more than merely help along this insiduously damaging frame of mind
 The disparagement of British military prowess, stemmng basically from stupidity or lack of thought was difficult to counter with the ordinary process of reason. It had to await refutation by events, and the coming of the time when English soldiers could meet their foes on equal footing of strength and materel.
 :, No more is heard about the 'retreating British" The in which General Aexander's British Eighth Army hurled the redoubtable Marshal Romnlel's force out of Egypt and chased it two thirds of the way Libya, and the style in which the British First Army has battered at the NaM bridgehead in Tunisa. have served more effec- lively than any amount of talk reasoning to dis pose of the Nazcultvated notion that British fight ing men innately inferior to their foes. Thanks to comparative equaty of numbers and equipment on several fronts the British longer passively on the defensive any of the worlds battlefronts They are on the offense both ends of the North
