during the first World War, will be
interested in communication
which Mrs Alma S. King received
from him this week. Now ieuten-

RVS note was written from The
Citadel, South Carolina. The mes
sage is quoted:
I'm celebration of the Tooth an

West Point of the South, it is with
great pleasure that | am able to
state that the Saturday Evening
Post of March 20, l943, as well as
the Chicago Tribune have featured
The Citadel in color, and | ear
nestly suggest that you get copy
and read it.
II have charge of the infantry
unit here, and next to being on the
fighting front, know of no place

AS you know, age keeps many of
us from doing as much as we could,
and so we have to be content with

The Weather
A Dead Topic

AS you know, mention OF the
weather on the radio these days is
forbidden The newspapers can de-
scribe snow storm or hot spell
but the radio commentators cannot.
There is good reason for this.
A lurking submarine could pick up
a newscast, and if enough facts con
corning the weather were revealed
by stations In enough widely sep
arated localities, even an amateur
meteorologist--and the Germans are
no amateurs-could make a pretty
good weather forecast by putting two
and two together.
But being unable to describe the
manifestations Of nature that / see
on my way to work in the morning
is terrible handicap to me. Re-
Gently I've gotten around the diff
Guilty by talking about last week $
weather, and before going on the
air, reading what | was going to
say to the censorship officials and
getting their Q. X. In no case did
they restrict me. The other day,
however. | forgot to call up the Cen
sorship office but the Blue Network
didn't forget. got this message:
Censorship says you have to cut
out all references to weather from
now on. They say that there was
nothing actually censorable in what
you have said or what you have
written today but so many com
plants have come in from other
stations that you were violating
the regulations, and SO many other
stations have been using your COM
ments on the weather as an excuse
for violating the rule, that we will
have to ask you to stop discussing
the subject entirely
The following is what censorship
didn't let me say but what it has no
objection to my printing:
1T was pretty hard the past week
no. to mention the swiftly changing
scene which nature provided Wash
ingtonians-one day, not SO long ago
a top coat was far too heavy for
comfort and in the park, the dark
patches were beginning to be studded
with ieWeled buds and the sunlight
seemed to turn into solid gold on the
bursting forsythia. On that balrny
day I remarked Well, we must be
due for a blizzard.
"Twenty-four hours later the fine
snow began to fall and late that aft
ernoon and the following morning,
the tree limbs and trunks were
wrapped in great soft blankets Of
down--even the high branches we're
wide bands of white-but when we
went home from work in the eve
ming, the streets were dry and clean
again and only here and there in
the shadow of a hedge or in the
sheltering cups of the brown ivy
leaves was dust of snoW-like
meager sprinkling of precious
sugar on the rim of doughnut.

However, there is another loop
hole which all of the farmers or the
farm men in service may not know
about. A soldier over 38 years Of
age who is on active duty in the
continental United States can get his
discharge right now if he can get a
statement from his local farm agent
to the effect that he is needed.
But the application has to get in
by May |. The same thing applies
to men overseas and they have until
June. Dieter tell them by V-Mail. J
The President explained to us
twice, why batch uf--yonng men
couldn't be pulled out of division
and sent home.
You can take 10 or 20 soldiers out
OF an outfit that has just started
training and it doesn't make much
difference. But you can't take that
many men out of an outfit already
trained and booked for overseas. Not
without Gripping the outfit so badly
that it really interferes with battle
plans.
That's his explanation and he
made it to us the other day, leaning
back in his chair and obviously try
ing hard to get over an idea that
he believes is right.
There is going to be ''land
army" He said he didn't like the
term because it made the farmers
think they were going to have lot
Of green city folks descend on them.
He knows what the farmers think
about folks who will scare the
horses. sprain their ankles, try to
milk COW and when she doesn't
give, say: The valves are stuck"

England they have increased food
production go per cent. And they
did it with the help Of land army,
mostly women with no previous
training. They got the training. A
lot depends on the training.
| talked with farmer near here

shorts were something you wore

Maybe you heard him talk on the
Farm and Home Hour. Well, met
him and the farmer, too. The kid
is crazy to get back this summer
and the farmer told me he was
sick when he had to let him 60 back
to school. City folks are dumb in a
lot of ways. But so are farmers.
It's true you can lead horse to
water but you can't make him drink.
Also, a lot of horses have got the
sense to drink If you've got sense to
lead them to the water.
In spite of dumb help or none at

of the country have signed up to

Home on furlough."
wonder how many of my read
ers remember that very popular
print of two Tor maybe more) gen.
erations ago. Well, never mind if
you don't Though would appreciate
letter from any who do); "home
on furlough" is going to mean
something quite different now.
| remember the original picture
only vaguely. | didn't know what
the word 'furlough" meant. But |
know there was tousle-headed
blond boy in the middle Of an ad-
miring farm family. telling his ad-
ventures.
Today, the farm boy with con-
science. and the farm family with a
farm, are looking forward to the
furlough" that will bring the boy
home for work, not the telling OF his
tales of adventure.
1t isn't going to be quite that way.
The President, when the farm bloc
was riding the administration its
hardest last month, went into con-
siderable detail as to what was to
be done to solve the farm labor
question. Since then some concrete
steps have been taken but not the
ones the farmers, or some of them,
would have liked. They would have
liked their own sons, or their own
hands, who enlisted because they
simply couldn't stay ''out of the
show back doing the old chores
they used to do. But this is what
the army said:
1.-THE army does not contemplate
furloughing individual soldiers to
work on farms" the war department
announced in a statement clarifying
policies and procedures by which
soldiers may be used to alleviate
the farm labor shortage.
World War | experience dem
onstrated that such temporary re-
leases of individual soldiers were of
little assistance to the agriculture
industry and disrupted the organiza-
ton and training of the army. If
furloughs were granted for this pur-
pose, neither agriculture nor the
army could be assured that the SOL
diers thus furloughed actually would
be engaged in agricultural activities.
Certain emergency situations
may develop in which vital crops
may be endangered because of crit
ical shortages in local agricultural
labor. In such cases, military units
may be employed under command
Of their own officers to supplement
the local farm labor until the crisis
is over
Troops SO employed will be
housed and fed by the army and will
be subject to military control at all
times.
Requests for use of military units
for emergency farm duty must be
transmitted to the war department
