Mica Trimmers

A community enterprise is now under way at CedarhurSt, L. l. They have set up a war production center with mem- bers all volunteers. Work is carried on and done gratis, those giving their serV- ices, including bankers, merchants, and so on. The personnel grew from six to one hundred in very short time. Their war task is processing and trimming mica for the government. Mica trimming seems like something alien to present day needs in war time, but it was arrived at after due deliberation. And mica trimming, it seems, can be learned in very short time. A sharp knife and an apron are the two needed articles for work and 1t can be learned by children or grownupS. The mica is used in government plants, we wouldn't venture to say in what ca pacity.
 The Long Island city has hired an empty store where the mica trlmmerS gather and do their work. It sounds as Enough it might be something like whit ting. To most of us mica is rather vague product which we have been &C., customed to call isinglaSs. AS matter of fact we readily admit as far as we were concerned it had no important uses Iii defense plants, but like many other prod ucts. rayOn, for instance, was are begin ming to realize that there are very few natural or manufactured products that cannot be utilized somewhere in this day and age.

Good Planting, Gardener!

There will be many amateurs this spring in the making of gardens There will be plenty of beginners luck, and likely there will also be beginners fail- ure. A garden in it's flourishing stage looks like something very easy to make; you might even plant a garden yourself and produce work of art
 However, when it gets down to brass tacks or green string beans garden is nothing academic. In fact, it is some thing that goes in the very higher edu- cstion class; that is, unless you are a born gardener, son or daughter of the soil, as it were, with farming in your blood.
 At the present time - the ground is still fairly hard in most of New England Lit is only in the warm parts of the country where first crops of victory veg etables have started to sprout. In most of the country it will be weeks before radishes break through the ground and longer still before beet tops are ready for thinning and eating. There are beet greens on the market now, but they are ~ A4OViAOuoC NetlASVJ eto uLS bAAS NCAANASAASA'S which will sprout through your front lawn later. All this being so and winter still felt in New England millions of our folks at home are starting to plan their crops. The gardening year has begun
 There used to be saying in the farm country that no soil was ready to be turned until after St. Patrick's Day. We can well believe that as March 17 is uSu- ally cold sort of day. But it won't be long before you can get your plot marked off and made ready for peas, beans lettuce and so on. It is estimated that by the end of summer 1943 the country will have seen the largest crop of privately grown vegetables ever at tempted and included in the crop will be successes and failures.
 The experienced gardeners expect to take care of all their vegetable needs for the summer, and to put up" half of the output against an uncertain winter ahead They will also help out their rel ativeS and friends with the overflow. To one and all let's say-good planting, gardener!

Rationing Complications

Let's have one thing understood at the outset. This is no complaint. The diff culties to be mentioned may be unavoid- able in connection with rationing, and certainly rationing is necessary. At any rate, inauguration of the point system has created several problems Of which, two are important One is the financial and manpower burden placed upon retailers. The other is a new boost in the already high cost of food for the family. Ratloning is going to cost the nations food retailers around $125, 100000 year, and more as new items are added. It is going to require services equivalent to fhe full time of 100000 men and women, an unmeasurable part of which presunl-

Trade Names

When England was forced to concen- trate industry by forcing producers of civilian goods to convert to war material, she safeguarded valuable trade names The products of converted factories are made for them by unconverted plants, so that as little as possible shall be lost.
 When Governor Tugwell took jurisdic- tion over imports to Puerto Rico because of shipping shortages, he promptly elim- mated trade names and labels and sub stituted his own brand marks, which means nothing as to the content of the package Thus manufacturers were de- prived of the fruits of their initiative, within MT. Tugwell's jurisdiction. In Eng land winning the war comes first.

that belief. And this, of course, is quite satisfactory answer. But the Archbishop has added a very important factor by his use of the word "active". A Christian is one in whom the spirit of Christ is &C., tive. By this he not only means that the spirit of Christ makes people active in good works but that the spirit itself is active in a true Christians heart, thus molding his desires, fashioning his impulses, di- recting his thought, and above all giving him confidence and peace of mind. We have the picture here of leaven working at the center of mans nature = force of active energy, vitalizing the whole of ones outlook on life and directing his actions.
 Many people have set themselves to define the meaning of the word Christian but few have made a bet ter job of 1t than the learned and devout Archbishop Of Canterbury who, with real spiritual penetration. has declared that Christian is a person in whom the spirit of Christ is active.

Press Comment
A WORD TO MRS. SCHULTZ" Christian Science Monitor)


 "Well, goodbye, Mrs. Browne. Here, don't forget your prize. See you next Tuesday. We'll pick up you and Mrs. Finebaum on this corner at 1 o'clock. Don't forget! Goodbye, now"
 "All right, Mrs. Schultz. Good bye!"
 Mrs. Browne was clambering out of sedan into which at least six other women were wedged. It was obvious where she had been. Bridge prize" was written all over the gaudy vase she clutched In her arms.
 The sedan bore a conspicuous blue and white "A" sticker, and the matronly Mrs. Schultz wore the self satisfied smile of one who was mak- ing a sacrifice in a worthy cause. Wasn't she carrying six women to Mrs. Jones' and sharing rides, like Uncle Sam said?"
 Probably there are many like the smiling woman at the wheel who think they are doing the right thing but who still do not understand why they are asked to stop all driving for pleasure.
 "Doesn't the government let me have three gallons week? Cant I do what I please with my measly three gallons?" Mrs. Schultz might ask.
 No, ma'am! You are not expected to use any of your three gallons a week unless absolutely necessary. The less gasoline you-and all other A-card holders-use, the less de- mand on tank-car, tanker, and pipe line space. Thus vital fuel oil can be delivered by car and pipeline and tankers can be devoted solely to sup plying the armed forces, including our tanks and planes.
 You understand, don't you, Mrs. Schultz?
 sAny fancied resemblance of any chafacter herein to any person of the readers acquaintance may or may not be purely imaginary.

 Real fact that Glare was cooked up" to make her air route speech by her Connecticut campaign man. ager Sam Pryor, who in addition to being Republican National Committeeman, Is vice president of Pan American Airways and has been buster than a bird-dog lobby ing among Senators recently.
 Good as his lobbying is, how ever, Sam'S slickest job was get ting Clare Luce to do her stuff.
 Inside fact Is that Pan Amer ican Airways Is seethlng mad at the British and vice versa. The British, through New Zealand company, Yerex, have applied for a license to fly from Rio De JaneirO to Miami, which is direct invasion of Pan American's monopoly area. So 1t has thrown all its high-geared lobbying genius into opposing the British in Braxil-and other places.
 Meanwhile the British have pro- tested over Pan Americas refusal to give them anything except emergency landing privileges at an important air base. This air base is one of the greatest in West Africa, built entirely with U. s. Government funds, but owned by pan American. It has barred the British.
 This dog-in -the-manger attitude is one question sure to be dis cussed by Eden.
 Another question for discussion, If the State Department IS on lts toes, is the British dog-in-the- manager attitude in the South Pa cific. British policy is more benevolent now that the U. s. A. is supporting its Dominions below the equator. But short time ago 1t was another story.
 Just one year before the war broke, the State Department sent the British 8 note annOunc. ing its desire to claim Canton Island and other members of the Phoenix group. But rec0gnlz- ing the British might have some claims, the State Department suggested that both countries join in settling them.

A War Council of 43 members has been named by Governor Baldwin to carry on ConnecticutS war activities which are many. The vast national state and city programs are such that one wonders at times how affairs can be successfully handled without muddling. The new state council is large enough and It's members from sufficient communities to function capably. The Hartford Times considers it rather large group to func- tion successfully but "preSumes 1t will be managed by small and compact execu- tive committee"

refuses to recognize chiropodists while the Navy gives them special recognition.
 Convinced that their ministra- tioas to the feet are something soldiers need, the chiropodists have been plugging for establishment of Q chiropodistS corps in the Army.
 Meanwhile the Navy's Surgeon General, Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntire, has commissioner a number of chirI ;distS, while the Army's Surgeon General, James c. Magee, will have no foot doctors wearing shoulder insignia in his Army.
 Actually, as non-ocmmissioned officers there are about 400 chir. opodists in the Medical Corps, do- ing the same foot work as if they were recognized with commissions. but they get no Army recogni- tion.

Flower shows this year have been cut down to exhibitions. The spectacular floral displays of other years, especially at the Grand Central Palace in New YorK City are not in order this year. The New York Show this year is at the Hortlcul- tural headquarters. The show Of other wears was one to remember but had come to be something of a mob scene. NO lineup at the moving picture theaters was ever greater than those that formed at the doors of that show every year.
