the right of naming their own
court clerks and have split among
themselves the appointment to
other Jobs on the staff.

SHARING, TAKING, SAVING

''Our civilian food consumption
alone, last year amounted to IS per
cent of our record-breaking food pro
duction. The last two years have been
the greatest feast period we ever
had" War Food Administrator Ches-
ter c. Davis said in a recent address.
''Note this fact: In our first full year
of war the American civilian popu
lation consumed more food than in
any other year in our history except
1941, which was only fraction high
err.
much of the talk of food shortage
has arisen from the fact that we have
more money to spend for food than
we ever had before, and being hum
an, we haye tried to spend it. AS long
as that condition of excess money to
spend exists, the American civilian
will continue to clamor for recore
food supplies. Rationing of food
the principle of sharing should, OF
course, modify this scramble to get it
But applying this sharing principle
to food alone isn't enough. The cause
of the trouble, the excess purchasing
power itself, will still remain, unless
1t too is misunderstanding this ex
cess purchasing power through much
heavier savings and taxation"

Planes Garry Medicine to
South American Workers

The fast-growing web of inter-
American airlines is playing a new
wartime role as life saver for
workers in the Western hemisphere s
battle for production. South-bound
planes from the United States are
carrying to the other Americas in
dispensable cargoes of anti-malarial
drugs and other medical supplies for
the inter-American health and SAM
tation program.
Thousands of additional workers
are being moved into the Amazon
valley and other rubber-producing
areas of the Americas to the south
Thousands more are entering mines
and forests to increase production of
other strategic materials for United
Nations war needs. These workers
must be protected against malaria,
yellow fever, typhoid, dysentery and
other diseases which imperil life in
tropical and semi-tropical areas.
In the race against time to pro-
vide medical services for these
workers, the great air transport sys-
TENS built up in the past two dec
AIDES OPPORTUNITY serve the doctors
and sanitary engineers engaged in
the health program. Many of these
doctors and engineers have flown
south from the United States to join
medical authorities of the other
Americas in the largest cooperative
health and sanitation program yet
undertaken among the Americas.
When these doctors and engineers
get started on their projects, then
the medical supplies usually begin
to flow south by airplane. Already
many millions of tablets of atabrine
and substantial supplies of valuable
but relatively lightweight medical
equipment have been moved by air
transport. Equipment includes such
items as microscopic slides, first aid
kits, hospital scales, blood pressure
apparatus, water analysis equip.
ment, mosquito catching equipment
and medical books.

BAD BOYS

FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover ex
presses grave conrern about the ire
mendous increase in Juvenile delin
quenry. Mr.. Hoover tells of the de
struction of industrial and railroad
property through youthful and prac-
teal jokes and he says it "can prove
as serious a menace to the success
of America s war effort as deliberate,
enemy inspired sabotage" He tells
of cases in which boy set fire to a
large supply of infiammable boxes
in California, and other boys placed
oak planks across rail road TRACK
over which an ammunition train was
to pass. Other children placed spikes
in a railway switch. Still another
boy cut air hoses on four railroad
cars in an apparent attempt to wreck
the train.
Hoover is appealing for greater
effort than ever by parents, families,
schools, churches youth organiza-
tions and law enforcement agen-
cies to provide wholesome and con
structive outlets for the energies and
talents of American youths. He asks
the public to help keep the boys from
getting into SO much trouble.

"NE1GHBoR" EQUALS LABOR"

'In most farm countries the po-
tential farm labor supply is adequate
If three groups meet their response
bilities," says War Food Admins
traitor Davis. "All three are local. "
1.-THE first is the responsibility OF
the labor itself, and its willingness
to work on farms. l mean the towns
people who can work part time or
full time on farms, the young people
from schools and colleges, the wom-
en-, the retired, and the people of leis-
ure. The example of both our Allies
and our enemies, and the experience
on our own farms last year, have
proved that this labor exists by the
hundreds of thousands and, also, that
1t can do the work.
"The second is the farmers re-
sponsibility, his willingness to use
this labor, much of 1t inexperienced
and unskilled He will find it diff
cult to complain of farm labor
shortage and still refuse to use these
workers who have so proved theil
usefulness.
"The third is the administrative
responsibility of the various local
agencies involved, which center in
the county agnet's office, to see that
this labor is modified, is trained ii
necessary, and is placed, and to see
that the farmer makes the best use
of it."

little or no vitamin C left in them.
Undue exposure to air after the skins
are removed and overlooking in an
uncovered container destroy vitamin
c. This is one reason that tomatoes
should be prepared and canned as
quickly as possible. Usually whole
tomatoes have more food value than
tomato juice, partly because a con-
siderable amount of vitamin A is
lost in the pulp that fails to go
through the strainer when the juice
is made, but mainly because greater
exposure to air destroys vitamin C..
If you want first-class canned to-
matoes, use freshly gathered, firm
ripe, sound fruit-one small bad spot
can ruin whole batch. Wash the
tomatoes before scalding; scald a
few at time. Remove all core,
slip off the skins, and cut away
green spots. Pack the tomatoes tight
into clean hot jars-this is best done
by pressing each tomato down with
a wooden spoon. Add salt to season
to suit your taSte-the usual amount
is one teaspoon to the quart. Seal
Jars according to manufacturers in
structions and process So minutes in
hot water bath. If tomatoes are
not fresh from the garden, process
As minutes.
No juice can be better than the
fruit from which it is made, so be
sure to use strictly fresh, firm-ripe,
red tomatoes, which are free from
all decay. Wash well and cut away
any green spots or weather cracks.
Weather cracks are those splits that
form around the stem ends when
hot sunshine follows a hard rain.
Such tomatoes are unfit for canning
or juice unless used Immediately
after picking. Leave the tomatoes
whole and steam or bake them until
they are soft; then press through
fine sieve, preferably cone-shaped
one; reheat the juice to simmering;
pour into sterilized jars and process
80 minutes at simmering. The pulp
will separate from the juice unless
a very fine sieve is used or if too
much heat is applied at any time.
Oh, so you boil the juice in an open
kettle until it is thick? Well, that's
fine way to get rid of most of those
precious vitamins.
The best tasting juice is that made
by pressing whole home canned to-
matoes through sieve just before
serving. Any seasonings liked may
be added before canning but the
juice will be better if Seasonings,
except salt, are added when the
juice is opened for serving, and even
the salt may be left out.

Through the ages singing has been
instrumental in arousing courage
and uplifting faith. Today amidst
world turbulence people are being
urged to sing more. Individually and
collectively, therefore, they are par
ticipating fervently and frequently
in the singing of their national an
thems.
The deep spiritual significance OF
the above inspiring declaration in
the last verse Of the national an
them of the United States of America
is worthy of thoughtful meditation
at this time, and serves to remind US
of the wisdom of those words prov
cribs 3:5), "Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding"
ALI through both the Old and the
New Testament are accounts OF VIC
tories and rejoicings by faithful ones
who put their trust in God when in
need of a sustaining power greater
than their own limited human abil-
tiles. Their faith that Righteousness
must prevail, and that their strength
was of God, was their assurance OF
ultimate victory.
Christ Jesus taught his disciples
and followers the Importance of rec
ognizing and acclaiming God as
Father of all. His earthly ministry
was entirely devoted to urging all
men to renew faith in God, to trust
Him, and to seek an understanding
of Him, and he proved through his
healing work that this understand
ing was vitality necessary to their Joy
and happiness. -.

Science: "The great ! AM; the all
knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all
wise, ALLOWING and eternal; Prin.

God Is Spirit. He is the only cause
and creator, and man, created in His
image and likeness, therefore is spir-
itual. Man is not material, mortal;
he reflects Spirit and is immortal.
Knowing God as Principle enables
us to discern that the real man In
Gods image Is righteous in all his
actions. Man, the perfect idea Of
God, divine Love, is loving and low
able, incapable Of either hate or fear.
Because God is good and has created
everything good, man. His reflection.
is the manifestation Of good. The
understanding OF the allness of good
eliminates any opposite belief, and
demonstrates the nothingness and
unhealthy of evil and Its claims to
power.
As we intelligently place. more
trust In Gods ever-presence, His om-
nipotent power, and His plan and
purpose for His creation. our happi-
ness and success are ensured. We
soon find ourselves expressing more
harmony in our daily affairs; con-
fusion gives way to calm and poise;
intolerance is replaced by tolerance,
and we awaken to greater sense of
love and unselfishness. We gain an
understanding of real security and
substance, proving that they that
trust in the Lord shall be as mount

AS we strive to consecrate our
thinking to good, to glorify God In
all our activities, and trust His I'M

King Philip Liked Picture,
Decorated Artist on 1t

When Velasquez, the celebrated
Spanish painter, had finished his ia
nous picture, "Las Meninas," which
includes not only Philip and his
queen, but this artist himself, brush
in hand, he asked the king, ''Is any
thing lacking, your majesty"
Philip could not conceal his adj
miration for the great work. Never
theless he replied: ''It lacks one
thing"
Velasquez waited for an explana-
ton, but instead Philip took the
palette from the artist hand and be-
gan to make the required addition
to the canvas himself. When finally
he finished his work and stood
aside, Velasquez looked to see what
his royal patron had done, and dis
covered that upon the artists figure
in the picture, the king had painted
the Cross Of the Order of Santiago.

Wormseed Oil

Wormseed oil is probably one OF
the worlds least known products,
although the plant from which it
comes is related to beets and spin
ach. Thus far, only small supplies
have been sent overseas, but ship
ments are likely to increase because
the product has remarkable med
icinal qualities-is used in treating
intestinal ailments in humans that
are caused by internal parasites.
Also known as oil of chenopodium,
the product is obtained by distilla-
ton of the wormseed plant, a spe-
cies of chenopodium. Some 81 per
cent of the worlds commercial pro-
duction of the oil comes from about
1000 acres under cultivation near
the village of Mt. Airy in the south
ern part of Carroll county, Mary
land. Flowers, leaves and stems are
distilled to produce the oil, which is
light amber and has bitter burning
taste. The oil is a medicine and
is to be used only when prescribed
by a physician.
