needing shoes again some of these

wood that can be put to the mill,
the more leather we will have to

air forces to bomb the beaches
first After the first landing we
moved our ships in closer to the
eshore and later in the morning we
were able to see the big bombers

ing was so terrific that the ship
sactuany vibrated from the con-

and we could see them Smelling
the beaches and hills all day long.

they were very good at it.

Poultrymen Are
To Keep Records

The poultry year is beginning
and it's now time to start records
on the laying flock as the pullets
are put into the house. Costs on
producing a dozen eggs can be
determined by carefully listing
purchased feeds, the cost of graz
ing crops, and other items that
enter into cost records.
c. F. Parrish, Extension poultry
specialist at State College, points
out that proper flock manage
ment and feeding pay excellent
dividends. High production per
bird means low cost of produc-
ton per dozen eggs. The highest
cost of producing eggs comes in
October, November and December
when the average production is
low and egg prices are relatively
high.
Parrish suggests that for high
er egg production per bird, the
laying flock contain at least two
thirds pullets. Do not overcrowd
the flock and provide deep, clean
absorbent litter. Keep the flock
comfortable; feed well; and
watch for diseases.
Contrary to the prevailing
opinion, demonstration flock rec
ords show that the highest aver
age returns above feeding costs
are obtained in the spring of the
year when production per bird is
highest and egg prices are the
lowest.
"A note book showing the num-
Der of eggs produced per month,
the money taken in from eggs,
and feed costs and other such
items is one of the best invest
ments that poultry grower can
make" Parrish says

LABOR AIDS DANISH
GENERAL STRIKE

In accounting for the success of the
recent general strikes i'm Denmark, the
London Economist" points out that
'in Denmark the old forms of demo
cratic society survived the German
occupation. The Nazis left the trade
unions, the employers declarations and
the municipal authorities. The Danes
did not feel that their whole way of
life had been pulyeriZed out of exist
ence, and, with it, the power to react
in the accustomed manner of free men.
The Danish workers possessed in
their trade unions Instruments through
which to organize mass action. Thus
their successful strike has moral be-
yond the immediate issue of military
occupation. One of the greatest safe
guards of freedom Is the existence OF
a plurality of institutions expressing
the purposes of the citizens and indie
pendence of the state"
