The Truth About Turkey

through 1910 and 1941, with
threats and entreaties, promises
and buster, to secure Luftwaffe
bases in Anatolia, to secure pas
sage for Italian warships and
naval auxiliary craft through the
Dardanelles, to rupture the Anglo
Turkish-French chrome accord and
seize a monopoly upon chrome ore
from Anatolia. The Turks said no,
through the superlatively adept Nu-
man Menemencioglu, the Foreign
Office genius and his military
steering committee, politely but
definitely.
OUTMANEUVER PAPEN
Reichsambassador Franz Won
Papen, the vastly overrated ex-
chancellor, brandished the menace
of the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht.

had no military answer. The
Turkish army, tough and willing,
could muster less than half a
million poorly equipped fighting
men, handful of ancient war
planes, few creaking Renault
tanks, virtually no artillery, little
or no morot transport, precious
little rail transport-and only the
incredibly bad roads and semi
single-track railroads of treach-
erous Anatolia upon which to op-
perate it. So Menemencioglu out

Moscow, panicky at German ad-

front, screamed for Second
Front and when it was not forth

upon Ankara. The Turks firmly
declined to open diversionary
hostilities with Germany, opera
tons which then could only have
been disastrous for the Allied
cause.
APPLY PRESSURE
Britain, too, was pressing for
Turkish entry into the war. U. S.
Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt
received instructions to apply
pressure upon Turkey and he fol-
lowed orders-although he quietly
pointed out to the State Depart
ment that our Lend-Lease aid to
Turkey was far below quota.

county commissioners aided the
by offering war bonds
for prizes and,- last year, there
were 1900 gardens in the county,
most of them being on Roanoke
Island. Some of the gardens were
only two or three rows of vegeta-
bles in the yard but they helped
out in the food situation.
Miss Hendley says that the home
demonstration club women alone
canned over 10000 quarts in addi-
ton to what was canned by nom
members. The situation has not
been so good this season due to
the extremely dry summer but
everyone has planted fall garden
and much late canning will be
done. Even On the sandy banks,
the garden program has been eff
fective. Those who have kept
chickens or cows have carefully
conserved the manure and with
this nave succeeded in growing
respectable plots of vegetables.
Mrs. nj. H. HolloWell, whose hus-
band is known to thousands of sum-

Mays Head, takes great pride in
showing her garden. She broke the
record for the county with water

have learned, as they have tried to
grow their own food supplies, is
that it pays to use mulch on this

Dare County people are proud Of
their scuppernong grape vines. The

one of the sights to which every
visitor is directed but nearly every
little farm has vine that is, the
pride of the household.
Marcus Meekins took me out to
see the vine. on his place and ac-
cording to his best estimate, it is
more than 100 years old. The main
trunk is larger, I believe, than that
of the famous Mother Vine.
Meekins takes pleasure also in
showing his friends some magnifi-
cent mahogany furniture which
must have come from England with
his forebears. His home is furnish
ed with handcarved bedsteads,
dropleaf tables and other furniture
which would bring tears of envy to
the modern antique collector. He
takes it all as matter of course.
"Just simple little dwelling" he
says, ''but it's home"
Although fishing still remains the
principal occupation Of most Dare
County people, they also are giving
their attention to chickens and feed

turkeys being grown as an expert

chickens are common. Most of tae
ablebodied men are in the Coast
Guard or are at work at the Naval

production of food and feed be
given more attention.

Express Alarm

ST. CLAIR SHORES - A
note of alarm was expressed to-
day by Red Cross officials over
the lack of interest being shown
in the Blood Bank scheduled
for Tuesday, August 8. To date
the registation of prospective
donors has fallen far short of
the required mark.
In order to assure the success
of the project, which is being
sponsored by the st. Clair
Shores Women's Club, a regis
tration of $50 pesons is requir-
ed. Failure to meet the quota
would result in the cancellation
of future dates, according to
Mrs. Milton Sicklesteel, Jr.,
local chairman.
Commenting on the lack of
registrations, Mrs. Sicklesteel
said, THE recent favorable
course of the fighting seems to
have pesuaded some people that
the war is as good as won. This
is not so, and we at home can
not slack up in our efforts to
help win"
There are countless instances
where the immediate admins
tration of blood plasma to a
wounded man has been re-
sponsible for the actual saving
of his life. A constant flow Of
supplies, including the liife-sav-
ing blood piasma, must be kept
moving to the battlefonts and
those supplies must come from
the homefront.
Blood bank donors are urged
to register with Mrs j. B. Bel
anger, Roseville 155l-W or Mrs.
N. r. Kerns, Roseville 0562-M,
as soon as possible.
The bank is to be held at
Lakeview High School and the
hours from until 1880 o'clock
have been so arranged for the
convenience of the greatest
number of people.

May Re.Hear
Club Petition
Noe Is Faced
by Court Order

Circuit Judge Alton H. Noe
has before him this week a Su-
preme Court order calling for
review of the action of the St.
Clair Shores village authorities
in denying owners of Blossom
Heath, a license to operate a soft
G INK parlor and also refusal to
grant them water facilities.
The circuit Judge faces a July
81 deadline, a date set by the
Supreme Court for action on the
order.
The court order issued last
week indicates that an entire re-
view of the st. Clair Shores
commission action will probably
be heard before the circuit court.
Just who the judge will be is
to be determined by District
Judge Joseph A. Moynihan of
Detroit, who will make the as
Segment.
Judge Noe at the present is
occupied with the City of De-
troit airport condemnation case.
Owners of y lesson Heath, rep
resented by attorney Erne
Goodman, of Detroit, infer by
their legal procedure that dis
elimination is being shown since
the new owners are Negroes. The
property was obtained from adj
ministrators of the William Nc
Intosh estate for the sum of
$4,000.
st. Clair Shores officials cite
as reasons for their action the
village ordinances permitting
them to grant or reject soft
drink licenses at the expressed
wishes of their constituents.
