The Homernaker's
Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

When American service men in
Australia began demanding and get
ting sweet corn and eating it with
relish, Australians themselves be-
gan trying it and found that they
also liked it.
The presence "down under" of
thousands of American service men,
plus food crisis resulting in severe
rationing, has brought about a
change in the Australians eating
habits that may carry through into
the postwar period, the Australian
News and Information Bureau re-
ports.
Before the war most Australian
tables groaned with food, though
not with what most Americans
would regard as good things. Their
pre-war diet consisted of heavy meat
roasts mutton taking first place.:
starch vegetables fried, or baked in
casseroles, boiled potatoes, and
heavy buildings.
Good fruits, although in abuRd
ance and inexpensive, were not
eaten enough Today, Australia's
fine fruits of all kinds are suddenly
being appreciated, since the Yanks
have introduced fruits and fruit
juices for breakfast 1t has taken
the present war to convince Aus
tralians that salads and lighter
meats, so popular with Americans,
are better suited to Australia's mild
climate than foods to which they
have been addicted Most Aus
tralians live in weather like that of
California or the American southern
states.
Poultry, pre-war luxury, is be-
coming a staple article of diet i'll
thousands of homes. Rabbits, once
referred to as underground NUT
ton, are now in great demand. Spa
ghetti a number of processed
cheeses, new ice cream recipes, varl-
Gus types of breakfast foods and
more attractive light salads are
among the dishes now becoming
popular with native Australians.
But no doubt many of our men
will return after the war with glow
ing stories about new dishes they
learned to like while down under

Grasshopper Is Enemy OF Victory Garden
BY DEAN HALLIDAY

PERHAPS 1t Is the small boy
or girl In them, but most Victory
gardeners are not particularly an
tagonistic to invading grasshop-
pers. Yet they should be, for the
grasshopper is an enemy Of the
Victory garden.
The grasshopper is a chewing
insect" It has a mouth equipped
with sharp jaws for biting of
pieces Of a plant, and 1t will eat
any green part Of almost any
plant, as illustrated in the accom-
panying Garden-Graph. In fact.
grasshoppers are 30 ravenous they
will strip the leaves from plants,
devour fruits and even bite Off the

Prior to this test, the Air Fore

ing insects, such as grasshoppers,
by the use OF stomach poisons.
When such poisons are placed on
the leaves Of plants to be pro-
tected, they make those leaves
unfit for insect fooG and any in
sects that eat them are killed.
The most common stomach poison
Is arsenate of lead with which
most Victory gardeners are IA

the eggs Of the grasshopper which

20MiIIion Denied Security

Twenty million of us-farmers and farm
workers, domestic employees of nonprofit enter
prises, many government employees, and those
who work for themselves-are left without this
protection as the law now stands.
What kind of security is it which leaves all
these people unprotected yet puts the high
salaried officials of large corporations in the
system, whether they need it or want it or not ?
Why should farm families be denied the
benefit of this system of old-age security?
Why should farm workers be denied secur-
ity? Why should domestic servants be ex-
cuded?
Why should those who work for themselves
be denied this security?
Why should large numbers of white collar
workers be excluded?
Because there are difficulties of admnstra-
ton? That is not good enough answer
In bringing about the necessary broadening
of old-age and survivors insurance, we will, of
course, meet with many problems. We will have
to adopt different methods of collecting the
social security tax in order to avoid a book
keeping burden upon small employers, family
type farmers or others we seek to protect
If we make up our minds that protection
against old age is something to which every
American is entitled, we shall find way to
reach that objective

Equal Chance for War Plants

The great industrial plants you have built
here in the West to produce for war must have
an equal opportunity to convert to peacetime
production with the industrial plants of the
East and the Middle West.
The workers in all our war plants where
ever located must have an equal opportunity
for peacetime jobs
Our people are thinking very much alike
upon the major questions of our day. More
over, they are approaching these questions in
a similar mood. They are searching for con-
structive answers to our problems.
They are keenly aware of the mistakes and
blunders of the past. They want to put those
mistakes and blunders behind.
They are not thinking in terms of the past.
They are thinking in terms of the future.
ISirst in the minds of all of us is the win
ming of the war. Every one is agreed that the
war can end only with the complete defeat of
Germany and Japan, right ip Germany and
Japan.
We want nothing short of total crushing
victory. That comes before everything else.
Then we want to get the men and women in
our armed forces back home as promptly as
possible.

Veterans Need Home Advice

But that is not all that needs to be done.
Every veteran should be able TO talk over his
plans with someone at home. There should bt(
someone who can tell him where to look for the
best possible job, how to go after the job, how
to continue his education if he wants to- There
should be someone to tell him where to find the
local. state or federal agency that can best help
him meet his problems. The state and the home
community can do this best because they alone
have an intimate understanding of the personal
problems involved
This is already being demonstrated in my
own State of New York. We are proud of the
effective work being done by our veterans COM
mission, headed by 1t. Gen. Hugh Drumm. It
takes our state service to the place where the
veteran lives where he is known, and where he
expects to work. Other states and communities
are doing similar job. am sure all others will.
Here is program to pick up and carry for
ward an American system of social progress.
The years 1945-1949, for which we are selecting
a new administration, will be largely peacetime
years But the pattern that will shape them is
a pattern that has been slowly forming through
the agonizing years of war.

Resolve for Better World

Out of the suffering of war there has
emerged high resolve in the minds of the
American people that the world we live in must
become better world.
To that end we must work together to in
crease the security of the individual against the
hazards of old age, of unemployment, of ill
health. We must work together to increase the
security of our society against the hazards OF,
mass unemployment, falling prices and periodic
depression But we must never forget that Sc
curity alone is only half of our goal. The other
half is freedom and opportunity Without these,
there can be no real security.
America became great because of the cour.
age and resourcefulness of her men and women.
America became great because in this country
there was unlimited opportunity 1t is for us
who have inherited America to keep her great

Must Assure Medical Service

Fourth-we must help to develop means
for assurance of medical service to those of ourt(
citizens who need it, and who cannot otherwise
obtain it. This is task that must be carried
out in cooperation with our medical men.
There can be no group better able to advise
on medical care than the medical profession.
Yet unhappily, this is the very group which the
New Deal has managed to alienate.-
Our free and independent medical profession
has advanced medical science in America ahead
of every other nation in the world It's freedom
has made it great. 1t should be encouraged, not
discouraged "
Let us enlist the leadership and aid of the
doctors of America in organizing our private
and public hospitals, as well as other services,
into fully effective system to protect the
health of all our people
Fifth--the states and the local communities
must be encouraged to establish the fullest in.
formation service for veterans.
When the veteran comes back to his home
town, he should be able to get prompt and ex-
pert counsel as to his rights and opportunities.
The G. l. Bill of Rights is a nonpartisan law. It
rightly recognizes service to veterans as part
of the cost of the war and as a national re-
sponsibifty.

Stronger Socia Progress Plan

1t is nothing new for Americans to be con-
cerned about social progress. Social progress
in America did not begin in 1888. 1t began
when the first settlers came to this continent.
It was in the blood of those who came to these
shores to found new kind of nation. It has
been and is insistent as the growth of our
country.
It is in our blood today
Let us look at one of our important social
laws today. Let us consider where we stand
and where we go from here.
In 1885, our Social Security Act was passed
by non-partisan vote of overwhelming pro-
portions. Just once in the nine years since
then has there been any attempt to improve
and extend that social progress That was in
1889 when few changes were made There
have been many recommendations since but
there have been no results.
Men and women everywhere are eager for
concrete definite proposals. They want to know
what we can do to bring about the better life
that we are seeking
Accordingly I propose that our program
for social progress be broadened and strength
ened, and that we move forthwith to do these
things:
Flrst-The Social Security Act should be
amended to provide old age and survivors
insurance for those who most desperately need
protection and are not now covered bv social
security or some other pension or retirement
system

found and moving refutation of the defeatist

old,age insurance and who stepped out of these
jobs to enter the service Of their country suffer
a gap in their old-age benefit credits.
Unless the law is changed their reward for
serving their country may be net reduction
and loss in their old-age or survivors benefit.
The law must be changed promptly to correct
this injustice.
Second-we must widen the provisions Of
unemployment insurance to include the groups
which are now unprotected.
Il Here again there will be problems, but they
can and will be solved
Third-the unemployment service, originally
handled by the states and taken over by the
federal government during the war, should be
returned to the states as soon as practicable.
After all, jobs are in the states, not in Wash
ington-we hope. The employment service must
be where employment is and in the hands Of
people who know local conditions.
Employment service and unemployment in
surance are clearly parts of one and the same
job. They ought to be handled in the same
office by the same administration. To provide
benefits without providing employment service
is to do less than half the job. After all, 1t is
another job a. man wants-and as soon as
possible.
