Plan Your Victory Garden Now To
Save Needless Work Later In Season

Plans should be formulated for the
entire season and should include such
considerations as the size of the
garden; its location; soil prepara-
ton; choice of crops; planting and
maintenance; and provisions for
handling the produce.
The size of the garden will, of
course, depend upon the size of the
family. 1t should be the aim of
every victory garden to produce, as
nearly as possible, a quantity of
vegetables sufficient to meet the

In memory of my husband, Isaac
Brobeck who passed away April II,
1943.
'Tis strange but when my husband
was here
In life to walk with me,
Not always could / hold him near
Absent he'd often be.
A mile a-far was full mile
A month awayId feel.
Then absence, short or long the while
Was always very real.
But now the tasks of life are Ger
And he has left me here
Though he may walk with me no more
I have him always near.
Now that he lives in memory
He's never far away
I've but to think of him and he
Is with me night or day.

Name Cast For II.
S. Senior Play

"Jane Eyre" romatic play in
three acts, will be presented by the
senior class under the direction of
Mr.. Stauffer. 1t will be given the
nights of May 18th and 10Th.
Charlotte Bronte, in her book
"Jane Eyre" has created character
with all the charm, graces and
virtues that any young lady could
ever hope to aspire to. Jane, as an
orphan girl, wins the heart of her
employer through her simple and
unadulterated charm.
The play opens with Adele Varens,
Rochester's adopted daughter, await
ing the arrival of her new governess,
Miss Eyre. After being at Thorn
field Hall for while, Jane wins the
affection of everyone there, from
Mrs. Fairfax, the house keeper, to
Grace Pool, a servant. But behind
all this supposed contentment fore
boding hovers over the household at
all times. In the West Wing is
kept a mystery and often wild in
human sounds emerge from that
direction.
Lady Blanche, a cold arrogant
person, and her mother, Lady In
gram, plot for Blanche to marry
Rochester for his money. Blanche,
her mother, her sister Mary, DR..
Carter, and Sir Wilfred Lynn are
invited to party at Thornfield Hall.
While there, Zita, an old gypsy, re-
veals the scheme between Blanche
and her mother.
In the meantime, the mystery of
the West Wing is discovered and
Jane leaves the house. Shortly after
ward, the mansion catches fire and
Rochester loses his sight in the
| turmoil.
Over a year passes since Jane left
| Thornfield Hall and Rochester has
slowly become an old man despite
| his thirty-five years. 1t seems that
Jane, about to take critical step
is deferred by piercing cry arising,
mentally, from her loved one, miles
away. She determines to see him
for one last time. After seeing him
in the condition he is, she decides
to remain with him and nurse him
/ back to health.
The cast that has thus far been
| chosen is as follows:

Urges Public
be Given Jill
Information

Curb threatened government
control of the petroleum industry
through more adequate exchange
of information between manage
nent and the millions of other par
Elephants In the oil business.
This was the message given
Cleveland Oil Mems club members
recently by Warren C. Platt, pub
Usher of the National Petroleum
News, who stressed the point that
rugged fighting spirit. once dis
played by pioneer oilmen must
show itself In the battle to avert
government monopoly.
Zone suIre-fire way to prevent
threatened government control of
the industry is for management to
give the facts to the real owners
of the industry" Plat said. These
owners are not capitalists but are
millions of stockholders farmers,
mechanics, stenographers - who
really make the industry.
eff these stockholders and en-
ployes are properly informed by
the management as TO the threat
ened encroachment by government
on their stake In the oil business,
their combined effort should pre-
vent it."
The publisher pointed out that
once before the oil industry was
endangered during the early days
of the independents, starting in
Cleveland. Upon formation of the
National Petroleum association, the
petroleum pioneers opened a fight
for lower freight rates. The battle
was hard fought, but finally forced
the government to bring the dis
solution suit which in 1912 broke
down the monopoly.

WASHINGTON-Total passenger
car tires available for rationing this
year will fall 5000, 900 to 10000, 900
short of the 10000, 900 estimated as
necessary, Rubber Director Bradley
Dewey revealed.
He said rationing restrictions viii
remain "as is" at least until July /.
Failure to reach the 10000 900
goal was laid by Mr.. Dewey to
heavier than anticipated military
needs rather than to any upset of
the rubber program. He denied that
the drop in tires for rationing can
be blamed on failure in quality of
the synthetic product and said the
synthetic program turned out the
scheduled estimated number of tires
during the last quarter of 1913.
