Home Gardener

First comes the HON
gardener who demands corn
both very early and very late IN
the gardening season and who
seeks fine quality since he eats
what he grows. He has the adj
vantage Of being able to pick
exactly what he wants 10 50
can harvest each ear at its
peak of perfection
For him. Mr.. McCabe's per
sonal recommendations are
three-fold: Golden Bant a m,
Ferry'S Golden (which used TO
be called CharlevoiX but was
renamed because nobody out
side of Michigan could pro-
nounce its name), or G. o ] d
Cross Bantam.
The disadvantage OF Golden
Bantam, according TO Mr.. Nc
Cabe. is that this variety Is at
its maximum sugar content for
only about three hours so If
you don't happen TO pick IL
then, you don't get il AT its best.
Ferry'S Golden is even better
in quality than Bantam. stays
in good condition longer in the
field. Golden Cross Bantam is
Mr.. McCabe's idea of the best
corn available AT the moment.

Alexandrians Discuss
Plans for Disposition
OF j. ). War Housinq
Mayor Elected Choirmun
Of Group to Ask Voice
In Postwar Demolition

The first step in organizing a
council for planning postwar hous-
ing was taken in Alexandria last
night at meeting of the City Co-n-
Gil with members of the Planning
Commission, the Alexandria Hous-
Ing Authority and the War Housing
Center Advisory Committee.
Mayor William T. Wilkins was
elected chairman of the group, which
met to work out a plan to present
to Federal authorities on disposition
.of defense housing at the conclu-
sion of the war
City Manager Carl Budwesky told
the meeting that with legislation
imminent communities should re-
sist any arrangement that would
leave the entire matter in the hands
of Federal agency.
Want Voice After War.
He said communities were help
less when the housing was con-
structed under the Second War Pow
ers-Act in disregard of all local
planning, zoning and building laws
and in view of the fact that local
communities have serviced the prof.
ectss during the war, it is not un-
reasonable for them to ask for some
voice in their eventual disposition.
He added, however, that it is un.
reasonable to suppose that the Gov.
ernment would consider any reques
for immediate demolition of all wal
housing and that the best results car
be obtained if the community pre-.
sents broad plan to Federal au.
thorities before legislation can bt
enacted which would rob the com.
munities of the right to have any
say In the matter.
Members of all groups present
agreed that local groups should have
some authority in the disposition OF
the housing, especially that built in
disregard of local laws
Richard Offers Resolution.
Glenn Richard. member of the
Alexandria Housing Authority and
of the War Housing Center Advis-
ory Committee, presented some of
the results of a study he had made
on the subject, together with a pro-
posed resolution to the effect that
the disposition of war housing is a
matter for local determination. He
asked that the resolution be adopted
and sent to the proper Federal and
State authorities.
He said cities as a whole have
done very little about the matter
and that Alexandria can set a pat
tern which other communities can
follow in setting up a housing and
planning council and making known
its desires to the Government.
Mayor Wilkins expressed belief
| that the resolution needed study by
the group involved before its adop-
ton, and suggested recessing the
meeting until Tuesday, before
which time committees from each
of the four groups will study the
resolution to report back to the
meeting.
