by the Germans last October, was
the headquarters for an estimated
$4,000 free Czech fighting troops.

Recreation Officials
Pleased by Projects
On Ten Fairgrounds

Officials of the District Recrea-
ton Board and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
have expressed great satisfaction"
at the condition of 10 new play
grounds constructed recently with
$207 900 allocated from Lanham Act
funds by the Federal Works Agency.
The officials toured the play
grounds yesterday. The grounds
have been in use since early in the
fall but had not been inspected be-
fore. Leaders of the group were
Thomas Settle, executive secretary
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission; Henry j.
Sullivan, regional director for FWA,
and Milo F. Christensen, recreation
superintendent.
The tour ended chapter in the
history of the Recreation Depart
ment that began two years ago with
an appropriation from FWA for
% such Fairgrounds. Fourteen OF
them, at a cost of $450,000, were
Constructed in 1943. The other Is,
however, were held up by a War
Production Board order designed to
conserve building equipment for
use on strictly war construction.
After successive pleas by the Rec
reation Department, the 10 play
grounds inspected yesterday were
allowed by WPB to be completed.
The remaining five have been elm
mated by WPB, Mr.. Christensen
said, on the ground they were not
near enough new housing develop
ments to justify construction in
wartime.
The grounds visited were: Powell,

that territorial changes could be
settled before the peace conferences
the secretary explained:
"Mr. Churchill was speaking from
memory and just made a slip. What
he attributed to the Atlantic Char
ter was actually in the British gov
ernment's statement of foreign pol
icy laid down in 1940 Later dur
ing yesterdays debate. Mr.. Eden
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
pointed out that Mr.. Churchill had
erred"
He added that the Prime Minis
ter had no prepared text for yes
terday's speech. He spoke from
notes and memory and the Prime
Minister made a slip"
Churchill Undisturbed.
If Mr.. Churchill was disturbed
over his lapse of memory" there
was no evidence of it tonight. Diplo-
matte quarters were of the opinion
that the Prime Minister considered
that Mr.. Eden had explained his
errc~ and that the whole thing would
be forgiven
At the same time a Downing
street spokesman said it was quite
possible" that the Prime Minister
would discuss the European politi-
cal situation in broadcast tomor-
row.
The spokesman said the plans
were still tentative and no hour hac
been fixed for the broadcast.
Although Mr.. Churchill's state.
ment was explained as a lapse OF
memory" a feeling grew in diplo.
matte quarters that perhaps some
changes may have been made in the
Atlantic Charter which have not yet
been disclosed
1t was recalled that the British
press and certain members of Par.
lament earlier this year suggested
revision of the charter in view o.
war developments.
Last April, the Secretary of Stats
Hull and Undersecretary Stettiniu,
made statements that there was s
growing concern on both sides o
the Atlantic for a new interpreta.
ton Of the charter.
When asked by the, Associated
Press for an explanation of ths
Churchill statement of yesterday, 9
secretary at No. 10 Downing stree
said:
Give me a quarter of an hour
I'll see what I can do"
Ten minutes later he telephonec
back to say Mr.. Churchill had JUS
made slip"
Statement Quoted.
Mr.. Churchill in his statement
before Commons said:
Our British principle has beer
enunciated that, as I have said al
territorial changes must await con.
ference at the peace table after vic.
tory has been won, but to that there
is an exception in principle, anc
that exception is changes mutually
agreed. 1t must not be forgotten
that in the Atlantic Charter is in.
serted an exception that there
should be no changes before tn.
peace table except those mutually
agreed"
Kenneth Pickthorn, Nationa
Conservative member, Immediately
challenged the point and asserted
that the Atlantic Charter contained
no such insertion, but that the
United Nations desired to see ne
territorial changes which did moi
accord with the freely expressed
wishes of the people concerned.

To do this, scientists say, you must

Thinning OF Fruit Recommended To
Prevent Damage To Tree Branches

per cluster. The fruits along a
limb which is heavily covered should
be thinned to one fruit every six or
eight inches of wood. A tree which
is reasonably vigorous in growth and
which is adequately supplied with
nitrogen and mulch material may
carry somewhat more fruits. On a
scientific basis, it is generally re-
commended that one fruit be left
for every quarter foot of leaf sur
face.
Plum trees will benefit from thin
ming in heavy crop years. The fruits
of the plum should be thinned to a
distance of about two to three
inches. Cherries are not thinned.
Apples which tend to set particular
ly heavy crops and require special
attention in thinning are Yellow
Transparent, Wealthy, Early McIn-
tosh and York Imperial. Among the
peaches, the Rochester, in particu-
lar, benefits from thinning.
Thinning can be accomplished to
some extent in the pruning process.
Peach trees should be pruned every
year. Apple trees should receive at
tention at least every two years. The
annual pruning of grapes, raspber-
ries, blackberries, and others of the
brambles usually takes care of the
thinning requirements.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1944-05-18
By N. F. Chiiders,
Department of Horticulture,
Ohio State University

If the present trend in weather
continues, most back yard fruit trees
should carry heavy crop this year,
and the trees will tend to "bite off
more than they can chew. AS a re-
suit, the fruits will run small in size
and some limbs which are carrying
a particularly heavy load of fruit are
likely to split and destroy large
portion of the tree. A tree which
carries a heavy load of fruit one
year may be so weakened that it sets
only light crop the following year.
These difficulties can be avoided by
spending one-half to one hour per
tree thinning the fruits. This is
done by using the thumb and fore
finger and pushing the fruit to the
side of the limb. A popular method
for thinning peaches, which may
serve as well for apples, is to use
two broomsticks cut to lengths of
"a to 40 inches. Pieces of old rub
Der hose are pulled over the ends;
and from one position in the tree,
the operator can knock off fruits
within his reach.
For apples and peaches, the clus-
ters of two to four fruits should be
broken first, leaving only one fruit

Blufft0n Fishermen Are Out For
Crappies AS Bass Season Closes

With bass season closed, Bluffton
anglers are fishing for crappies.
Good catches of both white and
black crappies may be expected this
spring and because of the schooling
habits of these fish they will be
caught more readily and in larger
quantities than any other Ohio fish.
Most anglers prefer small minnows
as bait. Standard equipment is a
long cane pole, a line of the same
length or slightly longer, a No. 6
hook, small lead sinker and the
smallest, lightest bobber available.
The best crappie fishing is where
you can find the schools, or where
someone else finds them.
An hour or two under these con-
ditions is enough time to catch the
limit of 20 crappies per fisherman.
Here's how to fish: Put out two
cane poles with not more than two
hooks on each, baited with small,
lively minnows. Set the bobber two
or three feet above the hook. When
the bobber trembles and plunges out
of sight, lift the pole quickly. 1t is
usually the sign that you have To-
Gated a school Of the fish.
The limit of 20 crappies is a lot
of fish to clean and the task is no,
an easy one at best. Two men car
clean 40 fish almost as quickly al
one man can clean 20. One scale.
the fish while the other performs tn,
surgical task. The little three-cor
nered fish scaler is best. When the
first man has removed the scales, tht
second man lays the fish on its side
on a board.
A hunting knife is best for this
part of the cleaning. It should have
very keen edge and sharp point
Insert the point of the blade at the
