brings his own pickin's. Here are
some recently reported party trends
that should help you plan your next
rat race.
Sock 'em-Don't ask us why, but
Sock Dances are very popular. Ev-
erybody takes off his and her shoes
and the idea is to dance in your
socks. Couch, that guy must be an
Eskimo; he dances as if he had
snowshoes onD
On the Square-Summer's the
time for square dancing-so get the
gang together and buy an album of
square-dance music. Get some local
old-timer to teach you how to do
this rural jitterbugging and you're
all set for a strenuous evening.
Yo-Yo Contests-We reported a
few weeks ago that the Yo-Yo fad
was sweeping high school campuses.
Well, now we hear that Yo-Yo con.
tests are the hit of teen-age par
ties. You'll fool so feelish, but you'll
have fun!
Hey, Sucker! - Make your own
suckers for the next party with a
package of powdered fruit drink.
Add water and sugar, according to
the directions on the package, and
pour the mixture into your ice cube

Eight East Coast States Organize for Recruiting
Harvest Hands to Save Fruit and Vegetable Crops

Eight states have entered into an
agreement involving the recruitment
and movement of workers to meet
labor needs of food producing and
processing industries along the At
lantic seaboard. Cooperating with
the states are the War Manpower
commission and the extension serv-
ice of the U. S. department of agri-
culture.
Delaware, Florida, Maryland,
New Jersey. North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Pennsylva-
MIA were the states taking the action,
made necessary by a scarcity Of
approximately $4,000 agricultural
workers and factory workers for
processing perishable agricultural
products, the Council of State Gov
ernments reports.
The program already has been put
into effect, as the harvesting and
processing season is at its peak in
New Jersey, Delaware and Mary.

pretty stunning effects too, you may
be sure. But if the idea of such
colors for such furniture sounds
over-stimulating for the kind of sum-
mer days you have in mind, you
might at least consider accents of
such brightness for the cushions
and tablecloths for your hours in the
sun.
AS for how-the best advice here
is to use the best quality of paint
made for the purpose reliable
paint store will have the proper
kind. The reason the best quality
of paint is must here is that
whether the furniture is really for
outdoors or just for the porch-it
is subject to much more weathering
than anything meant for indoor use.
A cheap paint job will powder off
on peoples clothes.
If it's metal furniture that you're
worrying about, rust treatment is
a good Interpretations for this
are also sold in most paint stores.

region, will run through October.
Crops to be picked and processed
include beans, cherries, peaches, to-
matoes, citrus fruits, etc.-80 per
cent of which are assigned to the
armed forces and lend-lease.
The agreement was worked out at
a conference in Raleigh, N. c., in
May attended by representatives of
the states, the VINO and the ex-
tension service. Since then, admin
istrative and other procedures have
been worked out.
All interstate recruitment will be
done by or under direction of either
the u. S. employment service (for
processing labor) or the extension
service for field labor) after prop
er clearance through the governor
office. No worker will be trans
ferred from an area where he is
engaged, or about to be engaged, in
essential work.
