Fresh Lettuce
byPIane is
Postwar Project

LOS ANGELES - U.p) -
Transportation of lettuce from
California to the nations mark
cts by giant airliners is one of
the possibilities aviation leaders
are considering for use of tre-
mendous wartime production of
four-motored planes.
So much attention has been
given to the likelihood of using
postwar air cargo planes-com-
mercial version of the present
warplanes-for transcontinental
vegetable shipments that the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has entered the picture.
This summer u. S. Agricul-
ture technicians are flying
across the country in Transcon-
tinental and Western Air, Inc,
planes to study weather condi-
tons and their effects on the
vegetables.
First to make such a trip was
DR.. r. w. Hooker, chief of the
Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les fruit and vegetable market
ing section, who studied the eff
fects of air transportation on
lettuce.
The results, he disclosed,
were promising. Part of the first
shipment was taken to WASH
ington for laboratory study. The
remainder was placed on sale in
unadvertised stores to test buy
ing appeal. The lettuce was sold
about 80 per cent above normal
consumer prices to represent
the added expense of air trans
portation and it was labeled as
air-flown.
Because lettuce Is perishable
and normally requires careful
packing and icing. many avia--
ton and agricultural experts
view this vegetable as a prime
postwar air-cargo possibility.
They forsee overnight air trans
portation as eliminating this
cost, preserving the outside
leaves, where the vitamin con-
tent is highest, and thus deliv-
ering a much sought food in the
most attractive beneficial con-
dition.
The plan assumes that post
war air cargo rates will be far
below those of today belief
in which many aircraft leaders
concur.

deep enthusiasm which Is the
hallmark of a real collector.
Chief among her collection of
decanters, goblets, tumblers,

Her thousand-eye spoon

gem and, which Is most
interesting, practically all her
glassware collection items have
history connecting them
with the older days Of Mount
Clemens and Mac0mb County
and even of La Belle France!
In discussing briefly the his
tory of glassware in Macomb
County, Miss Tucker points out
that so few people know that
long before the Civil War was
fought, a glass factory stood at
the point where the Sprudel Wa
ter plant is now located.
Glass making by hand is close
to being a lost art, dut to mass
production methods of industry.

today, ending a wieldcat strike
which high union officials said was

and prevent another major shut
down of seven Chrysler plants, 1000
truck drivers at AZ bakeries refused
to heed a War Labor Board return
to-work order, Fastening closure OF
some Detroit restaurants and lunch
rooms. Five-day-o old stocks Of bread
disappeared from grocery shelves,
and merchants and home bakeries
resorted to rationing one loaf to a
customer.
The motion to end the Chryslel
strike was made by William Jen-

who urged the members to put the

Picket lines were disbanded and

UNLESS these acts are stopped,

Control Poison Ivy

The fight against poison ivy Is
rather difilcult since most tolks are
fearful of coming in contact with
this vine. At this time the young
growth Of poison ivy is most tender
and subject to easy injury, thus rip-
turing the canals and releasing the
resinous sap which, when coming
into direct contact with your skin,
causes a painful poisoning. THIS
resinous sap is non-yolatile and
that means that 1t cannot be car
ried about by the air.
