TIRES NEEDED TO MEET
GASOLINE INCREASE

UNLESS more tiers are made avail
able to American motorists coinci
dent with the increase in gasoline ra-
tions to A and B motorists, civilian
motor transportation will encounter
serious difficulties, if not actual
breakdown, this s4immer.
That statement was made by Will
liam Berry, Secretary of Keystone
Automobile Club, in emphasizing the
critical need of a speed-up in tire
production to keep pace with increas-
ed use of cars invited by the Gov
eminent through the substantial
boost in gasoline allowances.
Sat almost the same time as. OPA
and the Petroleum Administration
for War released the news that A gas
coupon values would be jumped 81
per cent on June % and B card mile.

great need for better understanding
of the Importance of dairy products,
if their maximum food value is to be
utilized.
OF the 42,110 farms in Maryland.

VARIED GROUPS TO FIGHT
FOREST FIRES

Hundreds of men, women and boys
whose occupations range from bank
ers to teachers and high school pupils
10 postal employees, are participating
this summer in forest fire fighting
activities in various sections of the
country, according to the Forest Ser
vice, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
Rural and star route mail carriers,
as they have for years, are again sup
)lementing the work of regular For
st Service guards by reporting fires
hey sight to the nearest State fire
warden or National Forest officer.
The postal men were included in the
operative fire prevention effort after
heir services were requested by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
Most widely known of the volun-
-eer groups aiding the Forest Service
ire the white collar amateur forest
ers of Portland, Ger, who will take
to the woods" May q after refresher
courses. These men and women, who
include bankers, teachers, clerks,
wives of service men and one minis
ter, will man certain forest guard
stations and lookout posts in the
Mount Hood, Siuslaw and Columbia
National Forests in southwestern
Washington. OF the total force of
$50, many will be serving their
fourt hhitch since the Forest Service
appealed for volunteers in 1912 to
replace manpower that had been
drawn into the armed forces.
Two community high schools of
Elizabethtown, ILL.,, will supply 65
volunteer husky high school boys as
fire fighters in the forests of that vi
cinity. The youthful would-be smoke
eaters weer required by the Forest
Ranger in charge to present letters
from their parents, granting permits
sion for this activity. In Oregon and
California, football coaches in sever :
al communities will take their high
scohol squads to the forests where
they will combine grid training witk
forest fire fighting and working on
forest trails and roads.
Commercial airline pilots will aid
fire detection, as will operators and
drivers of oil and gasoline trucks
whose routes take them into COM
munities in back woods regions.

LONG RANGE PLANNING OF
AGRICULTURE

Big question of the day is when
do we reconvert?" In TIE case of the
worlds basic industry, farming, it is
a question of conversion rather than
reconversion. What about converting
agriculture from the power animal to
the power machine? How about max
ing a twentieth century industry out
of one that in some respects is still
operating as it was in the Middle
Ages?
An Industrial leader who left his
busy factory in Detroit the other day
to talk to members of the Cleveland
Farmers Club gave his hearers a
challenging picture of postwar pos
sibilities. Roger M. Kyes, president
of Harry Ferguson, Inc. of Dearborn
and Detroit, manufacturers of mech
anized farm equipment, is an author
ity ON agriculture and economics.
Millions of farmers are still working
with hand labor methods CIR with
power animals, he declared, and just
as industry has become more and
more productive as the capital invest
ed to aid the worker has increased,
so should the same procedure be APP
piled to agriculture.
This would require investment of
forty billion dollars for soil conser-
walton, reforestation of waste farm
lands, reclamation, drainage, rural
roads, farm structures, rural electri-
ficcation, machinery and equipment
and the creation Of part time farms.
The program in its entirety would
require 100000 man-years of la
Dor, according to Kyes.
Agriculture, the basic industry,
upon which all other industry de-
ponds for most raw materials, is in
the rear ranks in the Parade of Pro-
gress. Let's get it up in front where
it belongs. Let's not be content mere
ly to continue hand labor methods.
Let's give the farm boys who became
fighters and who will return to the
farms, and to the millions working
alongside them on the farms the BEN
efits of modern, twentieth century
about "reconversion," as far as the
farm is concerned, and make it an
actual and steady conversion. Look
at these figures: From 1859 to 1887
the output of agricultural workers
increased at the rate 81 per cent per
year. while that of industry increas-
ed at an average rate of 80 per cent
per year. In otker words, industrial
workers increased their production
almost twice as much over that long
period.
A fraction of energy, "know-how"
and long range planning applied to
agriculture that has been and is be-
ing applied to industry will produce
marvels.
These are some of the facts pre-
scented and deductions made by Mr..
Kyes, who has vision.

s'The continuance of warfare Tin
Germany into the spring months
and the destruction of cities and rail
roads inevitably mean meagre har-
vest in prospect, and hunger, if not
famine, next winter" says the Amer
lean Friends Service Committee
which administers relief in Europe
on behalf of many churches. "Gener-
al Eisenhower's radio appeal to Ger
man farmers to stay by their fields
and grow as much food as possible
is an attempt to forestall an impend-
ing tragedy. Do what she may, Eur
ope cannot feed herself next winter
but depends largely on America for
help. Now is the time to reduce our
lavish rations and prepare the food
shipments which are essential If we
are to build peace based upon mu-
tual respect and appreciation.

SCHOOL LUNCHES

Here's news from Wilmington, Del
The War Foods Administration dis
covers that a balanced lunch has
been served daily in the schools of
that city since January, 1914. A rec
ord gain in weights in one grade of
Junior School there showed that
children who ate the school lunch
regularly gained an average of six
pounds; those who participated oc-
casionally gained on an average of
four pounds; those who never ate
the platter lunch gained only two
pounds ON the average. An official
report from Washington shows the
same splendid results in the States
of Missouri and New York.

TRUMAN AND HOOVER
BY j. Il. Jones

Washington, d. c., June 4-One of
tory was the ostracizing of Herbert
Hoover from the White House dur
ing the tenure OF his successor in
Office When President Hoover was
defeated, he promptly invited Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt to the White
House and it is public history that
he proposed to carry out the views of
Mr. Roosevelt through the remaining
weeks of his term of Office. But dur
ing all of Mr. Roosevelt's admins
trations, Herbert Hoover never re-
ceived any recognition due to for
mer head of the American Govern
ment.
There was no criticism of Mr.. Trll-
man in Washington when he invited
Herbert Hoover to the White House
to discuss the question of feeding the
children and people in the countries
that have been freed by the Allied
Forces. In fact, there was practically
unanimous approval voiced by all the
political leaders in the Nations Cap
ital.
No matter what the results may be
from that first visit of Mr.. Hoover to
his old dwelling in twelve years, it is
agreed that everyone is pleased to
realize that the only ex-President
and the only living President have
shown proper respect for the office of
President.

Ever since the Breton Woods Con-
ference there kas been never-ending
criticism that the funds proposed to
establish the new International Bank
would be drawn principally from the
United States Treasury. Notwith-
standing assurances to the contrary,
the best authorities believe that bill
lions of American dollars would be
used for loans to foreign govern
ments and used, to finance private
undertakings.

Lifting The Lid

Tremendous amounts of carbon
steel will be available in few weeks
for the manufacture of cars and rail-
road materials, street cars, trolley
coaches and buses.
Thirteen per cent more lumber
will be available for civilian pur-
poses. The lid will be lifted on farm
machinery on July 1, and that is one
of the best pieces of news in all the
steps of reconversion, because farm
ers have been undermining their
farms during recent years in replac-
ing the shovel, fork, hoe, and rake
with first-class tractors and other
necessary machinery. Then along
ccame the war and with it there dis
appeared the power of farm machin-
cry, as well as the man-power.
Mechanical refrigerators, sewing
machines, electric irons and washing
machines are also very much in de-
mand and tkere will be an increased
allowance
The official statements indicate
that it may take eight months for
producers to get under way to reach
efficient production of automobiles.
One responsible prediction is that ii
will take fifteen months before auto
mobile producers reach the pre- war
capacity of around six million autos
year.

The Shift In Employment

An official prediction by War Pro-

furnish jobs for war-workers and dis
