other evening-on a magic carpet of nnake-be
heve
They donned shorts or slacks, bathing
suits or pith helmets, and basked on a sandy
beach, under ultraviolet rays, against bril-
liant background of tropical birds and foliage.
The fact that the sand arrived in a truck,
the ultra violet from sun lamp and that the
birds and foliage were only a painted back
drop detracted not at all from the evenings
enjoyment.
This, as you know by now, was party of
people who would like to 90 TO Florida" but
have decided instead to put their travel money
into war bonds and make available to service
men and their families the train space re-
quired for southern travel.

Lunch time, during most Of your
baby's infancy is going to be the
most interesting meal. New foods
are introduced first at the luncheon
meal. Even cereals are given first
at noon-or the feeding near mid
day. Later, when strained vege-
tables and egg yolks are put into
the luncheon menu, then the cereal
is moved to breakfast and often
given at the evening meal as well.
Each new food is introduced in
very small servings. If he accepts
the new food with it's different tex
ture and flavor and appearance,
well and good. But don't give him
very much even though he may be
willing to take more. After a few
days is soon enough to increase the
servings a little at a time. W
If he refuses any new food Of
fered him, say nothing and remove
the offending food. If no unpleas-
ant associations are established in
connection with any food, he prob
ably will take it without question
on the second or third trial.
Children of all ages resent be-
ing forced or urged or coaxed to
eat. Most adults have the same re-
action. A serving which is too
small becomes more desirable.
Babies, like the rest of us, know
when they have had enough and
like the rest Of US, vary in the
amounts they eat.
Lunch time is the time to learn
to drink from a cup and when the
first strained fruit or custard is
given.

Farm Employment
Down go in South .

Largely because of heavy rain:
and a smaller cotton crop, there
were $50 900 fewer workers EN-
ployed on farms in the South or
October l than a year ago, the U
S. Department of Agriculture re-
ports.
Farm wages in this region, al
though normally low, we're sligh,-
" higher on October ! than a year
ago. However, because a larger
number of hired workers are EN-.
ployed in this low area during the
fall than during the summer, the
national average of farm wages
was somewhat less than on July l
Rain brought field work to {
standstill in parts of Arkansas
Oklahoma. and Texas during th'
early part Of the month. Even tbs
Sixth National Cotton Picking Con.
test. scheduled to be held at BLY, thu
Vile. Ark. on october 3, was post.
noned until the 25th. And becaus,
this years cotton crop is nearly
$50, 900 bales smaller than the 1914
crop, fewer pickers are required
This also accounts in part for tht
decline in farm employment in tht
South.
The total labor force employed II
the South numbered 6,075, 900 work.
RS. including 1880. 900 hired hands
This was a decrease Of $50. 900 OIL

sweet potatoes, tobacco. corn and
corghums. Cotton picking was
nearing completion in southern
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
However. farther north in these
states, picking was in full progress
and in Tennessee where the crop
was late. picking was just beginn-
ing on October /
With shipping improved during
the last several months, the United
States exported eighty over two
million bales of cotton during the
1944-45 season. This is, the larg.
est quantity Of cotton exported
since the 1939-40 season. 1t is
pointed out. however. that exports
would not be so high were it not
for the fact that the export pay
ment makes it possible for Americ-
an cottos to be sold abroad at COM
petitive world prices. The United
Kingdom. Canada, and Belgium
were the largest buyers of Ame-i-
can cotton.
~Interesting in the cotton picture
is the recently ~anuounccd diversion
program for using cotton in the
manufacture of paper. The Depart
-ment of Agriculture points out
that the program is designed to
% develop new uses for cotton;
(2) help reduce the large surplus
stocks of short staple. low grade
cotton; CD furnish additional crit
ically needed raw material for max
ing high grade paper; and (4) aid
in providing warehouse space for
the new cotton crop.

Feeding pigeons in the central green has become daily diversion for several local persons, who have de- veloped a rather "chummy' acquaintance With the birds We going to say pets but there seems to be two schools of thought that subject From one source we are informed that they are pestiferous as the starngs and should be eliminated by the police de- partments dawn squad which once upon time took de- light blasting away at the myrads of eathered lodgers that nightly blackened the tree tops There were pro- tests over the slaughter, but no definite action taken Came and the birds disappeared tempor- arily The pigeons apparently still have with us Tor an indefinite period Numerically they are growing to great proportions. They also waxing fat on the varied diet of decacies fed them. Youngsters get thrill out of feeding them. It has also been noticed that certain adults made it daily practice to visit the Green at an appointed hour daily and become so acquainted with the birds that they feed from ther hands One of the many admirers of the pigeons is Miss Margaret Nesbett of North Main street. As she ap- breaches the Green the pigeons apparently on sigma! ny to greet her. They perch her arms and shoulders They flock about her feet and feed hungry Of the tte sweets she brings them Reminds me of postal cards of the pigeons Rome says the chap whose traveng experiences are limited to 'scnc views. What the pigeons remind the superntendens of nearby buildings who lay nights thinking up schemes to declmate the little pests make them the chief contribution to a pot pie or something It's all how you come to LOOK on the little feathered friends.

English Food
 Badly Abused
By BEVERLY PHILLIPS

Boston, Jan. 24 - (U.P) War has made the American soldiers palate more cosmopolitan, Dr. Dawn Nelson Wallace, head of Miss Farmers School of Cookery, said today.
 "When our soldiers come march, ing home, they're still going to want mothers cooking" pr. Wallace told the United Press in an interview, but they're going to want home cooking spiced with the exotic touches they've learned to enjoy on furloughs in Europe and the Orient A native of Houlton, Me, and veteran educator, pr. Wallace urged American women to follow their sons taste in foreign food. She said broadening the American cuisine, popping up your Yankee cooking, should be regarded with favor, since all nations have evolved their own special, delicious dishes.
 We shall do more cooking with wines, possibly with brandieS and liqueurs," she added. And the do- mestic use of wine may have tend ency to lessen the Americans no- torious drinking habits
 In Dr. Wallace's opinion, 1t would be well for American housewives to sprinkle their soups with grated cheese in the Italian fashion. "Ital- ians never miss an opportunity to use cheese" she said, and besides, its wonderful flavor, cheese has a doRvoita nutrition uo Ina
 Despite the abuse English food has taken from gourments and sol- diers alike, Dr. Wallace said Tanks returning from Great Britain will want baked plaice a L'Anglais" often for Friday night supper. There's been an increased in terest in cooking by young women" she confided. Our attendance is up 100 per cent over last year. The new students are mostly war brides or girls engaged to soldiers. They get letters from their soldiers describ- the food they're tasting now or the home-cooked meals they're dream ing about, so the girls take the hint"
 She also revealed that her school has been accepted as an establish ment where returning veterans might study under the CT bill of rights. She expects a substantial in- crease in men students after the war who have learned on the battlefield that cooking isn't only woman's business.
 Many people ask for 8 menu to serve their husbands or sons at that important first meal home" Dr. Wallace remarked. Just remember your mans favorite meal and serve 1t to him, plenty of meat, fruit and all the desserts you have the strength to cook. And milk, whole quart of milk. The boys dream about it."

Picking official greeters" is an annual custom at Miami Beach. Eileen Knapp is typical of the beauty queens chosen for this
 pleasant task.
 Having no place to lose their money, visitors are spending some of 1t. With no open air gambling ca- sinos at which to whack themselves cut tourists and vacationists are taking in floor show now and then.
 The circulation of the Miami Daily News has climbed until 1t has practically hit Its ceiling.
 The hardest hit by government edicts are Miami Beach hotels and night spots which popped up all over t he place when Florida announced it's To-day and long est racing schedule and every thing pointed to an old-fashioned gay, giddy and golden winter.
 Hotel rates on the Beach were sky high until cancellations poured in with the end of racing. It was the fast and fashionable Hialeah crowd which supported the better hostelries on the strand. A canvass of 50 hotels winds 45 taking resera- tionS. That wasn't the case three weeks ago. If you telegraph Mi- ami Beach hotel now, you are quite likely to be adised to come on down. .. .

Lsolationisn1! Current Issue of Word Implies "Pro Nazism" or ''Traitor" - New York Mirror Intimates Isolationism Is Making Uncle Sam Sugar Daddy" for Entire World.

Isolationist is today being used by the internationalists and anti-na- tionalists in America with such studied venom that 1t is plainly meant to convey to the minimizing traitor" or "pro-Nazism."
 The statement is also made, some times outright and sometimes by inference, by the internationalists and anti-nationalists that the United States has always been an isolated" nation, that it's people and it's leaders have lived physically and mentally walled up like the Japanese and Chinese before they came into contact with western civ- iliZation.
 Constant reiteration on the radio and in the public prints of these preposterous assertions has no doubt made an impression on the gullible and on those millions of Americans who are not history minded.
 Even President Roosevelt has, we fear, been influenced by these sin lster radicals and internationalists who smear as "isolationists" all Americans who believe in COOPER ALTON with other nations but who do not believe in Submerging our Identity in the mish-mash of vast International World-State in which our sons may be asked to police the snow-peaks of Thibet or die because of a boundary dispute between Gazeh and Gazah.
 In his inaugural address MT. Roosevelt gave utterance to these curious sentences:
 To-day in this year of war, 1945, we have learned lessonS-at fear full cost-and we shall profit by them.
 We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; tat our own we'll being is dependent on the we'll being of other nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostricheS nor as dogs In the manager.
 We have learned to be citizens of the world. members of the human community"
 Now, when, MT. President, have we Americans ever lived like "os- triches" or "dogs in the manger?"
 Just when did Americans cease to live "as men?"
 Can 1t be true that we learned to be members of the human com munity" only since 1883?
