LoAFERs AND HoARDERs

The Mead Committee has made pub
lie glaring examples of loafing on the
job and labor boarding.
Stories of similar nature from
unofficial sources have long been
common knowledge. Private citizens
can recount from their own expert
ence, disgraceful examples of DELHI
crate loafing on war jobs. Many con-
scientious DIRECTORS have quit war
jobs because they couldn't stand the
waste of time they were required to
endure.
The answer to criticism of labor
loafing and labor boarding is always:
1--WE have produced the goods" That
may be true, but at what a price!
How much more could have been pro-
duced otherwise! We have now
reached the point where both money
and man-hours are growing scarcer.

Red Gross Faces Greatest
Task i'm Fourth, War Year

WASHINGTON, D. c. Facing the
greatest task in its history in serving
American fighting men on advancing
war fronts overseas, their families at
home, their buddies returning to the
United States after discharge, and the
American people in emergencies on the
home front, the American Red Cross
will launch it's third War Fund cam
paign March 1.
That the American people will re-
spond with overwhelming generosity
to the appeal for $2O0000,00O to carry
on this worldwide program is already
indicated in the nationwide determina-
ton to meet all it's war needs and to
bring the five-year struggle to an early
and successful conclusion.
In every invasion during the past
year, Chairman Basil O'Connor of the
American Red Cross said, Red Cross
workers have either gone with the
troops, or have followed within very
short time. Red Cross field directors
were with General Eisenhowers men
in the great amphibious invasion of
France, and with General MacArthur's
forces when they returned to the Phil
ippines.
Ten thousand men and women wear
the Red Cross uniform overseas, serv-
ing in every theatre of war and with
every command. They work in leave
clubs, clubmobiles, rest houses, hospi-
tails. Red Cross men attached to fight
ing units are with those outfits even
in actual combat. Red Cross girls dis
pense snacks at air fields, along truck
ing supply routes, behind front areas
and in liberated cities.
Many, both men and women, are on
duty at scores of isolated outposts
throughout the world, and give aid to
wounded men in hospitals and on hos
pital ships, planes and trains. Away
from the battle areas, thousands more
serve at military and naval installa-
tons within the United States.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-02-16

Red Cross service on the home front
has expanded with the ever-increasing
demand upon it, Mr.. O'Connor said. In
addition to collecting more than ten
million pints of blood for plasma since
the beginning of the war, the Red
Cross has met requests of the Army
and Navy for whole blood shipments to
European and Pacific battle areas Ten
centers on the East and West coasts
already participate in the collection of
Type o whole blood, while others stand
ready to join in that program as mill
tary needs warrant.
At four packaging centers, manned
by volunteer workers, more than TO-
100000 food parcels have been turned
out in steady stream for shipment to
prisoners of war and civilian internees
in Germany and the Far East. Surgical
dressings-775,O 100000 of them-were
prepared in the past year alone for
front line and hospital use. Production
workers in hundreds of communities
have continued the never ceasing pro-
gram of making warm garments for
destitute civilians in war-torn countries
overseas, and in those countries the
Red Cross has assisted the Army in
caring for refugees and homeless peo-
pie.
Nor has it's service to the armed
forces on global scale caused any
relaxation on the part of the Red Cross
to carry out it's traditional service to
the American people in time of disas-
ter. More than 200 domestic disasters
floods, high winds and fires-have
found Red Cross workers on the job to
relieve stricken families and to aid in
the rebuilding of communities.
"The need for Red Cross services in
the. coming year will be greater than
ever before" Mr.. O'Connor said. "In
fulfilling the Red Cross appeal for
$2OO,OO0,0O0, the American people will
indicate its wholehearted backing of
men in the front lines"

GOOD JUICE In SMALL
ORANGES

If orange buyers ever convince
themselves on the facts of quality in
orange juice and are willing to pay
accordingly, there is likely to be
leveling off of orange prices. Judged
by quality of juice, lower prices for
some big oranges that now sell at
premium and higher prices for small
oranges now discounted on the mar
ket, would fit the facts.
This is the test tube and taste test
verdict reached by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture studies. On a
quality basis, the juice from the
smaller oranges averages better in
flavor or taste. 1t is also richer and
sweeter-has more solids. And the
vitamin c value of the juice averages
higher than from the larger fruit.
This is the result reported by r. ].
Winston of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, Soils, and Agricultural Engi-
neering from samplings of oranges
ready to go to markets at all parts of
the marketing season. 1t confirms
several earlier studies of orange quail
ity by other scientists.

DIG WHEN THE DIGGING is GOOD

Dates for first garden paintings
vary widely-from February to May
between the southern and northern
limits of the United States, but Vic
tory Garden Headquarters at the u.
s. Department of Agriculture points
out that there is uniform rule that
applies everywhere as to the right
time to do the first spading:
Spade at least part of the garden
just as early as the soil is fit to work.
Spade enough garden space to al
low for the early paintings of rad
ishes, lettuce and onions-and spin
ach and early pease if either or both
of these crops are in the garden plan.
The first safe planting date may
not come until April. But there may
be balmy stretch of drying weather
in March to take frost out of the and
put it into condition SO that hand
full will crumble between the fingers.
If so, a gardener can we'll get out the
spade or spading fork and turn over
soil enough for few rows, and get
it ready for the early paintings.
When the safe planting date comes,
theere may be days-or even weeks
of wet weather But this need not
delay planting if the soil has been
prepared in advance.
These early spring crops are fairly
hardy and can stand considerable
cold weather. They can be planted
month or more in advance of the day
when frosts are no longer probable.
Local knowledge and experience sets
the day for planting. Everywhere,
these are crops that are first to yield
welcome additions to the spring
table. Everywhere they are the crops
tEat fail rapidly when hot weather
strikes.
Planted early enough, these spring
vegetables prove highly satisfactory
and after the early rows have
borne crop the ground can be clear
ed and replanted. But if planting is
long delayed, these early crops may
be hardly worth planting at all in
most gardening areas. To be sure of
satisfactory paintings, it is good gar
dening to spade as early as the soil
is fit to spade and so avoid taking
chances on wet weather delays.

HOME

N. M. Dellinger, Cherryville, N. c.
The home is the fountain of civili-
cation Our laws are made in the
home. The things. said there give bias
to character far more than do SER
mons and lectures, newspapers and
books. No other audiences are as sus-
ceptible and receptive as those gath
cred about TIE table and Preside. No
other teachers have the acknowledge
ed and divine right to instruct that is
granted without challenge to parents.
The foundation of our national life
is under their hands; the influences
of home perpetuate themselves. The
gentle graces of the mother live in
the daughter long after her head is
pillowed in the dust of death, and tie
fatherly kindness finds its echoes in
the nobility and character of sons
who come to wear the fathers mantle
and fill his place.
The homes circle is the nursery
of affection; it is the Eden of young
attachments, and here should be
planted and tended all the germs of
love, every seed that shall ever
sprout in the heart-and how care
fully should they be tended, how
guarded against the frosts of jeal-
ousy, anger, pride, vanity. We cannot
konor with too deep reverence the
home affections; we cannot cultivate
them with too great a care; we can
not cherish them with too much soli-
citude. There is the center of our
present happiness; there are the
springs of our deepest and strongest
tides of joy. Tke home should be
dedicated to love and truth, to all
that is tender in feeling and noble
and pure in thought.

WELFARE DEPARTMENT
APPROPRIATION

The State appropriated $3,823;364
more than was necessary for the
Welfare Department during the last
four years, according to figures re-
ported by the State Comptroller. Now
the General Assembly is asked to give
the Department $433,000 and $462,-
900 for 1916 and 1947, more tLan it
actually spent in 1914. These latter
figures appear in the proposed State
Budget and apply only to the States
share of the Welfare costs. In addi-
ton, the 1913 Legislature created a
yearly half million dollar fund to
protect any department from emer-
gencies.
In 1941, the excess of appropria-
ton over what was actually spent
amounted to $792,379 In 1912 the
excess was 1851, 494; in 1913, ST.
83O,720; and in 1914, $618,770.
The Budget now before tie Legis-
lature shows that $3,85O,664 of gen.
eral funds was appropriated for We'll
fare use in 1914, and of this amount,
only $3,233,574 was needed. The
Welfare Department asked $685.
100 for 1916 and $3,71S,535 for
1947; the Governor recommended
S3,666,5S6 for 1916 and $3,695,731
for 1947.
If the General Assembly votes even
the reduced appropriations recon-
mended by the Governor, the Depart
ment of Welfare will again receive
nearly half a million dollars year
more ttan it actually needed in 1914.
