AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS

Lack of space has prevented an
earlier report on the Home Fur
nishing Consulting Schools held
during the month at three points
in the county.
On April 10 twenty homemakers
gathered at the home of Mrs.
Louis Lancaster at Clarksburg, to
consult on changes one could make
in home to make it more nearly
fit the family needs. Miss Flor
ence Mason, Home Furnishing
Specialist of the University of
Maryland and the Home Demon
stration Agent were in charge. At
1880 the 20 homemakers intro
duced themselves, telling a little
about their family and here they
came from originally as part of
the get-acquainted ice-breaker.
From then on the whole group was
united. Mrs. Lancaster presented
problems in her home upon which
she wished advice. Miss Mason
presented trends in housing and
furnishings, and then the group,
after a delicious lunch, proceeded
to work out Mrs. Lancaster's pro-
blems.
Some very fine suggestions came
out of the discussion as to color
treatment of the room and wood
work, arrangement of furniture,
addition of book shelves, disposal
of some of the non-functional
pieces of furniture in the dining
room. Any member of the club who
had a personal problem she felt
would be of general interest to the
group in regard to housing was
given an opportunity to ask Miss
Mason questions. The women who
attended this meeting were the
Home Furnishing Chairmen from
the homemaker clubs in the upper
end of the county. They will give
some of the general information
in reports back in their own clubs,
and in so doing, create an aware
ness in the minds of our home
makers of the need to a;.vc :. plan
that will assure the homemaker
that any article of furniture that
she buys is related to the welfare
of her family and can have a
direct effect upon the family life.
The KensingtOn Meeting
On Saturday, April IA, Miss
Mason and Miss Turner met a
group at the home of Mrs. George
Menkie in Kensington. The Men
kies have bought a lovely large
old home and have just moved in.
The attendance on Saturday was
not as large as was expected, due
to the death of President Roose-
welt, but the group worked hard
all day on the problems that Mrs.
Menkie presented and some very
fine suggestions were brought out.
The group enjoyed their lunch out
under the lovely trees in the yard.
The Planners Meet In Rockville
The third day, Mon, April 16,
Miss Mason met with % women at
the home of Mrs. George Ray in
Rockville. Again, as the home
makers were not acquainted with
one another, time was taken to
have them introduce themselves
and give little Of their back
ground before the meeting was
called to order. Mrs. Ray pre-
sented her problems and Miss Ma
son followed much the same plan
set up at Clarksburg. After a
lovely luncheon the group worked
on the problems as listed. Dis
cussion at these meetings was
most interesting and enlightening.
The homemakers gave excellent
suggestions and it seemed that
Mrs. Ray felt plans that had been
developed were possible to attain.

An1erica,s s Mastery Whipped Japanese
(NEA Telephoto)

138 destroyers were sunk. What remained was so varied types that Japan became fourth-rate naval power.
 The American carrier fleet played the decisive role. When war be- gan, the U. s. fleet had only seven carriers. Four were lost the first year. Yet by 1943 we had 50 car- riers in action and this year almost 100. Our planes ranged from one end of the Japanese lifelines to the other.
 The carriers changed the whole strategy of naval battle. They turned the battleship into a protector of flattops until Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet loosed the big guns on Japa- nese home island land targets.
 The submarine-despite the loss of the U, s. cruiser Indianapolis was minimized by radar. Grand Admiral Doenitz, head of the Ger man navy, admitted at Weimar in 1943 that radar had deprived the submarine of its essential feature, the element of surprise.
 One lesson learned was that Japan's navy and air-force, even with a ileadStart, was unable to strike 8 knockout blow. Consequent ly, a disarmed Japan should be. comparatively easy to handle-long as that military privation lasts.

 Forces Topped-oH By Atomic Bomb Licked Enemy
By RALPH HEINZEN (Uitned Press War AnalySt)

Emperor Hirohito in his surrender announcement put his finger on the atomic bomb as the cause of Japan's downfall but his country was whip ped before that. Japan's first eff forts to get Russia to intervene for peace antedated the atomic bombs by one month.
 Japanese military analysts in time vii definie the fundamental rea- sons for their defeat. But today it was possible to list these major con- tributing causes:
 Decisive Factors
 1. Complete American air and sea mastery of the home islands after the fall of Okinawa and Two Jima.
 2. The decisive role of the car- rierS.
 3. The necessary dispersal of Japanese effort on five main active fighting fronts.
 4. Overwhelmingly superior American technical and scientific developments = chief of which were the atomic bomb, radar and fire jelly.
 The historical precedent was set that major power has been de- feated while its main army virtually was intact, its homeland not invad- ed and its war industry still produc- ing at better than 50 per cent oi capacity.
 Almost Continuous Defeat
 The German Army lost its first battle of the war at Stalingrad in January 1943. It did not win another battle but kept fighting for more than two years. The case of Japan was parallel. Japan did not lose a battle until their great naval defeat in the battle of Midway June 4-6 1942 and their first land defeats at Guadalcanal and the battle of the Solomons in August 1942. From that time until the end, the Japanese die not win another major engagement against the Americans.
 The decline of Japan's offenSiv, strength dates to those early maya battles. Her strategy underwent { vital change. Until then, Japan wa. engaged in a swift offensive strike seeking to spread as far as possible and occupy and organize defensively as many keypoints as it could gral while the Allies were organizing Afterwards, Japan changed to de. fensive action. Japan waited for u. to come to her and we did.
 Japan never regained the offen' Sive.

Nurserynen Propose E Educational Program
 Frederick s. Baker of Cheshire Treasurer OfNew England Assn. Plan to Bedutify
 Lond Surrounding Homes and Factories

Frederick s. Baker of Cheshire, Conn, is the treasurer of the New England Nurserymens Association which is launching an educational program to help the people of New England in the Identification of the land surrounding their homes, fac- tories, offices, and municipal build- angs.
 Organized 34 Years
 This Association was organized in a911 and incorporated in 1926. Its objects are to promote the nursery Industry in every needful and ethic- nl way through close cooperation with the American Association of Nurserymen and with State and local Nursery organizations, to rec onmend constructive and protective legislation and to encourage improv- ed trade production practices as well as to serve in general the best in- terests of the nurserymen and their customers in this territory.
 In 1917 the members did a gross business totalling over a million dollars, by 1925 the membership had nearly doubled and the gross busi- ness war worth over two million dol lars. Tn 1897 the Association be- came affiliated with the American Association of Nurserymen directly by becoming the New England or Chapter No. 5 of that organization and has steadily increased in mem- bership.
 At the close of World War I the Association sponsored program for food production. The members CO., operated by the growing of various crops such as beans, corn, tomatoes and some potatoes as well as other assorted vegetables. During World War II, the membership has cooper ated with the Federal Government by reducing their acerage of nursery crops and growing instead addition al food crops. Large acreages have been planted in potatoes, corn, beans, tomatoes and grain crops in spite of the severe shortage of labor. Unlike most industries during the war there has neither been ceiling price nor a critical shortage and despite labor handicap and food crop growing program, the New Eng land Nurseries are on the whole well stocked with 8 general line of mer- chandise available to home planters.
 Aid HOmeowners
 In this educational program the members of the Association will give constructive assistance by helping homeowners who want to landscape their homes and by assisting city and town officials who are anticip- ating Identification program
 Other officers of the New Eng land Nurserymen's Association in- clude: Lester w. Needham of Vest field, president: Milford Lawrence of Falmouth, Mass, vice president; and Louis c. Vanderbrook of Man. chester, Conn. secretary.

THEY OFFER a Good Neighbor
Policy to Latin America, and then
start Jim Growing brownskin
Latins at the Miami Airport be-
fore they hardly set a visiting foot
on American soil. Jim Crow hos
pitality! Por dos! Carramba!
They Think White-NOt Right
THEY WILL SELL a Negro

won't let him play it before buy

but won't let her try it on; sell
brownskin kid coke in Kansas but

burger in Delaware-but in a sack
to eat outside. Yet this is Amer
lea! Yes, it is, too!
Of course, not all white people
are that way, but so many of them
are that it isn't funny, particularly
of Anglo-Saxon origin. All around
the world they Jim Crow, from
Chicago to China, from London,
England, to Lincoln, Nebraska.
They set up separate segregated
Red Cross clubs all over the United
Nations-except in the Soviet
Union. Il reckon they would have
them there if it wasn't against
Russian laws.) They have an enor-
nous nerve, some white folks! Oh,
but they do!
Where do they get all this nerve,
and how? Well, I guess it's because
they have been getting away with
it for so long, it has become a kind
of second nature. Now, they are
surprised that we want a decent
table at the Zanzibar, or that we
wish a Christian Y.M.C.A. to be
really Christian, or that we are
puzzled at never seeing a colored
school teacher in a Hollywood pic
ture, but always a maid.
They are surprised that some
colored boys get psychiatrically
upset at being drafted into a Jim
Crow army by a Jim Crow draft
board in a Jim Crow state where
colored men cannot vote because
of Jim Crow. Or that some In
dams do not want to fight for
Britain, or that some Africans
have no desire to kill Greeks for
the Empire. They are surprised
that Negroes would like to lead
armies, too, since armies must be
led. They are amazed that we even
dream of wanting to command
white soldiers. But why not?
White soldiers command US.
I am afraid the nerve of some
white folks has gone to their heads
and affected their brains so that
they can't think right-only white
which is too bad, because this is
our world, too, so they had better
get over that.
