farm at Gull Lake and to near
by private farms approved by
the Calhoun County agricultural
agent.
Two farm machine firms have
loaned the school its equipment
including the tractors. This is
the most popular part of the
school, Strauss says. Patients
learn how to operate the new
gadgets, how to put them to-
gether and repair them.
Not all his students turn out
to be farmers according to
Strauss. 1T would look nice on
paper il they did, but that isn't
what we want" he explains.
TWO.WAY STRETCH
1t is just as important, he says,
that some men decide not to
farm as it is that others will 60
inc the business. MEN who de-
eide not to farm now will save
time, money, and disappoint-
ment. Of these / think disap-
pointment or sense of failure is
probably the most important"
Strauss commented.
IF the veteran fails in his first
enterprise it could easily color
his thinking for long time.
Lots of them do not have too
much confidence now, and a
failure at first could be disas-

WASHINGTON. July SIP,
The government today began
an attack against initiation in the
field of real estate and securities.
Worried over speculation and
rising prices, the l8-man econ
omic sterilization board headed
by William II. Davis is reported
TO have approved unanimously
a three-point program.
The first point was TO limit
loans for buying stock exchange
securities. The Federal Reserve
Board did that by raising the
margin requirements from 30 10
rs per cent, effective today.
The other two points will be
harder to put through. They are:
l. Limiting loans for buying
real estate. This needs an order
from the White House. The sta
bilization board has recommend
&c. that President Truman give
the Federal Reserve Board au-
thority to regulate mortgages on
farms and homes-the way 1t
now regulates stock m X =
loans. II the order is issued. the
reserve board probably will re-
quire certain down payments in
buying farms and urban real
estate.
2 Slapping heavier taxes on
those who buy real estate OF
stocks and sell them quickly at
profit. This needs an act Of
Congress. The present law says
such profits are exempt from
income taxes if the property Is
held six months or more. The

FORT CUSTER, July 5-(R-
How you going to keep them
down on the farm"
In the wake of World War I,
that was the catch line not only
to a popular song, but also to a
problem - one that apparently
doesn't exist with this war.
In fact farming seems to be
pretty popular with wounded
combat veterans now at the
Percy Jones Convalescent Hos.
pital here.
Any nice day you can see CTS
who just few weeks or months
ago were concentrating on the
grim business of war, buzzing
happily around the Fort Custer
farm on light weight tractors.
Witout any hesitation they have
traded their guns for hoes and
their tanks for tractors.
CT STUDENTS
They are soldier students at
the hospitals agricultural school,
one of the most popular of the
trade schools made available to
convalescing patients.
Complete with dozen new
tractors, $50 acres of land in
crops, and classes in animal
husbapdry as we'll as farm the
Dry, the AG school offers prac-
tical streamlined "short course"
of which any college might be
proud.
Although the majority of stud
entS are pre-war farmers, many
are city boys" who've always
had a yen to farm and now are
getting q chance at it. 1t. James
M. Strauss, University of Ken
lucky graduate who organized
and heads the school, says farm
er-soldiers enter the course to
brush up on techniques, to learn
new wrinkles and just to get the
good feeling of being farmer
instead of a soldier.
SERIOUS CASES
Another important group OF
students, he pointed out, are the
CTS who have been seriously
wounded. Doctors may tell them
they will still be able to farm,
but typicaIly American, they
want to see for themselves. Most
spectacular OF these are amput-
ees-meh who have lost either
an arm or legA This week more.
than a dozen voluntarily are at
tending classes, being transport
ed daily from the general hos
pital in Battle Creek to do so.
I'VE show them they can farm
with only few exceptions, !"
Strauss declared enthusiastical-
1--WE have to work out modifi-
cations on the machinery some
times so they can handle every
thing with their artificial arms
or legs-but it can be done in
most cases."
The school is divided into six
one week units, so that if the
patient only stays at the hospital
a week, he sill gets one complete
unit. Patients get two units
each in crop and truck farming,
farm machinery, and animal
husbandry. Actual work in the
field, part of the farming unit,
is the least popular according TO
Strauss, who added however
that once the men see how pro-
fitable truck farming can be,
many change their minds. One
patient who left the school early
this Spring is now in the truck
farm business near Chicago.
PROVIDE PRODUCE
Already the school truck farm
has furnished Percy Jones hos
pital with $50 pounds of ra&ish-
es, and the garden peas are ex-
pected to do away with the ne
cessity of buying that vegetable.
Large fields have also been
planted with soy beans, field
corn and the like, for instruction
purposes only as the school has
no cattle of its own. Glasses in
animal husbandry study theory

LA PLATA, Md, July 16 (SpeciaD
Not unlike famous old race horse
that is finally after many exciting
races on the tracks sent home for
rest and retirement from such ac-
tivity is the famous old truck 10 of
the fire Department of the city of
Baltimore, just sent to the La Plata
Volunteer Fire Department as a
gift. The old truck fully equipted
with extension ladders that seem to
be able to stretch to the very sky
and other fire fighting equipment is
now on display, parked near the La
Plata fire Department waiting to add
new glory to its past history Of many
thrilling adventures in fighting fires
in Baltimore for more than 20 years,
chief of the La Plata Fire Depart
ment announced today. The truck
19 was a gift of the Board of Fire
Commissioners of which Robert B
Brown, Jr. is president, who said he
was glad that the old truck could
serve the La Plata Volunteer Fire
department. With the many long
extension ladders many tall build
ing or barn can be reached when on
fire and the fire extinguished as a
result quicker than heretofore, so
the La Plata Volunteer Fire Depart
ment members are highly pleased
with their grand gift which was
gotten for them through the efforts
of Chief McDonagh and Mr.. Brown
So If one has not seen the old truck
the fire department feels all in lower
Southern Maryland should make an
effort to visit La Plata and see and
inspect the truck of which they are
extremely grateful for.
