LIST The Number

You probably have noticed
that next 10 the description nt
each kind OF seed in the catalOg
is a number as well as a name.
Perhaps you do not know this,
but seed orders are filled by
those numbers. The bins of seed
packets are all numbered and
the person picking out the order
walks along the rows of bins
and pulls a packet from a bin
according TO the number on your
order sheet.
This means that first Of all,
you must copy those numbers
accurately from the catalogue
in order TO be sure OF getting
the exact seed You want II
also means that you can greatly
expedite the filling of your
order by listing the seeds
wanted in the order IN which
they appear IN the catalogue.
Normal folks begin looking
through a catalogue at the be-
ginning anyway, so why not

Little Tricks
Kee o Bread Fresh

WHILE THERE is still no
scarcity Of bread, we are all be-
coming trained TO conserve
everything wherever possible.
SO here are a couple of hints
on preserving a simple loaf OF
bread.
If you will cut a fresh apple
or potato in half and put IT in
the bread box, you will find IT
keeps the bread moist and fresh
longer. When your bread has
a tendency 10 mold, try washing
out the bread box with vinegar
and water. And never keep cake
and bread in the same box. Do
these simple things and you'll
find that the good old staff Of
life will stay soft and eatable
much longer.

Buffet Supper

OF course a buffet supper
would be proper too, but this IS
much more expensive, and un-
doubtedly you couldn't accom-
modate as many people as for
tea. al which a simple menu
would be suitable: sandwiches,
tea or coffee, small cakes or
cookies, nuts, candy.

the couple are already mar

Sidered good taste for a mem-

Cherry
Desserts

THE CHERRY tree legend told
l. throughout the years about
one of our great presidents,
George Washington will always
be one of Americas best loved
and cherished stories. Bright
red cherries, tempting in flavor
have long been a favorite fruit.
Thus il seems most appropriate
that this February should bring
forth tasty food featuring the
fruit.
Cherry tea squares are a spe-
cial breakfast coffee cake. Here
a light and tender coffee cake
is made extra tempting with
juicy cherries. Breakfast takes
on smart newneSS when these
squares become part of this inn
pOrtant meal.

ForgetfuI Customers

Among the Seedsmen's not-So-
good customers are those who
write down the name of one
variety and the number of an
other variety. Filling the order
then becomes a case of guess
work. Just which is right
name or number? A boner like
this may ncceSSitate correSpon-
dcnce with the customer-an-
other headache when clerical
help is short and the larger
seed houses already have girls
working in two shifts-day and
evening.
OF course you wouldn't dream
of forgetting 10 fill in your
name and address on the or
der blank. Or would you? Hun
drcds of customers every sea-
son forget this simple but
highly necessary detail and
then kick when their seeds do
not arrive.

A Duplicate List

And what about a duplicate
list for your own use, so you
know Just what YOU ordered
and can check the package of
seeds when IT comes? BY the
simple cNpedient of slipping a
sheet of carbon and a sheet Of
paper under that order blank
when you iill il out, YOU will be
able to tell If your order IS all
there.
And the answer TO the seeds
mans prayer is the customer
who takes care Of all these de-
tails instead of hoping they Will

 The first pond freeze Is always the slowest Of the season. Miss Hub- bell aid. once the ponds freeze at the proper depths for the first time sufficient ice foundation remains thereafter throughout the season SO that future freezes do not take as long.
 At Fulton Park the lower or big" pond must freeze to a depth G inches while the upper or "small' pond must harden to a depth Of inches before either are considered safe to hold the thousands of skating en- thusiasts. These two ponds are the only natural bodies Of water in the city where skating is authorized.
 In the artificial. or flooded rinks, such as Hamilton and Washington Parks and the new ring on Aurora street in the Bunker Hill section the safety depth is judged at about 3 inches.

 XXVII
 SUPPLY LINE MIRACLE
 In Western Burma the British across the Chindwin against Jap anese delaying actions. South ward in the Arakan, British op- erations cleared the Kaladan River delta on the Arakan Coast and provided air strips at Akyab and on Ramree Island.
 The Japanese retreat in Burma was in full swing by the end of January 1945. General MacAr- thurs successive landings in the Philippines and United States fleet operations in the China Sea had cut the Japanese supply line to Burma. In mid-February, Brit ish column crossed the Irrawaddy near Pagan and drove to Meiktila. The seizure of this road and rail center with its airlelds under mined the whole Japanese posi- ton in Central Burma. In the meantime, other British-Indian forces were closing on Mandalay from the north and west. Jap anese trapped in Mandalay held out against the British until q March. Forty days later British airborne troops descended along the western shore of the Rangoon River south of the port and as- sault troops came ashore the fol- lowing day. The Japanese had already fled Rangoon and the Brit ish forces entered on 3 May. The port facilities were captured in good condition.
 The Burma campaign had all but ended. A few Japanese units were able to withdraw eastward into Thailand and into the Moul- mein area of Southern Burma, but thousands of the enemy were put off in isolated pockets with little hope of escape. Admiral Mount batten reported the fighting had already cost Japan 100000 casual ties of which 97,000 were counted dead.
 Flow of Materiel Increases
 The Asiatic operations had been maintained at the end of the most precarious supply lines in history. The efforts of the United States service forces to strengthen them were prodig,ous. United States port battalions at Calcutta worked in intolerable heat and humidity

 The Board of Assessors desires 10 call 10 the attention of all service men and women the importance Of registering with the Town Clerk their discharge papers in accordance with State Statutes.
 Section ii68 (as amended by 330E Suppl) follows: Any person who shall claim an exemption from tax ation by reason Of service in the Army. Navy. Marine Corps or Coast Guard shall give notice to the Town Clerk Of the town in which he shall reside that he is entitled to such exemption.
 Any person who shall have per formed such service may establish his right to such exemption by ex- hibiting to the Town Clerk an hon. orable discharge or a certified copy thereof from such service.
 The same statute provides:-No Board of Assessors or Board of Re- lief or other official shall allow any such claim for exception unless evidence as herein specified shall have been filed in the office of the Town Clerk or such exemptions had been allowed prior to July l, 1923.
 Because of the great increase in the number of service men and women who, by complying with the law, are entitled to exemption the Board of Assessors urges each of them to file their discharge with the Town Clerk before January l. 1946, so they may receive the benefit of the exemption on the current years taxes.
