OPA WILL ASSIST
VETS IN BUSINESS

Washington - Price Admins
traitor Chester Bowles announced
a program intended to give re-
turning veterans special aid in
starting new businesses.
He said that OPA was well
along in the process of amending
price and rationing regulations
which affect veterans as business
men or potential businessmen.
The revision, Bowles said, are
of price regulations restricting
the field Ito those who were in it
before a certain date"
The changes also include ''sev-
eral of our rationing regulations,
especially in the case of sugar,
fats and oils" Bowles said.
"In formulating these revisions
of our regulations we are keep
ing in close touch with other Fed
eral agencies exercising ALLEGATION
powers so that all the business
needs of veteran entering a new
business may be considered un-
der a uniform Government poll
cy," the OPA chief said.

Tells Story Of
Home Dem. Work

A human interest story of how
home demonstration work over
came all early obstacles and grew
to be one of the great educational
movements of the past quarter
century is dramatically told in a
new book written by Mrs. Jane S..
Mckimmon and just released by
the University of North Carolina.
The book bears the unassuming
title of when We're Green, We
Grow" and in it's 353 pages will
be found incidents, hitherto I'M
revealed history, and much re-
markable human insight which
tell better than statistics how the
farm women of this State worked
to form the present successful
home demonstration program.
Mrs. McKimmon was able to get
the five pioneer state home agents
beginning her work in 1911, to
promote girls tomato clubs. The
idea was based on the successful
boys corn clubs which had been
organized by the Farmers Coop
erative Demonstration Work.
Mrs. McKimmon was able to
IA counties organized in that first
year and 230 farm girls planted
one-tenth acre of tomatoes each
and filled $4,000 cans. These pio-
neer counties were Alamance,
Catawba, Edgecombe, Gates,
Granville, Guilford, Hartford,
Madison, Mecklenburg, Moore,
Pitt, Wake, Wayne and Wilkes.
Each of these counties put up SIS
for years work, with the ex-
ception of Wayne which was
willing to risk only $50. The first
agents were supposed to work
only during the canning season
but, as Mrs. McKimmon tells,
they worked the whole summer,
and have continued to work in
that manner since that time.

Meat May Be Decreased On
Civilian Market In Near Future

Washington - Meats may vir-
tually disappear from civilian
markets by midsummer, Gov
eminent food officials predicted.
The forecast accompanied new
steps to divert the larger portion
of current production into war
stocks.
Civilian supplies could be ex-
pected, however, to reappear
when Fall marketings of live
stock begin their normal increase.
Three factors are involved: I'm
expected smaller total meat pro-
duction; the sharp drop in live
stock marketing which normally
occurs in Spring and Summer;
and the combination of those fac
tors which may leave the Govern
ment unable to satisfy it's wants
beforehand and get out of the
market ahead of the low-supply
season.
The war stocks are those the
Government buys for the armed
forces, for lend-lease, and for CT
william consumption in u. S. terri
tories outside the Continental linn
it's of the country.
With livestock marketing fall
ling below previous expectations,
the Agricultural Department cut
its forecast of total production
this year from 22,75O,OOO,OOO
pounds to 22,OOO,OOO,OOO. Last
year, 24,7OO,OOO,OOO pounds were
produced.
1t is possible that per capita CT
william consumption this year may
fall to the lowest level since 1885
when meat supplies dropped af-
ter emergency slaughter of
drought-stricken cattle on West
ern plains in 1884 and reduction
of hog numbers by means of the
Governments pig killing pro-
gram designed to improve farm
prices.
There is little doubt that civil
ian meat supplies will be reduc-
ed sharply from the present rath-
er tight condition. Livestock
marketing and slaughter are
smallest in the Spring and Sum-
mer.
Action taken by the Govern
ment to divert more meat to the
armed services and lend-lease
countries was an order requiring
federally inspected slaughterers
to set aside 70 per cent instead of
the previous so per cent of their
utility grade beef for production

''Why
Kiwanians H e ar Wounded Veterans Prize-Winning
 Essay

A youth wounded in action in the Italian campaign is the author of a short essay on the theme Why I Fight. It is stirring ap- peal for men to Think.
 Lawrence M. Duryee of the Con- necticut Light & Power company selected the essay as fitting con- clusion to his educational talk on electronics. The essay follows:
 T fight because it's my fight.
 I fight because my eyes are un- afraid to look into other eyes. Be- cause they have seen happiness and because they have seen suffering. Because they are curious and searching. Because they are free. But if see and do not think, I am blind.
 I fight because my ears can hear both sides of question. But if I hear and do not think, I am deaf.
 I fight because my knees kneel only to God.
 I fight because of all these. And because I have mind, a mind which has been trained in free school to accept or reject, to pom der and to weigh-a mind which knows the flowing stream of thought, not the stagnant swamp of blind obedience-a mind school ed to think for itself, to be cur- ious, skeptical, to analyze, to form ulate and express its opinions; a mind capable of digesting the in- tellectual food it receives from a free press. Because if a mind does not THINK, it's the brain of a Slaye.'

Judge Cornell Finds No Evidence to Warrant
 Granting Decree

Judge John T. Cornell yesterday denied divorce to Mary Valerie charging Frank Valerie with wilful desertion. The action was first in- stituted by the husband, who alleged intolerable cruelty and Mrs. Valerie later filed a cross complaint. The marriage took place 25 years ago.
 The court ruled that the evidence which was presented at the hearing in superior court last month, did not constitute deSertion. The couple had amicably parted in 1929 because of lack of funds to maintain a home, and Mir. Valerie had left his wife with her consent, and with the in- tent of returning to her at some future time.
 The marriage of Michael F. Gm- goni, Derby, and Margolata M. Gar goni, Naugatuck, was yesterday de- clared null and void by Judge Cor nell, who upheld the husbands al- legation htat Mrs. Gargoni had con- tracted marriage fraudulently. Joseph w. Perrone, Waterbury, now serving in the armed forces today filed an action for divorce against Victoria Rinaldi Perrone, also of Waterbury, in the Superior Court, alleging intolerable cruelty and de- sertion. The couple was married May 30, 1940. The plaintiff seeks the custody of son, Stephen, age four.

CHARLES T. MAILMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Aug. g. (UP) In 57 years Herbert Morrison has risen from birth as the son of a poor cockney policeman to the Lord Presidency of the Council in the new Labor government of Britain.
 He has one more ambition to satisfy-to become Prime Minister.
 In the present cabinet he will serve as government leader in the House of Commons, a role in which his gift for sharp repartee and toe to-toe debate is expected to come to, the fore.
 Rivalry Helped Attlee
 Political observers are divided on the question of whether Morrison will ever achieve his ambition of gaining the premiership. Intra- party rivalry, particularly between Morrison and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, led to selection of the neutral Clement Attlee as the party's leader and put him in the prime ministership which both Morrison and Beven covet.
 Morrison is a small near-sighted man with an unruly mop of hair and great energy. He wears thick spectacles.
 He has flung his energies for years into the task of reforming and rebuilding London. From 1884 to 1940 he was the leader of the labor majority on the London county council and devoted himself to vast projects in housing, sanitation and public works.
 He is regarded as a middle -of- the road man, politically, and dur ing his career with the London county council never had any diff ficulty in working closely with the big financial houses of London which handled the bond issues with which his improvements of the city were financed.
 In the past two years he has made a particularly close study of the problem of nationalizing some of Britain's basic industries and of controlling others. He is virtual ly the only labor leader who "as seriously studied these problems.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-02
Herbert Morrison
 Eyes Premiership

His view is that such changes can be carried out gradually over a period of years, changing Britain's industrial pattern without any ser- ious disruption of commerce.
 In the Churchill coalition cabinet he was Minister ot Home Affairs and Home Security and drew some criticism from those who charged that his security measures jeopard- ized basic British freedoms. His defe was that the war threats fully justified interference with normal liberties and that the ex- traordinary powers would be relin- quished as soon as the threat lift ed. With the end of the war in Europe he made good on his prom ise.
 Never Quits
 Morrison has been forced to fight every foot of his way up. And he has not won all his fights. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1923 and defeated the next year. He was elected in 1929 and defeated two years later. He came back to win in 1885.
 This year, possibly with look at in and out record, he abandoned his constituency of Hackney south and ran in new one, Lewisham east. There he won with ease.
 Morrison is persistent. When he was a youngster in a London slum he noticed that he was barred from enjoyment at local dances because he knew nothing about dancing he'd always had to work too hard to take out time to learn.
 So he saved his money and f1n- ally had enough to take dancing lessons. After he was through with the lessons he practiced assiduous- ly and most of his slender amuse- ment money went into the public dancehalls.
 Today he is said to be the best dancer in the labor party. He often used to work in his office until g p. m. and then go out and dance until or in the morning.
 He no longer can enjoy his fav- orite relaxation, however He has developed a serious foot ailment which prevents him from gliding around the ballroom floor.
