He'll, Mich.
The mute testimony Of the Dar-
linton project--a city within the
City of Monroe-is that it can
happen here.
Darinton is a community OF 500
brand-new homes. but IL houses
scarcely more than half that many
families although il affords them
the benefits of city schools, fire
protection, sewers, water. gas,
electricity. mail delivery and bus
service.
RENT $3.50 TO SAT
Rents range from $32 so for two
rooms furnished TO SAT for FIVE
rooms furnished. Or the tenant
may furnish his own three, four
or five-room place at a saving of
81 to IS and still receive gas. hot
and cold water. electric lights, a
complete four-burner Victory"
model gas stove with oven and
broiler. an ice box of IS pounds
capacity and a coal-heating stove.
Stall shower and modern plumbing
also are standard equipment. He
must buy his own coal.
Yet, today, more than a year
and half after the arrival of
Darinton's first settler" some 40
of these fully-equipped homes have
never been occupied save as club
houses for night-prowling juve-
niles.
Broken windows, shattered by
stone or SNOWFALL, have let in the

Tortured by the dampness Of

Everywhere, in this uninhabited
portion, the brown stalks OF weeds

DOORS MISSING
Storm doors, weary of banging
in the winter wind, may be barren
OF glass or they may lie with
frames all broken in pieces. Others
are missing, altogether.
"After they blow of so many
times we take them down and
leave them down." Project Man
ager Roy j. Liedel explains re-
Signedly.
He attributes the dilapidation

TO deliberate vandalism.
Twenty or more OF the homes
MAY NEVER KNOW A TEN

condition Liedel describes as real
bad"
'1t would require 80 much
work we may never Ak them up

They may never be needed. IN

NUMBER, NOT HEIGHT

SAFETY OF a trump suit de-
ponds chiefly on the number of
cards in it held by your opponents,
SO that they will be out of trunps
before your side is. Hence the
suits safety depends on the num-
Der held by your side. Ordinarily
eight cards make a safe trump
suit, and seven r decidedly un-
safe, since then your opponents
hold six, which a majority of the
time 7 not evenly divided but
are distributed with one opponent
holding a dangerous four-card
length. Hence, if your partner
shows two suits, your preference
should be for the one in which the
side is most likely to have eight
cards, regardless of their height.

SOCIALIST LEADER
SAYS NEW BELGIAN
REGIME is FORMED

BRUSSELS, Feb. II. - R -
Achille Van Acker. a Socialist who
served as labor minister in the
recently-dissolved Pierlot cabinet,
said today he had succeeded in
forming a Belgian national unity
government.
His statement, which said the
normal division OF ministries be-
tween parties would prevail, was
taken to mean that the Catholics,
who had been undecided about sit
ting in a cabinet with Communists,
would be represented. Van Acker
said he would announce the names
of the new ministers later.
Van Acker said the exact num-
Der of ministries had not been de-
cided. The government of resigned
Premier Hubert Pierlot originally
had 10 members but was reduced
by designations to Is.
Van Acker's cabinet will include
some members of Belgian re-
sistance elements, but there will
be no Ministry of Resistance which
some had demanded.

STATE TO GOVERN
FRENCH INDUSTRY

PARIS. Feb. 11.-LR)-France' S
industrial reconstruction is being
undertaken on the basis OF state
planning and state control OF
private enterprise. Robert Lacoste,
minister of production, indicated
today this emergency step mlght
become the permanent system III
France.
1.-THE problems raised by the
present difficult economic situation
are too grave for private industries
to solve by themselves, Lacoste
said. "Only the state has the pow
ers necessary to tackle a task OF
such magnitude and it alone must
give directives to u.s."
To accomplish this state control,
provisional commissioners respon-
sible to the minister of production
are being appointed to control ev-
cry branch of such industries as
steel, coal and textiles.
The commissioners will receive
instructions from the government.
They are being named after con-
situations with professional organi-
cations, including private indus
trialists and labor unions. Mixed
committees of employers and
workers will advise the commits
sioners.
Lacoste said France, facing an
emergency, could either abolish
all RECOMMENDATION and let each per-
son act according to his own ideas
or maintain discipline Of all en-
terprises.
Declaring the latter course had
been decided upon, Lacoste cited
statement by Gen. de Gaulle: I'VE
wish it to be a state that directs
the economic effort to the profit
of all in order that life will become
better for each Frenchman."
Lacoste said there will be no
infringement of the rights of labor
unions. Most of the commissioners
thus far nominated have been
drawn from the ranks of unions
with union approval.

FIR MAY CONFER
WITH DE CAULLE

PARIS, Feb. 11.-(P)- President
Roosevelt, it is generally believed
here will visit both Italy and
France on his return from the
Black Sea conference, and will con-
ter with Gen. de Gaulle on France
aspirations in the postwar world
and the attitude of the United
States toward them.
Aids of de Gaune said the French
leader has mo expectation" of at
tending the Big-Three conference
of Roosevelt, Premier Stain and
Prime Minister Churchill.
1t is expected that Roosevelt
will do his best to assuage French
disappointment over not being TAX
en- into the Black Sea meeting,
and will tell de Gaulle there never
was any intention of depriving
France of a full voice in all mat
tiers affecting her.
One prominent American figure
here said there never was any op-
position on the part of the United
States to admitting de Gaulle to
the Black Sea talks.
1t also is expected that France
will be assured of participation in
future talks and that the Big
Three powers have no opposition
to de Gaulle's declared intention to
occupy the Rhineland, although
they believe this should be under
taken as part of the general Al
lied plan for the occupation of
Germany.
De Gaulle today was in the Al
SAGE town of Saverne, where he
decorated 1t. Gen. Jacob L. De-
vers, Sixth Army group comman-
der, as grand officer of the Lee
gion of Honor, and 1t. Gen. Alex
ander M. Patch, U. S. Seventh
Army commander, as comman-
der of the legion,
He also conferred the medal of a
chevalier of the Legion of Honor
and a CroiX de Guerre with palms
posthumcusly for Patch's son
Capt. Alexander III, who was
wounded fatally last October.
De Gaulle went to Saverne on q
swing through Alsace which began
at Mulhouse and took him through
newly-liberated Colmar and Stras.

to prevent soil from drying out
and becoming crusted.
The plants should be thinned
to remain 2 inches apart in the
row or should be transplanted
to other containers, spacing them
2 inches apart, when the plants
have formed their second set of
leaves. If the small plants are
transplanted a second time to
other containers before being set
in the garden, they will have a
better root system.
Before setting plants to the gar
den, gradually expose them to
low temperature and withhold
water for a week. This will make
them less susceptible to injuries
caused by frost, cold, and drying
winds, and sun. The plants
should be watered a few hours
before and Immediately after re-
planting.

The Tar Heel Gardener
BY JOHN H. HARRISS
By JOHN H. HARRIS
N. C.. State College

Last week, I explained how to
start plants in boxes. The article
was ended by telling how to sow
the seed.
the next step, after sowing the
seed, is watering. Watering may
be done by sprinkling or by set
ting the box in a shallow con-
tanned of water. This latter meth
cd is best since the water enters
from the bottom and will not
cause crust to form on top. The
soil should be allowed to dry on
top before watering again be-
cause too much water will cause
the plants to rot off.
The young plants should be
protected from the cold in early
spring by placing in windows or
similar places where they will
get full benefit of the sun Par
tial shade should be provided
before plants come up in order

in nearly every farm home in the
State. Mrs. McKimmon does not
tell her story with statistics. She
tells it with incidents showing the
impact of home demonstration
upon human lives.
She was great pioneer and her
story of how the first clubs were
established by rural homemakers
and how they overcame all diff
culties to apply the lessons learned
at their monthly gatherings is a
classic. 1t will bring a feeling OF
pride to every North Carolinian
and it should cause US to have a
never-dying faith in the inherently
staunch character of those who
live on the land.
Mrs. McKimmon has used almost
incredible care in telling little,
intimate details about the problems
of this family or that one as illus
trative of the general problems
which were affecting every other
family in the State. Her incidents
have been chosen with unerring
judgment and from the rich back
ground of her own personal exper-
fence. How the women and girls
learned to can; how they created
a market for their homegrown
and home conserved produce; how
they established curb market; how
the Negroes have carried on their
part of the work; and a thousand
and one other subjects covering
the whole broad field of farm life
are included in the book.
1t didn't take the farm woman
long to learn that possibly she was
not dressed so stylishly as her
sister IN town. That was the signal
for work to be done with sewing
and clothes, and years before the
paved roads, the automobiles, and
the picture shows, home demon
stratlon club women had gone to
work on this question of clothes.
1t was not long before she was even
better dressed than her town sister
because, in NOSE cases, she knew
more about fabrics and style. Her
sister had only the careful study
and demonstration at her club
meetings. When she had the money,
she had clothes the equal of any.
Mrs. McKimmon tells about this
under the title Ewes Daughters
and 1t is only one of the twenty-five
interesting chapters in the book.

NARENTS whose children have
night terrors or fear strangers,
. odd noises or strange odors usu.
ally attribute such behavior to child
ish Imagination. And many parents
think such children need disciplining
and try to force them into the situa.
tionS that caused their fears.
But in most cases these fear aC-
tions are symptoms of some deep
seated emotional upset and, in recent
years, doctors have discovered that
one source of the fear is an early
often minor surgical operation.
This does not mean that needed
surgery should be avoided or post
poned. Fear and phObias caused by
operations can often be prevented by
thoughtful parents and doctors who
recognize the danger. And when this
kind of mental or emotional injury
has already occurred, understanding
and sympathetic treatment by par
cntS, under the doctors guidance
usually will repair the damage.
Parents need to think Of an oper-
alton from the child's point of view
Removal of the tonsils, since il is a
common experience for children to
day, is good example.
