Views Of The Press

thies of Judge Lehman were cer- tain to exert an influence.
 An outstanding merit of his many years of service on the bench gained its fullest scope in his Albany post He was by predilection and equip ment an appellate jurist. While serving as justice of the Supreme Court, he was assigned large part of the time to the Appellate Term hearing appeals from the Municipal Court and the City Court. It was his demonstrated ability in this field which advanced him to the Court of Appeals. As chief judge there he showed not less skill in administering the court. in keeping its calendar up to date, in presiding over its sessions.
 Judge Lehman's personal qualities found expression in other fields be- sides the law. He was deeply in- terested in philanthropic and edu- cational work, and the testimonies of regret fore his passing and of effection for the man which came from so many of the states nota- hles, without regard for party afili- ation, are 8 measure of the respect in which he was held. The sympa- thy of the people of the state will go out to his family, which, includ- ing as 1t does former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, is one of which New York has every reason to be proud.

GOOD EARTH AND NEIGHBoRS
(christian Science Monitor)

Christian Science Monitor)
 It is a delightful and very satisfy ing custom-that of bearing harvest gifts to ones neighbors. Victory gardens, growing where only back yard lawns grew before, have ex- tended the practice among urban diwellers. For along about now the war gardener finds himself con- fronted with tomatoes to right of him, tomatoes to left of him. to- matoes in front of him, ripening and flourishing. Cucumbers and beans, too, wax prolific on the vines. And there is a limit to small family's canning facilities, storage, and inner capacity.
 It happened last veal. and the year before, and before that. But most victory gardeners didn't curtali their spring planting because of 1t. Not by seed packet! They got too much kick" out of sharing the fruit of their hands and lands with the gardenless folks next door and with their office mates.
 We might well think about this in connection with less fortunate friends abroad. There should be no plans to curtail food crops or fears of producing too much while fellow citizens of our One World are in want. Let us not permit oceans to dampen or curtail that expansive harvest sharing feeling.

A Thought for Today
Another Patton Incident

The extraordinary sentiments which General Patton expressed in his first interview military governor of Bavaria were disappointing to say the least but they are not entirely surprising War quite different thing to the military careerst It the field of exactng pro- esson scientific in theory but indivdualistc in actual operation As any other profession success demands certain natural apttudes well thorough training t Many professional officers have these qualifications only comparative few combine with them an ability to see the broader aSp~cts of These men realize that their own field of military science is simply the nSCru ment by which political, social and economic differences usually badly settled and new political Socal ana economic resentments are usually born
 They are able to evaluae the that lead to war They able to guage the desires ana intentions ana temperaments of enemy politicians and cvlnan Popua of broad wisdom and broad sympathes capable or oeg able statesmen well as able soldiers.
 We are fortunate in having some men of that sort tn our Army and Navy But General Patton 9evl0TSs t general with statements at his Bavar1an conference which, coming from the military governor of recently defeated enemy frightening to read He is quoted as having said that as far as he was concerned the Germans could things they saw fit politically ana having implied that he would as soon have reactonary nationaists and NaZis dominating Bavarian life as a bunch of Communists"
 According to New York Times correspondent, the general said he had the necessity of the de- modification program and that this NaN thing just hKe e Democratic and Republican election fight"
 General Patton played significant part in achiev- ang victory in Europe But 1t clear from his state-

SHOCKED CORN
(Hartford Courant)

I NA4ss4 tASA0 SSAASAA"
 Tn those localities where corn 1! Lgrown for grain and the stalks are salvaged for fodder, the fields are dotted with shocks. They stand ir rows like files of soldiers. Some are widely spaced while others, where the crop was better, are in close proximity. The experienced farmer mindful that too small shock will hot brace itself against the autumn storms while too large e shock will not cure properly. has taken care to make them just the right size.
 Corn -cutt.ng is, after all, a nletic- ulous job as well as heavy work. Shocking Is an art in itself, whether the shocks are built about @ horse or whether two hills are left stand- ing with their tops intertwined to support the cut corn. You are skill ful at the details Of either of these operations according as your shocks stand the onslaught of wind and storm. Tying-off is another test oi the corn cutters ability. The twine, now substituted for the rye straw fbinder of years long gone, must be pulled tight, and at the right height on the shock. An amateur could ruin the beauty of the fall scene, cluttering up @ field with slumping shocks as unstable on their feet aS the neighborhood drunk.
 Shocked corn Is eloquent and tangible evidence that seed time and harvest have not failed. It Is the immutable witness to the farmers $ diligence, or lack thereof, and to the viciSsitudes of the season. Moreover, 1t Is the welcome harbinger of winter as 1t stands in battalion formation between the growing season and chill of winter. Its grain, ground fine for mans consumption in corn bread l johnnycake and mush, or cracked for beasts, affords sustenance for life and shocked corn embraces both the fulfillment of mans planning and the promise for the future. It is alike realistic and symbolic, with a beauty peculiarly Its own.
