Kansas City, Mo. (UP)-When boy meets girl, especially 10000 miles from home, it's excuse enough to speak their own language.

 Miss Chen is the 25-year r-old daughter of Ching Young Chen, member of the Chinese ministry of education. She has joined the Municipal Airport meteorology staff.

Ashe Man Writes
OGerman Prison

Pfc, Tracy C. Blevins, formerly
OF this county, now in Germany,
has written the following about
the conditions in German pri-
son camp which he had visited:
Il went to see a concentration
camp where these Germans kept
prisoners and it was awful. Dead
and dying were all over the place.
People starved to death, some
even went as far as to eat the
flesh from their legs. You can
just imagine how awful it was.
Words can't express my feelings
since seeing these men, women
and children out there. When
they buried the dead they just
threw them all in together. I
saw a lot that we made the Ger
mans dig up and they were tied
around their hands and ankles,
probably been beaten to death.
/ wish all the u. S. A. could see
that awful sight. It would give
them some idea of what kind of
rats we are fighting"

HOME GAMERS
ASKED TO "CARRY
ON" BY F.D.R.

The food outlook is so dark
throughout the world that, in Janu-
ary, our habitually optimistic Pres
ident asked Victory Gardeners and
Home Gamers to carry on until
the war is won." Since then we
have been told over and over that
the only sure way to have enough
vegetables for our own use is to
grow and can them.
But please" advises Gladys
Kimbrough, Home Service Director
for Ball Brothers Company, makers
of glass fruit jars, "before you put
your shoulder to the home canning
wheel, take time to learn how jars
and caps should be used. 1t is also
smart to plan ahead, to buy ahead,
so that canning time will not find
you scurrying around trying to find
equipment needed for the job. You
may not find your favorite jar and
cap unless you shop early in the
season or it may be that merchants
don't keep them because other styles
sell better. If your home is on the
West Coast, you may not see any
all-glass lightning type jars because
most of your neighbors prefer a
Mason jar with two-piece metal cap.
The opposite is true of New Eng
land; the lightning type is a best
seller there. The majority Of home
Gamers in Southern, Central and
Northern states have always de-
manded Masons with one-piece zinc
caps
Zinc Caps Supply Uncertain
''No zinc caps could be made at
the beginning of the war. Now The
backlog of zinc has grown large
enough to permit the manufacture
Of a large quantity Of caps. Will
there be enough to supply the de-
mand? That's a SeUenty-Four Dol
lar question-nobody knows what
the demand will be. But, we do
know labor is scarce and shipping
facilities are not what we would like
them to be.
"A great many jars will have
Glass Top Seal (glass lid, rubber
ring, metal screw band) caps. There
will also be Mason jars with two
piece metal Vacu-Seal caps-these
are the ones with sealing compound
flowed around the edge Of the lid to
take the place Of a regular jar rub
Der: The incest Of the two-piece
metal caps have dome shaped lids
which pull down when good vac
uum seal takes place.
''HaH pints are being made and
so are wide mouth jars but neither 10
as plentiful as before the war.
'tNo matter what size home cam
ming Jar and style cap you decide
to use, no matter whether it Is your
first or fftieth year Of canning, it
will pay to choose a nationally
known brand and to use it by the
step-by-step instructions printed on
the circular packed with the jars
and on the cap carton. It costs the
manufacturer money to supply those
up-to-date instructions and it Is like
| " to cost home Gamers time, money,
and precious food if instructions are
not followed"

knowledge of the embarrassment
and inconvenience which con-
stantly haunts a mechanical il

or conscientious parent to take

LATIN automobiles
I don't entirely blame the school
system for my abysmal ignorance
of mechanics. Experience has
taught me that I probably would

+ can recall, no attempt was ever
made in my school-and I don't
think it is in the schools of today
even to teach boys what goes
on under the hood of an autolno-
bile.
A lot of them manage to pick
up this information. Many boys,
at the age of 16, are able to take
an automobile engine apart and
put it together again. But there
are probably still a lot who, un-
less taken in hand, will grow up
as I did-and will never know a

MACHINES boys
In this highly mechanical age,
the boy to be envied more than
the one who is born with silver
spoon in his mouth is the one who
cuts his teeth on a monkey
wrench.
And the boy to be pitied is the
one who grows up in a maze oA
mechanically and electrically op-
Grated gadgets without having
the faintest idea of what makes
them work.
I speak as one who knows-for
I am one of that strange coterie
of goth century males who studi-
ously avoid all contact with the
insides of all machines for fear
of demonstrating a stupidity
about them which is amazing even
to me. .>- 4 v-.&~
l don't know quite how it is
that I reached manhood in such
total ignorance of what makes
things go-particularly when I
realize that many of my friends
with whom I grew up have a
knowledge of machines which
astounds me.
But because of my first-hand
The Skyland post., 1945-06-14

spent hundreds of hours and for
which I have never found any
practical use. I would trade half
of the courses I had in high
school for a good groundwork in
what to do to make my car go
when it stops. And, as a side
line, I would be interested in
learning a few simple rules about
radio repair, about putting a new
washer in faucets, about install
ling electric light fixtures, about
adjusting lawnmower, and 9TH
er simple things like that. In ad-
dition to courses in machine op-
Grafton, I strongly recommend
that high schools introduce a
course on How To Be a Handy
Man.
FARMS schools
A well-known expert recently
said that the first thing to do, if
you hope to be successful farm
er, is to take a course in machine
shop work. He pointed out that
a farmer, usually being far away
from any town where he can get
help with equipment repair, must
be able to make all minor repairs
himself or else waste great deal
of time and money.
This will be increasingly true
with the postwar farmer, who will
have more mechanical and elec-
trical equipment than any farm
er ever had before.
But it is almost as important
for "the man of the house" in
towns and cities to gain basic
knowledge of the operation of
the thousand and one machines
which work for him-which sup
ply his transportation, furnish his
entertainment, freeze his ice,
wash his clothes, light his house
and burn his toast.
1t SENS to me that a sound
practical education about ma
chimes is of much greater impor-
tance than it is given in our pres
ent educational system. Whether
a boy is going from school to
farm, to college or to business,
all of the knowledge he can pick
up on this subject will be invalu
able to him.
With practically all mechanics
and electricians doing war work
today, have learned a bitter les
