UNIQUE. Sigmumd l. Rothschild is
what you might call "a collectors
collector" He believes that if there
are two or more of anything in the
world, somebody will collect them.
Rothschild has cubby-hoe shop
in the middle of busting New York
where he collects just about every
thing: shoe buckles. arrowheads. car
bide lamps, Sweet Caporal cigarette
cards, hat pins. pencil boxes, bottle
tops. buttons, fossils. baby shoes,
epaulettes, tntypes, totem poles. cpl
taphs, sea shells, piggy banks, and
small bits of mountains.

and bat the breeze come a variety
of collectors including Gypsy Rose
Lee, who collects primitive Amer-
cana; Osa (Safari) johnson, who stud

bandmaster, who collects old sheet
music, and one thin, bespectacled
character who appeared at the door
one day and announced:
I'm a dust collector
He wasn't kidding. His collection
has dust from the Tai Mahal, Buck

Pompeii, and the Alcazar.

In Easton, Pa, a doctor heard one
of these lectures and said, Come out

expected to see stamps. Instead he
saw three garages, one filed with
wooden Indians, one filled with eigh-

French pianos.

We can do it. We have to do it, The
belief that when the frontier reached the
Pacific we were shut up in continent of
constantly diminishing possessions is now
known to be as false as it has actually
always been. Undoubtedly some resources
are gone forever But the plenty that the
pioneers possessed was a poverty pure and
simple compared to our possibilities.
FORTUNATELY we have made beginnings
in the new conservation. Soil ConseTva-
ton as national enterprise is scarcely
more than twenty years old. Our Forest
Service now is not merely concerned with
guarding trees but in growing them for
use Already reclamation has made gar
dens where nature provided only the des-
ert The great dams at Grand Coulee and
Boulder have taught us patterns for the
future. There is greater plenty in our
laboratories than Lewis and Clarke found
it's possibilities for people, America is
potentially richer than it was when the
first settler put the first ak to the first
tree in it.
This is no time for worry about wasted
America or saving what is left of it. 1t is
time for intelligence in the use of our
knowledge and powers to develop Amer
lea.
The men of our victories will not will
ingly be the kbitzers of our decay. They
will not be content with any conservation
conceived in the parsimonious use of the
remainders of plenty. Creatively. adven-
turously, without any need for apologies

and then dive into long day of base

Boston Braves when. one night in
Cincinnati, they learned they were
going to have real berths to sleep in

piled into the car and were snoring
happily in record time
Next morning they gasped as they
pulled up the shades - they were
still in the Cincinnati station. The
railroad people had found sleeper

our resources. Now we must
restore them. Doing it will
provide jobs for millions ..
In STATE capitols this year, around the
Il brass spittoons on the rubber mats
which survived the drives for scarce war
materials, members of legislatures have
been thinking about conservation. Aware
of the terrific drain of the costlest of wars
on our resources, more and more states
have passed laws to protect those re-
sources in the future. The process is adj
mrable but little late.
1t is not difficult to understand the fears
which pushed the legislature. The tree
that grew last year in Minnesota is dis
carded packing box on the beach at Ok-
nawa now The oil out of deep California
wells roared in victory over Tokyo. Amer-
can soil has given of its resources to pro-
duce more food for more people than any
nation ever produced before. Minerals
move faster out of our mines Synthetic
rubber plants and paper mills gulp down
what once seemed a limitless resource
of water
1T is reassuring to suppose that we can
save again after the spending for victory
is over. Maybe we can. But the higher
ups are talking about 100000 jobs, and
full production. That may not mean
headlong haste in the use of our resources.
But jobs mean materials under the hands
of men, and materials mean resources out
of our land.
Conservation must have a new meaning
for such time Its business must be not
merely saving but creating. For the future
about which we talk glibly, conservation
cannot be a process of carefully keeping

a good share Of the labor In the

This being the first year the
Kricks have had a victory garden,
Mr.. Krick caught on fast" how
to save time energy, and a lot Of
hard work. He started the year

thriving weeds from his $50 by 100
foot garden. Then he got smart"
and abandoned the hoe for one OF
Congdon's super duper garden
plows. Thus II wasn't long before
the. weeds were driven from the
premises and nothing even dares
grow there now except vegetables.
Weeds we're not the only evil
element in the Krick garden, for
potato bugs plagued the potatoes
and bean beetles did likewise to the
beans. Then II was that Mr.. Krick
busted" them of with bug dust
and sprayed them, so that the In
