Georgia Court Upholds
Savannah Pension Act

ATLANTA, Ga, June 7.-UH-
The Georgia Supreme Court today
affirmed the right of the City of
Savannah to suspend a fireman's
pension during a period when he
holds other profitable employment
M. H. Franklin, a retired fire
man, sued the City Of Savannah
for $3.50 which he claimed had
been withheld from him while he
was employed at Hunter Field by
the Federal government. The City
claimed that the Pension act pro-
vided that the pension could be
withheld during a period when a
retired employee made as much as,
or more than, the pension through
some other employment.
The Chatham superior court de-
cided the case in favor of the city
and the Supreme Court affirmed
its judgment.

Why Not Grow
Sweet Potatoes

WHAT'S THE matter with
growing your own sweet potato
plants this year? At least you'll
be sttfe-ef-g getting flaVorfel
variety because you can pick a
parent tuber from a batch Of
sweet potatoes you've enjoyed
eating.
Pick out a clean, well-shaped,
good-Sized tuber with no visible
sign Of disease. Set 1t in a con-
tainer that is narrow al the
top-to fit the tuber-and has
plenty eEsPaee- i'm the bottom
TO hold water. One end of the
tubcr should just touch the
water surface.
M!thiR several weeks, the eyes
will have sprouted and the
vines will have grown 10 con-
siderable length. Now take cut
tings Of these vines, possibly
using Just the tip of each. Cut
under a node, which is the spot
from which the leaves grow, and
cut straight across.
Then root the cuttings either
in a box of clean sand or in
water

Old Bulbs

DULLES that have been forced
~ into bloom indoors need not
he discarded after they have
lowered, provided they have
been growing in soil. Many of
them that would normally bloom
outdoors in the garden may be
planted there when warm
weather arrives and viii have
renewed themselves sufficiently
in year or two so that they
viii bloom in the garden for
years to come. The tender bulbs,
such as amarylliS, may be forced
year after year if proper care IS
given them after blooming
Detroit evening times., 1945-03-18
Keep Moist

Either type Of bulb must, how
ever, be kept moist until its
leaves start to die down natu-
rally. In other words, continue
TO treat the bulb as YOU would
any other house plant until it
shows signs of beginning its
rest period.
When this time arrives, shown
by yellowing or browning of
leaves, it is time TO reduce the
amount Of water given. This
should be done gradually over a
period of 10 days or two weeks,
depending on how the leaves
look. until at the end of this
time. no more water IS given.
This gradual reduction in water
ing is known as watering off. "
Detroit evening times., 1945-03-18
Plant Outdoors

IF the weather is warm
enough when this process IS
completed the hardy bulbs such
as hyacinths or various narciSSi
and tulips, may be placed dI-
rectly in the garden, taking the
bulbs from their pots and plant
ing them individually where
wanted. No further care Of
them IS necessary.
Tender bulbs should he placed
in a cool basement, in their pots,
laid on the side In late May
the pots should be moved out
doors TO a shady spot next to
the house wall still on their
sides They may be left in this
situation all summer, then
started into growth in early fall
by being given water once more.

Hale turned on the heat
with such Tilt and conviction
that he soon was handling
most of the romantic CORE
spondence of his less.gifted
buddieS.
All went well until a So
year-old woman was found
murdered in Southampton.

he was under no suspicion
himself, having been miles

killed. The Yank admitted
that the note was one of
his compositions, but he
couldn't recall for whom
he'd penned it. There was
nothing to show that the
American for whom he
wrote ii had been the slayer,
but Siilick's superiors were
definitely annoyed.
One result was an order
from his c. Ono more

Another result is that life
has lost much of the ro-

number of Englishwomen.

Granted His DYING
Wish

A y Australian soldier
- dying of fever in a re-

mumbled over and over that
he'd like just one more bot
tie of beer before he went
West. One OF his buddieS
made contact by radio with
an airfield some so miles
away-and in a few minutes
a fighter plane swooped
low over a little clearing in
the jungle outpost and a
blanket roll thudded to the
ground.
The thick wooden folds
were unwrapped to reveal
two ice-cold bottles of beer.
The amber fluid was held
up to the soldiers lips. The
delirious AuSSie was able to
take only a few swallows of
the brew before he died, but
his pals had the pleasure of
granting his last wish.

On most of the flying

are trucks filled with three
tons of liquid carbon dioX-
ide. This stuff is sprayed
in the form of gas onto
burning fighting ships, at a

The icy mist snuffs out
flames the instant ii hits
them. It recently saved a

Residents of the neighborhood
protested the transfer at a hearing

the store from being moved nearer
the John F. Cook and Martha M

are located on the same side OF

which the transfer will allow Mr.

The engineer explained that while
indirect benefits, such as better liv-

the principal evaluated benefits are
flood control, increased water supply
for Washington, pollution abatement
in the Washington and Cumberland
areas, recreation in various degrees
better navigation by the retention
Of silt in upstream reservoirs and
