Salvage Work

Eighty five Mount Clemens
Boy Scouts this week won their
General Eisenhower medals and
troop award for collection of
wastepaper for salvage purposes,
when figures on last Saturdays
pickup showed total collection
of 10000 pounds.
Scouts re Give the award for
an Individual collection of 1000
pounds of paper per boy. The
IS had previously accumulated
high records for paper salvage,
and this weeks weight figures
put them lover the top.
Many Scouts in last weeks
drive earned an amount Of
money sufficient TO defray their
expenses at Camp Agawam for
one week, according to council
president Guy H. Verkler, and
salvage chairman Ralph S. RAN
dolph, who arranged the collec-
ton. The total amount collected
averages 707 pounds per Boy
Scout.
The Boy Scouts express their
thanks not only to the general
public who made the war con-
tribution possible, but to the
city Street and Water Depart
ments whose men and equipment
made the pickup 100 per cent
successful.

Many of the Germans plunged

Gigantic Meteor
Flashes Across Sky

PHILADELPHIA, May 4-(P)
Tine mysterious flash of light
reported seen in the Middle At
lantic states early today was
probably a "bolide, the largest
kind of meteor" DR.. Roy K.
Marshall, director of the Fels

DR.. Marshall based his state
ment on reports coming to him
from persons in Philadelphia
and vicinity who saw the flash
at approximately BIAS am. and
who felt tremors which shook
buildings.
A meteor of this kind travels
at the rate of from five to 20
miles a second, DR.. Marshall
said. 1t may be as large as 1000
tons and 10 feet in diameter.
1t pushes the air ahead Of 1t
producing waves of shocks with
resulting loud explosive noises,
he said.
DR.. Marshall said il may be
hours or even days before il
can be determined where the
meteor ended its course. 1t may
never be traced. II it plunged
into the ocean.
Earlier today, Army, Navy

Carrots and beets are among
the most valuable of garden veg
etables since both may be started
as soon as the ground is ready.
Succession planting will provide
tender young specimens all sum-
mer. and a large crop to store
for winter. Three paintings dur
ing spring and early summer
will assure crops for the entire
season. Last planting should be
late varieties and used for stor-
age.
Carrots do best in sandy loan
soil that has been we'll lined and
dug to a depth of at least eight
inches. Carrots are tap-rooted
and must grow straight down
without interference. Seed ger
inmates slowly and the gardener
must keep the rows free of
weeds to give seedlings chance
to become established. Wedding
will be slow and painful because
carrot seedlings have very
fine foliage and are easily pulled
out. A common practise is to
mix some early radish seed with
the carrots when sowing. The
radishes will terminate in a
few days, mark the rows clearly,
and, incidently, provide the ear
Hest of all root vegetables. They
are ready long before the carrots
have attained much size.

German soldiers, surrendering
10 American and British forces

effort to avoid falling into the
hands of the Russians, have Gre
ated a serious problem for AL
lied authorities charged with
keeping them Gagged and fed.
Front dispatches said German
officers and men were virtually
racing each other to what they
evidently consider the safety Of
American lines. London papers
declared that the British and
American armies already had
taken SO many German prison
ers that Britain's facilities for
feeding and housing them had
become inadequate.

after half of them, regardless

Beet culture Is similar to that

make sure that the soil is slightly
