QUEEN OF VICTORY GARDENS

The tomato has clear claim to
first honors as tke mot psopular veg
etable, according to results of the
sample survey of 1945 Victory Gar
dens by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. With need for garden pro
duction even more important this
year than last, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture anticipates that the
tomato will hold it's lead this season.
In 1945 Victory Gardens, the sur
vey showed that the tomato was
grown in SS percent of the far mgar-
gardens. On farms, this compared
with S5 percent that include ondions,
"a percent string or wax beans, rs
percent lettuce, and 72 percent rad
ishes. Potatoes with rs percent and
both green peas and cabbage in 20
percent of the farm gardens were the
other crops grown by 70 percent or
more OF the farm gardens.
In nonfarm gardens the tomato
had even a wider lead as a favored
tomatoes compared with 72 percent
for string or wax beans, 65 percent
for onions, GA for lettuce and 60 for
radishes. Lack of space was probably
the principal reason why only 36 per
cent of the nonfarm gardeners grew
potatoes, 80 percent green peas, and
AZ percent cabbage.
A group of vegetables ranging
from Az to 70 percent in both farm
and onfarm gardens, included beets,
carrots, cabbage, sweet corn and pep
pers. Turnips were more than twice
as popular (42 percent) on the farm
as off; nonfarm gardens reported on
ly 20 percent. Sweet potatoes ranked
similarly with 36 percent and IA per
cent recorded in the survey. In fruits
the farm gardens ran well ahead of
nonfarm gardens in all classes except
citrus fruits And six times as large
a share of teh gardeners ventured on
watermelon growing The survey
does not specify the reason for this
last.

VIVA OUTSCORES PERRYVILLE
HIGH SCHOOL

In an unusually slowly played con-
test, West Nottingham on April 80,
defeated Perryville High IA to 5. The
game was marked by final arrival OF
the Maroons potential attack and
better all around play. The game
bore small resemblance to real base
ball contest for the Perryville played,
in some degree, as though tLey mere
ly desired to conclude the action.
The important thing about the
game from our point of view was the
fact that the opposing pitcher was
the fastest man we have faced a..
year. Despite this, our boys smackeu
out II hits of which 10 were extra
base. 13 runs were driven in to prove
that everyone was hitting at TIE pro-
per time.
Fred Morgan, who is member of
the 3rd Form, pitched his first Var
sity game, in fact, the first game OF
his life. Although Fred is but IA
years of age, he did magnificent
job, and although nervous and wild,
struck out 12 and allowed but 2 hits.
His performance marks him as reai
pitching prospect.

Tidy Cover

You can make a kind of glorified
antimacassar or ..'tidy' cover for
your chairs from usable pieces of dis
carded fabric. The idea is to tailor
shorties, which fit snugly over the
upper third of the back, and sep
arately fitted "sleeve" pieces for
the arms. Thus an old or dark chair
is frightened up, you have protection
for the areas which get most soiled,
and the shorties take only few
minutes to wash and iron if you are
careful to choose washable fabrics.
Use checks, stripes, and plaids to
give modern lift to old pieces; or,
if you prefer floral, choose a col
or accent which blends with the
main color of the chair. Use
creamy, thick suds and lukewarm
water when you launder these; if
they are extra soiled, use a hand
brush instead of rubbing to loosen
the soil. Roll in a towel for mo-
ment to absorb excess moisture so
colors won't run, then hang to dry
in the shade. These miniature slip
covers will have a more profession
al look if the edges are bound with
contrasting tape or cord, but do be
sure these are fast color.

ACADEMY DEFEATS WILLIAM
PENN
PENN

The West Nottingham Academy
nine visited the William Penn Higl
School, on May 1st, defeating them
29-4, in a seven inning ball game.
The apparently tremendous Ma
room attack continued to function,
bringing in runs in their half of the
first inning William Penn couldn't
seem to get started. The third inning
brought the New Castle boys three
runs, with the aid of few Noting
ham errors and foolish plays. In the
fourth the Rams were keld scoreless
while Penn began to threaten, scor.
ing one run. Then the fioodgates
brokes and Nottingham scored in
the sixth and in the 7th, ending the
scoring typhoon at 20 runs. rs VIVA
runs were batted over the plate.
With the exception of few lapses
the Academy team continued to play
improved ball. Bill Bergeron's pitch
ing continued to progress and lie
held the New Castle team to 8 hits
and issued A bases on balls.
Coach mentioned the fact that ap-
parently all was set for the trip tC
Williamson School this coming Satur.
day. And that if we could win there
our chance for a fine season would be
reasonably enhanced.

Lasting loneliness

TTOW attractive is spiritual beau-
I'll tyl And how pressing is the
AA need for it to be more evil
denced and appreciated in human af-
fairs. The unselfish deed, the healing
thought, the noble outlook all ex-
press the beauty of the perfect Life,
the divine Mind, which is God. The
Bible declares psalms 5O:2), "Out
of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined."
On page PAT of Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Scie nee,
writes: Beauty is thing of life,
which dwells forever in the eternal
Mind and reflects the charms of His
goodness in expression, form, out
line, and color. 1t is Love which
paints the petal with myriad hues,
glances in the warm sunbeam, arches
the cloud with the bow of beauty,
blazons the night with starry gems,
and covers earth with loveliness."
The one who best expressed on
earth the beauty of perfection was
Christ Jesus. The Gospels inform
us of his youthful desire to be always
about his Fathers business; they tell
us of his habitual meekness in giving
up his own will and his might in do
ing the will of God, of his gentleness
in binding up the brokenhearted and
his stern rebuke of hypocrisy and
guile.
The Scriptures also tell us of the
Masters patient labor of love in
teaching his disciples how to heal
the sick as he did through the power
of Truth understood. His clear un-
derstanding of Gods omnipotence
and mans Immortality was evil
denced in his fearlessness before all
material threats. He declared mans
divine Principle of being when he
said (Matthew 5:4S), "Be ye there
fore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect" The
basis of the Masters thought and
action was the perfection of God and
the perfection of man as Gods
spiritual reflection. ..
If we desire to express "the per-
fection of beauty" the glory of Soul
must be evidenced in our lives. 1t
must be manifested in purity, for
giveness, wholeneSS of heart, in
strength of spirit, greatness of mind,
loveliness of life. -.
AS we look back over our lives, is
it not the unselfish service per-
formed, the right course taken, the
work well done, the spiritual idea
realized which remains to make the
present hour glad? Will it not be
the beauty of perfection expressed
in our daily lives which will make
our future fruitful and bright? When
we learn to understand God Alright,
the desire and design of all our daily
living will be to express His beauty
and goodness. Thus will lasting love-
illness be found, but not in outward
show or fading material forms. 1t
will be discovered and possessed as
we reflect the charm of Gods good
ness, the strength of His mercy, the
wealth of His love. In the words of
the Psalmist psalms 90:17, LET
the beauty of the Lord our God be
upon us."-The Christian Science Mon
