Although a lot of us don't like tur- nips, they have their admirers too. Long before Sir Walter Raleigh in- troduced the potato to the Old World, the humble turnip was the chief, everyday vegetable food throughout England and Wales, Many English noblemen put the turnip on their coat-of-arms to indi- cate that they were good to the poor. In the winter of 1917, during the first World War, Germans were at times subsisting on turnips. Hun dreds of acres of turnips had been planted in occupied France by the German soldiers, and our own men pulled the turnips from the soil, peeled and ate them raw with much gusto.
 Today, the Bureau of Home Eco- monies in Washington is touting the turnip as low-cost source of viti- min c.
 1946 No Sweeter
 Because the world supply of sugar in 1946 is expected to be about the same as in l945, there is little ikeli- hood of sugar becoming ration-free for some time. World production may increase, but carry-over stocks have been so reduced that there is less to draw upon than in the past.
 Some areas, particularly the Phil ippines, which normally supply close to million tons of sugar a year 70 the United States, must rebuild pro duction capacity before sizable amounts again will be available. No sugar is expected from this source in 1946.
 Shipments of sugar to the United States from the Caribbean area in the first three months of 1946 are expected to be substantially lower than the usual rate. because year-end stocks in that area are extremely low. The new crop will not begin to move in volume before March. The only area where there i: a substantial sugar stock is Java and so far none has been shipped from that island because of the in- ternal situation.

Relax And Be Formal
BY EMILY POST

quite unconsciously. This is because
true manners are acquired only by
following the rules until they become
instructive.
All behavior that is sloppy, dis
organized, awkward, clownish or
rude is contrary to the meaning of
formal" And formality, whether
we realize it or not, is responsible
for much of the beauty of our daily
lives.
Never has there been greater
need for sound training in the for
malities than at present. Sloppi-.
ness is all too often the order of the
day. Schooling should begin when
the child is very small and he can
learn the essentials almost as natu-
rally as walking.
Formaity VI. Rudeness
UNFORTUNATELY, young people who
should have had better training to-
day show their complete disregard
for other people within sight or hear
ing by shouting, chewing gum nois-
lily or lounging on the middle of
their spines.
They haven't the slightest idea
that they are ill-bred until confront
ed with a situation in which they
want to make a good impression,
such as meeting the family of the
person they want to marry. At the
crucial moment they find themselves
completely at loss.
The shortcoming is not all theirs.
1t is due in part to the recent years
of war, in part to parents who either
did not know how to train their
youngsters or would not take the
trouble.
An instructive knowledge of
the formalities is very much the
same as a knowledge of vocabu-
larry. You may not always use all the
words you know, but there are times
whenit would be real disadvantage
not to know them. Now that the
world of polite society is returning to
normal, the occasions for formal be-
havior are becoming more and more
frequent.
True formality is more than just
something to be brought out of a
camphor chest along with a few
dozen extra forks and spoons. Its
contribution in taste and balance is
essential to all phases of our daily
living.

True fornality is not
stufy; it contributes
beauty to our lives .

In MY daily experience, there is no
mistake l encounter so often as
the misunderstanding over the word
formal"
Often. for example, l hear young
folks on their way to a party say,
II am going formal" They are re-
ferring incorrectly to the superfci-
alities OF dress instead of to the
spirit of the occasion. which is the
real meaning of formal"
People who criticize formality
often describe it as veneer. l prefer
to think of it as a wax polish that
brings out the beauty of the grain
in the wood underneath and makes
not only pleasing but durable
finish.
The formalities are not stuffy
rituals for special occasions.
They are ordinary directions for
everyday behavior. After all, we do
we'll those things which we know
how to do. Knowing the formalities
from beginning to end means that
we are never at a loss as to what to
do or say. or how to do or say it,
under all sorts of conditions.
GreetiA4 Guests
WE RISE to greet our guests. for
example, because we know that for
them the prescribed formalities of
greeting are pleasanter than the
sight of a family lolling in easy chairs
not bothering to look up from books
or newspapers.
We set our dining table according
to fixed pattern that makes it look
more attractive In addition. every
thing is placed in a prescribed posi-
ton. You may reach to the left of
your plate for fork or to the right
for a spoon or knife without even
bothering to look. If the glasses. for
instance. were set at the left of the
place settings by a careless hostess,
you might reach out and accident
ally take the glass belonging to the
person on your right.
In its true sense, then, the word
formal" denotes perfection achieved
by following definitely established
rules. Beautiful manners also follow
such rules, but we may follow them

HANDS ACROSS BERMUDA
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 An example of successful inter- national collaboration has been set by the Bermuda conference on air traffic between this country and Great Britain. The agreement reached by the conterees seems to Us as nearly fair and sensible as any to be hoped for in world of rival sovereignties.
 It starts off by recognizing with out question the first two freedoms of the air as enunciated at Chi cago two years ago-the right of a carrier of one nation to fly through tine air space of another and to land for non-traffic purposes. But then it goes on to outline broad policy with respect to rates. tre- quency of flights, use of military bases and so on, which combines with its initial liberal provisions the wse feature of later review and adjustment as conditions require The approach to the problem, in other words, has been that ot two friendly powers, each anxious to promote civil aviation while avoiding pressure for undue advantage.
 The real test of the agreement, it seems to us, lies in it's handling of the fifth freedom of the air, that to permit a carrier to pick up at a foreign base One remembers the unsolved controversy th.s point raised at the Chicago meeting. At Bermuda, however, it was decided between the two nations (the two, incidentally, most concerned with air traffic. that fifth freedom tral- flc should be subject to adjust ment in particular cases where such adjustment may be found necessary in the light of eXperi- ence." The door. here, is left open to further consultation and amica- ble understanding.
 Throughout the conference" We are told by the British Information Services. representative of the two governments took as their criterion what was best for the future ol air transport.

 He borrowed the name, "lyceum' from Lyceum which in it's time was near Athens, was dedicated to Apollo Lycius and was renowned for it's cool and shady walks and its gymnasium, the latter having nothing to do with shower baths, wall weights and a basketball court, but being a place for mental rather than muscular exercise The philosophers went there to stroll and to cerebrate. The daddy of 'em al Aristotle, used to hold forth there
 JOsiah's plan was really ambitious. He wanted to install a cell Of culture in every community and graduate it upward into an international organiza- tion with 52 presidents drawn from the ranks of the most distinguished scholars and of affairs ot every country on earth.
 That he failed to put over, but from his idea National Lyceum formed in New York in 1881 and it fourished for eight years. That Josiah really had something there is proved by what happened in Mbury, Mass.

 For instance, the Russian who surrendered in Ottawa gave the code name of one man in the State Department with whom the Soviet communicated once every two weeks by courier. The code name, does not give strong enough evidence regarding the officials identity to permit prosecution. But his use- fulness to the government is ended and he will be dropped
